Customer Reviews Born Tarkiln

Not the best fit for me. The zipper top rubbed on my ankle.

Not much cushion.

Runs true to size. Super cute. Wish they had more cushion and arch support.

They are so cute,but the heel slips, might be a little big.

This is my first pair of Born. I always go up 1/2 size when ordering a boot so I ordered a size 7 as I wear with a boot sock which tends to be on the thicker side. Has a roomy toe box that I love. Haven't worn for any significant amount of time yet so I'm not so sure if the boot offer's all day comfort or not. Guess I'll find out once our weather turns colder here in Michigan. Very happy purchase

Extremely comfortable. I used it for my long walks every day in fall and winter.

Good

Run small and narrow imo but a very pretty boot.

size was just a slight bit small I'm sure it will stretch out with wear, the wide toe bed saves it.

The size was fine but the width was just too narrow for my wide foot.

I love the look, but like other reviewers, they are loose at the heel and they rub up and down when I walk. My inside ankle bone started to feel raw just walking around the house for a few minutes. I am sorry they don't work.

This pair was a bit loose. I ordered two pair before these. Too tight. Love them so much that I ordered a fourth. They fit! Happydance

Love these shoes and they are super comfortable. Only issue is that they slip on the heel. Not too much of a problem for my normal wear but I could see that being a problem if I had a particularly active day with lots of walking.

Possibly the cutest boot I’ve ever seen. I wanted them to work so much. I read all the suggestions and reviews about turning the liner upside down or wearing your own orthotics Or whatever, but my socks slipped down regardless. There was just no getting around it. I have a very narrow foot So possibly someone with the larger heel area might do better with these boots. Otherwise they were very comfortable and fit in length and width around the toebox just fine. I ended up getting a TARAN instead which is a little bit higher around the ankle and the socks don’t slip down so badly. Also the “grey” is more of a taupe.

Cute boot, they will probably be better once they break in and get softer. They have been comfortable from day one but the leather would be nice if it was a little softer. They also feel a tad clunky but overall a nice boot and most importantly they are comfortable.

Loved these. First pair was all round too small. I ordered half size up. The length worked but they were just too narrow for me. I have a wide foot. Had to return.

Thought they were adorable. I had to return as the right boot seemed to be a little too short in length.

Well styled, and comfy enough for short walks, but not supportive enough for a day of walking. Feels too wide in the heel, and the soles are thin. I love how they look, and the leather is very soft.

I love the look—-getting the right fit was the problem. The 9 with a medium thick sock was too tight & the 9.5 was too loose. So sadly it was a no go! Another disappointment was I ordered Gray but opened the box to Brown!! Not a Zappo mistake—the box was labeled Gray?

I wanted to love these !! love how they look, but they were too narrow in the toe and too wide in the heel. I bought one size larger, hoping thelengthwould give me enough width, but no go. darn

Great looking boot. Heel slides like many say. It’s annoying because the shoe is too small so bigger would mean more sliding. Bummer.

Born boots are the only boot I buy they always fit like a glove, the Tarkiln are supper comfortable but they could have been just a tad bit longer, I have the purchase the Kerri boots and they fit prefect. Love my Borns

This shoe is adorable, unfortunately it doesn't fit securely enough on the foot for me and a smaller size would have been too small. The design theoretically allows for tightening at the ankle, where it was loosest, but very minimally. I was walking out of it; a thicker sock would have made the toe box too tight. It is such a cute shoe and I generally have good luck with fit on Born shoes but not this one. I was very sorry to have to return it.

They run small, I have about 25 pairs of Borns in different styles of boots and shoes and these are the first ones I have to reorder in a half of size bigger, I wear a true 8 and had to send the 8's back and get a 8 1/2

These are so cool that I "made" them fit. They are large in the heel and a bit narrow across the widest part of the foot. Not nearly enough arch support for me. But since I love them, I bought orthotics that lift my heel and add arch support. Hoping the soft suede will stretch a little across the front. The seem fine walking around in the house - waiting/hoping to see that they will feel as awesome as they look.
