I have worked in retail for over 30 years and am on my feet 8 hours a day. These are truly the most comfortable shoes I have ever purchased. From the first moment you put them on, you know this is a shoe you can wear every day in comfort.

These are very comfortable, felt true to size, a little narrower than most B widths. My foot is between a B and an A width, so I appreciate having a shoe width that actually fits me.

I love this shoe. It looks great with button down shirts and jeans. It's comfortable. Not too formal and not too casual. Just right. I usually wear a wide but the medium worked out very fine. There was no need to break-in - it was comfortable the first day.

I love these shoes. I purchased them 3 weeks ago to wear to work. I walk and stand all day on concrete and find them very comfortable. I like the fact they are tie shoes which lets me adjust the fit when I wear thicker socks. The arch support is great. I don\'t wear my orthotics in these shoes because I don\'t have to. These are great shoes at a great price.

I absolutely love, love these shoes. They are so comfortable and I feel like I'm walking on marshmallows. I am on my feet all day long and these are great at keeping my feet from getting sore. I also like lace up shoes because they fit so great. I have a high instep/arch and I feel I these give me the support I need.

Extremely comfortable, practical, and very durable shoe. I live in New York City and I walk a lot so this shoe has been tested--again and again--and it really holds up. There was no "breaking in" period. I just put them on and they were great. They were one of my introductions to the Born line and I am very pleased! And I am always thrilled and amazed at the extraordinary service and incredible response time connected to every single Zappos order I have placed! Zappos makes ordering a snap! I cannot say enough great things about this company!!!

I ordered these shoes about a month ago. I put them on when they arrived and I have had them on every day since. The only time I wouldn't wear them was in the rain (I didn't want to get them wet, they are so pretty). Anyhow, they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I have had 3 foot surgeries and I have a recurring callous that I have to go to the podiatrist at least every other month, and when it is near the time for me to go, there is nothing I can put on my feet that doesn't hurt, but not this shoe. To my amazement I put these shoes on and it felt like I had just left the doctor's office, I can walk a mile in these shoes and it's like walking on air. I love them. The fit is perfect, the inner sole is magical and to top it off the shoe is itself beautiful. Somebody got it right! And Zappos, they are "the bomb", as always.

These shoes are wonderful. They fit perfectly. They are so comfortable that I can walk in them for hours. And I love the style: a little funky, but really practical.

The Born shoes are true to size and extremely comfortable. They look great with jeans and also work for semi casual with slacks. Felt a little narrow, but not bad.
