Absolutely love these shoes. I have had 2 pair of stowaways and Born is my absolute favorite shoe! These flats are very comfortable. Thick and durable, yet flexible leather. Very simple, classic earthy look. Highly recommend! I've tried so many flats. None compare to born. :)

Loved this shoe! I had purschased another color earlier. Very comfortable with great color-styles to pick from. The bonus for me was that it runs a bit wider.

These are perfect - cute, comfortable, and versatile. I cannot wait to wear them, but unfortunately the pair I bought arrived a bit scuffed. I will buy another pair when they are available.

Fabulous shoes! Very comfortable from the first minute I put them on. The leather is very soft. Cute style with unusual pattern (black/silver).

These shoes are like butter! I stand all day long, and I could wear these 24 hours a day. Soft and padded, they look good with work trousers and jeans. I might buy another pair in another color.

Very cute shoes that go well with jeans, shorts, or skirts. Not as supportive, flexible or soft as other Born flats I have, but still comfortable enough to wear for long stretches.

I've been looking for a stylish flat for months. These look great with jeans and are very comfortable. I get compliments on them every time I wear them.

This is a great little ballet flat that has an added bonus of a comfortable arch support and cushion sole. This shoe looks great with everything. If you are dashing out on errands take off those rattie looking tennis shoes and slip into this for a better look instantly.

I do love these shoes. They are about 1/2 size larger than marked, but they're totally comfortable. They remind me of the shoes that women would wear in Victorian ages, because the sole is completely exposed at the arch. It seems like they're shoes made the way shoes used to be made but with high quality leather and craftsmanship. I definitely wouldn't wear them in wet weather though!

These felt very stiff when I first put them on (which surprised me because I love Born for their comfort) but after wearing them around the house for a few hours they felt like slippers. I adore them and get compliments all the time!

I wish I could afford these in every color. Such a perfect flat - way more comfortable than other ballet flats without looking clunky or matronly.

The colors in this shoe are really beautiful. I admired this shoe in a store in Omaha but they didn't have this color. The fit is great, really comfortable. I purchased my normal size. Will look cute with jeans and capris when the vicious winter subsides! The cute little leopard bag that comes with the shoes is a great little addition. As usual Zappos service second to none.

Love this shoes! I have always felt that flats are not comfortable, they lack an arch and no matter which brand I bought I always ended up not wearing them. I had other kind of shoes from Born and love them but never thought of it for flats, and these are the ones! Good arch support, padded for comfort and sweat control in case you have that problem. Their style is classic and nothing with too much adornment, so you can pair them with any outfit.

I adore these shoes. I bought a half size smaller because they run a little big and I knew, being leather, they would stretch out. I love that they flex. It makes walking comfortable, which is usually a problem with ballet flats for me. The color and pattern are so fun; I get compliments on them all the time. Will be buying another pair.

This is a really cute shoe. It has decent arch support for a flat but less support than what is typical for Born shoes. I should not have listened to the other reviewers who found this shoe a half size too small. I ordered a half size up and have to return it for my usual size.

They're adorable, make my gigantic feet look cute, and seem comfortable and durable, although I haven't really worn them for any length of time just yet. I am very pleased!

The suede shoe came big and only got bigger. Order a half size down if you notice the same thing. Pink has been great, it does spot easily, but cleans up well enough. Only a little toe cleavage, which I like. Good summer, wear with everything shoe. I tried some Calvin Kleins and came back to the Born -- better support and style.

The leather and construction are nice on these, but I didn\'t like the bottom of these - they were slippery and there wasn\'t as much cushion as I was hoping. They do look really nice, however, and are really cute. I just needed a more substantial shoe and ended up going with a Patagonia product.

This shoe is hairstylist approved. I didn't have to wait for them to break in and my feet are in good shape after 9 or 10 hours of being on my feet. The Stowaway (in black veg) is also a great basic that goes well with almost anything. I hope they last a long time, because I like them.

I love this shoe! It's current, comfortable, and wonderful. Be sure to order a 1/2 size down, as they run a bit big!

These shoes are adorable and comfortable as well...I do think they run on the small side though. I kept them because they were only a tiny bit snug and thought that they would stretch out a bit after wearing them a few times. Honestly, if I could, I would order a 1/2 size up now. They really didn't stretch that much. I am still hoping that I will be able to wear them here and there for shorter periods of time in the summer and that they will get more broken in. Either way, I ordered the nude metallic color and they go with anything you put on so that's really great. Overall, I like them and I hope that they will eventually fit perfectly. :)

Really loved these shoes... especially the color. They’re soft and cute and comfortable. Unfortunately, there isn’t enough padding on the bottom of the shoe which I need, so I had to return them.) As for the size, I’m a size 8 (which I ordered) and they fit great. Really wish I could have kept them.
