I like these a lot. Loose at the top, so they look a little weird with short dresses and such, but I love them with longer things and slim jeans.

So comfortable. I have never had luck finding comfortable shoes (aside from sneakers) due to my slightly wide feet, but these fit the bill! They are soft and light and the strap ensures a good fit. Perfect!

These are the best shoes I have worn. They are a little big but adding a shoe liner makes them perfect. I like the heel - not too low, but not too high.

I love these shoes, they are so comfortable. These are the 2nd pair of Born shoes I have and I will be buying more. I have narrow feet and this is one of the only brands I can wear without getting a narrow.

Bad ass boots! Nothing to complain about. Better than expected is always good. Born rocks. If you are having a hard time deciding, let me clear it up for you: get these boots. Done deal.

Seriously love this shoe. The most comfortable, cute little flat in real leather and so well made! They required no breaking in (or breaking of my skin at the back of my ankle like most flats!). They are comfortable with a bit of puffy arch support, perfect for walking in the city. Born just does it right. One thing though, I wear a whole size down in these shoes; usually with dress shoes/flats I always wear a 1/2 size down from my norm, but this one was a whole size down. I have the brown leather, but plan to buy a black pair, too.

I was excited to receive these boots! I love the color, and style; it fit me perfectly! I tried them on with pencil jeans, and it looked great; I'm sure it will look well with skirts/dresses as well. Definitely not a disappointment, and obviously I am pleased with my purchase.

Loved this sandal from the moment that I put it on. Unfortunately, my wacky little toe kept popping out from between the straps so I had to return them. If I didn't have the little toe issue, they would have been probably the most comfy sandals I've had in years.

Overall:

I have been wanting these for months, because of the shearling lining, and finally decided to treat myself to a dark brown pair. Sadly, I am very disappointed. They are just not up to the usual standard of comfort I have come to expect from Born shoes. I have several pair of Borns, and buy this brand because they have very soft, comfortable soles. These Theda soles were very hard and flat, with no cushion whatsoever. They felt like a pair of bedroom slippers. Too expensive to keep them for that purpose though, they are going back. Definitely not worth the money. Also, I bought a 7, thought they ran large, more like an 8, to me.

Fantastic boot. Extremely well made, beautiful brown suede, soft foot bed, snug heel, and room in the toe box. The calf portion of the boot has a separation on the upper outside, which is covered by the flap and the buckles. This flap will allow gals with larger calves a roomy fit. And like another reviewer mentioned, plenty of room to tuck in jeans. Unfortunately, I wear a size 9, normal width foot, but these were a half size to big. No worries with Zappos; I just ordered down. With free returns, free overnight with replacement, not to mention the original shipping is overnight, is there any other retailer any better? Nope.

Excellent shoe. Ran true to size and a bit narrow, which is good for my foot. Most Borns that I have tried run on the wide side, but not this particular style.

Overall:

I love these shoes. Comfortable right out of the box. The leather is soft and will have no problem forming to my foot (not that there is any need for that). The heel is perfect for someone like me who does not care for heels. I will note that I am a size 9 and ordered a size 9 and had to return them for an 8 1/2. My heel was floating around in the 9 and I could fit three fingers down the back of the shoe at the heel. From the other reviews I had wondered if they were mismarked because there were no other complaints of size. I have another Born tall boot that I wear a 9 in and it fits just fine. Also there is this little bump thing in the arch and if you have a flat arch this may be uncomfortable for you.

I really like these boots. However, I had to stretch the tops of the boots to get my foot in. Once that was achieved and I could get my foot to rest on the sole, these boots became my favorite. The leather is supple, the fit is a true size (I wear a size 10 M), and they are great looking.

I love these shoes. They are appropriate and stylish for work or the weekend. Most importantly, they are VERY comfortable. I can easily walk about a mile to the train every day.

Very comfortable for walking in airports and cities. Little shorter than some 8s. Looks great with pants and longer skirts. Would buy again.

Very comfortable, great fitting (true to size), and good support too. They look great with jeans. I have other Born shoes and find them stylish and well made (BTW: Zappos is the best!).

Overall:

I love the shoes - very comfortable. The only issue is that just after a few times of wearing them the color faded under the right heel (from the floor mat of my car). Polish will easily fix it but I'm surprised that the leather isn't more resilient (it's very nice and thick).

Overall:

I love these shoes, they are so comfortable. I purchased the silver ones first (which aren't really silver but more of a pinky bronze, just like the photo) and because they were so comfortable, I went back and ordered a black pair. They do run a bit small, though. I usually wear an 8.5 flat, but I purchased a size 9 based on another review, and they fit well.

This shoe rocks! I refer to them as my orthopedic heels! Thanks to the thick sole they were super comfortable from the first day I wore them! No breaking in period! This is a shoe you can put on at 6 am and wear till 10 pm and never take them off. Very versatile. I wear these shoes with shorts, dresses, jeans! I can not say enough good about this shoe! A good choice for people with wide feet!

I don't have particularly think calves, but these were so wide they made me look like an elf. Too bad, because the foot fit great.

I love these boots! They are so comfortable, and I am on my feet all day long. They look great with skinny jeans, and with tall socks and skirts. I get so many compliments on them every time I wear them. Born is the most comfortable shoe I can find, and this is my second pair of their low-heel boots. My feet and knees feel great all day in these! I wear a 9 in Born shoes, and this was the perfect size for these boots. The shaft is a little roomy, but it still looks great!

Love these boots. Not only did they arrive in less than 24 hours, they were cheaper than the local department store I saw them at! The first time I wore them I was in them for 8 hours at least and I walked at least 4 miles in them. Super comfortable! I don't remember the last time I wore shoes for the first time (and walked a distance) and did not get blisters or ANY soreness. YEAH! And, as far as looks - they look great. The red detail is a little more subtle then they appear in the photo.

Wow! I ordered these boots yesterday afternoon, and they were on my porch when I got home from work today. Amazingly fast shipping! As for the boots themselves, incredible! They fit perfectly right out of the box, and I wore them for 3 hours tonight at a gathering. My feet felt amazing the whole time! I love them!

Overall:

Love! I have the black ones. They are the quality that I expect from Born Crown shoes: really nice leather, nice arch padding, super sturdy. And they are sexy as all get out. Two minor problems: my little toe was squeezed and blistered the first few times I wore them, but they have broken in, and they are not as versatile as I had hoped because the ankle strap is a little higher than I thought it was.
