Detailed Review
When considering the BORN Men's Nigel 3-Eye Oxford, you'll appreciate how it balances aesthetics with functionality. The leather uppers highlight a sophisticated design while ensuring lasting durability. The 3-eye lace-up style not only provides a secure fit but also gives you the option to adjust according to your comfort level, which is crucial for those long days on your feet.
The microfiber lining feels gentle against the skin, preventing discomfort during extended wear. Moreover, the removable pillow-like cushioned insoles are a standout feature, allowing you to customize your comfort experience. If you prefer an orthotic insole, swapping it out is a breeze.
In terms of performance, the padded leather collar adds a touch of luxury and enhances the overall wearing experience by reducing friction around the ankle area. The Opanka hand-crafted construction means that each pair is made with meticulous attention to detail, resulting in a shoe that flexes naturally with your foot's movements.
Finally, the rubber traction outsole is designed to provide stability and grip, whether you’re navigating city streets or heading into the office. This makes the Nigel 3-Eye Oxford a practical choice regardless of your activity.

User Reviews
This is our second pair best shoes ever.
What else can I say? Klahmbo loves Born in these boys are like butta.
I’ve owned two pairs of these shoes. They both have the same problems, especially in the heels. After only about six months of use, the heels wear through forming pockets, allowing pebbles to get stuck in there and rattle around. Now there is a crack in one shoes some near the toes. I do wear these every day for work, but at for a shoe lime Born, I would not expect them to wear this much for how much they paid. Especially when they talk to their soul being so good.
Look good, BUT - 3.5 month of use (mostly doing home office - so not much used at all) - and the soles broke in the middle. For 100+ dollar shoes very bad performance! Also fabric lining is screaming cheap. Totally disappointed.
