    These flats are so cute and the footbed is cushy! My feet are a little wide, and they were tight at the base of my pinky toe. I think they will stretch out with some more wear though and I will definitely keep them. Basically they seemed true to size, and I would recommend them.

    Most comfortable flat ever! This shoe is like walking on air! I work on my feet all day and these shoes still feel great. Very stylish. These shoes do not rub my feet and give me blisters like most shoes. Great buy!

    Really comfortable shoe that goes great with skirts or pants. Slips a bit in the heel, but I have a narrow heel. Cushioned footbed makes this a lot more comfortable over a long day than other flats! Detailing at the toe is nice, classy.

    These are so adorable, and so comfortable! I got them in brown and they go great with jeans. They seem so durable for a flat, too. They don't get my feet all sweaty either, a very breathable shoe.

    Very comfy - This shoe is very soft and comfortable, and really does let your foot breathe! I have a size 7.5 Wide foot, and while these squeeze a little bit at my toes, I can tell that the leather is soft enough that I will break them in. I would recommend this shoe as a comfortable, high quality versatile flat that can be dressed up or down and be worn with skirts, dresses or pants. I had really wanted something a more rounded toebox, but this, more narrow, still looks dainty on my feet.

    I have wide feet and these fit perfectly, and can tell that they will stretch a little with wear. Very cute and perfect for fall! Plus I have never tried on such a comfy flat before; most have no support at all but these have a (cute) cushioned lining! Highly recommend!

    These shoes are like wearing slippers. I was worried about arch support since they are flat, but there is enough. They are dressy and casual as they work with dresses and jeans. The sole does not cover the entire bottom of shoe, which will be a problem in a Minnesota winter!

    I am quickly becoming a fan of Born shoes. This pair feels like pillows on your feet. I do wish the sole had just a tiny bit more solidity, but the support is sufficient. I am barely resisting my urge to get the blue and the green as well. Zappos is awesome as always!

    I bought this shoe in blue and loved it so much I bought another pair in brown. I'm on my feet all day and have chronic foot pain. Flats are always hard to wear because they never have any arch support. These don't have a lot of support, but they are so cushioned inside that they're still comfortable all day. The blue color looks cute with jeans and is a great alternative to your everyday black shoe. LOVE these shoes!

    These are the best flats I have ever owned. So comfortable, I can wear them to work all day and they don't bother me at all! They are even cuter in person; the leather is very rich and soft and they are very feminine. I bought them in brown also because I love them so much.

    I was looking for comfortable, durable, and stylish black flats for a very long time. When I first got these, I wasn't sure if they would be comfortable. The leather was a little stiff and tight. However, after just a few wears, they softened up and are now my favorite pair of black flats that I have ever owned (and I have owned quite a few). I walk more than 1 mile every day, and after a month, they have held up beautifully.

    Attractive to look at, but I had to return them because they made my moderately wide feet look really wide. Debated a while before deciding I couldn't live with it, though.

    Wonderful shoes, two tiny complaints. First, the good: they fit well, are a nice leather, and are comfortable. I've been working 14 hour days in them, running around, no complaints. Second, the minor issues: the bigger one is that they are lined in fabric, not leather. Some people might not have a problem with this, but I find it makes the shoes smell worse more quickly. The smaller one was the slight break-in issues on the top of the foot, but that may just be my feet! Overall, well worth the low price for leather flats.

    Brands I'd also recommend: Clarks, Minnetonka, Sofft

    These shoes are so soft I didn\'t need to break them in! They look sweet with a business type suit or jeans but are cute with skirts too and are a nice addition to my semi dressy shoe wardrobe! They even have some arch support.

    This is a very well-made shoe, with simple styling. Great with jeans, leggings, dresses. It does run a little big. I am a size 9, but had to order an 8.5. I have very narrow feet, and it fits well. If your feet are wide, this is not the shoe for you.

    This is a great little shoe. Really well made. The fit is true to size with no break in time. They look good with pants, capris, and skirts. I'm thinking of getting another pair in a different color.

    This shoe is cute and it is fairly well padded and comfortable for a flat, but it runs wide to begin with and the leather is very soft and stretchy. I've only had it for a few weeks and I already have one pair of pads inside to help me keep it on, and I'm going to need something more because the pad I'm using isn't enough. Butter soft leather feels great (these seriously feel like houseshoes on my feet), but if they don't have enough structure to keep their shape, it is a problem. So make sure that the shoe fits you well or is even a little snug before you buy.

    Brands I'd also recommend: Softt, Bella Vita

    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.
