Customer Reviews Kate Spade New York Karolina

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!

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.

This shoe is gorgeous and I can tell that it would be super comfortable if it fit right. I ordered my usual 7M, but it's too tight in the box and my toes feel pinched. Waiting for Zappos to get the 7W in stock.

shoe was not comfortable

I have another pair of the Karolinas and love them - they are so comfortable! I was excited about getting this pair but the color is much browner than I was hoping for - I was thinking it would be more nude but it really is camel - very brownish and much darker than I wanted. I really don't think the brownish color is versatile enough and I will be returning.

I loved these shoes except for one major thing. The color did not work at all for me. It is like a mustard yellow/brownish color more than a nude.

I am a standard 11N. I ordered that size in this shoe and find it to be really wide. The toe box was okay but around the arch the shoe really gaped open.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful shoe but, I ordered a 7W and the shoe was too small...maybe if I ordered a 7.5W or 8W it would work?

The reviews did not seem to correspond with my expectations or experience! These shoes were not at all comfortable, who writes these things?

I don't get the hype. Arch all wrong, no padding. Felt cheap and my husband said they looked like shoes an 80's secretary has in her desk drawer.

Ordered a 7W because of a wide toe. Normally, I wear 7W or 7.5 M. This shoe felt like a 6.5 or 7 N.

Shoe runs large; order a half-size smaller than normal. Not very comfortable; shoe puts all your weight/pressure on the toes.

Cute shoe, but not worth the price. I was really hoping to love these. I have narrow feet and I ordered both my normal narrow size and a narrow half size smaller, but still apparently not small enough. Zero arch support, at least for a high-arched foot, leaving a huge gap between my arch and the inner side and bottom of the shoe. Even if the fit had been true, I don't think I could walk around for very long without the cushion of a platform under the ball of the foot.

These were a bit disappointing. They run a full size too small and the ocelot is more dull and muted than it looks in the photo. I thought they'd be great for fall, but I'm sending them back.

I have a lot of Kate Spade shoes and this is my first experience with them not running true to size - run small. Also the color on these is not a true nude - much darker like a latte coffee

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.

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.

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.
