I was in the market for a mid-heel black boot - specifically something I could wear all day. I ordered these in addition to a few others to try. I ended up keeping the Clarks Enfield Tess, but these were a close 2nd. Likes: very comfortable in the cushioned footbed compared to most boots. However the Clarks were even more cushioning. Heel height was perfect. Overall style looked more expensive than boot at this price and was very versatile. Cons: Was not quite as cushioned as the Clarks. The leather is a very shiny and mostly stiff leather (it does show true in the pictures here) and I was hoping for something a little less shiny. Overall, if I had not found the Enfield Tess, I would have kept these and been happy.

These boots are awesome. The leather is extremely soft, they're comfortable, and very stylish. I was amazed by how comfortable they were right out of the box. The leather hugs my feet and the heel feels like no heel at all. The height is so comfortable, I can wear these all day without any discomfort. I wear size 8.5 M and have a bunion on one foot; consequently, it's difficult to find a stylish comfortable shoe. Absolutely no discomfort with a medium. What a find!

Loved the style and fit. This shoe a comfortable insole. I tried on several brands and did not realize the comfort I was missing until I tried on this shoe.

Words cannot express how much I love this boot. I needed something I could dress up and dress down, that still allowed for plenty of comfort to walk and stand, and this boot definitely delivers. I have traveled through airports, taken long walks through city streets and delivered lectures while wearing this boot and it is extremely comfortable. I have a semi-wide toe box and this boot doesn't pinch or rub. I am actually considering buying the other colors just because I love this boot so much!

I love these boots. I expected comfort from Born, but they still surpassed expectations in that regard. The heel is high enough to look fairly sophisticated (in a casual way - it's definitely chunky) yet low enough to walk easily, and they look good with jeans, leggings, and skirts. I'm happy with my choice!

LOVE THESE BOOTS!!! I bought 7 different pair of similar black mid-heel boots to try. These were the most comfortable hands down. Far more comfortable than boots twice their price. Having owned these boots for a couple of months now, I am even more pleased as they have proved invaluable. Because the style is so versatile, this was the only pair of shoes I packed while traveling for a 5-day conference in San Fransisco. I wore them with skirts, slacks and jeans. I wore these to run all over the airport, to stand all day at the conference and to climb up and down the hills of SF. Not only are they comfortable for a heeled shoe, but they are more comfortable than my Uggs and even my Asics running shoes - as those both have inner seams that begin to rub if worn for too long of a period. Next to my slippers, these boots are the most comfortable shoes I own.

I love these boots. I have wide feet and have a difficult time finding comfortable shoes. They have a soft step and are really comfortable and look great. These are my new go to work boots! They are nice quality!

I have been wearing these boots for a couple of weeks now and I love them! I am a teacher and on my feet all day. They are very comfortable and good looking. The size was true so no return necessary.

These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever bought! No breaking into necessary! I have wide feet (not super wide though) and the shoes were roomy and comfortable. I'm also a teacher, and on my feet the entire day. No problems with these shoes at all! Plus, they're really cute! Goes well with pants and skirts! ;)

My boots were just delivered today....and they are so comfortable I don't want to take them off! I ordered size 9.5 and they seem to be sized perfectly. I feel like I could walk 10 miles wearing these boots. I love the stable heel and they will be great for standing long periods of time. I normally don't spend this much for boots but I feel the cost of these Born boots are totally worth it. I think these will be my favorite shoes in my closet!

I love these boots! Very fashionable and flattering. I have a bad knee, and keep heel heights lower than this usually, but the block heel does not bother me at all. Color is greenish grey, height is just tall enough to elongate the leg, and they look great with socks or tights and a dress or skirt. Buy these if you want compliments in your comfortable, stylish ankle boots.

Nice simple classic bootie. Very comfy and decent arch support. Pleased with them. Mainly casual with a hint of dressy.

Great boot. Good looking leather. Interesting heel. I don't typically go for a heel in a casual boot but Born boots are an exception. True to size if you stick with a lightweight sock.

These have a wider toe box so they are definitely just for casual attire. Not really suited for dress pants or work attire. They are by Born, so of course, they are really comfortable. If you get the gray you might think at first that they are brown but when you get outside in the light, you will see that they are a nice looking gray color.

Out of the box great shoe! Leather was nice, grey color was just what I was looking for. The heel is a bit chuncky, so, be aware. I found that it offered really great stability. So, this is a medium height boot that actually felt stable enough like a low, or flat heal boot. Love them!

My second pair of Born boots, and they are as perfect as any boot/shoe could be. Fit is true to size. I put them on and wore them to an appointment and then shopping and actually forgot I was wearing them for the first time, that's how comfortable they are!

Very comfortable and stylish, didn't need breaking in. Needed a classic business boot but that can also be dressed up and this works on multiple levels. A little wide in the ankle area but after wearing it all day standing and walking, no pains or discomforts so it's all worth it.

This was a very comfortable boot. I would buy another pair in the future. They were comfortable right out of the box. If they aren't comfortable I won't keep them.

This is my favorite boot ever. I feel great wearing them. They are surprisingly comfortable for the heel height. My job keeps me on my feet and I can wear them all day. I am normally a 7.5, but my last Born boot was a 7, so I ordered a 7. They fit perfectly. I totally recommend this boot.

I really like the stability of these boots. The boot base is very sturdy and they look great.
I love these boots and it took trying over 10 pairs to get a good fit on my wide feet.

I bought these as an all-purpose short black boot. I have worn Born shoes/boots for many years and they have always been very comfortable. I wear a 9.5 and have a slightly narrow foot. I am wearing a pair of thin cotton knee socks with them and my feet slide on the inside of the boot just a little, but not enough be be bothersome. I think this would be solved with a pair of slightly thicker socks.These look great with jeans, and the slightly chunky heel is very comfortable. I just bought a second pair in the gray suede.
