Awesome shoe. A throw back to the 70s. I admit I bought them out of nostalgia, but they are so modern and cute. And make me so tall. Great with jeans and long skirts... and I wore them out with a short denim dress and got lots of compliments. Great shoe. Great zappos. My usual size seemed just a little shorter than usual… my toes are right at the edge. The size up though was too long. So I stayed with the smaller size - but checking out 2 sizes is worth it with this one.

I have been searching for these sandals for years and finally found them. Used to wear them as a kid in the 70's. My mother had the high ones and I had the low ones. We called them Buffalo Sandals. Anyway I originally ordered the 9 which is my normal size but they were too tight in the width. Wish they had a wide width so I returned and ordered the 10 and they fit perfectly, they don't look too big at all. 9.5 wide would have been perfect but I'm thrilled with the 10 regular. So comfortable.

I love these. I am a ballet dancer who recently had foot surgery.. I love to wear heels but they have been too painful. since my surgery, I have been able to wear only stiff soled shoes. These are comfortable and fun! I am excited that I have found some height and comfort.. Not to mention the style.. very cool!!!

I purchased these sandals to wear with skirts and jeans in the warmer weather this year. I usually will not spend over $100 dollars on a pair of shoes, but these are so comfortable and versatile I feel it was money well spent. They look great with everything, and once broken in feel great, even walking long distances. They are a little snug at first, but fit very true to size after a few wearings.

These shoes are AWESOME! Soo worth the money! I wore them to the zoo and shopping and my feet didn’t hurt at the end of the day! I was amazed since usually style comes with a price --- pain! They are very easy to walk in considering they are slight platforms. And there is nothing to say about Zappos except---They are WONDERFUL! Zappos is the only online shoe store I will use! They have never disappointed me! Thank you Zappos!

I used to wear these Kork-Ease Ava shoes in the seventies with rainbow socks (smile). I googled Kork-Ease and found my old style shoes, ordered them and feel in love all over again. The quality is still excellent. I walked allover New York City for the first time wearing them right out of the box. Very comfortable no problems at all, my husband and his friend wearing sneakers complained they wanted to take a cab. I wanted to keep on walking, that's how comfortable they are. I love my Kork-Ease and I am glad I bought them again after all these years. A great summer sandal, I must recommend that everyone should have a pear in their closet. Kork-Ease are a beautiful shoe. Loving it...happy, happy.

I love these shoes! They look adorable with jeans, but more importantly, they give me the height I need without causing pain. Thanks to the platform, I think the actual heel height is around two inches which is so comfy. Highly recommend!

I saw these shoes and had a flashback to the 70's…I ordered them in a size 11 but they were too big and returned for the 10 which fit perfect. They are comfortable and easy to walk in. They are not heavy and clunky like the older version. The leather gives good support as well as the back strap which holds your foot in securely. I was so excited to have a nice looking sandal that I ordered another pair in brown. I love the style; it makes your foot look smaller and a bit sexy. Thanks Zappos for your quick service and wonderful staff which are so helpful.

A Guy review -- Being over 50, these platform sandals tug on my nostalgia really hard; I see hippie chicks and maxi skirts and hot pants and bib overalls with halter tops. When I was just leaving high school (think Life on Mars-1973) I don't think there was a girl without these or "Bare Traps". Okay so these are a bit of a "hard sell" for my younger 80s-girl bride, but she is a good sport and humors me. The low rise makes the high heel comfy. The buff is classic. She has a pretty true 7M and the fit was fine.

I love these shoes! They are super high quality leather, and the cork, or whatever, are cushioned with is amazing. I can walk around the city all day long and my feet feel better than if I had worn flats. I will likely purchase other shoes from this brand in the future.

I love these shoes! At first, I had a darker color in mind, but I didn't want the dark brown. I decided to tried the natural color, and it really goes with everything. The shoes are extremely comfortable, and they are perfect with shorts or skirts.

I have tried other brands with this platform look and they do not compare. These have a substantial sole so even though they are high platforms you feel very secure and not the least bit tippy. Very cute, very retro. Pricey for me but well worth it. I\'m a happy customer!

These sandals are amazing! I have 2 pairs and love Korkease. I wear them all day, walking, working, traveling, etc. and never have a discomfort issue. They are cushy and comfy, a definite must for your feet!

Perfect summer sandal! Goes great with dresses or jeans, casual or going out to dinner. The color is really warm, a great neutral that would work with lots of skin tones. The sizing runs a little small. Trying them on out of the box, I wished I could order a half size up, but after wearing them a couple of weeks, they've stretched a bit to fit perfectly.

I'm slightly bigger than a 7 but not a full 7.5, so I ordered a 7. They seemed a little tight and a little short. However, I think in the right size they would be very comfortable and they are certainly cute. What concerns me is that either Kork-Ease is making two versions of the same shoe, or they are changing over their production, and not for the better. The "buff leather" versions of their shoes seem to be made in Brazil, with leather insoles. The "vacchetta leather" versions are made in China with man-made insoles, but no price difference.

I bought these because I also have the black letter/suede pair and I absolutely love them. The leather ones were comfortable from day one. This cork version took more time. They felt tighter from the beginning and the toe section was much tighter and more narrow than the leather version. I expect they just don't give as well. However, I put shoe stretchers in them and it helped immensely. They are still not as comfortable as the leather versions, but they are still nice feeling and the look is fantastic. I would purchase them again and recommend them!

Fun! A child of the 70's is loving these. They don't kill this old feet either. Just trying to hold on to my youth.They feel great on. My regular shoe size fit me just fine. The cork is very neutral. Go for it! Zappos can though again, with a next day arrival, too!

I had a pair of these shoes when I was a teenager in the 70s. I loved them then, and I love them now. They are so comfortable, because the net heel height isn't very high. The leather (for the natural-colored ones, anyway) is not treated, so you are not supposed to put any polish or other products on it. As the shoes age, the color darkens, and looks better and better. I think the padding on the sole has been improved since I had these shoes long ago. They have a lot of cushion. I am so happy to have found these shoes on Zappos! Thanks for the blast from the past.
