LOVE THESE SHOES... I wasn't sure about them at first...then I saw a friend wearing them. They are very cute. I wear a size 10, so I'm always worrying about my feet looking big, but these are great. Super comfy too...I mostly wear flip-flops, so it is rare for me to find a shoe that is as comfy as those.

70's revisited! I feel like I'm in High School again only these are so much nicer. The leather is soft and comfortable out of the box! Got the lower heel in brown and luv 'em both.

Great jean shoes - I live in jeans; I dress them up and dress them down. This lovely shoe fits into both categories. Make sure you have a good pedicure because your toes will always be on display. I found my pair true to size and comfortable. I bought the green suede; it is a color that will blend with my earth tone fall/winter clothing as well as the all time year round favorite, black. I plan to show my naked but polished (Chanel Vamp) toes beneath my jeans until the temp dips below freezing.

Lovely - I love everything about these shoes. The simple, authentic 70's design (instead of some retro over-interpretation) is perfection and they are incredibly comfortable!! Wish they were cheaper so I could stock up in a bunch of colors...

Great Wedges - I love these wedges! They are really comfortable & very stylish. I ordered the low rider in natural. Now I wish they made that style in Moss & Black Suede. I'd get them too. Fyi...I ordered a size 7 (my usual size) & had to exchange for an 8. They fit perfectly! Pretty good arch support which I need due to prior foot surgery. The straps are comfortable and not binding around the toes.

Fabu shoe! Very comfortable and easy to wear. I'm a very hard fit (long and narrower than an "M") and these adjusted to fit fine. Leather is soft and doesn't cut into my oh so delicate foot.

I lusted after these shoes for so long and I must admit they were a great disappointment. I wear an 11, ordered the 11 and found them to fit more like a size 10. Plus, they just aren't comfortable---there's no give in the cork and no real padding in the shoe. I also found them to be a little unstable to walk in. The base of the shoe is narrower than the footbed. I'm usually comfortable wearing platforms, so long as the angle from heel to toe isn't too perilously steep. I felt surprisingly wobbly in these. I still love the look of the shoe, but I don't find myself wearing them much. Could it be so hard to make a comfortable and attractive mid-height platform?

These are the most comfortable shoes. I am thinking about buying them in more colors. I wish they came in a closed toe version as well.

Half sizes - Are the only thing that could make these shoes better. Love the blue, the suede is soft soft soft, to get 3" of height w/ this kind of comfort is a gift! But I wish Kork-Ease made half sizes. I'm a pretty true 9, and the 39 is a little small and the 40 is a little big. I kept the 40.

The Good Ol' Days - I remembered how much I loved wearing these shoes even when I was pregnant but I forgot why. After wearing this summer's wedges I was remembering Kork-Ease and saw they were back in style again. I ordered a pair for myself and a pair for the daughter I was carrying thirty years ago. I opened the box, slipped them on and VOILA! I remembered why I loved them so; they are COMFORTABLE and FUN to wear! I have ordered another two pair that should tide me over until springtime!
Brands I'd also recommend: no other wedge out there is a comfortable

Great color - I got the green, and every time I wear them I get lots of compliments. The color is beautiful! I find the sole to be a little hard, I wish it were more cushiony and flexible. If it were, I would live in these. As it is, I wear them with green things...

Kork-Ease -- expensive but worth it - These are classy and comfortable. The wedge is not too angled so they are easy on the back and the knees. They look good with almost everything. They are a little pricey, but I am wearing them all the time, so the "cost per wear" is actually very good.

Cute but clunky and unstable - I am returning them, as they are a whole size too small. Also, they felt unstable and could cause turned ankles on anything other than a smooth flat surface. The color is great, however, and someone with small feet who is used to walking on an unbending cork footbed might love them. I certainly will continue to shop with Zappos, which has excellent service and fast shipping (not to mention usually great prices).

Wonderful 70's come-back shoe! Great looking & very comfortable for wearing ALL DAY! (If they weren't so pricey I'd own several pairs! But they are worth the $$). Excellent, handmade quality workmanship & materials. Goes with jeans, cropped pants, skirts, dresses... Love this shoe!
