These shoes are everything I want in a loafer. They fit perfectly and look stylish. I'm really impressed by the sole. I've had trouble with similar shoes developing holes at the front, but with this sole design I should be completely fine. I have them in tan. I would like to get them in brown also if they don't sell out.

I sell shoes here in Austin and have known for a long while now that Borns run large. They are a little roomy (too roomy) for a fairly skinny foot like mine. I love the look of it. I agree that the arch "support" is really just an annoyance and, over a long period of time, can become painful. I have the tan ones and really like the color. I have a pair of lace up Cole Haans the same color and have loved them dearly. Other than the sizing and the "arch" I'm pretty satisfied.

Great looking shoes - Great looking shoes, perfect fit. I had a problem with Born arch support system, which does not support the arch, instead it just pokes my feet creating a very uncomfortable sensation, had them removed at the shoe repair.

Additional Brand Information

Born is a leading manufacturer of genuinely superior comfort footwear for men, women, and children. The line was created to fill a void in the footwear industry during a time when consumers demanded comfort, but had to sacrifice style in order to get it. The goal of Born footwear is to continue to focus on offering customers everywhere a brand that first and foremost provides comfort, but is also fashionable and fun to wear.

Why are Born shoes so comfortable? By using the art of "Opanka" hand-sewn construction combined with the finest quality materials, Born is able to craft shoes that are durable, lightweight and flexible, allowing the wearer to walk as if they were barefoot. In addition, soft supple leathers and shock-absorbing foam ensure the foot is wrapped in comfort.

Born shoes have been sold in premier retail stores since 1995 and their appeal to a variety of lifestyles continues to attract customers old and new. They offer a wide selection to men and women of style who have a young, free-spirited attitude about their footwear and lifestyle. Born shoes are “Works of Art” worn by all age groups, and their styles are as versatile as their customer base is diverse.
