Customer Reviews Born Bessie

Awesome boots! They fit great in my usual size 8. I was afraid the toe would be tight because they're a bit "pointy" but it's very comfortable. I have a very high arch and usually find boots are hard to fit me but these are absolutely perfect! I would definitely buy them again!

I started to develop plantar fasciitis in July not knowing what it was. It worsened because I wasn’t equipped with the right footwear. It’s been a struggle to find booties I can use my own Superfeet insoles in and these worked great. The description doesn’t say that the footbed is removable, but it is and I’m so excited to be able to wear shoes on dates that aren’t my Asics. They are comfortable and Born’s rubber sole and heel make them ideal for anyone who need support, especially city dwellers. Thanks Born!

These boots are amazing. I have never written a review before but after wearing these two days straight while visiting Chicago, I felt I had to write a review. They are definitely on the wider side (if you have a narrow foot, they may feel a little wide). The cushioned sole made it feel like I was walking on clouds. By far the most comfortable boot I have ever worn!

These boots are a gem for me ! I have a major problem finding comfortable yet fashionable shoes/boots ~ Mostly bc I need a big roomy toe box, and most everything rubs or hurts. When I purchase everyday footwear I like to be able to walk a mile in it without focusing on foot pain. I think these cuties fit the bill! Great western look, rubber outsole and just all around fabulous!.

These are CRAZY comfortable. I don't know what is the difference between these and other Born boots, but they feel like slippers. I am not sure I want either of the colors....If I could make different colors I'd buy six pair one in each! They are fantastic. I am a little wide across the ball of the foot and narrow everywhere eles and they do not hurt anywhere. <3

I seem to be in the minority, but I can't give these boots the raving reviews as some others have. At first they felt comfortable because of the cushiony insoles. But after a couple hours I started feeling foot pain. Not excruciating, but they just did not feel like "comfort shoes" and I was looking forward to getting them off. When I did get home after a few hours of running errands in them, I experienced weird leg and knee and hip pain, which I am connecting to these boots. I was both surprised (because Born is known for comfort and they did feel like pillows at first) and disappointed (was really counting on these to be perfect for my upcoming Europe trip). As far as the style goes, they look really wide on, like I had bulbous feet or something. And the suede looks a little cheap, kind of fuzzy. These Just didn't work for me, but since I wore them I'll have to keep them. On chance it was just a bad first day wearing them, I will update if the comfort improves, should I decide to give these one more try.

These are great. I have SUPER picky feet (high arch, wide toe box) and I wore these for a 13 hour shift as a hairstylist right out of the box.

If you have very skinny ankles like I do, these booties are a rare find - they are comfortable and stylish-looking great even on someone with skinny legs and ankles (unlike most other booties that make my feet look like clown feet in proportion to the ankle size). I usually wear sizes between 7.5 and 8 (depending on a shoe). 7.5 fit great lengthwise. The width could be just a tad wider for a perfect fit (on me), but I was afraid that the wide version would be too wide in the foot and ankle too. So, regular width will have to work. The boots are very comfortable (soft! Great comfortable heel and sole). Even a snugger (in width) fit is comfortable enough for me to be happy about this purchase! If any of the manufacturers are reading this, please make more styles for skinny ankles :-) Also, a quick shout out to Zappos for great shoe selection and unsurpassed shipping and returns services. I love shopping at Zappos.com!

Very comfortable and stylish. Two salespeople in Nordstrom commented on them and asked what the brand was. They do run just bit on the narrow side, but I would say ‘on the bubble’. If you have a high arch and wider feet, definitely size up.

These boots were sooo comfortable right out of the box! They have a nice padded insole! Love the color too!

I'm getting a lot of use out of these shoes. I wear them several times a week, usually with jeans, and they look nice. There was no breaking in period and they seem like quality shoes. Time will tell. One more thing. They tend to scruff very easily. They arrived with some marks on them but when they are on it's hard to see them.

