Ordered these as a replacement for similar Born's that had run down heels. They fit as expected. I like the buckle that allows me to tighten the strap since I have narrow feet.

These are not my first pair of borns, but it is the first time I've ordered them from Zappos. And I absolutely love them if you're on the fence get off the fence and try a pair you won't regret it

Needed a new pair of Clogs for back to school, and saw these, and had to have them. I love Born shoes, and find them very comfortable.I wear a 7 to 7 1/2 and bought the 8 because I wear medium weight Smart Wool socks underneath. When I first put them on, I was not disappointed. Saving for September.

I loved the leather and the look, but where the leather upper was fastened to the sole at the instep, there was a bump that was very painful. Regretfully I have to return them. I am attaching two photos, one of the clogs I am returning and another of Born sandals that show the uppers attached properly to the soles. Both shoes are supposed to be 40, medium but I think the differences are quite apparent.

I had a different pair of "Born" clogs that I wore for like 12 years, that I absolutely loved but they had seen better days and I prayed that these I ordered would be just as good. These clogs/shoes are beautiful and so comfortable. They seem true to size and width and I have been wearing them since they came in the mail. I love them and am very pleased with the short time it took to get them and I am completely happy with my purchase!!

I like the look and the fit, but the right shoe has something hard inside and it hurts the top of my foot. It could be just this particular shoe, and I'm still deciding if I should keep them, return them, or try another pair. I wear 7,5 and usually go with 8 in clogs.

I had to size-up a full size to 11 medium on this clog to allow my foot to sit properly inside on the foot bed. I normally take a size 10 medium, and this clog doesn't come in wide widths so I sized-up instead of trying to size-wider. These are beautifully made clogs, and they feel great on while walking. The quality of unmistakable, and I love looking at them they're so pretty. I also bought a few Clarks clogs to use instead of Dansko clogs for cooking but instead of sizing-up I sized-wider since Clarks are sometimes available in wide sizes. I ended up with size 10 wide with Clarks' models Delana Amber, Marion Coreen, and Patty Tanya (which I use as a bedtime slipper).

If you've worn Born shoes before, then you know they are comfortable right out of the box! Love these! I needed a new pair of clogs as my others were both old and worn so went again with a Born..so glad I did as you can always depend on classic styling and the same fit.

While these shoes fit and looked fine, I just didn't love them. I also purchased the Born Toby Duo and liked them better, so I sent these back. I also felt like I had to keep my foot "pushed" into the shoe to prevent it from coming off when I walked.

I finally had to replace my very old clogs, and these Born Avoca clogs were a great choice. I never knew clogs could be this comfortable -- they are well-padded and just the right amount snug so my foot doesn't slide around and increase my chance for tripping (like my old pair did). I'm glad I heeded the advice of one reviewer who recommended sizing up if you wear thicker socks, like I do. I purchased the chocolate brown color which is lovely, and now I'm considering getting a second pair in black!

Born--can't beat the comfort. I almost exclusively wear Born or BOC shoes now that I'm older and comfort wins over trendy. Used to wear 4" stilettos, not anymore. I have a closet full of wedge shoes now, because I can walk in them all day. Love, love, love Born.

I love these shoes. However, the left shoe has a squeak with every step. Kind of sounds like a duck quacking. The fit is awesome and the shoe is very comfortable, so I will be keeping them. I thought I would just give you a heads-up on the squeaking :) Strange.

I've been wearing this style Born for years. They're so comfortable I can forget I have them on, and they last forever! They are also really helpful with some foot problems I've developed recently from other less friendly shoes. They are my "go to" shoes -- I have them in several different colors.

I ordered a half size up and love these shoes!!! So comfortable and almost and I mean almost look like a cute bootie. I had been looking at a Birkenstock clog but found it to be a bit cavemanish for me. I love my Arizonas but the clog was just not working for me. Always had good luck with Born s and these did not disappoint. Will be ordering another pair in a different color. Stay safe everyone!

Awesome!! Have been searching for years!! My favorite shows finally died after 15 years and spent the last 3 years trying to find a replacement. The height is perfect and the arch support is even in the right spot. Usually either one or the other is wrong but this show have me both. Got 2 pair of the black and 1 pair of reddish brown. Tried the cognac in a size larger just to be sure about the fit but when I went to exchange for the correct size---SOLD OUT!!! I am devastated!! That's what always happens- find the perfect show and then they are gone..

I already have these in black and love them, so decided to order the navy. They are such a dark color they look almost identical to the black. I will probably return them. Otherwise, they are very comfortable and fit my size 9 foot well. The heal is not too high and the sole is very cushy yet supportive. I had other Born clogs (the Marley) that I wore until they were completely worn out. I liked the way the Marley looked better than these, but these will be a satisfactory replacement since they are even more comfortable.

These are the most comfortable clogs I have ever had. They are not as heavy as most and fit my foot like a glove.

My girlfriend purchased these shoes and was disappointed to have to return them. The bridge of the shoe was too tight over the bridge of her foot not allowing her to insert her foot all the way into the shoe. She thought the shoe is beautiful and would have looked lovely on her foot. Had the bridge of the shoe been more generous, the shoe would have fit properly.

I love these. they are very comfortable. I wear an 8.5 so the 9 was too big but the 8 though snug fit better.

As a rule, Born shoes fit perfect, but this clog felt a little smaller than usual w/heel hanging off the back of the clog.

Very nice clog. They run true to size so do not upsize. Ran a little wide but I have a narrow foot. Fit fine with a sock. Would recommend.

These seemed to fit well and I really wanted to keep them, but the leather was stiff and it seemed to hit my arch wrong and was tight on my bunion. (I have horrible feet!) The leather would probably have loosened up and been ok, but I have too many shoes in my closet that I thought would and didn't that I decided I did not want to take the chance on them,
