Perfect - A perfect blend of cute and comfortable, right out of the box. I have owned other shoes with low backs, and they never stayed on -- most memorably on my first day at a new job when an old, low-backed shoe went flying off my foot as I climbed a staircase with my new boss. Suave. The Born Griers, however, stay on like a dream, and they are soft as walking on pillows (but with arch support). Five stars. I am a 9.5 in most shoes, but I ordered a 9 and it fits perfectly.

After reading the reviews, I purchased a half size smaller than I normally wear and these shoes have turned out to be the most comfortable of the Born shoes I’ve ever owned. And I own sandals, boots, shoes; love ‘em! I definitely recommend these shoes to anyone wanting comfort and style. VERY cute on! Zappos is awesome, too! Very fast shipping and the best exchange/return policy I’ve ever dealt with.

Almost perfect! Overall this is a great shoe. 4 stars for comfort as I'd like a little more arch support; 4 stars for look as the toes curl up just enough to look slightly odd, though this may settle down in time. As others have said, it runs 1/2 size large; I usually wear an 8.5 in Born and the 8 fits me well. Also a good fit for my wide feet (M/W width). As I have another Born shoe with comparable construction, I anticipate these will be comfortable throughout the day; I'm on my feet a lot at work. Also I'm glad to have a shoe (actually, 2 pairs -- 1 black and 1 brown) I can wear to work with no socks for warmer weather. And shockingly fast shipping!

Great comfy shoes - I commute here in DC...so I needed a sturdy shoe that will hold up over time. I've tried others Keen, Merrell, etc. but after 3 mos the soles were worn down. I received today and hopeful after 6/12 mos I will still have them.

Great shoes, but too large - I normally wear size 6 and these felt a lot large, which is why I have to return them. Otherwise, they look great and seemed super-comfortable.

Born Grier - Very, Very Comfortable! I followed everyone's advice and ordered a half size smaller. Glad I did! These shoes are like wearing slippers and are also very cute.

Too big! I think these shoes would be very comfortable, but they are way too big. Also, the heel bed is not deep and I wonder if they would slip, even if I ordered a whole size smaller. I'm going to try a different shoe instead. They are cute though!

The shoe seems like it would be comfy. However, I have to return it b/c it is a half size too big. I wear a 9 in every shoe I own and need an 8.5 possibly an 8 in these. I hope the new pair fit b/c these shoes are really cute!

Happy Born customer - Had to return the first pair - ran big - a little discomfort on either side of each foot where the strap crosses over but other than that I love this shoe. Lots of comments about how cute they are - thanks Zappos for such great service in processing the return.

Comfortable and cute - Very comfortable shoes, good to wear with pants, or skirts and capris. I have to order 1/2 size smaller.
