Absolutely cute and very comfortable. In this style I wear half size smaller. Usually get 8, but needed 7 1/2. I am on my feet all day at a retail store and my back, legs, and bottom of feet didn’t have any pain. This shoe doesn’t require break in time. Put on and go. The only color is a rich looking brown. The croc design is well done. I do hope they add colors... like a sweet red. The more you wear it the better it looks.

I wanted to try a pair of clog type shoes. I knew from past experience that Born shoes are comfortable ... so, I took the plunge and bought them. Without a doubt, they have become my favorite shoes! They are comfortable from the minute I put them on, until I take them off late at night. I only wish they came in other colors!

The search is over! I very much wanted a pair of clogs, so I tried Dansko. I ordered them in two different sizes, neither size fit properly; they were uncomfortable and extremely wide (even in a normal width) and when I tried to walk in them I toppled over and came close to twisting my ankle. Thank goodness for Zappos; they went back instantly. Then I found the Born Toby's, I just received them, put them on and am never taking them off. You don't feel the height in them, you foot does not wobble, feels very secure, the fit is perfect and they look lots nicer. What more can you ask for? They're great! Thanks Born and thanks Zappos!

I love these shoes. At first they felt a bit snug, but I have a wide foot. They stretched to fit my foot in a couple of wearings. The arch support is moderate so I added an insert for extra support. I have to say that I have never owned a better pair of shoes. These just do it all. They look great with jeans or casual slacks. They are comfortable to walk in for hours. They are durable and long lasting. I've put many walking miles on mine because I take frequent 4-5 day vacations where we do a lot of sightseeing on foot. These go from airport security to metro-rail to the museum and then out to dinner.

Zappos is awesome. I got the shoes in perfect shape and just as I had desired. The shoes themselves can't be beat, but the service made it doubly nice. It is nice to feel valued.

I love the Born brand. I think they are the best. These particular shoes were too tight on the right foot, and I have narrow feet. The bottom of the shoes are very slippery on smooth surfaces. The bottoms feel like they are made of a hard plastic. It is a super cute look, but I'm returning them. I don't recommend these shoes. I bought the brown ones.

These are the most comfortable shoe that I've ever worn. I've always loved the look and feel of clogs, minus the flip-flop feel. I want to order the same style in a dark brown Croc pattern. I ordered a 1/2 size down. I'm usually a size 9 1/2, because I had tried them on in a store previous to my purchase at Zappos. In time they will stretch to the shape of your foot. They look great with jeans, work pants and skirts. This is the perfect height without enduring the pain of the stiletto ankle-breakers. Comfort over the latest fads? Give me comfort any day! Enjoy!

This shoe is super comfortable! I have no foot issues but I have back problems, so I need a good shoe. This shoe does not tilt you in any direction allowing the spine to stay neutral while it cushions and supports your foot. Well made, with good traction. They look as pictured, not clunky at all. A real pleasure to wear! Thanks for such great service Zappos!

I just received these shoes. Wonderful purchase, very comfortable. I ordered a size 9 and they were just right, that is the size I wear. Lovely shoes for jeans, I ordered the Brown. They are just what I wanted. The brown is very dark like I like. These shoes are very light. If anyone has any sort of a problem with their feet or knees, these will be perfect. I have problems with my knees and I have to wear a lightweight shoe, and this is the one. Just like all the other testimonials, I like to read and see what they have to say before a make my purchase and they were right. These shoes are wonderful, and Zappos you are the best. I ordered these shoes Saturday night; they were here Monday. What more can you ask for? Wonderful service and the selection is just fabulous. I love Zappos the best. I hate going to the mall and trying shoes on. Sometimes the service is horrible and I would much rather try them on at home and if you don't like them, you can return them at no charge. What more could anyone ask for? Well, I am very satisfied and if you order these shoes, you will not be disappointed I am sure. Good luck shopping at Zappos. You can find just about anything you want here. Love Zappos .

These are the best shoes I have worn. They are a little big but adding a shoe liner makes them perfect. I like the heel - not too low, but not too high.

This a wonderful and comfortable everyday shoe. However, it does seem to run big and stretch out with wear. If you on the fence between two sizes, I would go with the smaller size.

Awesome shoe; very comfortable and stable. I love the look of the Danksos, but they were too hard for my feet. These are perfect; the look and comfort I wanted all in one shoe. True to size for me.

