Customer Reviews Born Julianne

I love these shoes! I have bunnions on both of my flat feet, so comfort comes first, but they are also cute and nuetral and go with lots of casual wear. I wore these while walking miles and miles all over Paris. They are soft snd roomy in the toe box, with support in the arch. On my second pair!

These flats are surprisingly comfortable! I appreciate the arch support, and the cushioned heel and sole. At first the left shoe felt a bit tight in the toe box (bunion issues), but after 2-3 minutes, it was just fine. The right shoe shows a little scuffing at the toe, but nothing that a tiny bit of black shoe polish won't fix. The heel with its raised tab at the back is soft and flexible, so I don't think there will be any chafing or rubbing - hurrah! Lovely to receive exactly what was described.

I live in San Francisco and walk everywhere, not only are these flats cute as heck but they also don't tear up my feet after a long day. I want them in every color now, so far I have red and black and adore them so much.

Love this shoe! I have a very narrow foot so runs a bit narrow which I love -- no gapping! The color is a great neutral and it is very supportive compared to other ballet flats!

Very comfortable shoes that don't need breaking in. They replaced my sneakers that I wore commuting to and from work and I am very happy!

These, without a doubt, are the most comfortable pair of flats I have ever owned. They have extra cushion and arch support, and feel like slippers! I have a wide toe box and it is hard for me to find shoes that fit and are fashionable. I wear these with skinny jeans on the weekend, and skinny pants for work. Very cute.

Wow, these are a gorgeous color! But note that the Petunia Purple is really purple, not the pinkish color that it looks like on the website. It is beautiful though. I've been a Born fan for awhile, as their shoes are such great quality and very comfortable for flats. These are even better than my other pairs, as they seem to have a little more support to them. They are large though. I am usually between a 6.5 and a 7, and the 6.5 were definitely too big. I'm returning for a size 6, fingers crossed those fit well!

100% pleased! These are incredibly comfortable. I can walk endless city block in them with no adverse effect on my knees, feet, etc. The 3 stars for "style" are just because they are only flats -- nothing extraordinary about those, but a wardrobe staple.

I love these shoes, they fit perfect and so comfortable! I ordered the Orange, it's more like a burnt orange, I like them so much I ordered the light blue. I haven't received them yet, but I know they will be awesome! These shoes will spoil you for sure!

In my new role as "comfort shoe" wearer, I have been trying out a number of different ones, hoping to find something not too stodgy, yet, not crippling. These shoes are high on the comfort scale, and accommodated my odd-shaped feet. But they are stodgy. The leather does look kind of cheap (as others have noted). So, back they go. I am going to try another style by the same manufacturer. I hope they are lower on the stodgy meter.

I felt that this shoe felt smaller than it was described. I wear a 6.5 wide, and these did not feel like they were that size.

Even though I consistently wear a 7.5 M width this shoe was way too short. The toe box also felt cramped. It was a cute shoe but I had to return it. I’ve experienced other Born styles being similarly too short and cramped.

This shoe was a bit tight. It eventually molded to the shape of my foot after I broke them in and they are very confortable.

Had to return my usual 8.5 M and go up to a size 9 M, which very rarely happens. The 8.5s were so tight, I could barely get them on. On the plus side, the size 9 did the trick. The shoe is a very basic style, and while on the one hand I wish it was a little more snazzy, it should be very versatile for different outfits/occasions.

Here is what I like about the shoes: they are simple and complement most any outfit which is why I bought them. They are comfortable. They are ballet flats so if you’re looking for arch support or sturdiness, look elsewhere. They do not show any toe cleavage which is extremely important to me. I wear flats with no-show socks (because feet are disgusting). They work well with those socks also. The only small, tiny drawback I would have, which is why I rated it down, is that the sides ride a bit low on my feet. I am a wide width so my Fred Flintstone stompers could be to blame here. Overall, a good shoe.

These shoes are for fun, I would not wear them for a day of walking, but they're really cute. The toe is very round and there is very little give in the bed, so be sure to order accordingly.

This is my third pair of Julianne flats. The leather on these is not nearly as soft as the last two were, but I am keeping them and hoping they eventually soften so they are more comfortable. Otherwise, they are fine.

Was looking for a classic brown ballet flat that I could wear every day. Unfortunately, the longer I kept these, the less I was able to break them in. I've worn them several times to work (maybe a dozen), but still haven't gotten to the point of reaching for them in the mornings. The back digs into my heel just enough to skip over them when selecting a shoe for the day. Will be donating them to Goodwill.

My feet measure 25.5 cm long & 4.2cm wide. 9.5W shoe was both too long and too narrow. Well made and lovely leather though.

No real support, but very cute. You can add insert, but I thought they were too expensive to have to make alterations.

These are nice looking and very comfortable. I have the grey and the mid brown. My two critiques would be that the grey is much lighter than the photo shows, and the shoes do take some maintenance. I had purchased these previously and they didn't last long due to road salt damage to the leather, and the non-removable fabric footbed getting stinky (I don't wear socks). They are very comfortable though! So I tried again, but now, when they get dirty, I use saddle soap to clean them, then apply protectant after that. I also use terry cloth liners, and put bamboo and charcoal deodorizing bags in when not in use.

I wish these came is a summery material, or at least summer colors. I only wear flats barefoot and so mostly in spring and summer. But these dark brown and black leathers seem more wintery. They used to have better colors and lighter leathers.

I have purchased two pairs of black flats. They are comfortable and the arch support is great for a flat. Overtime, the support lessens which is to be expected. The toebox is roomy and the look is flattering. I would agree with another reviewer that these shoes show wear way too early. The leather looks scuffed a few months into usage and what is worse is that they are hard to polish and spruce up. I have tried shoe leather and polish to make the shoes look good again to no avail. I saved up to buy my second pair which I use in the office and wear the old pair to and from my car, especially in bad weather. I wish there were other vibrant colors. I like the style but there is something about the leather that keeps this shoe from being a five-star.

This is a great basic flat with moderate arch support. I order, then wear them out and then reorder. I must be in my 8th pair. Very good staple for your wardrobe. More comfortable than your average flat with no cushion and no support.
