My new favorite shoes! When I first tried these on I was disappointed. They felt tight all around. Then I realized my old favorite shoes (for dog-walking, errands, etc.) were no longer fitting well. I wore the Born shoes around the house, intending to try them for a half hour or so. I never took them off. They are totally comfortable, supportive, and fun to wear. I usually put my boiled wool sippers on shortly after I get home, but now I forget to, because these shoes are so comfortable.

Cute shoes, but the side touches my ankle and, with the low toe space, I can't put a lift in. Really disappointed to be sending them back.

Way too small at even a half size up for my normal size 7 foot. The toe box area is so squished. Wished they had these in a full size up rather than just a half size up. The sole of the foot for a flat shoe is comfortable and I wore them all day hoping they would stretch out, and only a little bit did they stretch. I like the look for a casual but dressier than tennis shoe look to khaki pants or shorts. You may be disappointed in the front of shoe unless you have really narrow feet.

I love these shoes. They're so comfortable & look great with jeans. I prefer slip-ons, but needed something with greater support for my feet. These fit the bill. I think Born runs about a size smaller.

I had to order a half size larger than I normally wear in Born shoes since the toe box was tight. Other than that, I love the quality and know they will last for several years.
