They're going back! I like the look and feel of these, but when I walked on a hard surface there was a hard, plastic-y feeling to the soles. It seems like the fancy Born wording on the bottom is made of cheap, hard plastic, and it sticks out further than the rest of the sole and actually clacks on the floor. Not worth the money!

I love these shoes. They are so comfortable. The color is a happy spring day. The men in my life even notice them.

This shoe almost says "fun" right out loud when you remove it from the box. The cool footbed lining has bright multi colored little fruits on it, as example, and then there is that unique "Born Script" design on the sole. Which may also be a drawback of the shoe - I wore them to walk up and down the hardwood in my hallway and agree with the reviewer who found these made a tapping sound, since that design sits just a little proud of the rest of the sole. But I have a gait problem due to MS, so maybe that tapping would not be audible for others with normal gait. As for fit, I am an 8 1/2 to 9 shoe size, and these fit nicely in the 40 Euro with more room than I expected in the toe box for my square toes; a nice surprise. These aren't shoes I'd choose to wear for hours at a time - given I need more arch support for standing stability - but for shorter wear, they should work well. I ordered the nude color and it's a great neutral. But these are so darned fun, I wish I was bold enough to have ordered one of the great colors!

I have this shoe in Nude and plan to buy the green color next. They are immensely comfortable. I put two coats of a weather protector on them. I've worn them 3 times and so far no problems keeping them clean. Love them! :)

Love my Kais! Perfect for traveling - comfortable for walking. They are made of soft leather, so they will stretch to comfort immediately. I treated mine with a water-repellent spray for leather.

What excellent service one gets with Zappos. I received my order in a couple days. I love my shoes and wear them a lot as they are so comfortable and have excellent arch support. I definitely will order again.

This shoe is extrememly comfortable. It does not rub the back of my heel and it does not crush my little toe. It feels best when worn with a thin sock but feels ok without socks.

I highly recommend these sneakers. They are super-comfortable right out of the box. I wish they came in more (better) colors; I'd buy an additional pair.

Comfortable from minute 1. These cute and stylish sneakers are fabulously comfortable. Ordinarily I have to break sneakers in for a day or two to get rid of any hot spots. These were comfortable from the first minute. My new favorite shoes!

Great Born shoe. I've found Born shoes to be on the wide side, and this is no exception. Somewhat like an old fashioned tennis shoe, not alot of arch, which I like. Having bunions, it is difficult to find comfortable shoes, and this one fills the bill. Kinda' wished I had ordered it in the red color though.

Great! Runs small so order a size up, (I wear an 8 but the 9 fits perfect) but super comfortable, soft and broken in. It looks good with jeans and highly recommended! And the super fast shipping is just a big plus on top of all of it! Wow!

Good-looking, comfortable, goes with many casual clothes. Ran 1/2 size too large for me, exchanged. Zappos is great, sent rapidly both times! I won't buy shoes from any other online company.

I really like these shoes. The color is great and they are really comfortable. They fit well right out of the box. And I get tons of admiring comments from people every time I wear them. It's the color that attracts people. Don't buy them if you are shy about having total strangers compliment you about your shoes.

Loved the color., but had to send back sizes 6 and 7. The 6 was narrow for my slightly wide foot. The big toe hit the side of the shoe. The 7 was huge and looked like a boat. The leather is very thin, this shoe seemed a little flimsy.

From an appearance standpoint, I absolutely love this sneaker. The turquoise is so striking, and I have tops that would go great with them. My only concern is that I have relatively narrow heels and ankles, and this sneaker doesn't feel as snug as I would like. Uggs Evera fits me more comfortably. But I may still have to hold onto these sneakers because they're just so darn cute!
