New Favorite boots! Love them! If they weren't so expensive I would get them in another color. Very well made and very comfortable for a heel. As others mentioned, they are a bit too skinny at the top to wear with jeans tucked in. Perhaps the skinny jeans would work for some. Could wear with long skirt.

Fabulous - These boots are super stylish. I even got compliments wearing them under pants as opposed to over skinny jeans. Nice support as well.

Wonderful boot - Great boots. Out of the box and wore for a good ten hours with no discomfort, I can not remember a boot fitting like this. I have worn them for business casual and with jeans out on a Sat. I wear mid calf skirts sometimes and these look good. They are not as pointed as I would have liked, they are very rounded and a bit wider than I like, I have other boots for a sleeker look with suits and business and evening wear.

Satisfaction - I ordered my usual size, 8 1/2, and received the boots in 3 days. They were a 1/2 size too big. I called to return them and reorder size 8. I had the new size in 2 days and the return was no problem. The boots look very stylish, I wanted something that would last and I know Born shoes are very well made, and I love the look and comfort.

Comfort and Style in a Boot - Love this boot. It is comfortable and can be work dressed-up or dressed-down. I am surprised that the reviews say that it runs small. For me, it runs very large. I usually wear an 8 (Euro 39, but in this I needed a 7 1/2 (Euro 38) and maybe even a 7 would have worked

Sad, but true - These are BEAUTIFUL boots!! The color in particular is gorgeous. Since I wasn't sure about the size I would need, I ordered three different sizes. Imagine my disappointment when none of them worked. There is something odd about the way your foot feels in this boot. There is no arch support at all - in fact, it was like the middle part of your foot never touches anything. I know this sounds nuts, but I have never experienced anything like it. I have sent back two of the three and may return the third. Still trying to decide if looks trump comfort! Normally I love Borns and have about seven different pair but these are just weird.

Heel looking little funky - The shoe looks very traditional, all leather, very classy. I was just not impressed by the heel; it looks like a mix between a cowboy boot heel and a regular stylish heel. The front is also little wider, so I recommend this for ladies with wide toes.

Lots of arch support (I have sort of flat feet) very comfortable, you can’t really tuck anything in them because it is not made that way (I wasn’t expecting that). Great with tights/leggings and dresses, also under dress pants and boot cut or lightly flared jeans.

Born for comfort - I cannot wear heels because they hurt my feet. I wear the brands Keen and Chaco for arch support but they are not at all feminine. These boots are beautiful and even better...comfortable. They have arch support and I ordered my exact size 9.5 and they fit perfect. Highly recommended.

The perfect boot! I bought this boot in both brown and black and am delighted with it. I have had friends try them on and they fell in love with it. It is long enough to wear with a long skirt for fall but can be worn with the new skinny jeans. It has a great steel arch support and a fabulous real suede lining. Do not buy it larger even if you typically buy larger for wearing it with socks. I put that it felt true to width but that means that it allows for room with socks and is still very comfortable with no tightness. My only wish is that it was 1/2 inch lower because I am on my feet all day, but when I put them on I feel like I am 10 years younger and ready for the runway!

Lovely Boots - Very comfy, although I did return the original pair and went up half a size. The boots are gorgeous and very comfortable. I have worn them a couple of times already and they needed no breaking in.

First, I like to say that I LOVE ZAPPOS! Great service...I received this shoe today and it is beautiful. My only regret is that I read the review and went ahead and ordered the boot a full size larger...I have to send it back because it is a full size too large...Order your normal shoe size. I will be ordering my regular shoe size this time...

Just a quick note to thank your staff for the excellent service on my most recent order. It is very hard for me to find shoes in my size in local stores and almost as hard online, and rarely with the follow up and quality of packaging you provided. I will certainly remain a customer and will tell others about your web site.
