Wow! These pumps are not only comfortable, but sexy and elegant. I bought the black satin in 6.5 and wish to buy more in the near future. I can't believe I can walk around for hours in them with no fatigue. Keep 'em coming in a variety of colors.

Love these shoes, have them in purple suede and they are super comfortable for heels. There's no breaking them in!

I've gotten back into wearing heels this past year after a long period of mostly flats. I've discovered certain designers that, though they cost more, have excellent materials and craftsmanship that lead to more comfort and longevity. I've got the camel patent; it's the perfect nude for my skin tone. I find many other nude pumps too pale for me. These are about as high as I can go, but they are so well balanced that they are more comfortable than some of my lower-heeled shoes. Exactly true to size.

The perfect round toe pump! These shoes are VERY true to size... they have the perfect heel (high 3.5", but not too high 4") and the perfect rounded toe... not TOO round, but definitely a rounded toe. I could not be happier with these shoes - they are classic and timeless!

I'd buy them in every colour if I could afford it! I got a great deal a while ago and bought 2 pairs of these Karolina's, a brown croc and pink croc, and they are my FAVORITE shoes! Doesn't take very long to break them in and they're so comfy and stylish that I wear them all the time, even with jeans on casual days. Also comfy enough that I wear them when I know I'll be walking for a while. I am already looking to purchase several more pairs in other colours as soon as I can afford it! I agree with the other review that the tips on the heels do wear down pretty quick since they are plastic, but I just had them retipped recently so it's a small repair that was totally worth it for the shoe!

Additional Brand Information

All about Kate Spade

In 1993, Kate Spade launched her brand with the vision of creating simple, sophisticated and sensible handbags. With the notion of combining unique fabrics with refreshing styles, Kate Spade engendered a new concept of design in the handbag market: the modern classic.

The inspiration for Kate Spade handbags can not be found in up to the minute trends, but rather in the timeless antiquity of definitive classics. Although the roots of Kate Spade handbags can be traced back to their original nylon to tote, new silhouettes tantalize the senses with fine leathers and textiles (such as luxe haircalf, rich jacquards and stunning exotic embossing).

Today, the brand’s signature style has transcended the realm of handbags to include Kate Spade footwear, Kate Spade eyewear and Kate Spade diaper bags. Nevertheless, the basis for all Kate Spade products remains firmly founded upon her original ideals of functional and fashionable versatility that have made her handbags an iconic symbol since the beginning.

This shoe is quite comfortable considering it has a very high heel. I have the camel patent and I wear them with floral summery dresses and a lot of navy blue. I absolutely love them and I recommend then to anyone who can walk in a high heel.

Worth every penny - These shoes were my first purchase from Zappos and I was not disappointed. I'm tired of buying cheapo shoes that hurt my feet or don't fit right or fall apart after only a few uses. I can tell these heels will be a part of my wardrobe for a very long time. They look sexy, elegant and sleek, and could go with just about any outfit. You could wear them to the office, out to the club, or even to church. I normally can't stand a heel higher than 3 inches, but this one feels very natural and comfortable. I'm looking forward to all the compliments I know I'll be getting when I wear them!

Lovin the Karolina in Carolina - This is such a striking and sophisticated shoe. It is very well made. I preferred the camel patent color. It goes with everything. If you aren't a fan of toe cleavage, be aware that you will have a little with this shoe.

After reading other reviews about how comfortable these shoes were, I happily bought them, but I was not so happy after I had worn them to work for a day. I don't walk around much at work and it's all on carpeted floors and by the end of the day, I was limping. I usually have no problem in an 8.5 B, but these were narrow and with a stumpy toe box. They're not cute enough to make the pain worth it.

Great shoe! I got this shoe in "steel snake" (a dark silver) to wear in my wedding. It's as comfortable as a heel that high can be, and looks fabulous. A ZZ Top woman would be proud to wear it.

New Favorite Shoes! I absolutely adore this shoe! I ordered it in both silver and red and kept the silver. It is truly beautiful and expensive looking in silver. The red was pretty, too, but not as good/expensive looking as the silver version. FYI - there is toe cleavage so if that bothers you, be aware!

I swooned when I opened the box! I didn't want to like them because they are expensive but they are just too gorgeous AND comfortable to send back. This ruby crocco looks good with so many things it's a jazzy neutral, basic. The shape of the shoe is classic & makes the foot look elegant. I saw them on Sarah Palin too & I justify the price because I will wear them to pieces. Stunning shoes! Fit true to size to.

Most comfortable pumps- and stylish too! These shoes are great- I have purchased them twice (with slightly different textures). I wear them to work and out every day. They felt a little snug when I first purchased them but they quickly streched to be very comfortable. Just be careful with the heel- it's made of plastic and my first pair buckled after about 6 months.

Comfortable pump! This is a really cute shoe, but also very comfortable (for a pump) - I wore it all night, including lots of walking, and my feet didn't hurt at all. I have it in silver but might also get it in black because it's such a nice basic shoe.

Sarah Palin wore this shoe for her debate! I loved it on her, so I also got the ruby, looks beautiful with black. I normally have to go up a half size in Kate Spade, but did not with this one, true to size. Very comfortable, but still sexy and feminine. Zappos is sooo fast!

Versatile and Attractive Shoe - I love these heels. They're really beautiful, tasteful and stylish. I love that they go with almost everything! On the downside, I can't walk a lot in them because they get uncomfortable, but this could be largely due to the fact that I don't wear heels very often. Maybe I'm just not used to it yet.

Absolutely perfect - I have been searching for the perfect dressy black heel, and I am loving these shoes. I have received so many compliments on them already. You know how you need one dynamite little black dress - well these are the equivalent in the shoe world!
