Love this shoe! It's my second pair of Kork-Ease and I know I'll buy another sometime. I'm a short person so I love getting the extra height without the discomfort of spike heels. These are super comfortable.

I love these shoes. My feet are wide and these shoes are very comfortable. I'm thinking about getting them in red.

This is my second pair of this Kork-Ease style. I also have it in brown and love both pair. I have four or five other Kork-Ease styles and they are the best shoes. The leather is nice; the suede soles stay good-looking through wear. I have a high arch and they give me good support. They tend to run a bit wide, but i have a narrow-ish foot but still wear the medium width just fine. Kork-Ease makes a great fitting and stylish shoe. I would definitely buy them again.

I love these Kork Ease Lana Buff shoes. I am old enough to remember the 70's style! I loved them back then, love them even more now. There are many color choices and these are comfortable.

I am picky. It took me five shoe returns through Zappos to find these shoes. I first want to commend Zappos for their patience, understanding and customer service through the process. The Kork Ease Lana Buff are awesome. I love the height, I am 5'3" and I am bothered by a low heel because of comfort and style reasons. They are a high heel, but platform so you can walk forever. Off road terrain can be a little touchy so look out for ankle twisting. Other than that, they are so comfy and can be worn with dresses, shorts, jeans - everything! I teach so I am anxious to see how they do in the fall. I love an all around shoe that is stylish yet super comfy and I am 40 and do not want to look like a grandma or a wannabe 18 year old. These shoes are perfecto!

I love these shoes. It took a day to get used to the platform height but then it was smooth sailing. I am short so I love any shoe that makes me appear taller and these do the trick. Another reviewer mentioned the suede gets scuffed easily and I agree. I somewhat ruined them while sitting at work and not realizing I was making marks in the heels from kicking the base of my chair. You can\'t rub it out of the suede either. I love these despite that. I had to write a review because I highly recommend them!

I ordered these based on the reviews I read on your website. I have a bad back and I am constantly looking for shoes that are fashionable yet comfy. That is a very hard thing to do. I tried these shoes on the moment I received them and I have only taken them off for bed. I love them! They don't hurt my back and they look awesome. I get compliments on them whenever I wear them. And they send me back to my middle school days! I want them in every color. I got natural and I am ordering black. But I will be ordering the rest of the colors, too. Buy 'em, you'll love 'em!

Felt a half size smaller - Nice...comfortable, but felt a half size smaller than marked. Will try the next size up. I did not have this issue with the other styles.

Very comfortable wedges, with a little extra height. The sole is suede so be very cautious, the first time worn they were already scuffed up.

This is a great shoe. It's stylish and super comfortable. It goes great with shorts and skirts for the summer. The best thing about this shoe is that it gives you the height yet you can wear them all day. I liked them so much that I got a pair for my sister!

So Comfortable - I am short, so finding a sandal type of shoes with some height has proved difficult. This shoe fit the bill! I did have a bit of rubbing upon one of the first times I wore it, but I still love them!

Kork-Ease Lana Buff - A must have. They are the best platform slides I have ever owned - Love them. They are really comfortable and great to go with jeans, skirt, or dress. Have them in 3 colors. Thanks Zappos!

Perfect Slip On Sandal - I have recently become "addicted" to Kork Ease. I had always seen them in the Sundance Catalog and when I couldn't get my size through Sundance, was pleasantly surprised to find them on Zappos. I purchased 2 pairs within days of each other and these 2 pairs of shoes will be my staples for the entire summer. The Lana is great. Super comfy foot bed, soft leather out of the box. I wore mine at work all day today and it literally feels like you are walking around in flats. I highly recommend any Kork Ease shoe.

Must have! Kork Ease has blended the best of fashion: great looks, comfort, and height. The leather is soft enough for immediate comfort. The footbed is comfy. I love that I get a few inches yet can still run around as if I'm wearing flats. I bought one pair and then decided almost immediately to get another pair in a different color. Now they are practically all I wear!

A great "sister" to the Cork-Ease strappy. My twin sister and I wore the original 1970's strappy for as long as we could get them. We wore them with retro jeans and rolled up 501 Levi's. When I saw these slip on versions they were a must have for me. The fit, comfort and walkability measured with the flattering look of 19 pound weight loss were nostalgic. I bought both styles. Then, I sent them as a surprise gift to my sister. She was ecstatic. We are both between sizes and ordered up for both styles. I wear the Lana Buff for a quick get up and go look and save the strappy for more elegant casual with my today's retro jeans. If you like the strappy 3" version, I recommend you also try the Lana Buff. I prefer the Luggage color or Lana Buff.

Top of the world shoe - This is a lovely shoe for a reasonable cost. I had worn KorkEase in high school (buffalo sandals) and I loved them, so I was excited to find an updated slide version on Zappos. The color is a rich, true black, and the leather was just right - not too shiny or dull; not too soft or floppy. The height is the charm of this shoe - a 3" heel that feels even more comfortable than a flat. I get all of the height I want without sacrificing comfort or steadyness of step. I ordered this shoe first in a size 10 (my normal size), but it was a bit pinchy and not quite long enough. So Zappos, my most favorite shoe store on the planet, swiftly exchanged them for an 11, which fit quite well and covers me appropriately in both length and width. I have a high arch and sometimes can't wear shoes that cross at the toes, but the 11 works just fine. The shoe is lightweight, stylish, and works well for casual office wear, shopping, dinners out, etc. I liked this shoe so much that I immediately ordered a second pair in another color, and I am thinking about even getting a third. Love Zappos!

Happy - I love this shoe. I have been looking forever for a platform mule, which you cannot find at retail anymore (how can this type of shoe NOT be "in style" anymore). I am 5'3" and enjoy wearing a shoe that gives me a little more height, while comfortable at the same time. These are very comfy and stylish and I could wear them every day. A little pricey, but worth it. Waiting for rationalization to buy the "natural" colored ones... I also need good arch support, which these provide.
