Fabulous feeling and looking! I have these boots in two colors and am back for a third. The radishes is a gorgeous dusty lavender color, the brass is just that, they look like the color brass, a "natural" tone. These are fully lined everywhere inside and extremely comfortable. I've had Uggs for many years. The support, fit and appearance of the Born Shilo make the Uggs look and feel very primitive. I wear a size 9 in Uggs, these are sized the same and seem to be accurate in sizing to me. They do stretch a bit and the Fur smashes down a bit, so even if they are a little snug at first, they will mold to fit your foot. I adore mine and would highly recommend them to anyone. I wear them constantly and wish I had every color!

Radishes... a great color, as shown! All nice colors! Fur inside the foot area; leave it to Born to 'remember' a fur boot should have fur -- inside the shoe itself! Also this boot has larger size calves. Probably over 15 inches in a 9... room for jeans! Neither the shoe size or the calf are 'off' my regular size. I have a wide foot and these are roomy- even with a sock. They remind me of the old Alaskan Mukluk style, very cool! Plus, since they are so affordable (compared to even a short slipper in Uggs) they would be great just for indoor warmth and comfort. Lush thick fur is great for outdoors, with a substantial, practical outdoor sole. I probably could have gotten a half size larger but I like to have the option for winter socks, non-skinny jeans... and so on. Thanks, Zappos, what a sale price!

Pretty Good -
Very comfy inside, lots of fur to keep my feet warm. Only complaint is the fur trim on the outside, looks a little weird and I would prefer it not be there. Also the back heel on the inside has no fur on it and if I don't wear socks it can rub on my heel a bit. Otherwise I really like them.

Beautiful and Comfortable -
I ordered mine in purple, size 8 (my size is 7.5) just yesterday (a holiday) and they were delivered by 11 am today. Zappos is nothing short of amazing. The boots are a perfect fit, and so comfy, once you put them on you won't want to take them off. I couldn't decide between purple and pink, now I think both are sold out. Don't hesitate on these.

Can warm even the coldest feet!
I am a born fan, and these are the best of their shoes by far. Comfortable and warm. I wear them as regular boots, but even around the house as slippers! My husband is amazed that there is something on this planet that can keep my feet warm. I was afraid that I was too old to wear such a style, but I love them.

The Born Shilo was recommended by a colleague and she was right on. From someone who always wore high heeled boots in the winter I was pleasantly surprised. Comfort and warmth won out!!

Super soft inside and out. Fleece all the way to the tips of your toes. Feels like your foot is completely encased in a yummy cloud. I got the muslin (pink) color and it's exactly as the picture looks. The foot is squared off so your toes aren't squished (plenty of room). I wear an 8-8.5 narrow and the 8's fit perfectly. I even had thick socks on and my toes didn't reach the end. There's a new sheriff in town and his name is BORN!

Lush-
Oh my gosh, I got my pink Shilo boots today and they are lush! I normally wear a 6.5, but have been getting my Born shoes (I'm a new Born addict) in size 7. The Shilo boots are just a bit tight on my right foot; I think because of the fur lining all the way throughout. I wish they had half sizes. I think these will stretch out and even so, they are just like walking on a comfy airbed.

LOVE THIS BOOT!
This is the most comfortable boot I have every worn. The fleece is luxurious and extends all the way to the toes. I have received so many compliments from my coworkers and friends. I would recommend this boot to anyone who is looking for comfortable, warm and good looking footwear.

Great shoe -
This is such a great shoe. The look is a little different than what I was expecting but still looks great, I think the picture was a little dark. Size felt good. I wear 6 1/2 but ended up with the 6. Might need to wear thin socks as mine rub just a bit.

I love the look of these shoes and the leather quality is just fantastic. At first they seemed a little narrow for my foot as I ordered a regular width but as I wore them for only ten minutes they gave a bit and fit beautifully. I bought these in brown and black and they look great with jeans. I highly recommend these cool and slick shoes!

Super cozy and cute -
Great boot! Cuter than Uggs, and superior in comfort and support. I am an 8, and the 8 fit perfect. Was very excited to find boot was completely lined in shearling - foot and all. They are incredibly warm and lightweight. And Zappos is amazing: I ordered them Wednesday noon and received them Thursday afternoon!

Looks were something important to me in my 20's...comfort reigns supreme these days in my 50's!These were like wearing a warm soft high-top slipper...I absolutely love them and may get another pair...such color selections! I love Born sandals, clogs and now their boots!

Just moved to Chicago from AZ, so I went looking for winter boots. I bought these because of all the reviews, and I definitely agree! These boots seem like they will be perfect, I'm actually excited for it to snow now! I ended up choosing not to purchase a 1/2 size up and am glad, these fit very well. They're pretty snug around though (not lengthwise) but I don't think that would really change with increasing the size. I think the snugness is ok since it will keep them nice and warm, but it may not be the best shoe for a bigger girl because there's not too much wiggle room. Also, I was soooo impressed with Zappos' shipping! I ordered them on a Saturday night and they were at my building Monday morning! I've never purchased anything from Zappos before but I definitely will again!

Comfort Excellent - looks not so much -
I liked the look of he boot, but the top was too wide, even when up, I could not wear under pants folded down or up. If my legs and pants were very wide, then OK. I sent back and ordered Uggs, but Born are more comfortable for me. Okay, looks over comfort? Got to say that these boots were like wearing slippers, loved the feel.

Just Amazing -
Just got these in the mail today, and tried them on with my bare feet...like heaven. Been walking around in them all day. Fuzzy all the way through. Very soft, very comfortable, and yet have enough support. Bought mine in Meadow, a lovely natural pale green. Can't wait for winter.
