Comfort by Construction

Leather Upper
Our fashionable, leather lined uppers are made from the best leathers from the finest tanneries around the globe.

Leather Sock
A leather or high-tech fabric sock helps to keep the foot dry and eliminate odor-causing bacteria.

Arch Cushion
The foam cushion provides ergonomic support and comfort.

Dual Density Foam Cushion
Cushion and support foam combine to reinforce the foot while maintaining maximum flexibility.

Air Diffusion Layer
This special layer reduces the puffing noise that can occur when walking by distributing the air pressure along the sole and preventing it from escaping.

Lightweight Sole
Super-light and durable outsoles, made from the highest quality materials, are sculpted for a trend-right look.

Quality Materials

Every season, you can depend on Børn to use high-quality leathers and materials.

Our leathers are exceptionally soft, comfortable, and durable. Whether burnished to accentuate its natural richness, or treated to achieve a timeworn patina, our premium-quality leathers give each shoe a one-of-a-kind finish.

Specialty fabrics, such as natural linen in the spring and plush velvet in the fall, are also abundant throughout the Børn collection.

Old-World Techniques

Børn was founded on the need to create a comfortable shoe that was also lightweight. We achieved this by using our signature Opanka hand-stitching technique. This traditional technique has many benefits:

Flexibility
The hand-stitching technique allows the shoe to flex and move with the foot for a natural feel.

"Ultra Cushioning"
Our stitching-based construction process enables the shoe to conform to the foot and rebound with every step.

Commitment to Comfort
This signature stitching process works together with our specialty padded footbeds and wide, roomy toe boxes to immerse the foot in comfort.

Artistic Details

We believe every shoe is a work of art. From its outsole to its upper, each shoe is meticulously designed.

Each one of our outsoles are customized with a unique pattern, sometimes with color that matches the upper.

Clever accent stitching pulls the shoe together and coordinates with the leather. From brushed metal hardware to hand-cut tassels, each detail is carefully considered. Go ahead and inspect a pair for yourself. You’ll find a charming detail everywhere you look.
