I’m another long term Born clog owner. Best shoes ever. I have high arches and I never have a problem with the fit. This will be another pair I wear until they fall apart.

Born has always offered a quality product. I have worn their clogs for over 16 years.

Love these shoes! Only downfall is they don’t come in half sizes. I probably could have stuck with the size I originally ordered but it seemed just a tad small and I’m on my feet 12 hours a day so my shoes have to fit perfectly. Hoping the next full size up fits ok when that comes in the mail.

Thank you Zappos Zappers, I ordered these yesterday and received them today and they are perfect. Thank you for your EXCELLENT return policy and your patience. These are very nice slides and they fit my ugly feet perfectly. Very happy and satisfied.

Rubbed a bit on top of my toes and leather was firm on initial wear. Feel is very comfortable waiting for them to stretch a bit more

Very nice clogs by Born. I felt they were true to size and I have a more narrow width foot. Will be wearing these with a sock. Very well made and the leather is good quality. Would definitely recommend.

These shoes should have been very comfortable; however, I have a small surgical scar on my right foot and the seam of the shoe rubbed in exactly that spot. Also, the style was not exactly what I was looking for. I think they would be very good for someone with a more normal foot.

These fit well except the shoe and my foot didn't agree on what is forward. When my foot was straight, the shoe heel was off to the side - I would have thought I was curling my foot inward - but I wasn't. I guess it's just the way the shoe is cut. Its a beautiful shoe - I wish it had worked out.

I love the styling of these shoes, and the leather is especially beautiful. They felt great when I put them on, and were comfortable for several hours. Then they began to pinch. I kept trying to wear then around the house, hoping my feet and the shoes would adjust to each other. Unfortunately, it didn't happen, and I had tom send them back.

I'm a tried and true Born size 8 but had some trouble with my heel falling out the back of these. Will try the next full size up. I have higher arches so this might the be cause of my woes...

Beautiful leather shoe, really, and has a very deeply cushioned insole. There just isn't any arch in them for my higher arches. I'll probably try another Born, just to see if other styles have more arch support. They are almost 1/2 size short in my usual size 7.

Loved the look of these. However, where the upper connected to the sole on the inner side of the foot rubbed against my arches. So while the shoe didn't feel too narrow by the toes, it somehow was too narrow in its construction.

I was disappointed in the craftmanship of these BORN clogs. The leather came back just a touch further than my other clogs. Because of this it was hard toget my foot all the way in, due to my high arches. How it was sewn where your foot slides in, it dug into the side of my foot! Otherwise, the cushioning in the footbed was wonderfully comfortable! I will be returning these. Iv'e never had problems with BORN clogs or sandals. BOC are also a great shoe.

Good fit; although typically I'm an 8.5. Not quite enough arch support, but plenty of room in the toe. We'll see how they work on longer walks.

Not what I expected. I did not want it to be cloth inside. My preference is leather inside and out.

I really want to like these, but don't. Firstly, the color isn't what I expected. The red is more like brown. Secondly, while they "fit" as far as being long enough, they feel too small. I normally wear 9.5 or 10 and ordered the 10. Hard to explain, but it feels like my heel is coming over the edge even though it isn't. Thirdly, the stitching on the soul rubs the bottom of my feet. darn.

Loved the shoe but was way too narrow for my foot. If they offered it in wide I would get that but it looks like they don’t. Will sadly be returning.

The shoes are wider than average so my foot slips down into the shoe, jamming my toes against the end. Also, at the inside of the shoes (at the arch of the foot), the leather has a somewhat sharp edge which rubbed painfully against the soft arch of my foot. I'll either have to put bandaids on that spot on my feet or build up a callus there. Disappointed.
I'd also recommend:
Try the Naot Dream instead if you like this shoe. Better quality, comfortable.

Fit was ok, a little short. And the heel was a little high for me for a casual run around town shoe. Otherwise - made well, support good, style a little boring, but color was nice.
