text: While I normally wear a size 9 in Born shoes, these did not fit as any others have. The shoes were too short, and the toes too narrow. I also noticed that the arch was in the center of my foot...NEXT to the arch, not even in the correct location. I was very disappointed. It seems that Born has gone down in quality the last few years. The fabric they use to line the shoe seemed cheap and lacking in quality. Too bad, because Born gas been good for walking and standing, I guess I will have to start looking for another brand.
