sole

The insoles are basically a thick memory-type foam (not quite), so not a ton of support

Finally, you have to air these shoes out by taking the insoles out and letting things dry overnight.

They don't breathe all that well as they're leather, and moisture collects under the insole.

On the same one I repaired, I found the footbed to be wet and falling apart a few weeks after I got them.

I pulled the pieces out, and found actual puddles of moisture in the waffled interior of the soles.

The leather on this seems very thin, as well as does the soul.

I am on construction sites daily and seem to be able to feel every piece of gravel through the soul.

genuine-leather

I think the tightness also contributed to my ripping a small tear in the leather at the V in the back at the top of the heel.

waterproof

washing

thin material

First, the leather/suede uppers are exceedingly thin material.

professional

A casual look with just enough something that they can be worn for business casual at work.

work casual

comfortable

but they're still the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned, and are part of my self care left over from my COVID psychosis.

First, these shoes are awesomely comfortable and look great paired with jeans.

Once they're on, they're fine and very comfortable.

wear

I love these so much, I'm wearing my first pair into the ground wearing them almost daily during COVID, with my second pair just now getting broken in (still love the first pair), and I just ordered my third pair, which will live in the closet for a while until I need them.

That's not been a problem in the year+ I've been wearing them,

They're my favorite, and I wear them all the time.

Feel cheap
I almost always wear this brand of shoe and decided to spend the extra bucks to buy THIS shoe since other Born products seemed nicely constructed.
