Customer Reviews Born Temple II

In a previous review, I said I had bought 1/2 size up as recommended by other reviewers. They were still too small, so I returned them and ordered a full size up from my usual size. They have arrived, I've worn them for a full day, and they are comfortable. A nice bit of cushioning in the sole, and a tiny bit of support -- nothing like a good running shoe, but better than most casual shoes. There's room for warm socks. I think $124 was a lot to pay for a pair of casual shoes, but when I was a kid, a loaf of bread was 25 cents. The shoes appear to be well constructed, and I hope they last a few seasons. Am satisfied, and look forward to shopping Zappos / Børn again.

Love, love the look and feel of these boots! Did buy a half size larger as recommended by other reviews. They fit perfect with room for socks. How can you not love the Born brand? Always high quality and comfortable.

love the styling, comfort and quality of this shoe! As most people said in their reviews, i had to size up a half size. but returns are no problem at Zappos, so the shopping experience was great.

Love the wide toe box and no slippage in the heel

sorry- i didn't try these on. just wanted to show the color of the shoe although the laces are not an accurate color (more orange than yellow) in my photo! the rest of the shoe looked more like a rust color on my iphone so i'm returning.

The bootie is absolutely beautiful and fits perfectly. The quality of workmanship is outstanding for the price.

I ended up with a half size larger than I usually wear, but I like room to wiggle my toes. I am practically living in these boots. So comfortable, supportive and stylish. Compliments everytime I wear them.

LOVE these shoes. Not a summer shoe. It's made of thick leather. I ordered up 1/2 size for length, and wear it with medium thick socks. It's a roomy width, perfect. Nice cushioning in the sole. Was surprised and pleased with how warm the shoe is. The style is perfect for casual wear. My go-to shoes for walking the dog on dry days. I would not wear them in the rain -- not advertised as waterproof. Might order a 2nd pair! Comfiest leather shoes I've ever owned.

I am a hard customer to please..... not because I'm a grouch, but because I have had a few surgeries on my left foot from a serious break. That being said, I now shop for comfort, and try to get some style in there, too. These boots check both categories!! They are very comfortable, and I LOVE that I can get lots of style and details in a casual boot. I do recommend these Born Temple II boots. Very nice!!

These were super cute, and the blue color is really nice. I’ve always loved Born shoes and boots because they run true to size, have great arch support, and are comfortable right out of the box with no break-in needed. Unfortunately, these had none of those characteristics. I bought my usual size, but they felt tight and stiff, and were uncomfortable to walk in and had no arch support, so I had to return them.

was shopping for them, 1 website said ran true to size, another said ran half size small. Opted for true size but did in fact run half size small. returned for bigger size

After reading other reviews I ordered a larger size. I wear 8-8.5, ordered 9. Seems to be a good fit. Love the wide toe box.

Soooo cute! Great with jeans. Got them in brown and navy.

This is my second pair that I've ordered, and I love these shoes. I get compliments every time I wear them. I bought these in the red color. LOVE THEM! :)

These are great shoes and are comfortable !

Absolutely love these boots! I normally wear a 9 or 9 1/2. Ordered 9 1/2 and have plenty of room. They were comfortable right out of the box. I receive compliments every time I wear them. Another plus is they don’t make my feet look big!

These booties are comfortable and will be a great casual option. They are unique with the lower laces and offer more options for narrow feet.

I love these boots. However, after wearing them once in slush, my feet were soaked. I am so disappointed that they are not water resistant. How can winter shoes let in so much water?!?

Uncomfortable on my feet.

I own several pairs of Born boots and this is the first pair that did not fit me. I also did not like the lacing. It appears to vulnerable to repeated pulling.

I had ordered one pair 1/2 size larger then I normally wear based on reviews. It fit well and I loved them, however after one month of gentle wear, the leather separated from the sole. Zappos made it easy to exchange them, however the new pair, same size, was much too small. Too much of a headache with these shoes, so I returned them and looking for something else.

These are the most comfortable shoes I own. They look sharp with all styles clothing and are very versatile. I got the Dark Red and they’re beautiful. The fit is perfect. I’ll buy again.

Oh I love them!! 1st pair of Bórn shoes. You know you have a great shoe when you put them on immediately and don’t want to take them off.

Feels good

These boots are comfortable right out of the box! As with my other Born boots, there is no need to break them in. I tried them on and I didn’t want to take them off. I wear a 6.5 and they fit perfectly. I was thrilled to get a pair of Born boots on sale. They’re really cute boots and the arch support is great. The color brown is perfect! I love them!