Love these shoes! They are very comfortable. The only thing is that my foot is a 10 and a little narrow; they don't bother me, but they are a little looser than I'd like. Nothing a thicker sock doesn't take care of. I can wear these with anything and anywhere, love them!

I have a medium to wide foot with high arches. This shoe has good arch support and looks great. I'm writing this after a month and they stretched and are a little too loose now. I would go for tight at the beginning. Happy shoe hunting to you all. Zappos does rule.

This is my second pair of Born shoes and I am so pleased with them. They required very little breaking in time and are so lightweight and comfortable. As other reviewers have said, they are less clunky than a Dansko clog, more sleek and fitted. I like that these give me a couple of inches of height but have a platform so there\'s not too much of a slope between heel and toe. My usual size, 7.5 M, is a very comfortable fit with socks. The cushioned padding is wonderful. I ordered the brown color, and it\'s darker in reality than in the pics, a nice neutral that goes with everything. Zappos got these to me in under 24 hours!

Born Toby looks a lot like Dansko's professional clog, many of which have taken up residence in my closet in the past couple of years. And while I like and still wear Danskos, the Born Toby is a vast improvement. For one thing, and it isn't obvious from the picture, they are less clunky. The whole shoe is lighter, the footbed more forgiving, and the leather more supple. It has a heel, but when I'm wearing these clogs, I don't feel like I'm clomping around on a heavy, stiff platform as I sometimes do when I'm wearing Danskos. They're also really comfy, almost like wearing a slipper.

True to size and width. I have the worst feet on earth including nerve damage in my left foot and these are so comfortable right out of the box. I think Born shoes must be made by magic elves or something. These are really cute and will look great with everything. A little bit of height is nice, too. Zappos rocks!

I just got these clogs, and all I can say is "aaahhh." My poor bunion-y feet have been suffering so much since I was overly ambitious traipsing around Paris. I am only 46 and now the podiatrist says I have developed arthritis from abusing my feet on the hard cobblestones and marble many many miles a day! But when I put these clogs on today, my feet smiled and said "Thank you!" True to size, I ordered my usual 6.5 and they feel perfect with thin socks right out of the box. I wish I had been wearing these around Paris, instead of trying to look cute in little flats and Converse. I don't know how the French girls manage it, must be genetic. If you wish you could wear sneakers all day, these might feel even better.

I bought these to replace my Danskos, which after a lot of wear, finally fell apart. It's interesting that some reviews say they run small and others say too large. I usually wear a 7.5, but I had to get an 8, because the 7.5 arch was too snug and so was the width. The 8 was even a little hard to get on, but two days later, I can pretty much step into them, and the arch is almost where it needs to be. It's very comfortable overall -- but beware that the shoe leaves red scuff marks on linoleum floors.

I had to send these back and reorder in a 9. I always wear a 9.5 or even a 10. I love the look of the leather and the distressed pattern. They are beautiful, and I imagine quite comfortable in the correct size.

Zappos.com is wonderful. From shipping to returning, there has never been a problem with the six orders I've placed. The Born Toby shoe is comfortable...now. I originally ordered my size of 7.5 US, but had to return them for a size 8/39 because they were too tight and not long enough. So, I think they run small and narrow. The first few days, the size 8 seemed snug, but they have since broken in wonderfully. With my busy life, the top toe area has scuffed and doesn't look as new only 3 week later. A cobbler has told me that a $5 cream can solve the problem and make the current scuffing unnoticeable. So, all in all, I would recommend the Born Toby shoe if you're going to treat them with leather cream. Probably any leather shoe would have this problem, so I wouldn't fault the Born product.

These are very comfortable, but the burgundy has a weird purple hue. They are going back.

Super comfortable but the heel cup is loose for the size. They are snug over the arch, so I don't think I could have gone a size smaller. Otherwise the clog is very cute and, if the heel didn't slip, I could walk in these all day.

Fits half size too large like most other reviews have indicated. I re-ordered a half size smaller and fits great, but this particular leather is very unattractive and worn looking. I am exchanging for a different leather option.

They aren't the best looking shoes but I love Born and wear the Toby style for commuting to work on the train. I replaced my old Tobys recently and got the brushed brown and black pair. The brown Tobys are very comfortable but the black Tobys not so much. I put the black ones on for yesterday and noticed the sole split completely in half across the ball of my foot. Don't ask me how it happened. I'm going to go out of my Born comfort zone to replace the black Tobys with another brand I guess.
