Comments about Born Persimmon:

I don't own these boots, although sometimes I wish I did. When I saw them in the store I loved the gorgeous cinnamon-brown color, the cute (and comfy) flannel lining, and the charming soles. They fit nicely around my calves, and when I walked around the store, it felt like I was wearing slippers.

The only problem was that the toe area looks like a duck bill to me. I am just vain enough that I couldn't buy them for that reason. Alas, they were the most comfortable shoes I have ever tried on. I hope they look better to you!

Comments about Born Persimmon:

Overall I really like these boots! They are beautiful and well-made. I also love the flannel lining. I've had trouble finding boots that fit my smaller calf. I started out with the Merrell Spire Peak, but the calves were HUGE so I decided to try these instead. While the calf is still big on me, they fit better than the Merrells and are pretty much perfect with jeans worn on the inside. I think part of the problem is they are shipped with a significant amount of cardboard/foam to keep the shape, but seems to also stretch them out. Overall, worth the price and a great tall, black boot!

Comments about Born Persimmon:

This boot is so cute, so comfortable and looks great with everything that I have put it with from jeans to skirts. Does run 1/2 size too big, but otherwise it is great.

Comments about Born Persimmon:

I've been looking for the perfect flat boot for a couple of years now and this boot fits the bill! It does run very big. I usually wear a 6.5 - 7. I ordered the 6.5 and found that the front of the boot was way too long. The 6 fits like a glove. It hugs my ankle and calf giving me a sleek look without being too tight. I can wear it with skirts or over skinny jeans. The leather is great quality and the lining makes it super warm. Seems like it will last for years![...]
