Love these shoes! They are really comfortable and are just the right height. I also have planter fasciitis in one foot and the shoe supports my arch well.

Sending these back, sadly. Love the style but the color was off. The raspberry is more hot pink than I imagined -- was hoping for something more dark fuchsia. Also, be sure to order a half size down!

I loved these shoes! I searched all over the internet and in stores for an elegant pair of green shoes for my wedding. I didn't want a huge heel, I wanted a peep toe, something a little interesting for the top of the shoe, and that cut out part in the inside of the shoe. When I found these I knew they were exactly what I was looking for! I got them in the Green Apple satin. I originally got a size 7, which is what I typically wear. It was just a little too big; when I walked around in them the heel would start to slip off. I decided to exchange them and go down half a size, and then they fit perfectly! I wore them for my entire wedding ceremony, pictures, and reception. It wasn't until about a half an hour before the end of our reception that they became uncomfortable. Overall, they were a lovely pair of shoes, and I still get comments about my beautiful green wedding shoes!

This shoe fits my wide foot comfortably. However, the color doesn't work with the dress I'm planning to wear. I think I'll exchange it for the pewter color if it's available.

Awesome shoes! They pinched just a little where my toes peep out, but other than that they are the most comfortable heels I have ever worn.

I bought this shoe to wear to an evening wedding. I'm 5'10", so I've not owned many pairs of heels in my life. Nonetheless, this was the prettiest pair of shoes I've ever worn. They fit my somewhat wide-footed front, narrow-heeled foot like a glove. I'm not going to say that I could have walked miles in them, but I did dance a little and definitely felt beautiful all night. I'm not sure how to describe the color -- somewhere between hot pink and purple -- but it was a rich, vibrant hue -- gorgeous!

I wore these shoes to my son's wedding. I needed a specific color to match my dress, and this was it. The heel height was perfect for a floor-length gown. The design is flattering. Nina offers so many beautiful designs for dressy occasions. I highly recommend these...plus, they come in lots of colors to coordinate with your outfit!

This is a very beautiful shoe/color. I ordered it for my upcoming wedding. I'm not sure if I am going to wear it or have a 100% comfortable shoe dyed. This one is comfortable now, but I am a little concerned after a long day that my toes or heels will hurt in this type of shoe.

I purchased these in the paloma burnished leather and I found them to be exactly as pictured...super cute! I wore them for the first time yesterday. After 9 hours they were just as comfortable as when I put them on. They are really cushy inside and I apppreciated the arch support, most flats have none.

Love these shoes. Extremely comfortable for walking and wearing all day. Sizes run true to size. Since I am a 7 1/2, I normally order up to the half size to an 8. Had to return (painlessly through Zappos) and got the 7 1/2. Fit and look beautiful.

Love them, love them!! After receiving the red I turned around and ordered the whiskey. They do run slightly wide but not bad.

Very nice. Good arch support. Excellent support for the bottom of the foot, which is unusual for a flat. Also, they did not make my size 9 feet look large. Returned them only because the whiskey color was a little darker than what I needed.

I have these in the whiskey color, which I think looks SO much better in-person than online-- these shoes have a lot of detail-work and color gradation in the leather that's difficult to make out in a photograph. But in person, they're truly gorgeous. They fit true to size and width, and the arch support is good for flats. As it's the dead of winter I haven't had the chance to wear them outside yet, but walking around the house in them, they feel very comfortable. I foresee getting a lot of use out of these come spring!

Like slipping on a pair of gloves...only reason I marked it down one star on overall is that because of the hard heel, there is a fair amount of noise on a hard floor, but I can live with it!

These are pretty cute. I am not in love, but they will do fine with a variety of items. One thing that is odd is that the shoe curves up at the toes which is a tiny bit awkward. The color is more of a pale burnt, burnished orange.

The shoes are cute and the color is really true to the picture displayed,but I found the shoes to be very stiff and uncomfortable. I wear a 7.5 and the shoes fit but I believe that a shoe needs to fit well from the first time you try them on, not until you "break them in". I have purchased other Born shoes in the past and have been very satisfied, but this pair is going back.
