Runs super small. Usually wear a 9.5 so ordered a 10 to be safe but was so short had to go up to an 11. Not the most comfortable shoe but love the unique velvet print.

Like several others said, this shoe runs small. I wear a 7 or a 7-1/2, and never in a slip on shoe like this have I needed the larger size but I did with this one. I ordered the cherise color first in the smaller size, and unfortunately it has to go back. The color is gorgeous. I now have the black, which is also cool. The photo is very accurate. The shoe seems like it's well padded but could rub in a few places.

I love the style of this Born shoe. I bought the luxia linen color and am very pleased. Dress up or dress down - goes with so much. The shoe fits true to size.

This is one cute and comfortable ballet flat. The pointed toe makes a nice line and the polka dots are the cherry on the sundae. You'll love them.

I love this beautiful paisley shoe! The fabric is beautiful and seems durable after several wears. Great with skinny jeans that show them off. I receive complements ever time I wear them. More support than a typical ballet flat. I usually wear 8N but since these do not come in narrow the 7.5 worked for me. I wish there were more pointy toed flats to choose from.

I love this shoe and after reading some reviews, I ordered a 10 as most said they ran small, and the 10 seems just a smidge too big. a difficult call... I got these and another pair of red wedge heels, and contemplated returning these as will not get nearly as much wear out of them, but they are unique and pair well with a lot, so they remain in my closet. they do make it out of the closet on my feet more often than the red wedge heels... So, it was a good call.

Really cute in person, and nicely made. However, they run so small! I usually wear a 7.5, maybe an 8, and the size 8s I ordered fit more than a size small! They're going back, but I ordered them larger -- and two more pairs in other colors as well. Hope they feel good because they're nice shoes!

These shoes were very cute, but the pointed toe was very narrow and uncomfortable on my feet. They had moderate support, but I was expecting more since I already own several Born flats that were very supporting and comfortable.

Cute shoes, I thought they were true to size. I bought a a half size up after reading the reviews but felt I didn't need to. Should buy Dr Scholl's rub relief, and place it around the heel. I had some irritation and blister around my heels.

This hat is so classy! Customer Service found it for me after the 1st hat I ordered (Violin Solo) was not the color described. Violin Solo was listed as gray but the color is green heather with a gray band & piping. I asked Customer Service if there was a way to check if Macey was truly a gray. Well, my "personal shopper" at Zappos confirmed the Macey was gray - she zoomed in on both hats & saw a distinct color difference. Wow, I love calling Zappos! My hat arrived the next day & it is perfect. Zappos makes my day & I agree with the box "Packed with Happiness."

Hat is very nice. Brim edge of was well finished. Brim is wide, making it good for sun protection, but susceptible to wind.
