I just got these clogs, and all I can say is "aaahhh." My poor bunion-y feet have been suffering so much since I was overly ambitious traipsing around Paris. I am only 46 and now the podiatrist says I have developed arthritis from abusing my feet on the hard cobblestones and marble many many miles a day! But when I put these clogs on today, my feet smiled and said "Thank you!" True to size, I ordered my usual 6.5 and they feel perfect with thin socks right out of the box. I wish I had been wearing these around Paris, instead of trying to look cute in little flats and Converse. I don't know how the French girls manage it, must be genetic. If you wish you could wear sneakers all day, these might feel even better.

True to size and width. I have the worst feet on earth including nerve damage in my left foot and these are so comfortable right out of the box. I think Born shoes must be made by magic elves or something. These are really cute and will look great with everything. A little bit of height is nice, too. Zappos rocks!

Born Toby looks a lot like Dansko's professional clog, many of which have taken up residence in my closet in the past couple of years. And while I like and still wear Danskos, the Born Toby is a vast improvement. For one thing, and it isn't obvious from the picture, they are less clunky. The whole shoe is lighter, the footbed more forgiving, and the leather more supple. It has a heel, but when I'm wearing these clogs, I don't feel like I'm clomping around on a heavy, stiff platform as I sometimes do when I'm wearing Danskos. They're also really comfy, almost like wearing a slipper.

This is my second pair of Born shoes and I am so pleased with them. They required very little breaking in time and are so lightweight and comfortable. As other reviewers have said, they are less clunky than a Dansko clog, more sleek and fitted. I like that these give me a couple of inches of height but have a platform so there\'s not too much of a slope between heel and toe. My usual size, 7.5 M, is a very comfortable fit with socks. The cushioned padding is wonderful. I ordered the brown color, and it\'s darker in reality than in the pics, a nice neutral that goes with everything. Zappos got these to me in under 24 hours!

These shoes are really comfortable and since these are my work shoes, they making standing for long periods of time bearable. They seemed to run a little big.

I have a medium to wide foot with high arches. This shoe has good arch support and looks great. I'm writing this after a month and they stretched and are a little too loose now. I would go for tight at the beginning. Happy shoe hunting to you all. Zappos does rule.

Love these shoes! They are very comfortable. The only thing is that my foot is a 10 and a little narrow; they don't bother me, but they are a little looser than I'd like. Nothing a thicker sock doesn't take care of. I can wear these with anything and anywhere, love them!

Awesome shoe; very comfortable and stable. I love the look of the Danksos, but they were too hard for my feet. These are perfect; the look and comfort I wanted all in one shoe. True to size for me.

I am in love with Born shoes. I suffer from bunions & back issues so a roomy, lightweight shoe is ideal for me & with Born, I don't have to sacrifice style. Much as another reviewer noted, the Born "clog" is much lighter in weight & bulk than the Dansko version, which for me is a much better choice. I do wish there was more arch support in the Toby, but at the end of the day when my feet hurt, these shoes are still a pleasure to slip into, if I have to go out again. We walk everywhere in Hoboken, so these shoes are a blessing.

This a wonderful and comfortable everyday shoe. However, it does seem to run big and stretch out with wear. If you on the fence between two sizes, I would go with the smaller size.

First of all - I have loved every pair of Born shoes I\'ve ever purchased, which is about 8 in the last 4 years. I purchased these in the tan color - and the leather has not held up well at all - easily scuffed, and discolored after only wearing them 3-4 times in regular conditions. Perhaps the darker colors are the way to go, but I was disappointed, and am in the process of returning them. Perhaps I just got a bad batch?

These are the best shoes I have worn. They are a little big but adding a shoe liner makes them perfect. I like the heel - not too low, but not too high.

I liked styling and seemed like they\'d be comfortable, if only they fit! I ordered my usual size 6 and I had enough room behind my heel to fit my thumb in the shoe. Since there\'s no option for a size 5, I\'m sending them back.

I just received these shoes. Wonderful purchase, very comfortable. I ordered a size 9 and they were just right, that is the size I wear. Lovely shoes for jeans, I ordered the Brown. They are just what I wanted. The brown is very dark like I like. These shoes are very light. If anyone has any sort of a problem with their feet or knees, these will be perfect. I have problems with my knees and I have to wear a lightweight shoe, and this is the one. Just like all the other testimonials, I like to read and see what they have to say before a make my purchase and they were right. These shoes are wonderful, and Zappos you are the best. I ordered these shoes Saturday night; they were here Monday. What more can you ask for? Wonderful service and the selection is just fabulous. I love Zappos the best. I hate going to the mall and trying shoes on. Sometimes the service is horrible and I would much rather try them on at home and if you don't like them, you can return them at no charge. What more could anyone ask for? Well, I am very satisfied and if you order these shoes, you will not be disappointed I am sure. Good luck shopping at Zappos. You can find just about anything you want here. Love Zappos .

This shoe is super comfortable! I have no foot issues but I have back problems, so I need a good shoe. This shoe does not tilt you in any direction allowing the spine to stay neutral while it cushions and supports your foot. Well made, with good traction. They look as pictured, not clunky at all. A real pleasure to wear! Thanks for such great service Zappos!

These are the most comfortable shoe that I've ever worn. I've always loved the look and feel of clogs, minus the flip-flop feel. I want to order the same style in a dark brown Croc pattern. I ordered a 1/2 size down. I'm usually a size 9 1/2, because I had tried them on in a store previous to my purchase at Zappos. In time they will stretch to the shape of your foot. They look great with jeans, work pants and skirts. This is the perfect height without enduring the pain of the stiletto ankle-breakers. Comfort over the latest fads? Give me comfort any day! Enjoy!

This style is comfortable, as I suffer from moderate back and joint problems. However, this shoe runs larger and wider than the norm. The brown color also seems to get darker in some areas of shoe after first wear, and shows scuffs easily. Inside of shoe is very comfortable, important since I can't wear socks or the shoe slips off (due to wide width). I love Zappos no hassle return policy.
