Just updating for anyone else on the fence due to sizing width issues. I was in a Nordstroms yesterday and tried these on in black in a 7M, my usual Born boot size.
They were surprisingly good. The slightest snugness that I think would have been gone with a little wear. I didn't get them because I had convinced myself they were too similar to an existing pair of burgundy bella vitas.
Specifically, the toe was fine with a light Icebreaker merino wool running sock, and with my orthotics and a thinner sock. If I hadn't already talked myself out of them, I might have pulled the trigger, although was also saved synth fact the Roseville CA store didn't have the brown in my size.
