Customer Reviews Born Beca

Hello long toes and wide toes you have found your ideal flat. I used to be a serial Born Julianne wearer for many years until my feet changed with age. I've tried many flat styles recently to find one that's moderately supporitve and all failed and fit weird. I turned to Born to try this cool unusual Beca in the on-trend Orange color that's caught my eye lately. A solid winner! Super adorable comfortable with just enough support. I don't think I can walk miles in these but to the office and days off come spring and summer to dress up shorts or jeans? Yes!!! Oh I did order these a half size smaller and it fits.

I own A LOT of shoes. A few of them are even made by Born. Almost all of them are size 7. This shoe is beautiful and comfortable but the sizing is totally wrong. I ordered my size and they were way too big. Then I ordered one half size down and they are still too big. I have to drive 30 minutes to the closest drop off point so I’m just keeping this pair. But maybe Born should include additional insoles with each because that’s the only way I can keep them on my feet.

Not impressed with this shoe. It has little to no support and foot bed is very shallow. Returned

Aside from it being bigger than my regular size, I LOVE this shoe. I like the square-rounded toe. The leather is supple and as a reading tutor that is constantly walking up and down the hall getting kids, this shoe works for me. I did have to exchange it for an 8.5, which was shocking, but it worked. Ordering them in black now.

These shoes run a little big. I can wear a 8.5 or 9 depending on the shoe. I ordered the 9 and sent them back for the 8.5. I feel they are still a smidge to big but love the color and style I will make them work. They are very comfortable. By the end of the day the top of the shoe was bothering me a little but I feel that is normal and I am just getting used to a flat after wearing boots and tennis shoes all winter. My favorite part is the color!! So pretty!

The us was the weirdest looking shoe ever... also too long but kind of tight across the top. Had to go back.

This is the second pair and am still very pleased! It does run big, so go down a half size. Love the toe shape and softness of the leather.

I read the reviews on this shoe and they said they run a half size large. I usually wear an 8, ordered a seven and a half and they fit perfectly. The leather is lovely, nice cushion and the color (dark green) is a dark blue/gray. Love them.

I love the look/style of this shoe, however, it ran large (I even ordered a 1/2 size down due to reviews). It was very wide and the suede was stiff, not soft like suede should be. The sides of the shoe were non-supportive, rather flimsy and produced large gaps on both sides when taking a step. The shoe had no body whatsoever. I tried to fix the problem with insoles, but nothing was going to fix the insubstantial sloppy leather on the sides of the shoes. A little sad because I loved the look of this shoe.

These flats are super comfy and fit true to size. I usually wear a 9B and the 9B was a perfect fit. I do not feel the shoe has much arch support at all. If you need arch support, you will have to add it. I like the higher cut of the vamp. If a shoe cuts across the top of my foot at the wrong place, I have pain. This one is cut high enough to avoid that. Style is perfect to wear with dresses, jeans, or dressy pants.

I needed blue flats and and these on another site and loved the way they looked. I get a better price here on Zappos! The shoe runs true to size I wear a 71/2 M and it was a perfect fit. I was unsure because with some brands I need a size 8..But the 71/2 was perfect!! Now I want to purchase the dark brown suede in the same style!

THese shoes are exactly as I expected: a ballet FLAT. No heel, no real arch support. But I looked at the picture and knew what I was buying. The leather is a nice quality with a breathable lining. And even though they are a flat, the insole is cushy and comfortable. Based on previous purchases, Zappos thought I should get the 7.5 (39 EU), but I wasn’t so sure because of the European sizing. I bought the 7 & 7.5. Honestly, I could have gone for a 7.25! I kept the 7’s. I’m usually a 7-7.5 in flats and dress shoes (or a pretty solid 38 that leans 37). So considering that, I think they fit true to size for me and my expectations.They fit like a snug glove and I know they’ll give a little because of the leather. The stitching on the outsole demonstrates the craftsmanship of this shoe. At this price ~ a steal. I chose the blush color. They are a great “nude” for my fair skinned feet with cool undertones.

I haven't worn these shoes yet but I am a huge fan of Born shoes and find that I usually have great luck with comfort. I wanted the nude/natural color for a specific dress but am hoping I can make them work for many outfits. I loved the style the first time I saw it and may even buy it again in another color.

Look as good as they feel - comfortable and stylish.

I ordered the blue suede Beca and really like them! More coverage and comfortable than other ballet flats but still looks very stylish. I found that they do run big. I’m usually a 9.5 occasionally a 9 but I had to reorder these in 8.5. I don’t know if that’s specific to the color but Zappos has a great exchange/return policy so this was easy to do and worth it.

Finally a shoe that's comfortable and looks good. Leather super soft. I may order a second pr in a different color.

Great flats! You need to size down a half size though!

I wanted to love this shoe, but the heel came up too high in the back and was rubbing wrong. Everything else about it was comfortable.

Full coverage and comfortable on my wider than average feet. They were however a good half inch longer than a typical size 7.

I ordered the Natural in 9M and 8.5M after reading some of the reviews about how they run a little small. I mostly wear a 9M, sometimes a 9.5M, and have a slightly boxy foot. I think the 9M will end up being better, even though I could get my foot snuggly into the 8.5M. I'm afraid the 8.5M won't stretch enough. Hopefully the 9M won't stretch at all. As for the color, the Natural has a pink putty cast to it. Not what I wanted. I'll be returning it for another color.

I am really discouraged trying to find a cute pair of loafers that fit a narrow foot and that are stylish. I have worn born boots and sandals previously and they seemed to fit pretty well, but these were very wide. I have a narrow heel, a high arch and a fairly narrow forefoot. I need a shoe with some structure at the forefoot so ballet flats are out (I get foot cramps with them). I’m sorry to keep ordering and returning shoes that don’t fit properly.

I ordered these in my normal size 6.5. They're too big and too wide. The style is not flattering on me. Returning and not reordering.

I normally wear an 8 1/2 or nine, and the nine would have fit better. But, the shoe is like a layer of leather over something stiff, which makes it uncomfortable. I can easily imagine the shoes causing blisters. Also, the shoes are extremely flat without arch support. I am returning.

I had been looking for some comfortable ballet type shoes that I can wear without socks. I love the style of these. The minute I put them on I could tell they were too big as they had room in the heel and with this kind of shoe you need to be a bit tight so they can stretch a tad with wear. I was so disappointed! I have purchased other Born shoes and size 6 was also just a tad snug, but these are a bit longer.

full size too large
