Customer Reviews Born Julianne

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!

The color runs when wet make sure you spray them thoroughly. Other than that, these are the best ballet flats I've ever had. They fit my wide foot, they provide a little arch support, they don't slip or force my toes to grip, they don't pinch, they don't dig in or cost me any blisters. They didn't need any breaking they were comfy right out-of-the-box. And the color is cute! It really brightens up my wardrobe.

These are so truly the real deal: comfortable, versatile, well-made. Excellent arch support, no stiffness in the heel or toes. I didn't have to break them in! I have them in 3 colors and plan to purchase more. They go with jeans, slacks, and casual dresses. Some reviews say they run large, but I didn't find that to be true. My regular size fits great. These are the flats to beat!

Best ballet flats I own. So simple and cute, and with arch support. The pewter leather is beautiful. I wear these more than any other shoes I own.

Very comfortable flat. Practical for work, where I am on my feet a good portion of the day. I do use a heel liner with these shoes (and all my ballet flats). I think some of the colors could be cuter, but I like the blue.

I love these. I own them in black, red and tan. I did find that the tan ones ran a half size too big for some reason while the other two colors were perfect. I own many pairs of Born flats, and these are the most comfortable ones.

These are my favorite go to's for when I wear blue. Zappos made them even better with their one day turn around time for shipping. Customer service is a pleasure!

These are lovely shoes -- simple, pretty and comfortable enough for all day wear. The leather is soft and there is surprisingly good cushioning given how light they are. The orange is very attractive and, as another reviewer noted, works as a neutral. I have worn them happily with dresses and with "skinny" jeans. I am thinking about ordering them in blue as well.

I wanted neutral and plain. That's just what I got. The color (Tan) is light, almost flesh toned. They're very comfortable.

Good comfortable, basic tan flats. Wish the color was a bit lighter but will keep them anyway. Based on the reviews I ordered 2 sizes but my regular size fit great!

These flats are exceptionally comfortable. Most importantly for me, they don't rub at the heel. There is a small interior seam that overlaps with my pinkie toes, which rubbed at first until my feet got used to it. The footbed is comfortable, well designed, and is shaped to add a little more height at the arch, but the padding is relatively minimal. This is the second pair of Born Juliannes I've purchased. They do show water marks, so I'd recommend getting the leather waterproofed.

I have looked for years for ballet shoes that are good for walking. I log about five miles a day and I am on my feet all day teaching. These shoes were great (and blister free) right out of the box! the blue is a great neutral. I hope Born comes out with some interesting colors for Fall.

This is everything I was looking for in a flat and I'm delighted with it. NB, however, that the "pewter" color is really closer to copper -- in person it's a metallic brownish-purple. It's still a versatile neutral, which is what I wanted, but if you're specifically looking for a silvery shoe you'll be disappointed.

These shoes are great right out of the box! They are not stiff at all and the arch support really allows me to wear them all day without my feet feeling tired.

I am happy with this pair -- super light, comfy and cute looking. It felt true to size too and I was able to walk all days on the first day with these shoes. Highly recommended!

Love this shoe! Runs big. Order half size down. I normally wear a 7, ordered a 6.5 and it fit perfect! Very comfortable especially in the arch. No rubbing on the ankle which is usually a problem with flats.

Very comfortable flat with a very small heel that doesn't rub or cause blisters. Good for workday and casual.

These are extremely comfortable. They feel like slippers. They run generously and can accommodate one foot being slightly smaller than the other.

The sky blue color of these shoes works well with many outfits. I didn't realize I would love these flats as much as I do. They are worth the price. I can walk for miles and miles and they still feel comfortable and don't rub.

BEST flats EVER! My feet are not extremely wide, nor do I have a strange arch, but flats always rub my feet the wrong way. Either in the back, my little toe or the bone that's above my big toe. Not these shoes! They fit and feel great!! I've been walking in them all day and have no complaints at all. And they're super cute. :)
