Customer Reviews Born Julianne

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. :)

I really like this shoe. It does seem to run a little big. I am a 9 usually. I am going to send back and get an 8.5 and hope it works. Lovely shoe and very comfortable.

I ordered black and pewter. Having to return pewter b/c they are much more tan/brown that I wanted. But I love the black ones. They are extremely comfortable. I usually wear a 9.5 or 10, and the 9.5 fit perfectly.

I am an educator, thus on my feet all day long. I have been a longterm Born fan, and the Juliannes didn't disappoint. I first bought a pair in black as I needed to replace a pair of black flats. They were super comfortable, and they absorb the impact of constant walking, climbing stairs, etc. that I have to do. I have a narrow heel, so I'm used to my foot slipping out of shoes because I can rarely find shoes that are narrow enough while also being comfortable. I find the my foot fits nicely, and my heel doesn't slip out because of the elastic trim. I bought another pair this past weekend because I wanted another color. I bought the pewter. Only argument here is that the pewter is much more brown in color than the picture depicts. I thought it would be a solid grey/silver pewter. Oh well, I'm keeping them because they're just so comfortable!

I love these flats. I wear Danskos at work, and I'm used to a lot of support. As a result, most ballet flats I find to be very uncomfortable. These are the first ballet flats I've been able to wear with any level of comfort. The leather felt very soft and comfortable from the moment I put them on. I bought the Crodino (orange) and it's a really pretty, soft, neutral shade. Another thing that I usually don't like about ballet flats is that they rub against my achilles tendon, just above my heel, and make a blister. Not a problem with these. Also, I know some women really hate "toe cleavage", and my toes are completely covered in these shoes.

IN LOVE! I have never been a fan of flats! I found them uncomfortable and awkward to walk in. I love these so much right out of the box, I am going to order another pair. Outstanding shoe, and so comfortable. True to size. I usually wear an 8 1/2 or 9. The 9s were too big. I do usually wear an 8 1/2 in Born shoes.

I bought these in blue and pewter. I love the blue color but the pewter was a lot shinier than I expected. They are very comfortable and I will order in other colors!
