Kork-Ease Madalena SKU: #7616221

I love shoes! This was my first "Kork-ease" and my last. Very uncomfortable shoe. Leather is stiff and chaffs. buckles hit all the wrong places. The cushioned footbed is like concrete. Great look but lacks all the things to make it a good shoe.

I love this shoe. The multiple buckles give them a slightly punk-rock feel, but they are still pretty. I was worried that these would rub a little, given all the straps, but they are so well made they conform to your foot really nicely after just a few days of wear. Surprisingly supportive and comfy for such a high shoe. They seem me to run just a teensy bit small: I am either a 9.5 or a 10; I have a 10 in these and they fit well, but if they were a centimeter shorter they would be too small, and I\'ve never had to go up to a 10.5 before.

I love these shoes! I love Kork-Ease shoes in general, but not only are these very stylish, but they fit really well and have the great comfort of this brand (I must have eight pair, so I know). Nice to see some new styles coming from them. I have high arches and a narrow heel and the straps adjust to fit me well. Definitely get these shoes!

Cute and hot as you-know-what, but the straps cut in at an odd place and the leather is very hard so I must return them. Another drawback is that the back strap is not adjustable -- a definite minus in a full-size-only shoe, in my opinion. The footbed is nicely cushioned, though. Sad to see these go back with the UPS man ...

Kork-ease Madalena in black vachetta. I bought the Gabriela, loved them, came back for the Madalena, love them too! If Kork-ease were the only shoes I ever bought my feet would be ecstatic and my wallet would be empty! Yes, they are pricey, but you really do get what you pay for, and they look so great. I have gotten so many compliments on both pairs (gave Zappos some business). I will be saving up for another pair. I love them that much. Maybe Lana Buff next time.

These are beautiful shoes. They are comfortable, like all the other Kork-Ease shoes I have. They look great on. I did have some trouble with my foot sliding forward, but I\'ve tightened the second buckle and that seems to do the trick.\r\n

Well, these shoes look really cute on, but they are not the most comfortable, the buckle part is really chaffing my foot and I can only wear them for a few hours. I'm hoping this may resolve itself after breaking them in a bit because I do like them other than that little problem. I will likely try another style of Korkease, as I think this is probably not the most comfortable one they have available.

A cute shoe that allows adjustment of width and arch height. It is comfortable for a shoe that gives height without a really high heel. I am always looking for that type of shoe as I deal with chronic back pain. It is a bit heavier than the average shoe, but still manageable for me. I wish it would come in more colors. I don\'t care for the neutral shade that Kork-Ease offers.

I love them! I have several pairs of Kork-Ease and these are very sturdy because of the buckles and straps. I have a narrow foot and the adjustments you can make allow for a perfect fit! They run true to size. I am a 7.5 and I ordered an 8. Not too high and super comfy!

If you crave the "oomph" of the high-heeled look, but without the pain and destruction to your foot health, these platforms are great! You get three inches of added leg length with only one inch of lift - and the platforms are solid enough and light enough to be both comfortable and supportive. Plus the three strap system allows a wider foot to wear this shoe - I normally wear a W or 2W and this fits me perfectly with the straps made looser.

With 3 adjustable straps, I was able to wear these right away and be comfortable. There's also a little padding for the bottom of your foot that adds to the comfort.

This is a great looking shoe and appears to be well made but just did not fit me . I usually wear an 8 1/2 or 39. I tried this one in 8 and 9. The 9 was too long and the strap around the back of the ankle was so loose i could pull my foot out without unbuckling. I had high hopes for the 8, but it was too short, yet I could still take it off without unbuckling. So sad.

These shoes are super cute, super comfortable and I love them! They look wonderful with jeans, skirts and dresses. Versatile and oh, did i say cute? Glad that Kork-ease is expanding their look.

This shoe is adorable but after an hour or so my pinky toe was killing me. They are comfortable at first and if you don't stand/walk in them for more than an hour.

These are super cute sandals and I love the wedge, but I felt the width wasn't true to size. I have never worn a "wide" shoe or sandal, so I know that I don't have overly wide feet. The buckles all adjust but the toe buckle was still very snug. I'm trying to decide if I can have that one strap stretched a bit, because otherwise I love the sandals.

So far so good. I love the idea of Kork-Ease, but last year bought the Ava, and they gave me the worst blisters. I tried using comfort tape, but they still just hurt. So, I didn't wear them much. I bought these this year for all around summer wear, and am hoping for the best. They are very cute on, and go great with jean shorts and summer dresses. I just hope they don't tear up my skin.

Great looking shoe, and the comfort I have come to expect from Kork-Ease. The shoe is sassy, sporty, and yet cute enough to be worn with a skirt or dress, but also goes well with jeans. Unlike other reviewers, I had no trouble with my little toe. The shoes fit true to size.
