Perfect adorable sandal! Takes me right back to junior high in 1974! Every time I wear them I get tons of compliments and they are so comfortable!

Just right! Kork-ease makes these in a lower wedge (Myrna) and a higher one (Bette) but this is the original and is just right. The lower ones look a little frumpy and the higher ones are too hard to walk in (though they look great standing still!) AVA is a winner. I wear a 7.5 usually and the size 7 is a perfect fit.

These shoes remind me of actress Nancy Stephen when she wore shoes like these with argyle socks on a movie when she was driving a Camaro.

Love, love, love these shoes! I had bunion surgery and have constant foot pain, but these are always comfortable and the only heels I can wear aside form clogs. Great fit, great style. Pricey but well made.

Like so many others on here, I used to wear these in the 70s (they cost less then!). Because they are cool looking and have a great platform, I wanted to love these and wear them again. However, since my teen years, my feet have changed drastically and these shoes in the medium (B) width can never accommodate my wide little hobbit feet. I wore these for an hour on the carpet the day I got them and they were excruciating across my toes. I tried again on the carpet for another hour the next day, but no go. These, unfortunately, will never fit me again. If you have a wide foot, think twice about getting these and they are just not going to stretch enough after wearing.... so sad.

These are great shoes. Go with so many things and so comfortable. Height without the pain of a super high heel. With the front platform they almost feel like a 1-2 inch heel. I am a 1/2 size, 7 1/2 M and the 7 (38) works for me. The size 8 was too wide and just a bit too long. Retro and fun!

I love these sandals. They are comfortable and sexy. Err on the side of 1/2 size down as they only come in whole sizes, and be ready for the stiff leather straps to require some breaking in. I even dampened the undersides of mine, which really helped soften them up!

Gorgeous shoe. I've been with Zappos for years and this is the first time they've screwed up; the shoe had stains and scuff marks on it so will be exchanged for an identical pair, hopefully without issues. I have one other pair of Kork-Ease and they are beautiful and quite comfortable, though I wish there was more arch support. I just walk more awkwardly with wedges, but that isn't their fault :)

I love these. Feel great. True to size. I bought a 9 and I have a narrow heel. Did not size down and they are fine.

I love these shoes, maybe because I had a pair just like them in high school 30 years ago. Quality is very good. Width is true and I normally wear an 8.5 and sometime a 9. I needed the 9. Very comfortable.

These are comfortable shoes and look pretty good. Sadly, they are thinner and less substantial than I had expected. They are more like slippers than day shoes.

Got his shoe for my husband who wears a 10.5 EEE. hard to find size but these were even too big for him. his foot slipped in and out with extra space at the heel. I'll try a 1/2 size smaller next time.

Within two months the heels on this pair had worn down to the point where it was causing back problems. Disappointed with the poor quality. Bostonian used to have products that wore better.
