I have purchased this brand in the past and they never disappoint. The design is made to look more casual yet stylish and classy. The shoes are excellent quality; just keep them polished and clean and they will look new for years.Shipped quickly and they have that Børn high quality. I love them!I don’t like or dislike these shoes. Because I don’t wear them. Because they were a gift. Although I will say the person I bought them for wears them. I don’t like to pry whether someone like something or not because that’s just not my nature. I don’t follow people around with a clipboard saying “Now on a scale of 1 to 10 how happy are you with your gift from me?”. I think the fact that they wear them, and wear them often is proof enough.they are comfortable enough, so that's nice. I own a few other pairs that have all been great. for some reason this pair isn't as comfortable, and the leather...well, its pretty rough to say the least. the leather showed up looking pretty dry and kind of like cracking dirt. I have tried to condition them, but it hasn't helped, but a lot of the color seemed to come off. I then tried to polish them with a brown polish, the color only took in some areas, the other areas wont absorb. now they are left as sort of a light brown with dark brown splotches, and a sort of wild cracked spiderweb all over them.I love born shoes- including these. They’re comfortable and look great always. Never seen a pair come apart like this before, after six months. For this price it shouldn’t happen. I’d gladly pay $20 more for a shoe with proper stitching. Disappointing.Born has always made their shoes with quality leather, at the least, the styles I have bought. Their fit, comfort, and design are the best. I hope they continue to use leather, and keep up their present Stardard of excellence. This is my third pair of Born shoes.These are exactly what I expected them to beThis shoe fit and felt great! The problem really fell with me. The color wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. I actually put one of the shoes on twice trying to convince myself in to keeping them. I made the decision to return them.
