Customer Reviews Born Michel

These boots are the answer. They mesh comfort and style perfectly. So you can look hot and still run for the bus. The color is gorgeous and they hug your feet giving support and cushion in all the right places. The only caveat might be the instep is a bit low and therefore snug, even though I do not have a high instep by any means. Enjoy!

Love these boots. Exactly what I wanted and they fit like a glove right out of the box. Smooth leather, comfortable heel, and the camel color is so versatile. Would buy again in a heartbeat.

These have got to be the most comfortable booties I have ever worn...perfect height to the heel allows me to wear them all day. Style-wise I wish the toe had been slightly more pointed, but otherwise these are fast becoming my "go-to" footwear this season.

I have a hard time finding shoes that I can wear and be comfortable! I am a Flight Attendant and these I wear in the terminal! Attractive!

I'm a 11 or 11.5 wide, but tried these as some reviewers said they ran a bit wide. Unfortunately, not enough. While the 11 B was long enough, it was still too tight across the ball of the foot area. But for a regular width foot, I think they would be very comfortable. They also weren't as shiny as the photo, but did seem high quality. Style felt even more western than photos depicted.

A bit taller heel than originally anticipated. Ordered a 9.5 due to reports of the shoe being tight with wide feet. Ended up being way too big. Did seem to fit similar to Born Kerri and would assume they would fit similar.

I do love these boots! I bought the distressed black and it was exactly what I was looking for. I did return them though because right after they arrived I saw and tried on the same boot in a department store. They appeared to be of better quality craftsmanship and richer color than the pair I was sent. I bought that pair and love them.

I purchased these in black. While I like the height of the heel, I am not a fan of the dip in the front part of the boot. I live in a cold climate, and need to wear socks with my ankle boots. I fear the socks will look dorky with these, so back they go! These fit true to size for me, and were comfortable out of the box, but the style just won't do!

I really liked these boots at first and appreciated the classic style and comfort. However, after wearing these after it had rained outside and was wet, my feet got wet! I didn't even walk in a puddle. I can never wear these even in a light drizzle. What a disappointment...expect way more from Born and at that price!

Super comfy out of the box, love the style and the look except that the opening is very wide, and my ankle and calf are very slender. Therefore the gap was pretty pronounced. Boot-cut jeans would have covered it, and I did consider keeping it, but I want something that looks good with skinny pants and skirts too.

Yes, slightly shiny. Yes, slightly western looking. But, YES, so comfortable!!! I liked the dip in front, but otherwise kind of neutral about the style... Until I put them on and felt how comfortable they are. I have problem feet, bunions, wide forefoot and narrow ankles, and these feel great. Plenty of width by sizing up 1/2 size. Nice toe box space. Does not feel like a heel. A slight gap around top of boot, but due to style and cut out, it looks ok. Will be cute with jeans or skirts.

I returned these. I ended up getting the Sofft Vesna and I loved those more than these (those look better in person than in their pictures). These are very nice but the leather was too shiny and the toe was rounder than I prefer. Those were the defining reasons for my return. The style of the shoe was affected (in my opinion by those two factors). The shoe was very comfortable (like sneakers, which was shocking for the heel height). I liked the dip in the front that showed a peak of leg. I normally wear a 10 in all shoes and the 9½ felt perfect so I think these run half a size large but that feeling could be attributed to how round the toe is.

I love this boot and wanted it to fit so bad but it bends to much at the front of the foot and makes my foot hurt. For me it needs a sturdier sole and maybe a little thicker also.

These are really great looking shoes, but I can't get my feet in them. The leather is very stiff. There is no elastic gusset on the other side of the zipper so there is no stretch at all to get them on. I had on a lightweight pair of socks. I ordered 6 pairs of booties, all the same size - love the way they look but can't get them on.

Narrow and not hugely comfortable. I didn't like the look- they are supposed to be worn looking but just looked old/ used.

I am a 7 and ordered a 7, but these feel like 6s. I suggest getting a half or full size larger.

I have worn these a few times. I kept them instead of returning them as they were somewhat comfortable for a bootie. Easy to wear because the rugged finish holds up to scuffs.

Love the style, super comfy. BUT I wore these in a light rain today and my toes were totally wet - toe box is soaked! I know - not rain boots - but I never stepped in a puddle, just walked to my car and back a couple time. Kind of a bummer.

I wanted to love these but even with a thick sock I couldn't get them to stop slipping in the heel! I ordered my normal Born size 6 1/2 but these just won't work! I also found the Tabacco to be a bit too distressed for my taste!

I loved these booties until about a month ago when I noticed the interior foot bed starting to shred. It’s like the heels of both inner soles were attacked by Wolverine, but I think it’s just from the friction of my foot as I walk. Very disappointed. Also, because the color is already “distressed” (I got them in black), they ended up looking pretty grubby pretty quickly. I should point out that I’ve had them less than 6 months at this point.

When I first received these boots I was in love with the style. They were a little tight, on the top of my foot initially, but stretched after several wears into a perfectly fitting, comfortable boot. The issue came when I wore these boots in the rain for the first time. The very first puddle, and I could feel the water almost pouring in through the toe area. I was travelling across the U.S. that day, which meant I was stuck with wet socks for over 9 hours. Ewe. I've worn Borne boots in the past and have not had this same issue. Will be returning these and searching for a style that will hopefully keep my feet dry.

Looked great, but right shoe rubbed my right ankle as soon as I put it on. Too bad!

I loved these and was so excited when I read all the good reviews. I have always worn a size 10, and wear a 10 in the Born Julianne. However these boots fit so tight that I could not even wear them with socks. I wore them around the house and thought they might stretch out, with no such luck. I had to return them, I knew I would not wear them due to the tight fit.
