Customer Reviews Born Julianne

Love this shoe, comfortable right out of the box. It has more cushion than most ballet flats, but still more comfortable for shorter work days. True to size, no rubbing.

These flats are one of the best! Worth the money! I am very picky when it comes to shoes & I wanted to find a comfortable pair of flats that looked nice... I have looked everywhere and was hesitant to spend the money on these but after receiving them, I feel I may have to order more. They are made for narrow feet, which I have and regular flats would be too loose on my foot. The insoles are one of the best I've ever felt. I couldn't be more pleased with these.

These Born flats are stylish and comfortable.Born tends to run slightly on the smaller side, so I always buy the higher end of my size range, and they fit great! I wore them all week at a conference I recently attended (while pregnant) and I was glad I had chosen them!

This shoe was very comfortable when I tried it on but the pewter color I ordered looked more like a rosy brown when it arrived. Was hoping maybe I was shipped the wrong color but the style numbers match up. I'm looking for a true pewter colored flat so I'm returning these and will continue to look.

Great little shoe. Comfortable from the start. I like the cushioning and moderate arch support. (Note: I have very high arches so the arch support is probably better for those with "normal" arches.) I also have a foot that is wide-normal and the shoe fits nicely especially at the outer side of my foot where other ballet-style shoes don't come up high enough. Lots of great colors. I may be coming back for more!

These are a gorgeous deep red that acts as a neutral. Thick, soft leather, a shape and cut that is leg and foot-flattering and looks good with skirts and any type of pant leg. Nice cushioning - I'm a college professor who walks all over campus and stands all day. Might have to get the nude color too!

Bought these to wear with a dressy slacks outfit, and they work just great. I appreciate the good workmanship, high quality linings, and the little arch support -- shoes this flat rarely have any at all. They are nice and minimal, no pointy toe squeeze, no "toe cleavage."

These shoes are the best things ever made. Got mine right before a trip that involved 20km of sightseeing on foot, and got nary a blister. Super comfy, and seem to be wearing well. Now I need more colors.

I really wanted to like this shoe. It fit perfectly and was just what I needed. But - the ribbon-like edging around the opening was very rough and chafed my foot raw in the hour I wore the shoe around the house. So back it goes!

It took a lot of trial and error for me to find the perfect black ballet flat -- and this is it. Not falling off my foot, not chafing my heel -- just right! After a short break-in period, comfortable enough to walk a couple of miles in. I may eventually get them in another color!

LOVE these shoes. They're comfortable and go with everything. The finish is like a rough leather, but not quite suede. In preparation for a trip to a particularly rainy climate, I waterproofed them with the spray stuff, and they turned out great - they were a lifesaver for drizzly days!

I wear a size 6 medium and have painful bunions so it's very hard to find shoes, especially flats, that don't hurt. But these were instantly comfortable, and they don't gap when I walk. The padding inside is comfortable too. I'll probably get these in others colors.

I was looking for a comfortable and cute flat for work. I decided to try these because I have never had an uncomfortable Born shoe although I have never bought their flats. These are by far the most comfortable flats I have ever owned. I wear them every day to work and stand on my feet all day. They are soft and flexible but the support of a "hard" shoe. I also like the way the shoe comes up higher on your heel than most shoes. I've had my shoes for a few weeks and I'm trying decide what other colors I want. I love them!

I love these shoes! I have one pair in red, one in the yellow-orangey color (forget what they call it) and one in gold. They are so comfy. I have never been able to wear ballet flats without getting blisters before. The leather is so soft and molds to your foot that I can wear them all day at work without my feet getting irritated. If you get a metallic color, I found that the gold leather was not quite as soft and took a bit longer to break in. Once it did, though, very comfy as with the other leather colors. Finally, I have bunions and finding shoes that don't irritate them can be a huge challenge. If you have the same problem, here's what I found: the toe box is pretty generously sized (relative to more trendy ballet flats), and it comes up over my bunions, instead of rubbing against them. The leather stretches out nicely. I've had almost no pain with these shoes, which hardly ever happens with dress shoes.

I have looked for flats for years! These are perfect. They are comfortable, true to size and super cute!

Very comfortable and I love the peach color can mix/match with so many ensembles,but it does get dirty very easily and definitely do not wear it in the rain. The leather stains easily on this lighter version of the shoe.

These are the most comfortable flats I have ever worn in my LIFE! They are just as comfy as TOMS or sneakers. Seriously. And they look so darling and cute with everything. They have a very vintage/youthful/school girl like vibe, which I was unsure about at first, but once I tried them with all my outfits I was very pleased. I tried the 9.5 instead of my usual 10 because I read they run a little big and they fit perfectly. I highly recommend!

Oh my! I have feet that are wider in front, and narrower at the heel, so finding shoes, particularly ballet flats, that work is a terrible chore. And I tend to shy away from elastic because it always cuts into the back of my heel. These shoes, however, are perfect! I loved them so much, I bought two pairs, and am considering a third. And I don't tend to spend so much on shoes, but these are worth it. I can wear them to work to look dressier, but it feels like I'm wearing slippers. The only downside is they are very basic in style, but that also makes them very versatile. The Noche (Tan) is a perfect neutral, and the dark blue is a nice shade of blue, and will not easily be confused with black. Highly recommended!

These shoes are super comfortable. They have way more support than most flats. I kind of hate flats because I think they are unflattering, but sometimes a girl needs a practical shoe. These are definitely the ones.

Love these shoes! Beautiful color, comfortable fit and unlike some other experiences with Born that I've had, these aren't too wide. I get compliments all the time on the red "pop" that they provide.

I bought theses shoes in the orange color for a two week trip to Spain. I could not be happier with these shoes!! I wore them and did tons of walking almost every day of the trip. I experienced no rubbing and no blisters, and this is straight out of the box with no breaking in time! If I knew we would be on rough terrain one day, I'd opt for sneakers but these little flats were amazing in hilly cities, cobblestones, climbing cathedral towers, getting lost, miles and hours of walking. They are also very cute and I love the orange color. I'm home from vacation and am back on zappos to order more colors! Just as a comparison, I also had a pair of black Puma ballet flats with me (because you need black shoes), and they weren't nearly as comfortable as my Borns. I found that I could wear the Pumas for a few hours of light walking but they weren't nearly as comfortable as the Borns. The one time I wore the Pumas for heavy walking, they rubbed and I had to wear flip flops the next day because my pinky toes were still sore from the rubbing. I had no such issues with the Born Juliannes. I LOVE these shoes!

I have tried every ballet flat on Zappos. These are finally the right fit. No rubbing, comfortable out of the box. They are very true to size and leather is very soft and flexible. The styling is perfect. I love these shoes!

I ve only had the shoes for a week, but I ve worn them almost every day. They are very versatile (color is Noche tan) and look cute with jeans and skirts. The leather is soft and supple. I usually wear a 7.5 medium width (B), but elected to buy a 7 after reading reviews of the shoe (incidentally I purchased 5 Calvin Klein Dolly shoes in 7.5 and all of them fit well except 1 is too big, so maybe I m closer to a 7 anyway). The fit perfectly, like a glove. When I can afford it, I will purchase more in additional colors (I'm drawn to the light blue and red).

I usually don't take the time to write reviews either negative or positive. But, these shoes are wonderful right out of the box! I'm going to wear them around for the rest of the day just in case. I can no longer wear heels but I have been trying to find something comfortable that doesn't look like an orthopedic shoe or that that I'm going on a hike. These are of course not super dressy but will look nice with a dress or slacks--and i won't be limping the next day. I have other Born shoes which are also comfortable but look like a heavier sandal!
