These are beautiful flats - I ordered the light blue - but I have to return them. They are a little too narrow across the toe joint for me, but my foot is wider there. I normally wear a 7 either medium or wide. Wish these came in a wide version!

Slip Them On, You Take Off! Bought these sensible black ones after loving my adorable blue ones. (Doesn't every gal need a pair of plain black flats in the closet?) I love all the colors and I was sorely tempted to buy them in every color. They are SO comfortable: not a single blister after slipping them on and dancing for hours the very 1st time I wore them. Being of such supple leather I don't expect them to hold up for long but they are worth every penny.

These shoes feel like slippers! So comfortable, I ordered 2 more pair...basic black and pale blue. I wear 7 1/2, felt true to size. No complaints here!

These shoes are very comfortable. I bought them for my daughter, who is required to wear black flat shoes to work. This is her second pair. She says they are her favorite for her job.

Many thanks to the person whose review mentioned accommodating a bunion. Julianne is soft as a kitten and molds around the bump on my foot making these flats my most comfortable shoes. I like the simple unadorned style. Mine are off white and have slight grey/tan cast to them.
My usual size is 10, but Born's 9 1/2 are a perfect fit. They are well constructed and have a good griping sole. Nice padded insole.

THE BEST FLATS! I was looking for a pair of nude flats for commuting. These are so comfortable and cute that I ended up wearing them all day. They have great arch support, good padding, and plenty of room in the toe box. I have wide feet and the medium fit perfectly, so I'm guessing if you have narrow feet that these wouldn't work for you. The leather is supple and the cut is high enough so there's no toe cleavage. They look and feel like much more expensive shoes. I'm buying a pair in black now, too.

I wanted a pair of shoes that were easy, good looking and with a good sole. The color is very soft, the shoe is ear comfy and I love them. Probably will buy another pair in the near future. Oh, and I love Zappos!

I did it again...I bought another pair of these shoes. I love these shoes. They are absolutely the best flat shoes I have ever purchased. They are so comfortable and stylish...they look great on. I now have the Tan & the Petunia color along with two pairs of black ones.

I looked everywhere for basic black flats with arch support and I am so happy that I found these. They are super comfortable and I love that they can be dressed up or down. They also do not tear up my heels or give me blisters like my other flats do. I am also really picky about toe cleavage showing and these only show the slightest amount (not noticeable at all). Such a nice basic staple item!

These shoes are by far the best shoes I've ever owned. No exaggeration. They are very cute, high quality, and so comfortable! I wear a size 11 so usually flats look like barges on my feet. I'm shocked at how cute these look. I'm now saving up for a few more pairs in different colors. The shoe was a little big and roomy for my, but I sprayed it down with water and let it dry. The next day it hugged my feet like gloves. They were perfect right out of the box! They are dressy and casual and I recommend buying several pair if you have the luxury to afford it.

Love these! I have a narrow foot, but these M width fits fine and hugs heel, too! Truly comfortable, even without nylons. Put them on earlier today when I opened the shipment and haven't taken them off yet! Ordered 2 more pairs in different colors!

A great shoe for everyday, work, and even dressier occasions. I ordered a half size up as others suggested. They are very comfortable and I had no issues with breaking them in. I do wish the edging around the top was leather instead of fabric just to make them a little fancier, but that's what heels are for, right? Overall, I love them and would recommend them to anyone looking for a versatile flat with good support and comfort.

I'm very happy with this shoe, which isn't easy for me because of issues I have with my feet! First, I want to say it's a very pretty flat and the leather is very soft! I wear a size 8 and because of bunions on both my feet, I sometimes have to order 8W and then the shoe is to wide in the back and fits the front of my foot, but with this shoe, I ordered a 8M and it fit perfectly...I was able to wear it and feel comfortable right out of the box. I ordered the Crodino color and their very nice, will go with dress pants or jeans, would recommend to family & friends!

I never like to spend a lot on shoes, especially flats, and I have a second toe which is too long, so it's really hard to find comfortable flats, and I have to write in and say I love these shoes. So cute, so true to size, so comfortable that even though I don't usually spend this much on a flat, I'm ordering in 2 more colors. Get them!

