Customer Reviews Born Tarkiln

Love the boots! True to size but could use more arch support and a bit more room in the depth of the toe box. I have arthritic feet and planters fasciitis so people with healthy feet may not notice these things.

They are really cute booties, but they are too narrow for me. They are most likely true to size and width. I have to return them.

I bought the blue suede boots, and I love them!! I get so many compliments on them. My husband never says anything about my shoes (except to ask if I got yet ANOTHER pair?). But he actually said they were “cute”. I always wear a Size 9. But I got a 9 in them and had to exchange them for a 91/2. So I recommend sizing up 1/2 size. I am getting a second pair of these!

Exactly what I was looking for, a structured moccasin. I can hike, work, or shop. I am a long time Born customer and deal with painful joints and arthritic feet, I will buy another pair.

I absolutely love these! But, they were too big. I have another pair of Born slip on boots, size 9, perfect fit. These are wider and my heel slips, so I'm exchanging for a 1/2 size smaller. I hate to send them back but I know I'll be happier. the exchange process couldn't be easier! Born is the best!

Just adorable. I ordered the Born Tarkilin for my Daughter-In-Law for Christmas 2020 and they are just adorable. I originally ordered the black Tarkilin but they never arrived. For my replacement, I selected the blue and they are gorgeous. I had to stop myself from ordering my own pair, maybe later, lol!

I love the look of Born boots, and the right boot fit great. However, I have weird feet and the left shoe barely went on and was very tight. Why can't Born make a wider fitting shoe for those of us with strange feet?

Perfect fit and do comfortable

Fits perfectly! Love the style and the shock-absorbing rubber sole. Also happy with the roundish toe--works well with my oddly shaped, previously broken big toe, with no pain. I know I'll be wearing these until they fall apart. ?

Took a chance on these after reading reviews. I have a wide foot so I went up a size. Snug out of the box but stretched out and fit perfect. I love them. I didn't find the ankles to be big but again, I have a wide foot.

So comfy. I love them. They feel like slippers. I bought the blue which is rich.

Great boots, good quality, comfortable, sized like Born shoes.

I bought these 1/2 size up so I could wear them with thicker socks for cold weather and they fit perfectly. If you wear thin socks or tights I would buy your try size. The toe box is roomy so they are comfortable to wear all day. I LOVE these shoes and get compliments every time I wear them.

These are super cute and VERY comfortable. Squishy footbed. I ordered up a half size just to take into consideration thick socks and I like my boots a little ‘clunky’. Heels slip a bit but not enough for me to send back. I can always add some inserts. They look exactly like the photo. I purchased the gray and they look a little more beige but a super neutral color.

I purchased these shoes last week and they arrived in 2 days time. I just love the olive green colour, the size 8 fits me perfectly...not too tight at all. I've worn them everyday since and have already had several compliments on them.

Great shoe. Comfortable from the first time I put them on.

Look AWESOME with skinny jeans....just the right amount of chunky boot look

These EXTREMELY cute boots were exactly what I was looking for: casual, easy to walk/stand in for hours, and versatile enough to wear with almost anything.

Love this shoe! Fit was true to size - I ordered a little bigger so I can wear thick, warm, winter socks.

I bought a half size up as recommended and they felt like they were going to fall off and also saw that in the negative reviews. I ordered my normal size, they felt tight but stretched out quick and I love them. They aren't comfortable as the other Born shoes I have but I love the style.

Fits true to size. Width is perfect for me. My feet tend a little wide and these are just a bit snug at my forefoot, but being leather they'll stretch that small amount which is perfect. The length and he'll are just right. They're very comfortable except on concrete where they could use a bit more cushioning. My feet tend to hurt though, so if your feet are normal you'll probably find the cushioning perfect.

These boots are cute. But they do run small. I normally wear a 10 to 10.5 and the 11 fit right. It is a little more narrow in toe box than other Borns. I think I could have gone with a 10.5 wide and been happier than the 11 medium. I am not overweight and somewhat athletic - so I don't have fat feet. Hope this helps you decide.

The heel is a little wide and pulls my socks down but the rest of the fit is great and they are so darn cute! I am going to try some heel pads. I sprayed them with suede and nubuck protectant and also bought a cleaning kit.

I ordered the brown distressed color, also called glazed ginger. It's really nice- sort of a rustic look. The boot material is a suede so it can scratch easily and you would need to be careful not to get them wet. Initially, I ordered a size 9, even though I usually wear an 8.5. They were way too big so I exchanged (very easy exchange process!) for an 8.5. They fit much better but the heel was still sliding. The toe area fit fine and if I had gone down to an 8, they would be too small. I think the issue is that the heel is just not very deep so it doesn't really "grip" your heel enough to keep it from sliding up and down. This also results in the boot gradually pulling your sock down as you walk. This probably wouldn't be a problem for everyone, but it was for me. I was able to find a solution though. I got some heel shoe grips and they work great. They are like padded stickers that stick inside the shoe. I placed them at the top part of the heel area and no more sliding. Now they are very comfortable and I'm very happy with them.

Beautiful Navy Distressed color! This is a very loose fitting shoe/boot. Not a lot of support below or on the sides. But very easy to put on and head outside!
