Customer Reviews Born Cove

felt a half size too large. Nice quality boot.

Believe that I have to try a size down. I am normally an 8.5 in most shoes but this one seems large.

Nice boot overall. Returning because it’s a bit too tight and uncomfortable on my feet. I’m glad I tried this boot.

It took me a little bit to break them in, but now they are super comfortable. One thing I don’t love is, I have to be careful which socks I wear or they get pulled down to my toes (I’ve never had this problem with other shoes).

This really needs to be offered in 10.5. I found that it ran a half size small. I wear a 10 and the 10 was just too tight even if I wore with my thinnest socks. I am sizing up to the 11 and hoping with socks they’ll fit great. The boots looks nice, feel high quality, and have really nice cushioning inside. I could tell from the 10 that if they were a little bigger I’d love them.

These are gorgeous, but the toe box was too narrow for me. I have another pair of Born boots I love, but these were much too pointed for my narrow-heel wide-toe foot shape. Easy choice to send them back, but sad to say bye to such cute boots.

I'm looking for white or ivory boots that have a neutral toebox and don't squeeze my toes together. These boots were BETTER THAN MOST, but still not completely comfortable - so they are going back. I planned on wearing them everywhere and if my foot is squeezed just sitting still, I don't want to compromise my feet walking around like that.

Runs a bit small. I’m a 7.5 and 8 in boots. These for like a glove without socks in an 8. No room for any orthos or socks. A little tight in toe box. Soft toe bed. Comfortable straight out of the box, though. I’m back this year for an 8.5. They held up nicely though last fall and winter in Wisco. I got the grey leather. I’m trying the black suede.

Nice pull on suede boot. I have a wider 9.5 foot and the toe box was not quite wide enough for my foot. they are cute, make my foot look not as big as it could be, and seems otherwise like a comfortable shoe. have to return but nice boot overall.

The with is true to size, but the length of this shoe is a bit long. So, the shoe appears slightly too big.

stock slide!!! immediate and no fix.

Very comfortable - not the most stylish, but they work for casual walks etc

A little clunky to be worn all day

This shoe would've been 5 stars but they arrived pre-worn and damaged with 3 stains on them. I wanted to keep them but they had to go back.

As others noted, my socks were pulled down under my toes.

I am usually a solid 8, and that’s what I ordered in these boots. They fit pretty snugly, but not crazy tight. I decided to keep them vs. ordering an 8.5 to see what that felt like. I love the style and was just eager to wear these. My sock was eaten a couple of times like some reviewers said, but these are casual boots, meaning you are going to be wearing them in a casual setting, so taking them off my foot and readjusting socks while sitting at my chair is not really an issue for me.

I appreciate the quality of Born products. The last 2 pairs of boots I have ordered have run smallish. I usually wear a 7 and have a high instep. They both were tight on the top of my arch and narrow enough for my "medium width" foot to feel tight. Just a light sock is possible. I kept the Cove boots because they are waterproof and stylish enough to go out in. I have worn them twice and they are getting more comfortable. I wish Born would make their boots a little more generous in size, however!

Super cute bootie and loved the color. No arch support at all. Didn't try an insert, but would def need it if keeping this boot.

They were a normal 11 -- but instep too large.

I wear size 10M, and these fit exactly as expected. Easy to get on and off, good arch support. I ended up returning though because I needed a more outdoor rugged boot

These boots fit perfectly if I were going to wear them barefoot, or maybe with thin stockings, but it is very hard to put a foot with a sock into these boots. The socks end up getting pulled super tight around my toes, crunching up my toes, and no amount of wiggling can loosen them. Since I want to wear these in the winter, I need to wear them with socks. So, they are going back.

I really loved these. They have that 90s doc marten vibe that channels Winona Ryder in all her moody floral dresses with tough boots. However, I decided to go with the lighter in weight (by 6oz) Harlow Chelsea by Sorel. These were a close second though. Very comfortable and suitable for a *slightly* wider toe box. I was my normal size 9 in these.

Overall I loved this stylish shoe. I was very comfortable. The only reason I returned them was due to a lump at the seam on the side of the shoe rubbing my foot. I ordered a second pair hoping that the first was just defective.

These seemed to fit to size, but the leather was stiff. I could tell it would rub my shin, and it would be sore after an hour of walking around, so I sent them back.
