BORN
Born shoes, also more commonly spelled as Born, is a brand of handcrafted footwear for men, including classic loafers and Oxfords, rugged lace-up and pull-on boots, relaxed sandals and sports shoes, and handsome dress shoes; women’s shoes ranging from high-heeled loafers to stylish ankle, mid-calf, and calf-high boots, sleek mules to casual clogs, wedges, and sandals; boys’ moccasins and lace-ups; and girls’ clogs and T-straps. All Born shoes offer supreme comfort, the result of an old-world shoemaking technique called “Opanka,” in the shoes gain maximum flexibility by featuring layers of rich outer leather, leather lining, and shock-absorbing foam sewn together in a single piece.
Many wearers consider Born shoes to be works of art. As a result, in the decade-plus since the brand was first launched by the respected HH Brown shoe company, Born has already developed a devoted following.
