Feels a little snug, but I think that will ease over time. I would probably order a half size larger if I could do it over again. I have been extremely impressed with Zappos, and will definitely use them again!

I've worn three generations of Born shoes, and I love 'em because the Born last accommodates my foot. I have a narrow 12 foot, and no one carries a narrow so I have to make due with medium. Some mediums, like Clark, are hopelessly floppy on me. Born, however, works. And I like their style!

These shoes are a great buy, however, the antimicrobial bed does not last long and we are now having issues with "smelly shoes"....I am disappointed with this purchase - unfortunately, not a good one.

Great shoe! I work in an office with business casual dress and typically purchase this style of shoe for the slip-on convenience, yet isn't too casual. Excellent quality compared to most brands of similar shoe that I have purchased in the past. The inside of the these shoes are much better made and will hold up longer. Typically, I pay in the mid dollar range for this style shoe, but for the quality difference I say the extra money is worth it as these should last at least twice as long!

Beautiful shoes! These are my first pair of Born shoes. Having had Cole Haan and Johnston and Murphy dress shoes I was a little iffy on purchasing these. These were extremely comfortable and look very nice! For the price, these can't be beat!

Zappos' return policy is the greatest! This pair came in a little bigger than expected, so I had to return them. I would have kept them, but they didn't fit properly. The shoe looked great, though.

I purchased these shoes for my 89 year old father who still does a bit of walking and he loves them! He says they are the most comfortable shoes he has ever owned. He really likes the cushioning on the inside. I knew Born was a good quality shoe as I have bought shoes and boots of theirs for myself. I would highly recommend this shoe to anyone looking for comfort and durability.

I was very pleased when my shipment arrived just a few days after placing the order. The size was exactly as stated and they were in excellent condition. I will definitely continue to order from Zappos.com!

Great comfortable shoe. Got them two days before going to Ireland and had no problem with the comfort while walking a great deal. Felt like they had already been broken in. Highly recommend.

My husband has been wanting some shoes he can just slip on, I spotted these through Zappos. They have a rich look and high quality stitching on the shoe, the thread appears red, but it actually blends with the shoe. My husband said they are one of the most comfortable shoes he has worn and he said, "I did well."

These shoes are very comfortable but not very stylish. The very front of these shoes look like 1970's old school nurses' shoes.

Shoe looks great, performs well. Orange stitching doesn't stand out as much as the photo may imply (which is a good thing). I thought it fit when I got it, but then I discovered that it's way too big (mostly too long). I probably just stink at shopping, but select a size carefully.

Good shoe. I bought the Merrell World Legends a few months back and gave away once I got these. Quite a bit less in price and 10 times more comfortable.
