Customer Reviews Born Paloma

The fit was weird with a narrow toe box and uncomfortable bumps at the ends of each zipper. They were flat with no arch support.

Theses shoes are very attractive and the color is simply yummy...but this style seems better suited for someone with a narrower toe box. Zappos is the best place to shoe shop if you do have troublesome feet...they don't judge you and let you keep trying till you get it right...leaving me forever grateful.

Fit just right, super cute and comfortable for being on your feet for hours. High quality, as Born usually is.

The fit and comfort was nice. I didn't feel like these new shoes would give me blisters as most new shoes do. What I really didn't like about them was the color. Just too dark for me. Otherwise I love this shoe. The style with the two zippers on the sides for easy on and off. Born brand is a great brand of shoes.

I wanted to love these, they are so cute and I love the color. The toe box was just too narrow and they slipped on my heels. I tried them with thin socks and they ate them. I tried with thick socks and they still slipped on my heel.

The toe box area just doesn't fit. So many shoes are narrowed at the big toe area as was this pair. My normal size is 8.5/9 Medium. Sadly, neither the 9, nor the 9.5 in this style fit.

zippers and seams make uncomfortable on foot

I so wanted to like this shoe. Having worn Born before, I have found this brand to be so comfortable. This shoe just didn't fit my foot properly and was not comfortable like my last Born. Feel badly that I need to return.

Very small in the ball and toe of the shoe. Very pretty shoe but doesn't fit.

I love it when I buy a pair of shoes that fits to a T. Zappos you are great!

Perfect fit and size. Comfortable and stylish!!

Love these shoes and hoping they will stretch some. I've had several pairs of Borns in the past. These felt narrower across the ball of my foot and also shorter than my past ones of the same size.

I love these shoes. They are very well made. I have a similar pair by Born that I have worn for 5 years. They run narrow but that works for me. The zippers were very hard to zip so I took a little petroleum jelly on a qtip & lubed them.

They are a little snug and very stiff at first. After just a couple wears they have loosened up.

Very nice quality but a bit more clunky (wide) in appearance than I hoped.

these slip off the heel...and have no arch supoiert, otherwise they are well styled

I have to return this item even though I like the style. But, too big.

Shoes are super cute, but felt very narrow and smaller than marked size. I couldn't wear socks with them and get my foot in and I ordered a 1/2 size up! The heel area has very thick padding that gave some bad blisters. Hoping my feet adjust as I was ambitious and wore them immediately because they looked cute.

Really wanted to like these but the inside of the shoe was very uncomfortable. The heel dug into my heels and the inside where the zippers were sewn in was rough. I didn’t have the issue with the narrow toe box like others. True to size.

Cute, but terribly uncomfortable. The shoe pushes uncomfortably into top of foot. Sent back

Uncomfortable around ankle

I loved everything about this shoe - the color, the supple leather. But even though my size is a 9.5, this shoe felt tight. So much so, in fact, there was no room for socks. I regret having to return them. If they were available in a wider width, I think they'd work.

Heel was too loose -- blisters, blisters. It felt okay when I tried on the shoe but, with a little wear, it started to gap. A great-looking shoe but I'm distressed that I need to pad the back to wear it.

The shoe size runs large. I wear an 8 but show felt like a 9. Also, the longer I wore the shoes they kept getting wider. I found myself having to retighten the laces all day.

This is a very cute shoe and I really wanted to keep it. Unfortunately, it is not comfortable and I am returning. There is something odd about the toe box and it is very painful to my little toes.
