    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.

    I have a high arch and a medium width to my foot so these are the perfect shoe for me! These beautiful classic platform sandals look great with skirts, jeans, bare legs, knee socks, casual business slacks and a turtleneck and jacket - understated and versatile - comfortable, with enough height but enough support to wear all day. I wore my brown pair every day for about a year, all while pregnant, going to auditions and showing properties! I just ordered the black pair and my only regret is that they don't make infant versions! I heart Kork-Ease.

    Throughout the '70s I lived in Kork-Ease and I'm so glad to be wearing them again! Just as I remember, the first couple times wearing there's a 'breaking-in' period, but once broken-in, these shoes are amazingly comfy and so freaking cute! Love the cork version, but will be picking up Ava in more colors! Love 'em!

    They're great with jeans. You will need to break them in, however. After that, perfect.

    I love these shoes, the leather is prettier than the picture. They were comfortable right out of the box and they look good on my feet. I plan to buy them in black, also. And of course, Zappos service is wonderful, they arrived so quickly and were packed so well. Really Zappos is the only place I buy shoes anymore.

    I loved these shoes, but the straps across the toes tore the skin off both my big toes. I loved them so much I tried to wear them three times and finally gave up. It took about a month and a half for the skin to heal and return to normal. Other than that they fit great. Sad.

    I like these a lot -- they are comfy and give great height. I have a Morton's neuroma though and after hours of wearing these do irritate it; I thought they wouldn't due to the padded footbed. But, most of my shoes bother my neuroma, so I can't fault these shoes for that.

    These shoes are like butter! The leather is soft and supple and develops a nice patina over time. I wore them with all sorts of outfits, but enjoyed them best with capris and shorts. For some reason they seemed clunky with skirts and dresses for me. If they feel a little tight when you first get them, stick with it as there is some stretching over time that loosens them up. I got both the natural and white (couldn't decide). I wear them both, but seem to go to the natural more often. A really nice, comfortable, stylish sandal.

    Love these sandals! Saw them in another catalog, but very happy to buy them from Zappos (best service). They were comfortable out of the box and I can wear them all day. I am between 7.5 and 8, ordered the 8 and it fits perfectly. The heel strap is a little loose, but doesn't affect comfort at all.

    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!

    Still love these shoes after all these years. Bought my first pair at Maxfield Blue on Little Santa Monica Blvd. in L.A. in 1973 I think. If you are a 7.5 like me, get the 7. I did need a little break in time...like an hour or two a day for about a week, but that's just me. I've been wearing flats or flip flops for years...now they are fine for hours of wear. As usual, Zappos rocks with shipping fast.

    These sandals run true to size, but the leather is very hard. It takes a few wearings to break them in, but once they are broken in they will quickly become your favorite shoes.

    I'm petite so I like a heel and I also have bunions :-( The Kork-Ease Avas have been my shoe salvation for the summer! i wear them all day, walk tons and they look great with everything. When they were new, I did have my shoemaker stretch out the front straps (near the bunion area) they've been good to go ever since. Highly recommend these. I also like the Kork-Ease Bettes.

    I bought these shoes because I am recovering from a broken foot and needed a stable shoe that was still little cute. These shoes are really comfortable and worth the price. I love the retro look.
