Customer Reviews Born Solstice

I have wanted a pair of slip on sneakers for months, but couldn't seem to decide which ones. After a ton of research, I finally went with the Born brand, which works the most often for me. I love the stacked look of these, the larger bottom white edge makes them both look and feel substantial, but they're not heavy like the stacked Vans or Halogen brands feel. There was no break-in time, which is also a key issue for me. I don't think shoes at this price point should require that at all. The support is definitely moderate, but the insoles also are removable so I can use orthotic ones if I choose. Surprisingly, this shoe also runs true to size, although as some reviews have pointed out, they are a bit narrow. I'm definitely between a 9 and a 9.5 in Born sizing, so I started with the 9s and they felt far too narrow. The 9.5 is roomier and surprisingly not necessarily longer. I like the perforated style, and can still wear a slim white sock with them. They look so great with everything! I'm thrilled to finally have stylish slip-ons and would definitely recommend.

I've tried two sizes now, but both are a bit narrow for my C width foot. They both look ridiculously long, too. Cute shoes, but not right for me.

I found these to be true to size, for my size 9 B/C width feet with a high arch, wider forefoot and narrow heel. I removed the insole and replaced with a full length orthotic and still found the shoe to be comfortable without a sock. I don't know whether it will be overly warm in the heat of the summer, but the open mesh should help with cooling.

The stretchy upper felt like it would be comfortable, though the higher cut over the instep made it a little harder to pull on. However the shoe was so narrow I didn't bother a to try the left one on. Also seemed very long. Not a good fit for my B/C width feet. Had to return.

Love the Born brand, but this style rubbed the back of my heel:(

I wear 7.5m or 8m in my many pairs of Born shoes. This style I decided to go 7.5m and the fit is PERFECT! Unlike many of the reviews, I did not find this shoe to be long or narrow. If you are thinking of purchasing this shoe I would go down half a size. Great looking Slip-On tennis shoe. I bought the blush and now I’m going to purchase the black.

Really wanted to be able to keep these - pretty dove grey color and like the stretch. Unfortunately, once I put my orthotics in, my heel slipped out. Otherwise, I would have kept them.

Perfect summer slip on sneaker.

These are great. Bought the navy in a 9, which is my true size. I have no trouble with the length or the width. I love that I can wear them without socks if I want. Very comfortable and Stylish. Just ordered in the black too. Looks great with jeans and workout wear. I have found no fit issues with the shoe. My foot is normal width, not at all wide. You must get a pair.

I usually wear a 7.5, sometimes an 8. I first ordered these in the blush in the 8. The color is more tan than pink. I love the look of the shoe and it provides great arch support but my heel came out of the size 8. I sent them back & ordered a size 7.5 in the black. They almost fit, just to tight in the toes. I need a 7.75! Really cute shoes & very comfortable, I wish they fit my feet.

Fingers crossed, with a half size adjustment I think we have a winner! These shoes are so cute, light weight, a nice deep shade of navy, and COMFORTABLE. They run small though. I've just ordered an 8.5 and I am 99% sure that will give me the perfect length. Super well made. So glad I learned about this brand from another reviewer!

Most comfortable shoe I’ve worn in a slip on. Lighter than most in its class. Love them!

I cannot give these shoes a low mark. I have a difficult foot and I did everything I could think of to make this shoe work - inserting my orthotics, etc. I finally gave up and returned the shoes. I highly recommend the shoe though. They would go with pants, crops, jeans, and shirts. Perfect for traveling or around the town. Just not perfect for my feet.

These are very comfy. Just a tad more narrow than most Born, but not uncomfortable for my foot. Great little slip-ons for running errands. They look really cute in black. And I ordered the blush color, but it was kinda blah, chose to keep the grey for a good neutral.

I absolutely love these shoes. I've recently developed intense arch pain and have to use insoles. I almost wish I could keep Born's insoles in because they seem so comfortable, but I was able to put my own insoles in without a problem. These shoes are a great solution for when I just can't wear sandals (very few have enough support to be comfortable) because they're so breathable and don't get smelly like many slip-ons do. I've had some chafing issues in the heel, but that's normal when you break in shoes in the heat. Definitely recommend these shoes!

Love this really cute casual shoe so much that I have them in navy and blush. Will probably get them in grey as well. Looks really cute with shorts, capris, casual skirts and jeans! An all around great shoe!

I was hoping these would fit because they are lovely and I need a comfortable shoe for traveling; however, they were too large. I need a smaller size.

LOVE!!!! These shoes are a gorgeous color. The 1 1/4 sole lengthens your legs. They are very comfortable right out of the box. I've been wearing them everywhere. Look great with jeans, but also black tights. I highly recommend these shoes. I just ordered my husband some Born slip ons with the hope that they will be this perfect for him.

Very comfortable and stylish. I’m not sure if the white outsoles will catch dirts easily though

If I could give these 6 stars I would ! Wore them right out of the box all day. They are true to size. I used them with my custom orthotics the heel has a lot of cushion , material gives a little. Absolutely no breaking in. I got two compliments on them within the first hour. I got the grey, highly recommend!

Love these shoes. They fit great and look fantastic. So pleased.

Love these shoes. Walking can be a Chaka get and these shoes give me the support that I need and they look great doing it. I recommend them.

This is a terrific looking shoe; on trend and great color of navy. I am returning it as I have a very high instep and the shoe, while the correct size and fit (I'm an 8.5M and the shoe is too) it is cut just high enough to really squish the skin on my foot. If you have a high instep this is probably not your shoe. Not a good look on my foot.I am so sorry as everything else about this shoe is perfect, including the price. Looks like more than $90.

Just received these today and tried them on. Wow! They are very comfy and spongy. Really feel good. Can't wait for spring to wear these. Thanks for your great service. Love Zappos!!

Cute shoe. Just not a comfortable fit for my foot.
