Customer Reviews Born Chelan

Feels a little small. Tight in the toe area

The shoes are really cute and the color will be fine with anything. I haven’t worn them yet but just walking around the house they feel good.

I purchased this shoe for my true love and it did not fail me. Borns are known for comfort and this shoe lived up to the reputation.

Other reviewers were right ... I bought a 1/2 size larger and they fit. Returning because the color wasn't right for me.

These shoes are even cuter than in the picture! Great neutral color for me. I probably could have gotten away with a 9 but was too impatient to wait for a return/exchange. Just bought a second pair in black!

I am normally a 9.5 wide. Given reviews, I bought a size 10. B width fits like a wide which is great for me. However, the size 10 was too large. Am returning for a size 9.5.

Very cute, comfortable shoes. Seem just a little big.

These were really cute, and I was excited to get them. They felt too small, though, and I have to return them. I wish they had worked out.

These shoes fit very oddly. My normal size for Born shoes is 39 and I typically wear 8.5 and 9 shoes, so the first pair I ordered was a 9. It was so tight that it felt more than a whole size too small. I wasn't taking any chances so I reodered a 9.5 and a 10. I'm keeping the 9.5 but I'm not thrilled about it. The shoes are a little tight across the top of the toes but I hope they'll be comfortable as I break them in. On the other hand, they're a little loose in odd places elsewhere on the foot. The shoes may be sloppy and loose once they're broken in, but I'm keeping them because I like the red color. This shoe is definitely not what I've come to expect from Born sandals and flats. They're typically in European sizes so I don't know what happened with these but I hope it's not an overall change they plan to make.

These are very cute, but hit my foot in all the wrong spots, so I know they will rub and cause blisters.

Cute. Felt nice and cushioned but the red was not as bright as I was hoping for so I am sending back.

Unfortunately, like many round toe flats, these cut me right at the toe joint. I liked the style and they felt comfortable otherwise, but they won’t work for me.

I wish I could love these shoes. I really like the look of them, and when I first put them on the sole felt comfortable and they weren't slipping - so I thought they must be the right size. I only ordered a 7.5 (my usual size), because the 8s were out of stock for comparison. After wearing around the house for a short while I noticed the toe area felt very cramped, and there was quite a bit of rubbing across the side of my big toe and my heel. I ended up ordering the 8 directly from Born to see how they fit, since I like the color and style so much. They fit better - but the toes are still cramped and after a short while I have rubbing in the same areas. I think this shoe just has an odd fit to it. Worth a try....maybe.

Sorry to say, these shoes gapped at the sides on my foot. The ruching across the top front of the shoe doesn't really compliment the little leather string bow in my opinion. Seems like one or the other would have been sufficient. For the price, not too pleased.

I have a wide foot and purchased a size larger to accomodate. Still too tight. I feel if I would have gone up another size the shoe would have been too long.

Does not seem to be at the quality level of other Born ballet flats.

These are true to size. I'm usually a 9 in Borns and the 9 fit. But I bought the gold and felt the quality was subpar compared to other Borns. The leather felt too distressed for a gold coloring. The style wasn't great either. The bow and extra ribbing in the toe was too busy for my taste.

I really wanted to love this shoe but it was just too short in the toe and didn’t feel comfortable enough to justify the price. Maybe if it was cheaper I would’ve kept it and tried to see if they would stretch out. Not worth the price so I sadly passed on these and sent them back. Thanks Zappos for easy returns,Mia

Shoe was a bit tight and toe box is very short. Felt like a size down. If there was a longer size I would have exchanged them. Gave them to my daughter, who wears a size ten, and they fit her fine. Plus she thinks they are cute for the summer.

Tight getting on, not the color I thought they would be , a little to low cut in the front for comfortable wearing for me.

True to size and true to Born quality. Nonetheless, I returned them. I wouldn't have imagined that gold ballet flats could look frumpy, but these succeeded. I shouldn't have been completely surprised -- the ruched toe box looked dowdy in the photos, and this was true in real life as well. So, back they went.

It was just too short. The shoe was awkward the way it fit and looked in the toe.

I really need a soft gold flat, but the cut of these did not fit at all. Disappointed about strange fit for my feet, but thank you for Zappos wonderful service as always!!!!

folds of leather on the toe is too loose. zit should fit more snugly down near the sole. Clearly these had been sent out to someone else, then returned and sent out to me. I wonder if the previous person noticed the loose leather on the left shoe. Not appropriate to send it out to someone else in that shape.
