I picked up a couple of pair of Born Shoes tonight. Didn't find any threads here about anyone's Born experience. Share thoughts if you care...

Judsons are pretty good. I'd change the laces, but that's it. Not a fan of the second, but they still look better than most stuff I see being worn in the streets. I like Born. They can be had cheap, as they go on sale a lot, and there's always ebay. Great quality control and leathers for the price. Very comfortable with those special puffy mesh insoles they come with.

+1 on both accounts

I'd even go beyond passable and say, well, attractive.

I think he just needs to change the laces on the second pair.

It's not what I would buy or wear, but ugly is going too far, I think.

I have to respectfully disagree here. Ugly is definitely the proper word for those.

They look like some kind of Johnston and Murphy casual diffusion line.

Ew.