Loved the color; Light Blue! The shoe itself is a little plain but it is super comfortable. I received them yesterday and wore them today. I wear an 11 and have trouble with flats causing pain on the top of my foot. Because of the elastic band around the shoe, it softens the impact and doesn't hurt for me. Also, because they are Born's very well made!

I ordered these shoes because I have other Born shoes and have found this brand to be the most comfortable shoes for my feet. I have spent so much on expensive shoes when, in the end, these shoes are the best.
The Julianne is very nice because it is simple. I love the color, kind of a mottled gold-tone. It has, as my other Born shoes have, arch support and a cushy foot bed. Great shoes!

These shoes are darling! Not only are they cute-as-a-button, but so far they have been pretty comfortable. These little cuties pair wonderfully with just about anything, skirts, capris, jeans, shorts, and dresses. As far as sizing goes they were spot on...or at least they were for me. I ordered a 9 (my usual size) and they fit perfectly right out of the box with no break in time. Overall I am beyond pleased with these shoes and would recommend them to anyone considering the Born Julianne.

I have tired quite a few pair of flats because I have an issue with the ball of my foot by my big time. It usually feels cutoff but not with these shoes. These are flexible and cute. The material has a lot of give which is great. I normally wear a 7 but ordered a 6.5 in these. I think they might stretch even more and do squeak a bit but not too bad.I may even order another pair so I have backups for next year.

For a ballet type flat these are quite comfortable. I wore them for the very first time on a business trip and they were great. I ordered the orange color and they are very cute, even my husband commented on them.

This flat is adorable and comfy. I wear an 11 and I thought it ran true to size. They have a little cushioning inside the shoe,the leather is super soft and the sole is totally flexible. They do not, however, have any support. They are very comfortable to walk in but feel a little more like a slipper than a shoe. I don't think I would pick them for a long day pounding the pavement but they are absolutely perfect for a night on the town or just kicking around during the day. And did I mention they are cute as can be and look fantastic on? I liked my gold ones so much, I bought a second color just a few days later!

Cute, simple, and comfy ballet flat. Like every pair of Borns I own, these are ready to wear with no breaking in needed. The leather is soft and pretty. I've received many compliments on these.

Just perfect! I followed the other reviewers suggestions and ordered a half a size smaller and it fit just right. The color is a very mellow tangerine. The leather is like butter, no break in time required. They are just the perfect summer shoe for me!

I have been searching for a pair of black flats for more than a month now and this is the fifth shoe in a row I've purchased from Zappos (I have returned all of the others because they were either hideous or painful to wear). I think we finally have a winner! Aesthetically, this shoe is not going to light your world on fire and there's nothing particularly interesting or super trendy about them but as a simple black flat, they are completely adequate and attractive enough. More importantly, they are COMFORTABLE. They don't eat your heels alive like so many other flats. There is a little bit of extra fabric on the heel of the shoe that prevents that razor-blade effect you see on so many other flats. This is HUGE. I can't overstate it enough. A flat that doesn't rip the flesh off your heel? I'm tempted to buy a pair in every color! Also, they actually have a bit of arch support, which again is almost unheard of in the ballet flat market. Very very pleased! As for sizing, I would agree with some of the other reviewers that these run very slightly large. I am usually between a 6 and a 6.5 and ordered the 6 in these and they fit perfectly. So if you are in doubt, order the smaller size.

These are awesome, I searched everywhere for a pair of really comfortable black flats. I probably tried on 100's of flats only to find that most of them hurt my feet, weren't flexible, were too "sticky" (leather and sweaty bare feet are not a good combination) or were just plain ugly. These are (almost) perfect! They are soft, flexible, aren't leather inside, but a soft fabric, molded to my feet instantly and I can literally walk all day in them and not need to rip them off my feet when I get home. My only complaint is that they don't have good "toe cleavage," which make flats look a little more sexy, but they are close enough that I finally ended my multiple month long search for a good pair of comfortable black flats...these are awesome.

I have been in search of the perfect flat since giving up heels after a surgery a couple of years ago. I have spent thousands on shoes that were way too flimsy, way too stiff or had no support. I have finally found the perfect flat! These are worth the price and are great quality -- the leather is soft but a nice weight, the insole provides just the right amount of cushion. I highly recommend them. And of course, Zappos is the best place to get 'em!
