These look great with jeans. They are very well made and extremely comfortable. They have a rugged casual but trendy look. I normally wear a 6.5 or 7, but the 6.5 fits perfectly.

I cannot tell you how much I love these shoes. I just got them today (next day delivery!) and cannot tell you how gorgeous they are. I can wear them with jeans or dressier work pants. I will probably be buying the black pair as well!

Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support

This is the first pair or Born shoes I've worn, but it won't be my last. Despite the higher heel than I am used to, I wear them almost every day. I have plantar fasciitis and because of the great arch support they don't hurt my heel. They look great with jeans and are extremely comfortable. This is also a very sturdy shoe. Well made. I had read a review about these that said they run a little small so I got a half size larger than usual and they fit perfectly.

I love the shoes - very comfortable. The only issue is that just after a few times of wearing them the color faded under the right heel (from the floor mat of my car). Polish will easily fix it but I'm surprised that the leather isn't more resilient (it's very nice and thick).

I have been wearing these shoes for 2 weeks and I absolutely love them. Very comfortable and stylish. Worth every penny. Would buy again in another color.

Wow! I love these shoes. I've worn them every day since I got them a week ago and feel it is time for a review. First of all, I ordered them without high expectations (they didn't look like they would be comfortable for me because I have bunions), but they were a pleasant surprise. It took a few days of breaking them in (my usual routine) and then on the fifth day I actually walked about 3 miles in them (a typical New York City walk). During this walk I kept thinking "these shoes aren't even fully broken in, and they are almost perfectly comfortable". I can not say enough about these shoes. They camouflage my bunions and they look so cute with pants/jeans. The heel is sort of high, but perfect for me. I'm almost 50 and refuse to give up wearing heels. I can't stop looking down at them when I'm wearing them and I get a thrill looking at the reflection of my feet in the store shop windows (they are that good looking). I am a huge fan of these shoes. Thank you Zappos.

Love this shoe! Comfortable from the moment I put it on. Just the right height, looks great with jeans. Highly recommend!

I was looking for a heeled somewhat-stylish pair of shoes to wear on a very long trip to Europe where I would be doing a lot of walking. After much search, I landed on these. I must say, these were even more comfortable than my tennis shoes! If you're looking for comfort and a heel, look no further! Shoes are true to size, but the leather has stretched some with wear, as expected with most leather shoes. I was very happy with this purchase!

Love these shoes. I have them in both black and brown. I just returned from a 3 day business trip with three flights. Walking through security, to flights. Up stairs and down at customer's site. These shoes are great with suits, skirts, dress slacks, and jeans. They are so comfortable that after 16 hours you barely notice them. And did I mention that I've had 9 knee surgeries and have RA so am real picky about the shoes I wear? Great shoes. Born crown is my favorite brand.

I love these shoes. They don't make my feet look small, though. I wouldn't buy them if I wore a size 10! But they are extremely comfy and look good with jeans.

Love this shoe! I have this shoe in both brown and grey. I love the slight mottling around the toe of the shoe that gives it a bit of an aged look. They are my 'go to' shoes when I need to dress up jeans just that little bit because the provide all day comfort along with wonderful good looks. I wear a 7 or 7.5; I always try on both when shopping. In this one, I went with the 7.5, so if you, like me, hover between two sizes, you might want to order the larger first. Recommended!

This is a very elegant, fashionable shoe that seems to be comfortable. It has a very long pointy toe--the end of the shoe is about 2" past the end of my big toe. I'm just too much of a klutz to manage this extra shoe length, so am regretfully returning this shoe.

Born Gertrude - LOVE this shoe! I mostly wear flats for comfort, but this shoe is amazing: very soft leather; good support. I put them on, thinking that I would wear them for a few hours the first time, but they were so comfortable, I wore them all day. You can't go wrong with this shoe.

Dear Zappos, I just wanted to send a quick note to tell you that I will be a loyal customer for as long as you exist! I have never once had a bad experience with Zappos.com and have found even returning a product is pain-free. Many people find buying shoes online to be a process that is a hassle based on shipping costs and not getting a chance to see the shoe actually on their foot, but you have done a tremendous job not only making shipping easy, and FREE, but also providing a number of angles for a shoe online so it can best be represented without physically holding it. I have purchased numerous shoes, sandals and boots from Zappos over the years and have never once been disappointed. Most recently, I was upgraded to expedited shipping for free on my most recent purchase, which again pointed out why I love Zappos so much! My educational background is a degree in marketing as well as an MBA focused in strategic management, which makes me extra critical of things like customer service as well as other business functions. Zappos always comes up as my example of companies who are doing things right and charting their own path to success. I recommend your site to people all the time and hopefully they will experience the delight I have come to know as 'the norm' when dealing with Zappos. Thank you to everybody there for their hard work, dedication and emphasis on the customer. It is not going unrecognized and you have me hooked for life! Well done and I look forward to many future purchases! Most Sincerely, Ryan S.
