My new favorite shoes! When I first tried these on I was disappointed. They felt tight all around. Then I realized my old favorite shoes (for dog-walking, errands, etc.) were no longer fitting well. I wore the Born shoes around the house, intending to try them for a half hour or so. I never took them off. They are totally comfortable, supportive, and fun to wear. I usually put my boiled wool sippers on shortly after I get home, but now I forget to, because these shoes are so comfortable.

I had to order a half size larger than I normally wear in Born shoes since the toe box was tight. Other than that, I love the quality and know they will last for several years.

OMG, I love these. I was disappointed with my first purchase because they do run small and, in particular, have a shallow toe box as noted by others but I ordered a larger size and now I'm so happy with them that I actually ordered them in another color. I'm usually an 8 or 8.5 or an 8W, depending on the shoe, but I needed a 9 in these. Really, really cute. I wish that I could get them in a third color.

Way too small at even a half size up for my normal size 7 foot. The toe box area is so squished. Wished they had these in a full size up rather than just a half size up. The sole of the foot for a flat shoe is comfortable and I wore them all day hoping they would stretch out, and only a little bit did they stretch. I like the look for a casual but dressier than tennis shoe look to khaki pants or shorts. You may be disappointed in the front of shoe unless you have really narrow feet.

Very cute shoe but not so comfortable for those of us who have big toes that slant up a little. The toe area pressed down and I know it would not be good for long wear.

I love these shoes. They're so comfortable & look great with jeans. I prefer slip-ons, but needed something with greater support for my feet. These fit the bill. I think Born runs about a size smaller.

The 7.5 was definitely too small. Maybe just too narrow rather than too short. A very comfy sole.

A great shoe, very comfortable. This is my 10th pair of Born shoes, and they did not let me down. They do run a little small, so I ordered a half size larger than I normally wear.

I love these shoes! I have semi-wide feet, so Born is a good brand for me. These are very comfy. If you are between sizes, I'd recommend buying up as the toes are a bit flatter than most tie shoes.

I love Born shoes! These are so cute and comfortable. As with all my Born purchases, these fit my feet really well and I appreciate the wider toe box.

Love 'em. These shoes are so cute and super comfortable. I have a pair of Born flats in an 8 1/2, but based on previous reviews, I ordered a 9 and they fit perfectly.

The shoes are a lot narrower than they look. I was expecting a chunky Doc Marten-like shoe, but these are thinner and lighter. They are still very cute, and very comfortable. I got a half size bigger based on reviews, and it's the perfect size. I would have been fine with even another half size up.

About a 1/2 size too small. Fit my left foot fine but was too shallow in the toe bed for my right foot. Will return and order 9.5.

Love these shoes! I had a hard time deciding what size to order after reading reviews on several sites. Finally went with size 9 (what I always wear) & had to exchange for 9.5. These shoes do run small/short in the toe area so I strongly recommend going up in size. I like them so well that I've been trying to find a pair in Umber Brown (no luck so far).

I love these shoes! It took me two tries to get the right size as they truly run a full size smaller than my typical shoe size. After reading reviews I ordered a half-size up but had to return the 8 for an 8 1/2, and I normally wear a 7 1/2. They are so comfortable that I never want to take them off, even around the house. And they are so cute! So glad I found them.

Love these shoes. They are so cute and I feel so stylish in them. They do run slightly small, but they are still comfortable. The bottom cushion is so comfortable and supportive. I like them so much I bought them in brown.

Loved the style, but Born just doesn't fit right. It appears to be a really quality shoe, so I was sorry to have to return it.