Ok. So I am a 68 year old grandmother who thought she could never wear booties with heels ever again. That darned bunion really limited my boot choices (mainly Cliffs White Mountain tall boots). I started seeing women my age wearing cute stylish boots and I wanted a pair. Took a chance on these and I am in heaven!!! So comfortably adorable, chic and goes with jeans, skinny pants, leggings. No pain and I feel 10 years younger wearing them. Might ask my husband for another pair for Christmas. Yay Borne!!!

Comfortable, stylish, somewhat supportive and they also provides ample room for toes. I am either a 8 1/2 or 9 and I bought the 9 to allow for socks. I have problem feet - bunions, overpronation due to a foot injury, so comfort is the main reason for choosing shoes. However, the side shoelace holes tore and I need to have them repaired which is expensive. The side ties are necessary for me to keep my foot secure in the boot.

The majority of my boot collection are Born and these will join the team. I like the styling and the navy suede is really rich looking. It is difficult to find navy in a shoe or boot that has this quality. Also, I appreciate a shorter heel since tall girls don't always want tall heels.

These are the most comfortable pointed toe boots I put on my feet in 15 years. I have no idea what born dead to them but they are actually almost cushy inside. I have worn a size 7 for most of my 59 years, but returned them because they were too big. As I was packing up the box I noticed the European size 38 on the side. I can never wear a 38. I didn’t think much more about it and pack them up and send them away and didn’t find booties. About a week later I was wearing something that I realized I could’ve dressed up a lot with these shoes and decided to order the 6.5 which are euro size 37, and often a size that fits me… Along with euro size 36. These fit perfectly and I am thrilled. My husband who is not into shoes says “it’s a good looking shoe”. I ordered a full suede care kit, as they are light colored and I’m using a suede brush suede protectant and a suede eraser to take care of them.

Disappointed with the fit of this shoe.. stiff, narrow and too tight at the ankle.

First off! Oh my gosh! I couldn’t believe these could possibly be comfy because I have been disappointed so many times! These are a dream! They are edgy, sexy and so comfortable! I have plantar fasciatis and turf toe so it’s so hard to find shoes that don’t hurt my feet! I’m ordering them in every color possible.

Born is my go-to shoe. Consistency in fit, material - always great leather and detail. From toe to heel as pictured. Thank you Born - overall pleased with this purchase - wish it was a little less pricey.

I ordered a standard ladies seven which is what I wear and they fit great! They have the styling somewhat like cowboy boots. They have great arch support and they do not feel like a really high heel but they have enough of a heel to be a bit dressier than a flat or low heel. I can dash across the street in these and not turn my ankle or be wobbly.

Love these Born Boots!!! This is my 5 pair to purchase.. I have to order a size larger. I normally wear a 10.

Love this bootie! I wear and ordered a 7.5M and it's perfect! I have a wider foot and my toes usually get squished in cute pointy shoes but this bootie has a little more room in the toe box and feels wonderful. Color is vibrant and makes a great statement with jeans and other colored pants. They are flexible, comfy which would usually mean not so fashionable, but these do it all!

Love these booties! I struggle with finding the right fit, heel height and style. These are super comfortable straight out of the box. Wore them all over the Bay & Napa area last week - LOTS of walking; even wore them on our flight home. I typically wear either a 9 or 9.5 in boots or shoes; ordered the 9 per prior reviews and wear with a regular sock (not thick). Great arch support. Got them in Distressed Taupe - they look awesome with blue jeans. I did have a problem with the lacing holes on one of the boots pulling/tearing apart, I didn't feel any tug just noticed the boot felt loose. The leather in that area was pretty thin, so I reordered to replace. I may get more colors!

Generous fit and very comfortable! Good cushion on the inside bottom. Easy to get on and off. The style is nice with the side design, and the color should be great with jeans. I plan to spray the suede to protect it.

Wow, super comfortable even with the pointed toe! Plenty of room for my toes without squishing them. I ordered size 6 and they feel true to size. They are very cushioned inside and feel great. I wasnt looking for a western style bootie and would have preferred a block heel but after reading the positive reviews I decided to give them a try. I am keeping them due to the cushioned comfort and color (navy). They look cute with skinny jeans which is mostly what I wear.

Comfy right out of the box! Love the style. Very versatile. Looks great with jeans or with a more dressy outfit.
