The one shoe I received felt pretty comfortable and I probably would have held on if Zappos had sent a matching pair. Unfortunately I was sent two right shoes in two different styles...so that didn’t really work out too well.

Easily my favorite shoes. I own two pair. My regular size is 8.5 but I got these in a 9, so consider a 1/2 size larger than your usual. They are tight at first, but as real leather they should be tight at first and then break in. Very comfortable after you wear them a few days. I have worn them a few times a week for several months. Casual enough for jeans, and nice enough for work - I get complements regularly.

I should have read the reviews before I ordered a pair. Because they definitely do run 1/2 size smaller. The other reviews are not a lie.

I read in the reviews to go up a size in these shoes. These shoes look like a size 10 when they arrived and I ordered a size 8 and 1/2. I am exchanging them for a lmy normal size 8 but I'm concerned even those will be too large. There was at least an inch at the back of my heel on the 8 1/2.

Size and fit are as advertised. Leather uppers are supple. Soles are a bit grippier on our hardwood floors than I am used to, but OK. Color and styling? My family say my feet look 20 years younger. Wish Børn made caps -and face masks.

I love these shoes. I wore out my last pair that lasted several years. They really stretch out, so you will want them pretty snug. I normally wear a 10.5 to 11 shoe but I order a 10 in this shoe. My foot is somewhat narrow though. Overal great quality shoe.

Typical Born quality. Very nice looking can be worn with jeans as dressy casual. Very comfortable.

I have a pair of these that is at least 5 years old that I loved. The new pair purchased on the site are a little darker brown and with a different sole, but still the same great comfort of a Born shoe. I am so happy you had these for me to buy again.

Like others have said, they run at least a half size smaller than labeled. Comparing to a pair of Tommy Bahamas, I wasn't impressed with the quality of the leather, or the support. The leather use in these seemed really lightweight and thin.

Fits right in the toe but super loose at the top of the foot. Looked and felt like a slipper when I walked in them.

Great overall shoe; super soft, cushy insole; last long time even for teen boys; runs large, go one whole size down

I only tried them on quickly and was wearing sports socks at the time. They were snugger than other shoes, but I imagine they were designed for no socks. They seem comfortable enough to wear without sock, but I will probably use no-show socks till I'm sure.

Great. Very nice looking shoe at good price and quality. Very comfortable. Only concern is that this “driving shoe” style seems to get worn in the toe area too quickly. The style does not bring the sole past the toe, so experience is that the wear in this area is out of balance. But I like the look.

Extremely comfortable. These are my go-to shoes for just about every non-business occasion.

Most comfortable shoe I now own. This will be my go to for casual and dress. Great support. Leather and stitching appears to be worth far more than what I paid. Very happy with this shoe.

the site indicated these ran small so I ordered 1/2 size larger for my husband. He indicated they were too big so we will be returning this item.
