I love the look of these shoes. I usually wear an 8W and these are only offered in a medium width. They were too snug to keep. I went on the Born site and found the same pair in a wide width. I'm very hopeful.

Cute and comfortable booties. I got several compliments the first time I wore them. They will be my go-to casual black bootie for this season.

Great product that didn't fit me well. They were too tight for my toes, though long enough for my feet.

These didn't work for me, but they are nice booties. Looks like I can no longer wear Born's 11's. I need an 11.5, and unfortunately, Born's sizing stops at 11. These boots are cuter in person than in the photo, but they were just a bit too short for my toes. Fit is very similar to the Born Tora, which was also a smidge too short for me. Thank you Zappos for your generous return policy!!

This boot is so cute, but very stiff & uncomfortable. I could barely fit my normal sz 10 into their sz 10, I’ll stop trying.

The style and color are great! Sadly, for me at least, they are much shorter than their stated size. I’ve worn lots of Born shoes and boots but these didn’t fit. Even checked inside each boot to verify the size. The other problem was they had no arch support.

This boot is adorable to look at, but very wide. Did not fit my feet.

So stylish and cute, but way too narrow — not like the Born ankle-boots I got about 15 years ago, which fit perfectly. Darn!

I bought these from another website. They are cute but they were too short. I usually buy a size 9, three pairs of Borns, size 9. Bought these as a size 9 but my toes rubbed the end of boot. I sent them back.

Sizing is off. I typically wear a size 7.5 in most shoes. I liked the style and color but 7.5 was sloppy. Figured a 7 would be perfect but it was so tight it pinched my entire foot. Sadly I had to return both. If sizing works for your foot it is a cute shoe.

I ordered these for my daughter. She is returning because they rub her uncomfortably at the top.

I have several pairs of Born booties that are the more pointed toe style. They are really comfortable and I wear them constantly. I ordered these rounder-toed boots feeling reasonably confident that they would fit. I wear a size 11 and unfortunately these boots fit like a size 10...my toes were hitting the top of the boot! Very disappointing. I'm going to order the next size up and hope they work because I love the style.

I thought these would be more comfortable than they actually are. They are quite stiff and are rubbing an ankle bone. Still deciding. Very cute, though.

Should have listened to what others said--heel slips out and then it pulls the toes of your socks--like eating your socks. And they fit, but it must be the way they are made. They'd be great otherwise. I do love that look. If I can figure out a way to keep heel from slipping out when I walk, I'll keep. But otherwise, I might return.

Another Born boot I had to return due to fit. They are adorable and seem to be well crafted, but my heel nearly comes all the way out when walking and it's not something that would be remedied by a smaller size. Looks get an A+, but (for me) they fail in functionality.

I love this bootie but it is too wide and my foot slips when I walk. I tried thicker socks, which is not something I wanted to do since we have mild winters, but it made the bootie tight across the top of my foot. Just not meant for my feet but adorable and quality product.

As a few other reviews have noted, the heel of this boot was rather loose on me and my foot kept slipping out. For what it is worth, I do have rather narrow feet, so maybe it wouldn't be as much of an issue for others. A shame as it is a very cute looking boot.

These are said to be grey and they are definitely brown. I asked my family members and no one thought they looked grey. Bummer, very cool style but not the color described.

After 11 months the side of the shoe stitching came out!! so disappointed as this brand "was" my favorite. I only wore them as casual outings. I have another pair I wear for sporting. Will not be buying again. I have shoes 8 years old and still wear. So disappointed.
