Born slippers -
I wear these all the time as soon as I get home from work. These are great and I would recommend them. They are spendy but I'm getting my money worth out of them.

Worth the price -
I love the Born Gabi, if you're looking for a comfortable shoe as well as a cute shoe, these are IT! I made sure to waterproof the suede and they look great.

Love these shoes -
No more cold feet for me! These shoes are very comfortable, very snuggy, and my feet don't slip out of them like some shoes. If you have narrow feet, as I do, these will work well for you. The solid sole gives a lot of support. The areas around the ankle dip down so they don't rub on my ankle bone at all. I'll be wearing these for a long time, so they're well worth the price.

Love the Gabi!
Shoe is GREAT. Fits pretty true to size. I get compliments on it every time I wear it. My 15-year old even said she wanted a pair. They are comfortable, keep my feet very warm and it's a fabulous day-to-day shoe to run around in and get errands done!

Warm and Cozy -
That's the best way I can describe these shoes. This has been a cold winter, and I find myself planning what I'll wear each day based on what goes with these shoes! I don't want to wear anything else. I have the brass color, and I got my mom a pair of chocolate. She loves them too. If you like warm, cozy shoes you will love these. Enjoy!

Very Warm -
I bought these to wear as a slipper around the house. They are good for this use, but I can't slip them on in a flash. Otherwise very warm and can walk to the end of the driveway in them to get the mail. If used for a street shoe, they would be very comfortable also. Comfort and warmth with these. Can't go wrong with Born. Zappos is THE BEST!

Wow -
I haven't been out of these shoes since I got them. They are sooooo comfortable and warm. The minute I get home they're on and don't come off until I go to bed. They are great for either indoors or outdoors - especially in the upstate NY wintertime! Do spray them with waterproofer though.

Perfect Winter Shoes -
I love these shoes. Especially since we are having a colder than normal winter thus far. My job requires some outside work and these are perfect! Warm, supportive, comfortable. Wish the darker brown was still available. I may get the moss. I like these THAT much!

These have improved the quality of my life. I really love them. I’m tempted to buy another and wear them as shoes because I really am happy with them.

Great cold weather casual shoe -
Comfortable. Shearling lining makes socks unnecessary. Very comfortable. Run a little big, but ordering my European size rather than US size would fix that problem.

Love this shoe!
I debated over purchasing this shoe for a few weeks. I was looking for something to replace my fuzzy clogs I buy every year, which I love. The problem with my favorite Rocket Dog clogs was they only lasted one winter before wearing holes through the interior lining. These Born's are exactly what I wanted in a slip-on winter shoe. SO comfortable, warm, and easy to put on and kick off. They look great with jeans and prefect for casual Friday's at work. The price scared me off but I think it stands for the quality. The true test will be if they last me through more than one Iowa winter!

Awesome Shoes! I was looking for something like my shearling boots, but in a shoe, and this is perfect. These are just like wearing your slippers outside in the world, just as comfortable and very warm. A good alternative to boots and a stylish look.

Is It a Shoe? Is It a Slipper? Is It Both?
I love Born shoes, & this slipper is no exception! It's warm, comfortable, & easy on the eyes. I live in the rainy Seattle area, & it's nice to have slippers I can go get the mail in & not get my feet wet. I also like the fact that it's higher at the ankle than most slippers so my ankles don't get cold. Even though I won't wear it as a shoe, I'm sure I could & no one would know the difference! I love it!

Perfect, except not orthotics friendly -
I got this shoe as an alternative to the Uggs moccasins that I've been wearing around the house every day for the past several years. The Uggs are still good, but I really hate always having to tie the leather shoestrings in that bow. This, I thought would be an artisan-like, Robin Hoodian alternative and would look good inside and outside. It's in the same price category. It succeeds on all levels but one: You cannot pull out the bottom and put an orthotic into it under the shearling. There is plenty of room to add one on top, but that defeats the purpose of the comfy shearling. BIG disappointment. But it works on every other level. Cool shoe. But message to BORN: Please redesign the insole so that I can wear my orthotics around the house. Do that and I'll forget Uggs forever for my around-the-house, all purpose, go-to-market shoe. I love the meadow color. It's the perfect daily shoe if you don't need orthotics or arch supports.
