Customer Reviews Born Risko

If I could wear these all the time, I would. Wish they came in black. They already look slightly distressed and so I'm thinking they'll age well. Dreamy footbed, easy on and off. My quality of life just shot up when I put these boots on. Right out of the box. Stop wearing uncomfortable shoes, stop it now.

I bought the boots to wear for yard work. Although I wear a narrow, with heavy socks, the medium width works fine. The boot is very comfortable, and I ordered a second pair after trying the first.

These look great and are solid, but they run very small. I ordered the same size as my other Born boots, but couldn't even get my foot all the way into this one.

These are amazing! They fit fantastically and are perfectly snug around the ankle, probably the zippers on both sides helps with a tighter fit. I get lots of compliments.

I LOVE these boots ! I totally messed up and didn't read the reviews that they run small and narrow. I just ordered my normal Born size and they're a bit snug so I have to return. But I'm getting a .5 size bigger because they are so cute.

These boots are fantastic. I generally wear a wider shoe, so wasn't sure these would work for me. They were snug at first but have shaped themselves to my feet now, and are really comfortable. Highly recommended. With the double zippers, it's a breeze to get on and off with a shoe horn. And comfortable as well!

Returning. Cute boot but too clunky for my taste. Was wanting something for everyday, not trekking outdoors.

Cute boots, but they do run small, but loose in the heel for me, so a size up won't help. A size 8 used to be perfect for me in Born boots, but I guess they have changed their sizing.

Super cute boot. Nice cushioned foot bed. Unfortunately there was a defect with the insole. The first 2 inches in the toe box was completely curled under! Never experienced that before. Back they go!

Just a too tight for my feet. Sorry. Thank you.

So cool love zippers on both sides

Utterly comfortable, great style, true to size. Well up to Born's usual standards.

Love these boots.Love that they have a low heel great for winter!!!

I like the fit of this shoe. I have a slender foot, little flesh, but these felt good. I had difficulty putting them on until I spied the double zipper! Ordered 8 M, but that seemed too short. These will not keep my feet warm as big socks will not easily allow movement in the shoe. Hate to send them back, as they are great looking for winter pants.

I love the boots but they were just a little to stiff and slightly small

Love these. But definitely run small compared to other Born shoes I've purchased. Love them anyway. Yes, the leather is a little stiff to start, but once you wear them a bit they are great. The leather warms up and will stretch and conform to your feet. The beauty of leather. I use them as my everyday boot that look great but are very functional since I live and work in the mountains. I usually wear a 9.5. So I ordered a 10 which were too tight. They did not come in a 10.5 so I took a chance and ordered 11. Yikes. But they fit with a little wiggle room for thicker socks. I'm going that route since winter will be here and thicker socks will be the way to go anyway.

LOVE these Born Risko's!! Love the style...LOVE, the LOW heel, Top stitching, & color! Thank you SO much for bringing out the LOW HEEL> We need more low heels for those of us who have natural height! NO artificial Height necessary.. I Love that it has a "level footing." The Golden color looks brown to me and I like it! maybe a tad bit of rust-ish hue to the brown. Maybe, just maybe. Still I consider these brown. Additionally, the insides of the foot bed have alot of nice cushion! I can wear a medium thick sock with them and they feel at least true to size for me. I usually wear a size 11.5 athletic shoes and these I got these Born in size 11. I have a narrow foot, so these might be considered narrow to most people. The 2 shoes felt different in sizing so Zappos is sending me out a new pair and hopefully the right shoe will be much more like the left shoe. It can happen...Zappos is amazing in their understanding. I will add more to this review on MOnday when I get my new pair delivered.

Super comfortable and go with everything. I like how there is a zipper on both sides of the boot to help put it on easier. There aren't too many choices of boot with no heel, and this one is perfect! Definitely order 1/2 to 1 full size up as they feel a little small. I normally wear a size 9 and ordered a 9 1/2 and was very glad that I did.

Ordered my usual size 8 and they fit great. Very comfortable and good support. The suede is a pretty rusty brown and I sprayed waterproofing for suede on them. The zippers work well and so far appear to be good quality. They look sharp with skinny and straight leg jeans. These boots are just what I was looking for.

Very narrow. Have average width foot with high instep. Even two zippers didn’t help. Could not get foot comfortably in this boot. Also very stiff leather. Nice looking but just didn’t work.

I owned a pair of lace up boots similar to this style a while back and they held up so well that the inside wore out - and the outside barely did! These shoes were just a tad snug upon first try, but were surprisingly easy to break in right out of the box. These shoes are much more comfortable than my last attempt at Born shoes- they were hard, narrow/long, and never broke in. Overall, I’m happy to be back to enjoying Born again and hope they come back to softer and lighter casual boot styles like these ones. I did notice that the attachment of the material to the sole is kind of ratty looking but only if you look close. Not a big deal since I got them half price, but I would probably be a little concerned a out the quality of I had paid original price. Soft padding is great and color of “Golden” is rich and quite stunning. Satisfied with my purchase and Zappos was easy and quick. Hope these shoes last as long as my first favorite Born boots.

I love these. I wanted a rugged, casual boot. Not as comfortable as my other Born boots that are taller, smooth leather with more of a riding boot look. but I still love them and can wear them all day.. Also the right socks are important, they seem to tug your socks down.

I usually wear anywhere from a 7 to an 8, depending on shoe. I ordered an 8 based on reviews. They almost worked, but my toe was too close to the end on one shoe & both shoes hurt my heels. 8.5 sold out, or I might give them another try!

Great looking shoe, but was way too small. The price is right, but order a size larger.

I fall between a 6.5 and a 7, depending on brand. In these, the 7 is good, and allows for thick socks, which is nice. They're good now, but think once I wear them a bit and the leather softens up they are going to be amazing. Very utilitarian. I had thought they would come a bit higher on my leg, but it's ok, I don't mind where they hit, a few inches above the ankle. I needed a good, solid, wear 'em everyday and not think about it kind of boot, and these fit the bill.
