Customer Reviews Kate Spade New York Karolina

What a beautiful, stable shoe. I found them to run about a half size small, though. I'm usually a 7W or 7.5; in these, the 7.5W was short and narrow for me. The camel color is lovely, and very good with a red or navy dress, though I'd rather find the shoe in nude.

I wear a 5.5 and ordered a 5.5M. When I first put them on I was disappointed because they felt so tight, but they were so pretty I kept them on looking at them. The longer I had them on the more comfortable they were. So I decided to keep them and give them a try. After a week of breaking them in they finally lived up to the other reviews of most comfortable pump I've ever worn. The balance in the heel is perfect and they are so pretty yet so classic I love wearing them.

These shoes are awesome. Since the moment I opened the box I fell in love with them. The perfect nude shade (camel) which goes with everything. Plus they are very well made and comfortable. I have decided not to ever buy any other pair of shoes but this brand and style They are simply amazing. They are great for work, night out, weddings. Get them!

I don't know how Kate Spade managed to make a heel that is over 3 inches yet feel like it has a 2 1/2 in heel. Beautiful shoe! I like the wiggle room in an 8 but I feel like I need to go up a half size or order an 8 wide to accommodate my toes. I don't have wide feet, so I think I am just so used to open toed shoes, these felt snug. Sadly, these beauties are going back.

I have a couple other pairs of Kate Spade open toes (wedge and then pump) which I just got and I like a lot (similar heel height as well). these did not make the cut at all. There was way too much toe cleavage for my taste, I felt like I didn't have my footing (yes, I'm not one of those "I live in high heels" types, so I'm not accustomed to walking around constantly in heels, but I wear them occasionally), and they were just flat out not comfortable. It was surprising since the other two pairs I own are great. The sizing did feel accurate, maybe just barely narrower and smaller than normal, so if you're like a 9.25, I'd go 9.5 (I'm probably a 9.4, so 9.5's were fine), but other than that, true to size.

This is a beautiful shoe but for me, the toe was just a little too rounded to look "grown up" on my foot. Very comfortable and pretty - lots of others love it!

I love this shoe! I had to get the multiglitter one directly from Kate Spade as well. They are show stoppers. I'm between an 8.5 an 9 since my second kid. I bought a 9 and they fit fine. I couldn't wear stockings, because my foot slid in them. I wore them to a New Year's bash. They were comfortable for the first four hours (on my feet the whole time). Then I regretted forgetting my foot petals. I sat down for a bit, and was good to go.

If you are someone who likes to have gorgeous, perfect shoes on hand for an occasion, buy this shoe! It is so gorgeous I found myself just staring at it like a high school crush. The shape is ultra pretty, makes my athletic legs look more feminine. The powder color is the most beautiful pale nude/pink. The rounder toe makes it super comfortable, and the shoe is well balanced when you walk. True to size. Sadly I am returning it (a) because I bought it to go with a dress for a wedding and it's not the right match and (b) as drop dead gorgeous as the color is, it's not the best nude for my skin tone. I wish like anything I could justify keeping it. I only give 4 stars for comfort because I don't believe anything but bedroom slippers and flats really achieve 5 stars for comfort. Comfortable as they are, they're still 3 inch heels.

A good size larger than expected. I usually wear a size 11 shoe. I've never had to return something for a size 10. This shoe is so big, I'd definitely have to exchange for a 10. Shoe also looked funny at the top area.

This is a shoe any woman should have as part of their shoe collection. It is very comfortable to wear. I wear a size 7 and feels true to size. Cute thing happened when I wore them for the first time. Without warning a little girl, about 7 years old, came up to me and said "pretty shoes" and walked away!

Wonderful shoes! I got them in the silver glitter and they are absolutely dazzling. I'm wearing them for my wedding, and I'm sure they'll be great for any special occasion afterward. Surprisingly comfortable, and the heel is just the right height for a balance between comfort and sexiness.

I really wanted to love these shoes, but the short vamp and rounded toe really don't do much for me. Maybe I just don't like that style, but as nice as they look from the side, in a closed toe pump I don't like seeing more toe than shoe from the top.

So far so good! I usually hate high heels but these are surprisingly comfortable. I haven't tried to walk a mile in them yet, but I expect I could at least walk a few blocks without killing myself.

I bought these in both black and nude. I usually wear a 9.5 Narrow, but the store only carried M. To my surprise, the M's worked fine (although I might order N online for comparison). I have the flattest feet, but the Karolina had all-day comfort. My only complaint is that the insoles in both pair of shoes started shifting and bunching after several wears. I have never had any other designer shoes do this, not even those that have gotten much more wear. It has become impossible to get the insoles to lie flat in the shoes. I wear them infrequently now, because it is uncomfortable to have the insole bunched up under my feet and toes.

These are great shoes. Flattering and reasonably comfortable for high heels. I wore them 5 hours during a party the other night and I was amazed at how comfortable they were.

The perfect wedding shoes and perfect going out shoes (that don't look like you are trying to recycle your wedding shoes. Love them! I'm not crazy about the round toe, but it makes the shoe more comfortable to wear, especially if you are going to be on your feet all day. Who wants to be in uncomfortable shoes on your wedding day?

Love these pumps! I have about a dozen pairs of Karolinas and they're the best. Fit is always right on and they're super comfortable. I always gets compliments on them at work. Highly recommend. The only catch - if you find a color you like that isn't black or sand/nude, hop on it - those usually go fast!

Kate Spade shoes are beautiful, but always too narrow for me. I was so excited to see the Karolina offered in a wide width...but sadly, they're way too narrow. They are narrower than the Tory Burch Leah, which are just M width.

These are beautiful shoes, however...the picture accompanying this color was burgundy, not the bright red as pictured now. Maybe I should have known because of the color name, but I went with the picture on the web site. I did keep them, mostly because the soles got scuffed just from wearing inside my house. Having said all of this, they are beautiful and VERY comfortable! Heel height perfect; looks higher than it is.

Beautiful, comfortable, sexy. What more could a girl want in a shoe? As most reviews also say, this shoe is engineered so well that it truly does not pinch or bind your toes, yet does not look dowdy. The heel is high, but not too high. I worry about patent leather and the fact that it does not have the "give" of traditional leather, but with this style and fit, there's no need to worry. I simply love them. I hope Kate Spade never stops making the Karolina. Well done.

I definitely would not recommend these shoes if you have wide feet. I purchased the 7.5 W and my foot barely fit into the shoe because the footbed was too narrow. Disappointed because I really like the color of these shoes.

Beautiful shoe. It's darker than the photo seems but is a fantastic addition and pairs nicely with so many colors. Comfort is what you would expect with a 3.5" heel but definitely wearable all-day.

I hate heels. They hurt my feet, I get painful blisters, and my lower body is sore the next day. A few months ago, I aad an event that required heels. I can't walk for extended times in these, but with gel inserts, they're not too bad for a few hours of milling around. These are the only heels I will wear, they look amazing, and I think they're well worth the price if these are going to be my only go-to heels for the next few years.

I shopped a long time for these. Although a but pricey for my budget. I would have spent as much on 3 or 4 pair that weren't as comfortable or last as long. So in the end always you pay for quality.
