The style of the Born Tora is very cute and I wanted to love them, but the front of the boot hits the ankle at a weird place and isn't comfortable when walking in them, even with socks it rubs at just the wrong spot for me, so sadly they go back.

I wear a 6, ordered a 6, fits good, but I only wear nylons, no socks. Was surprised that the boots had a pad for the balls of the feet, Great job. The insole comes out for those people that have to put other insoles in. I ordered the green color, the brown and the grey, the grey ones look more like a brown grey then a normal grey. I think everyone should have at least one pair for the fall/winter season. knowing me I will problemly keep ALL 3. I will NOT have any issues with these boots.

height may be an issue- the top of this boot rubs right on my ankle bone, worse at the side zip but I am wearing indoors to keep evaluating. i had to order 1/2 size up for room in toe. Cute style, well cushioned footbed with good support.

My toes were squeezed on the left foot. The arch was too loose with the manufacturers insole and not comfortable with my orthotic alone or with the manufacturer's insole. I thought the elastic would make the shoes tighter. They are roomy around the ankles. The toes looked like someone had worn them awhile, too.

The shoe is super cute however I was very disappointed in the comfort. The comfort of Born shoes is one on the main reasons that I buy them. Honestly, the comfort level is so, so at best.

They are much smaller than other born shoes. I normally wear a 9 but after reading the reviews, I ordered a 9.5 and they are still too short in the toes. My toes hit the front of the shoes. The width is fine. The style and color are super cute, but unfortunately they have to go back.

For me they are a great fit. I purchased the Grey. I am a true 8.5W so, given reviews, I tried both the 8.5M and 9M. 9M is too long. Since they are leather, I knew they would loosen enough to accommodate my slightly wide foot and they have within only a couple of wears. I was able to wear with a medium weight sock. I like that they aren't distressed which tends to make them look old faster. I agree that they have a brown tint and not much grey. They are comfortable to wear.

Simple but cute on. Like that they aren't weirdly distressed. I got the gray , definitely on the brown side. Toe room for my slightly wide foot. Comfortable.

These were pretty cute but the sizing is weird so they are going back. They were too short in the toes and too wide all over.

I was very disappointed in the quality of the boots shipped. Poorly sewn seams and scruffs on the backs and toes of these Born boots. Honestly they looked like they'd been worn. As for the fit - the right boot heel counter was too tight and cut into my heel. For the price of these boots $135.00 I would expect much better quality of workmanship. Very dissatisfied.

Loved the boot, especially the color. Returned, however - Born seems to run a little small, maybe half a size, on me.

These are so cute and comfortable. I am normally a a9. I ordered both the 9.5 and the 9. With Born shoes I usually need to size up. The 9.5 was better. I didn't have an issue with the zipper. I bought the green, but would get other colors too.

These are the most comfortable boots I've worn! I have two different colors. I'm new to short boots and was apprehensive about how they would feel on my ankles. However, these boots are soft and do not rub at all. I'm impressed with the comfort and like the worn look and feel of the leather. Impressive boots! :)

These fit perfect. I love how they look and feel. A minor issue is that the zipper doesn't have a tall enough inner flap, so I feel it, but I hope that goes away with time. My ankles are pretty sensitive, being swollen all the time, and they are pretty thick. So, if you have skinny ankles, you will be fine!

These fit well right out of the box. I thought that they might rub and cause blisters at my ankle but after wearing them I was fine. They seem to be softening up after only a few wears. Super cute and pretty comfortable.

I think these booties are cute. They go on easy and are very comfortable. I needed to go up half a size for a good fit. There is absolutely no lining. Im thinking if you want to wear these in the winter you'll need to go up a full size to allow for thick socks.

Well-made boot, but too short! Will have to return and reorder. Inconsistent sizing within manufacturer & category - makes no sense!

I've got lots of compliments on these. They are possibly not as cushiony as I'd like and feel a little "sloppy."

Very cute and fun. The green is just what I was looking for. However, if you are looking to wear socks, go a full size up. I'm 6 but to fit my wide feet I do 6.5 when the 6W is not available. This style was way too tight, no space for my toes, I first tried them with socks and it was impossible to get my feet in; at the end, my feet made it without socks, but got no space on the front of the shoe.

I wear an 8 or 8.5 medium or sometimes wide. I bought these in an 8, medium of course because Born does not offer in a wide. They fit pretty true to size, but if your is a little wide on the ball of the foot they may be a little snug. Mine are fine without socks, but hoping they soften up & loosen a little as I wear them so I can wear them with socks.
I'd also recommend:
Not many brands out there that are a little wider across the ball of your foot.

I ordered this and tried it on, it just doesn't feel right in the toe box, nice looking shoe but this pair was not comfortable on my feet. I work at school and need a shoe that will keep my feet happy all day long.
