Customer Reviews Kate Spade New York Karolina

I was looking for these shoes all over stores and the internet and finally found them at Zappos. The Karolina collection of Kate Spade is amazing. The shoes fit great and you can walk the whole nine yards in them without any pain. I am contemplating on buying more of these.

Great-looking, solid shoe - I have worn these shoes all day for work, and my feet were never uncomfortable. The shoe is a classic pump with modern lines and I plan to buy the camel pair in addition to the black patent I already own.

I have been wearing Kate Spade's Karolina shoes for work for a long time and they are by far my favorite pairs. They are extremely comfortable and I can walk around in them all day and all evening. The rounded toe and soft leather are really comfortable and I never have issues with toe pain (from being pushed together) like I do with other shoes. And they hold up amazingly well. Aside from having the heel guard replaced once (after wearing them for a couple of years), the leather is in perfect condition - no tears, no creases, they look as good as new. I would highly recommend these shoes.

I wore these last Friday for the first time to a charity event and they were comfortable all night and I was on my feet the whole time. They look stunning on, a very classy look. I wore them with a black cocktail dress and my Chanel bag. I got the nude color which is slightly darker than my skin color and they made my legs look very long even though I'm short. I love them and will definitely purchase them in other colors. I wish they came in red!

Pros: This shoe is one of the nicest round-toe pumps I have found. Beautiful, unique, goes-with-everything color, shiny high quality patent leather, very sexy. Cons: The heel is more of a really skinny stiletto than I expected (looks a bit more balanced in the photo, I think) and - the one real problem - the sole is not covered on the inside edge, but shows the cheap plastic bottom plastic of the shoe. This is a no-go for me with a shoe of this price category. Sizing runs a bit snug, but not a whole half-size smaller.

These are the best pumps EVER!!! I have tried everything - from Steve Madden to Prada and Gucci. I have been wearing the Karolina's since they first came out. They are soooooo comfortable, fit true to size and are the most AMAZING shoe ever. I only wish Kate Spade would make them in a simple black leather.

I bought the black patent version of these, and although they are beautiful, all I can say is wow. I wore them to a holiday party last night and I was in pain all night. I thought that for this price, I would get a comfortable pair of heels. I like the Weitzman shoe I purchased a few months ago. They were very comfortable, even to dance in. I could not wait to take these shoes off. I will be very hesitant to purchase Kate Spade shoes again.

You know that amazing feeling you get when you slip on a pair of beautiful, black silk dress shoes and you just know this is going to be one heck of a night? Well, that's my experience with these Kate Spade Karolina pumps. I do not have great legs, not even good ones, and these shoes present such an elegant and graceful line that my legs look pretty good. These shoes are well made, classic and comfortable. The heel height is just enough to give you that long-legged line, but not so high that your toes go blue from lack of blood flow. Pair these with a short, flirty taffeta skirt or an elegant long gown and you will never be wrong. That's just it, these shoes are just never wrong!

Wow! These pumps are not only comfortable, but sexy and elegant. I bought the black satin in 6.5 and wish to buy more in the near future. I can't believe I can walk around for hours in them with no fatigue. Keep 'em coming in a variety of colors.

I'd buy them in every colour if I could afford it! I got a great deal a while ago and bought 2 pairs of these Karolina's, a brown croc and pink croc, and they are my FAVORITE shoes! Doesn't take very long to break them in and they're so comfy and stylish that I wear them all the time, even with jeans on casual days. Also comfy enough that I wear them when I know I'll be walking for a while. I am already looking to purchase several more pairs in other colours as soon as I can afford it! I agree with the other review that the tips on the heels do wear down pretty quick since they are plastic, but I just had them retipped recently so it's a small repair that was totally worth it for the shoe!

Worth every penny - These shoes were my first purchase from Zappos and I was not disappointed. I'm tired of buying cheapo shoes that hurt my feet or don't fit right or fall apart after only a few uses. I can tell these heels will be a part of my wardrobe for a very long time. They look sexy, elegant and sleek, and could go with just about any outfit. You could wear them to the office, out to the club, or even to church. I normally can't stand a heel higher than 3 inches, but this one feels very natural and comfortable. I'm looking forward to all the compliments I know I'll be getting when I wear them!

Lovin the Karolina in Carolina - This is such a striking and sophisticated shoe. It is very well made. I preferred the camel patent color. It goes with everything. If you aren't a fan of toe cleavage, be aware that you will have a little with this shoe.

Comfortable for a pump. True to size. Very practical.

Great shoe! I got this shoe in "steel snake" (a dark silver) to wear in my wedding. It's as comfortable as a heel that high can be, and looks fabulous. A ZZ Top woman would be proud to wear it.

New Favorite Shoes! I absolutely adore this shoe! I ordered it in both silver and red and kept the silver. It is truly beautiful and expensive looking in silver. The red was pretty, too, but not as good/expensive looking as the silver version. FYI - there is toe cleavage so if that bothers you, be aware!

I swooned when I opened the box! I didn't want to like them because they are expensive but they are just too gorgeous AND comfortable to send back. This ruby crocco looks good with so many things it's a jazzy neutral, basic. The shape of the shoe is classic & makes the foot look elegant. I saw them on Sarah Palin too & I justify the price because I will wear them to pieces. Stunning shoes! Fit true to size to.

Most comfortable pumps- and stylish too! These shoes are great- I have purchased them twice (with slightly different textures). I wear them to work and out every day. They felt a little snug when I first purchased them but they quickly streched to be very comfortable. Just be careful with the heel- it's made of plastic and my first pair buckled after about 6 months.

Comfortable pump! This is a really cute shoe, but also very comfortable (for a pump) - I wore it all night, including lots of walking, and my feet didn't hurt at all. I have it in silver but might also get it in black because it's such a nice basic shoe.

Sarah Palin wore this shoe for her debate! I loved it on her, so I also got the ruby, looks beautiful with black. I normally have to go up a half size in Kate Spade, but did not with this one, true to size. Very comfortable, but still sexy and feminine. Zappos is sooo fast!

Versatile and Attractive Shoe - I love these heels. They're really beautiful, tasteful and stylish. I love that they go with almost everything! On the downside, I can't walk a lot in them because they get uncomfortable, but this could be largely due to the fact that I don't wear heels very often. Maybe I'm just not used to it yet.
