Super stylish and comfy! And the color goes with almost everything. It's kind of greyish, greenish, brownish metallic. Really versatile.

This is the only pair of flats that I enjoy wearing all day. They don't slip off the heel when I walk, and the little heel and modest arch give them more suppot than most. The pewter-y color is a great neutral too.

Cute, comfortable - I think. I usually wear 7 1/2 but my toes were at the end. I will try the 8 when it becomes available.

I love this shoe. I bought the snake print in gray. Love the color. However, it ran a size small for me. I normally wear a 7.5 and had to order an 8. But as always Zappos exchange policy is great.

Cute flats! Good cushioning, some support. A little snug around the big toe joint, which is breaking in nicely, so not a real problem for me.

I'm having a hard time breaking in these shoes. I've had Born shoes before that were more comfortable. These feel too narrow, and I'm going to have to have them stretched. Can't return them because I've worn them around, thinking they'd break in easily like previous Born shoes.

Very cute but runs small. I always wear a 7, but in this shoe the 7 was too short.

Love Borns, they are so nice to the feet. However, this pair was weird. L foot wider than the R...noticeably so, as if stretched. Returned. I hate it when the shoes have defects like that!

I am very happy with my stowaway flats. After a few wears they were broken in and are super comfy. They are true to size. I've tried lots of flats that never worked but these have just the right amount of support. Plus they loom great with everything!

I have many Born shoes and I always wear a 6.5 with no problem. I walked right out of these shoes. They were long and wide (I have a moderately narrow foot). They are so very cute that I'm going to try a 6 but I'm afraid they'll be too short. The leather is very attractive and can be dressed up or down. They're flats. They don't really have "support" just a little cushioning.

These are out of the box comfortable. I wear a size 8.5 and they are perfect. Nice footbed. Bringing on a two week trip to France next month. Will report back if any issues.

Ordered these in the black/pewter in a 6.5 and they fit true to size. I have a slightly wide toebox but narrow heels, so I was worried, but the fit is perfect. And they are so comfortable. However, maybe I just didn't notice it in the pictures, but the toe is very round, which is a deal-breaker for me (makes my feet look stubby). I also think the color appears darker than the picture (maybe because you don't notice the pewter details unless there's a direct light shining on them). These unfortunately will be going back.

I ordered these in the grey snake pattern. They were super cute, fit great, and would have been a good match for me. They fit me true to size (unlike the original Stowaways which ran half a size small for me). The vamp is fairly high (no toe cleavage), construction is solid, toe is round but seemed less round than the original Stowaways. Unfortunately the shoes arrived in a generic box, and seemed used (sole seemed worn down from walking around outdoors). That is a first, and I have ordered lots of shoes from Zappos. Unfortunately it was the last pair in stock, so I had to return them instead of exchanging them for a new pair.

I agree with many other reviewers that this is the perfect flat! These shoes do not force the wearer to sacrifice comfort for fashion. The Stowaway II are both cute and practical! They've got padded footbed and arch support, and even some toe wiggle room. Looking forward to lots of "happy feet" days ahead.

Yuck, toe cleavage. These shoes barely cover your toes even though they look like a classic flat.

Really disappointed with these Borns. I have about 10 pair of Born shoes and boots and they are usually really comfortable. I found these to be extremely hard and very wide. There was also a variation in the leather on one shoe that did not occur on the other which made it look like a defect. I really can't believe that anyone found these to be comfortable. Maybe I just got a bad pair? Thanks, Zappos for your very liberal return policy. I'll just try something else.

This is my third pair of Born Stowaways and these have a weird defect that I didn't notice until I'd worn them around for a day. While all my other pairs have been made of very sturdy leather, these seem a little less so and an odd crease has formed on the right shoe only. It makes them look rather cheap, which is disappointing, and will likely lead the them wearing out sooner than usual. It could just be a fluke with the pair I got, but it's a bit of a bummer, as I was super excited about this print.

Bought these for work. Based on other reviews I ordered a half-size smaller than what I usually wear (got a 6.5 vs 7) and the fit was perfect. Still a little too wide on my narrow (er, bony) feet. Plenty of cushy-ness on the sole and good arch support. After trying on, decided I wanted something with a little bit pointier toe, and I was disappointed to see these shoes are made in China -- with those downsides couldn't justify the price. Will return.
