Born Shoes Adds Style and Fun to the Height of Comfort

Since 1995, the Born shoe company has sold their wares in the finest retail stores around the world. Because of the great style and comfort features, they appeal to customers both young and old. Born Shoes were initially created to fill a hole in the footwear industry. At the time, consumers could choose between comfortable shoes OR stylish ones, but nowhere to be found were shoes that combined both elements.

Born Shoes today continues to provide shoes that are the height of comfort, but also stylish and fun! Born builds comfort into every pair of its shoes using “Opanka” hand-sewing construction and the best materials available.  The resulting shoes are lightweight, flexible, and extremely durable.  The goal is to be as comfortable as walking in your bare feet.  Soft, flexible, and supple leather creates the uppers.  The foot is also cradled in shock-absorbent foam to cushion every step.

The style selection appeals to both men and women who love shoes which are both comfortable and stylish, and the diverse line of styles has shoes to suit everyone in their customer base.

Each pair of shoes in the Born line is created using Old World techniques, such as the patented process for hand-sewn construction.  Using the supplest leathers enables Born to sculpt designs down to minute details which ensure proper fit and superb style.  This is why Born calls every Born shoe a “Work of Art.”   This statement highlights the core Born philosophy.  Their shoes are all handcrafted by artisans using the fines quality materials as their artistic medium.  These artisans create shoes that are unconditionally comfortable, creatively styled, and exceptionally styled.

Born’s philosophy also takes note of a quote by Walt Whitman: “the art of art….is simplicity.”  They work to keep Born designs clean, natural, and most of all, simple.  They also are very keen on being certain that natural shape is the key focus of each of their designs, with a generous toe box that allows toes to move freely and air to circulate.

Born uses flexible and lightweight soles in each Born design to make sure the shoes are as comfortable as they are stylish. Polyurethane and rubber are common ingredients for the outsoles, both of which absorb shock and relieve stress on feet when walking or standing for long periods of time. Both materials are extremely durable, and rubber also adds superior traction to the footwear.  Add to that a thick layer of polyurethane foam for cushioning, which molds to the wearer’s foot, and it’s easy to see why these shoes are so comfortable.

A quick internet search for Born styles produces hundreds of different styles in the full range you don’t often see from comfort brands.   There are numerous styles of sandals, Mary Janes, loafers, clogs, athleisure shoes, and boots of all types for women.  Men’s styles include oxfords, boat shoes, loafers, boots, and sandals.  For children, Born designs are very limited for boys, with only fishermen’s sandals available.  Little girls, on the other hand, have a decent variety of ballet flats, clogs, Mary Janes, boots, and sandals to choose from.
