Customer Reviews Born Adele

These shoes are a dream! The sizing was perfect and the minute you put them on you feel like you could walk for miles in comfort!

I just got an email from Zappos telling me I can still order another pair of these shoes, since I ordered my black leather pair a year ago. I thought, "Why would I need a new pair? They're still great!" I wear them most days to work, and they have stood up well. Twice they've started looking kind of dull and "blue" with wear, but they polish up beautifully. I have sprinted in them to catch buses and trekked for miles around the city; no blisters, because the leather uppers breathe, and good support because of the partial steel shank running from heel to the ball of the foot. It's true that after a year, the leather is pretty stretched out. Sometimes when I'm running for a bus they go flying off my feet. (I wear between an 8.5 and a 9; these 8.5s were perfect at first but are now pretty large.) But since they are well made and leather, I expect a cobbler can tighten them back up for me. Overall, a fantastic value in shades of leather that can be polished to restore the finish; in other materials it is still a good quality shoe but might not have quite the same longevity.

A comfy flat with room in the toe box and more arch support than most flats. The throat sits back just far enough that it's comfortable even with my bunions, but it's still a stylish and cute shoe (the edge of the throat of other flats sits right on my bunions and is painful). I justed ordered a 2nd pair in another color, which I don't do very often.

These shoes are great! I have feet that are difficult to fit, and I stand a lot for work, and my feet never hurt in these shoes. I'm tempted to buy many more colors.

I wear between 6.5 and 7 in all my shoes. I got a 6.5 in this, but ended up needing a 7. The 7 in black was not available. Too bad. Really cute shoe.

Lovely shoe, but too narrow in the toe box and slightly too short. Feels half size too small... Usually I'm a solid 8B, but will try the 8 1/2. Born historically fits me very well out of the box!

So comfy. Looks great with skirts, dresses and slacks and jeans. Capri's too!

Trademark Born padded inside with soft leather made this shoe break in immediately. Be sure to weather-proof them, as the pretty red will be ruined the moment you get caught in the rain.

Beautiful, comfortable shoe! A great purchase - I highly recommend these shoes by Born.

Cute shoe, very comfortable but runs a little large. I normally wear 8 or 8.5 but this still runs large for me. I'm afraid that I have to return and look for half a size smaller.

These shoes are very comfortable once you break them in. I did get blisters for the first week or so, though. They are conservative black shoes. I wear them to work and that's pretty much it since they are very plain. But that's exactly what I bought them for, so I am pleased with my purchase.

I was a little nervous when I first got these because the stiff leather at the toes and heels seemed like blisters would be inevitable. Much to my surprise after a day of breaking-in the leather softened up and I've been able to wear them without blisters! They are more structured than your average ballet flat, providing better arch support, and the detailing on the toe makes them great for everyday and formal wear.

These are cute flats! The leather is super-soft and just off white. They felt wide on my narrow foot, but I added an insole and it took up the extra space. These are possibly the most comfortable ballet flat that I have ever tried!

On the whole, these shoes are really comfortable, but the edge of the top of the shoe isn't super forgiving and tends to dig into my foot a little. I do love copper shoes and they go with a lot!

These are really cute and comfortable but run large. I wear a 7 1/2 but will be returning them to get a 7.

These are great - except for the fact that they fall apart very easily. In the past year I have been through 3 pairs - all replaced in like 3-4 months, where the soles and upper were coming apart. Besides that - they are extremely comfortable and very cute.

So weird -- most of the reviews I read said that they felt a little large. I felt the complete opposite! I usually wear an 8.5 or a 9. I ordered a 9 and they were uncomfortably small. They are cute but a little schoolmarm-y. I might order up and see how I feel about the style after.

One word: OUCH! I couldn't wait to take these shoes off! Ordered my normal size. Really narrow shoe. Blisters on top of my big toe and on heels. I don't think that ordering a half size bigger will help. Sadly, these will be going back.

I am in love with this shoe! I took it out of the box and wore it to work and it was as comfortable as if it were a worn in pair! It is stylish and comfortable. I originally found this by searching for blue shoes - so I didn't notice how many colors it came in - now I want it in all the colors! Just have to wait for them to stock more 11s! This is definitely a find - really well made and cute!

Nice leather but runs a full size larger than normal. Cute, but going back.

Love these shoes. I bought them because I'm going on a cruise and plan on lots of shore excursions, I needed comfortable shoes. These are the best!

This is the second pair of these shoes I ordered. I wore them to work for the first time and I noticed the shoes were different. Same shoe, same size, supposed to be the same color, but one was darker than the other, and they were shaped different. I contacted Zappos Customer service via e-mail, and by the next day I had an email that another pair and a return label were on the way! The replacement pair are perfect!

I love these shoes! They're much more comfortable than most flats. I've ordered another pair in another color. The price is a bit high, but I know I'll get a lot of use out of them!

I really love this flat it cute and comfortable. I wore these on a trip to New Orleans, I was looking for a cute shoe that I could walk comfortably in for hours. We explored the Garden District, Historic Cemeteries, French Quarter Fest. I wore these shoes everywhere! If you are familiar with New Orleans, you know that the sidewalks can be extremely uneven, so flats are highly recommended. I even left my tennis shoes at home. I paired these with walking shorts, capris and skirts.

I love these shoes. I have two pair in different colors. They are comfortable, easy to slip on, but always look nice.
