Customer Reviews Born Sean

Love the soft leather and cool, simple looks.

Born shoes may be the most comfortable I have ever worn, and these were no exception. Right out of the box, I wore them walking all over Europe for almost two weeks. No blisters, no rubbing/chafing, etc. Inside dries quickly. Didn't want the blue trim (black/grey would've been fine), but needed the comfort/quality of this shoe.

When you have the right fit, these are nice comfortable shoes. I ordered my typical size of 11½, even though I saw a review or two that stated they run a little big. In my case it was opposite. I exchanged the 11½ for a size 12, which fit fine. It was not the length so much as the 11½ really squeezed the front of my feet. The 12 is a little snug as well, but I am hoping that they will loosen up after they have been broken in.

Even better looking in person. Extremely comfortable. Feels pretty narrow, which isn't a problem for me. Love the leather on this (I ordered the "mink" color). Amazing order speed from Zappos as usual.

These are by far the best casual shoes that I have ever owned. They are very comfortable as if there were tiny pillows under my feet. They are way better than the stiffness of Vans shoes that I have used and the material is excellent. I have a feeling that these will not break a part on the inside like Vans shoes tend to do. They are very stylish as well. My feet measure 9½ and I got 9½ and they fit as they should. Considering that I just got them today I cannot actually say how they keep up in the long run but I am super glad that I bought these. They came with extra laces (in a different color) for if you want to change it up. From now on I will be using these shoes as the standard for style and comfort.

Great shoe, looks great with jeans. Runs about a full size too big so order smaller size. Besides that they are very comfortable shoes.

Great shoes! Light, comfortable and according to myself and others very fashionable. I'm sure I need another pair in another color! And there are so many to choose from.

Good-looking shoe, very comfortable. As usual, Born shoes run about a full size too large. Despite that and the fact that I can't find any Born smaller than an 8, I'm pretty happy with these shoes.

I have used these shoes only for about three hours or so. They are so comfortable, elegant and my feet do not get tired. I only hope they lower prices so I can buy more. Thank you.

Have you ever noticed that real intelligent people always wear comfortable shoes. This is one of those shoes! It's true to size and width, as soon as you break in the pillow inter sole. I find it has a low heel pocket which gives it that more natural feel and the whole shoe looks good broken in. It has become my everyday shoe! Good job Born.

Nice looking shoe, but seems to run quite tight and short. I've enjoyed other Borns that are very similar in design and sole, and ordered my usual size. These feel too tight. Otherwise a nice shoe. Consider ordering up a size.

Super comfortable. These came in a day before a 3-day convention so I didn't have time to break them in. But, they didn't need it. Out of the box, these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. The grey ones can get dirty if you aren't careful, but they clean easily enough. LOVE these.

Great looking shoe. Like all Born shoes, insanely comfortable. My only complaint about Borns is they always seem to have a wide appearance on the foot, however, these shoes have a very narrow look to them on the foot. I will definitely wear the heck out of these super comfortable, super stylish shoes. Color pop is all the rage!

Happy feet. Wherever we go and mostly, whatever we do, happy feet do it better. So I was pleasantly surprised as my Born test works out so nicely. If this style appeals to you and it does to me, the quality of their shoe, now my shoe, is the icing on the cake. No width trouble for my wide feet. Sizing is true, I'm all smiles.

These are nice looking shoes, and they're comfortable enough. However, I don't find them to be particularly supportive. They're fine for kicking around for errands and such, but I can't imagine they'd be very good for much more than that. The heel counter has nothing, it smushes down rather easily. On the basis of the looks I'd give these shoes a 3.5.

These are very comfortable shoes. One reviewer made the comment of pillows under your feet, I concur. They are stylish, too. The only minor issue is that they are a tad warm.

My husband really wanted these to be the perfect shoes for him! He found these extremely stylish for casual use, and the padding around the back of the foot and tendon was comfortable. The size was just right as well. However, two things about these shoes eventually pushed him towards a different selection. The Born logo on the inside of the shoe where his heel goes was uncomfortable and he just couldn't get past it as much as he wanted to. The other thing he didn't like about the shoe was the feeling that his heel wasn't level with the rest of his foot, but lower then his toes. I'm not sure if that's actually the case or not, but it's how it felt to him. Your mileage may vary.

These are comfortable, and very basic. Nobody has said anything to me about them. Usually, I'll get compliments on new shoes. I have one complaint: the laces are too short. I have to work really hard to tie a double knot (the way most people tie all shoes).

Ordered 3 pair, returned 2. These don't have removable foot bed so be forewarned if you use orthotics. I wear 10.5...I had to tear out the footbed and put my Aetrex in just to be comfortable. Probably should have gotten size 11. Still very little support. It's an individual thing...try them yourselves. Style is great and good construction. Guess I'll stick to Keen.

These are my first pair of Born shoes and can certainly say that I will be buying Mrs. and the future. Besides the quality of the shoe, it is one of the most comfortable shoes I have worn.

With these shoes, I was hoping for a little more casual Oxford-substitute, and a little less sneaker, but sneaker is what I got. These are Born sneakers. Period. With jeans, they look barely better than a pair of Vans or other quasi-athletic shoes. In other words, if you're looking to wear them to work, forget it, unless you're just looking for a sneaker stand-in. Comfort-wise, they're exceptional. I was very impressed with how soft they were, and they seemed well-constructed also (refreshing, as I felt like Born's quality has slipped over the years).

Nice looking shoe, but runs very narrow, also no arch support. Well, its a sneaker so I guess that's to be expected. Had to return.

I really like the off-beat looks of this shoe, probably not appreciated from only the photos. Comments range from 'bowling shoes' to 'leather Converse All Stars.' The insides are incredibly cushy, to the point of making them initially feel too small. The extensive padding will probably make them too hot to wear during the summer. The only real downside is they scuff incredibly easily. I do wonder how long the very odd laces will hold up, as well.
