Fit was great, true to size, I wear a 10, I ordered a 10. Material and quality of the boot was worth the money. I have never had issues with any Born products. They last and wear well.

Absolutely obsessed with this adorable Born boot! So cute and comfortable right out of the box! This boot does run at least a full size smaller! Looks great with jeans. I’m going to order more colors!

I had to size up from my normal 9 wide. They feel a little long in the toe box but it was needed. I get tons of compliments on these cute boots. I need to tie them often tho. Prob should just double knot them.

Love these shoes. Have worn them all winter. They have a flat crepe sole, so are not for snow & ice, but are perfect for all other conditions. I bought them a little large so I could add my own support insole beneath the Calyn insole. The shoes are all-day-comfortable and convenient. Step in and zip and go. I've gotten a lot of compliments on them, too, so I guess they're somewhat stylish or good looking. Super pleased and so glad I bought them.

This is a beautiful boot, very stylish with good support for the foot. I am returning it ONLY because it was a little too snug for my bunion. I would have loved to "make it work". The toe box was tight on one foot and I felt it would start to become painful. So sorry: beautiful boot!!

Love them! Super cute and comfy. I wear a size 7 and they are still comfortable with a slightly thicker sock. My new favorite fall shoe.

These will be my "go to" running errands boots. They go great with my army green jacket, but will pair with anything. Cute, fun, and durable.

I've had to go up a size in shoes this year due to an ankle injury and swelling. I've always worn size 9 so ordered size 10. On my uninjured foot the 10 feels and fits more like a 9. So I'd say in my case they run small. I have to say though they are very comfortable and do not rub or aggravate my ankle incision. Only thin socks so far.

Great looking boots! They are stylish without being outlandish. The size is true to my usual size of 8 when wearing moderate weight sox. A size larger would be better for heavy sox. It’s possible to make small adjustments with the laces, but they are primarily decorative. The side zippers by-pass the laces and make the boots easy off and easy on. They are comfortable, although there is virtually no arch support. Too bad they aren’t water resistant, but I guess some spray will help with that. All in all, I would definitely recommend these boots.

These boots are super cute. I'm a size 6, slightly wide - I ordered 6 in the dark red, and they fit perfectly, so comfy. Love the distressed leather with burnishing on the toes and heels, and the zippers on the inner sides make the boots easy to take on and off. Typical Born quality and details, such as the stitching around the back. Also, as always with Zappos, they arrived so quickly and in perfect condition. They're perfect !

Love the boots! True to size, and width. I have arthritic feet and planters fasciitis so I’m real picky about my shoes. They could use a bit more arch support and a just a little more wiggle room in the toe box area. The width is fine it’s the depth of the toe box. Someone with healthy feet probably would not notice this at all.

Runs 1/2 small. My size is 8 in shoes normally. In these I had to exchange for 8 1/2. Now they are so comfortable! Insole feels delicious, I do have a high arch and these provide enough support and with wearing will be even better. Easy to slip on. Stylish and fun! Look forward to using these for my go to winter boot… comfortable with medium wool socks.

I often have to go up a size because shoes are too narrow across top. Not necessary with these. Little worried about how the leather will hold up in Winter snows.

Color: If you are looking for a lighter brown boot, I would recommend this color. Size : Ran small - Order at least 1/2 size larger or one size larger if you have a wider foot. I wear an 8 in an open toe shoe but always size up for boots. This was a size 9 and they felt too small Comfort : Shoes were comfortable, but not super comfortable. I thought they needed more cushion but I have very boney feet, so it may not be an issue for others. Support: I have a flatter arch and the arch felt good to me. Someone with a high arch would probably not like like these.

I love the way these boots look and the good quality of the material. They’re comfortable enough but a bit stiffer than expected. I’m hoping they’ll break in since they’re leather but they definitely need to be broken in! They run small so I had to return them and go up 1/2 size. Now that I have the larger size they’re much more comfortable but still need to break them in. I’m expecting these will be my favorite shoes to wear everyday very soon!

A very cute ankle boot made of good quality leather with a great nonskid sole but not a hiking boot, a street and style boot. I good fall color in the brown, typical great Born construction and quality. My only qualification is that I did not care for the decorative leather shoelace and it made the look very casual and the length of the lace a tripping hazard. I had read in a previous review that the customer decided to remove the lace from the tiny loops and wear without. I do the same, but saved the lace in case I change my mind. The 4 tiny loops are a minor distraction, the look would be cleaner and dressier without but I feel it is a very small compromise and another customer might prefer the laced look.
