These are the perfect fall booties! I've been a Born fan for years and these do not disappoint. Quality is amazing, comfort is top notch, and style is better than expected. They were a little tight across the top of my feet at first but since this is quality leather, after the first 10 or 20 steps they stretched ever so slightly and really molded comfortably around my foot. I could wear these all day every day!

I wear a lot of Born boots and these seem smaller than my usual size 10 in their boots. It also runs narrow and I do not have a wide foot (normal width). They do look good and as shown in picture though. I would order 1/2 to one size up for sure (I won't reorder though).

I normally wear a size 8 but after looking at reviews that suggested to order up a half size because they felt a bit narrow, I decided to order size 8 and 8.5 and the review was correct. I fit perfect in a size 8.5

Fit perfect and are very comfortable from the first time I wore them. The quality is very nice and they look expensive. I was pleasantly surprised with how great these boots are. The bottom has a rubber non slip grip which is great and makes for softer and quiet waking too! Highly recommend!

A nice boot but the leather could be better quality for the price point. I purchased the brown leather and they arrived a little scuffed leading me to believe this would happen quite easily. Sole cushion not as nice as born boots purchased two years ago. The tongue of one of the boots had a sharp defect and hurt my ankle so I returned but I did purchase again in another color. It's hard for me to find shoes that are on the narrow side of medium width. If you have wide feet I'd find another style.

Loved the boot but there was a little spot and a big scratch on the right boot . Liked the black color better but it is not available in my size.

I go between 8.5-9 in Born shoes and boots. I have two other style boots that are both 8.5. Most reviews I read here on this boot said they run a 1/2 size too small and I should have listened. The 8.5 were tight where they begin to narrow toward the toes. This boot has a narrower design than my other styles, so that must be where the issue is. If in doubt, I recommend going up a half size in this one.

I Iove these boots! I am usually a 10.5 and I purchased an 11 on these. I added an extra insole and they are perfect. They are very comfortable, with a stylish, classic look. They are as stylish as more expensive boots I’ve tried recently, the the quality of the leather is great.
Definitely recommend!

I typically order Born boots because they have a wider fit in the toe box. I don't have a traditionally wide foot width, but I have a left foot wider (small bunion) than the normal width of most shoes. I originally purchased this boot in my normal Born size (7), but found that it pinched too much in my left foot. After reading more recent reviews, I ordered half size up (7.5) and the boots fit perfectly upon first trying it on. I like the gray color (works with most of my wardrobe) and can't wait to wear this in the colder months!

So comfy. Slightly on the shorter side for this year’s style, but can totally work with right length pants.

I have several pairs of Born boots and have not had this issue before: These are very stiff leather, not very flexible, and seem to run short as well. I could barely get one of these boots on my smaller foot . . . so didn't even try on the longer foot. I am surprised! Simple style, attractive for this type of boot, and the kind of sole I love. But the fit was unusually off ! I wear a 9 or 9.5 in Born boots and bought a 9.5 so I could wear lightweight sox with them. Nope. I'll return, quite disappointed.
I'd also recommend:

Liked these boots but they were too narrow for me. So I had to return them.

For a Born boot (which I have many styles of), it runs on the smaller size, and slightly more narrow than usual, but only for a Born shoe, which usually run wider than other brands. I was going to order both an 8 and 8 1/2 just in case, but there was only the 8 1/2 left in stock in my color of choice. I lucked out, and that was the size that fit me anyway! Beautifully made boot, rugged leather (which does scuff easily, but I like that look). The height is a bit short for a combat boot, but I like them anyway.

I have a very narrow foot yet these boots fit perfectly. The lace up adjustment to foot size and then zipper for in and out are a great combination.

Fit is true to size. Boots completely comfortable as soon as I put them on.
..First wearing, I walked over 3 miles and totally comfortable.

Beautiful shoes but my heel is narrow and kept sliding up and down no matter how I tied the shoes. The boot also pinched across the front of my foot. I have a narrow heel and wider forefoot.

Born came through for me after Cobb Hill discontinued the Bethany boots. If you have wide feet or wear orthotics this is for you.

Very comfortable shoes. The inside is soft. I wear 8.5 in these type of shoes, but had to order 9, and 9 fits perfect.

I LOVE Born boots...somehow they are able to make adorable shoes that are really comfortable. I have been wearing them for years, which is why I ignored so many reviewers that said they were a 1/2 smaller than typical. Turns out, they are right. I always get an 8.5 in Born shoes/boots, but in these, I needed a 9. If you get the right size, however, they are super comfortable and very cute!
