Customer Reviews Kork-Ease Ava

I love this sandal, so what can I say? It reminds me of a pair I had in high school, way back in the day! These are very comfortable, high without being ridiculous and look great with long jeans. I'm looking forward to wearing them this summer with skirts! They are really quite light, not clunky heavy like you may think. This is my first pair of Kork Ease, and I definitely will be purchasing more from them. Very well made.

I absolutely love this height of Kork-Ease platforms (I also have the Lana slides in the same height). These are fantastic with jeans and summer dresses. I also wear mine with shorts and get tons of compliments. I have had mine a year and no problems with the elastic. I wear a true size 5 and found these to fit true to size. They needed no breaking in period. And are very comfortable: while they are a 3" heel in back, the front platform at the point where the ball of my foot rests is 1.5", so these "feel like" a 1.5" heel. Perfect for days when you'll be on your feet a lot or traveling. I now have 4 pairs of Kork-Ease in this height.

I remember these as 'buffalo sandals' in high school in 1974. I bought the black and they are exactly as I remember them. The leather needs to be broken in and straps are sturdy.

Great! I have admired these in catalogs for a while and finally ordered a pair. They are comfortable and seem well made. I like them a lot... but loved the Rockport Keira just a little more, so I returned these.

I did size up since there are o 1/2 sizes. They did feel comfortable first time on, but it's still not warm enough to wear out yet. I do agree with other reviews, it did bring me back to the 70's. The description says white, but they are really a bone color. So I was a little disappointed with that, but I will keep them because they are cute. And again thanks Zappos for next day delivery. Great company!

I bought a pair of these in black and brown about 4 years ago. I have worn these shoes to death! They are so comfortable. I have a wide foot and did not have problems with these shoes. I thin I need to replace them soon!

Love this sandal - I have been looking at them for a year and decided to just try them. Well, I fell in love with them as soon as I took them out of the box! Yippee.

What's a person to do when the shoe is in whole sizes only and I wear a 1/2 size? The 8 was too small and the 9 was too big. They have to go back which is a bummer because they were cute and felt comfortable. Darn it!

I bought the ones made of cork, and got these to console myself after I returned the much taller Bette. They definitely made me taller, but I need a better tan before I wear them. Right now, I'm too pale. They're funky. I don't know if I would wear them with a dress, but they're great with jeans. They felt very loose in the heel until I buckled the ankle strap as tightly as it would go. They don't flex as much as I expected.

Love this sandal. I have feet (neuroma) and knee issues so I can't wear a true high heeled shoe so the platform aspect of this sandal works well for me. Super comfortable.

Cute, comfy retro coolness without the insane, unwalkable height of current styles. Look great with wide leg trousers, flares, & skinnies!

These sandals are super cute and really comfortable. The heel height is perfect, the leather is very soft and the footbed has nice cushion. I usually wear a size 7 and a half...ordered a 7 based on the reviews I read and they fit perfectly. Great purchase...and as always Zappos provided quick delivery!

Love these shoes. I'm 62 and haven't had this tall a shoe for awhile, but the platform format works great - and it makes me so tall!

Very light on the foot. Comfortable and stable. Not too high of a platform. Your body weight feels evenly distributed. No break in period. Nice new neutral to can be worn with shorts, capri, skirts, and summer dresses. Looking to buy another style. Very happy...in my late 50's...I like to be stylish and comfortable too!

I love these shoes. Color is awesome and they fit true to size. Give you great height without hurt!

Love this shoe! True to size. Can't wait for the snow to melt so I can start wearing them!

Pretty comfortable sandal. I had been looking at these for a while, and finally bought them. They are cute and seem comfortable...have not worn them as it is still winter, but tried them on with a variety of clothes and feel they are a versatile shoe. Slightly narrow, but I have a slightly wide foot.

Terrific shoe. Looking forward to spring and summer wear. Fits true to size, will go with anything. Very very comfortable.

I love these shoes! The elastic behind the buckle does stretch out a little, so take note if you have small ankles, you will be wearing these on the tightest setting within a month. Also, they show water spots, but I like the way they look with a little patina. Super comfortable, great summer vacation shoes - you feel like you're wearing flats but get the extra couple of inches. No break in required.

Since it is freezing in Seattle at the moment, I haven't worn these yet, but I have a whole bunch of these Korkease sandals and I love them. I wear them with pants only, and when I want something more sturdy that won't tip or rock when I'm walking. I save my other heels and platforms for times when I'm not going to be walking as much. I get compliments on this style all the time, mostly from boomers who remember wearing them in the 70s. Back when they only had one or two colors. Love them.

I ordered both the Ava and the Vachetta in natural because I had worn them over 40 years ago. I wanted the height of the Vachetta but knowing I would be on my feet for 8 hours on an Italian cobblestone floor I chose to keep the Ava with less height. My feet never ached and I normally have to change shoes 3 times a day! I love them. I also have them in black with a back and no strap in the higher, but the Ava is the best for longtime and term wear. Thank you. I am 61+ and my family thinks I am nuts!

These are the best shoes. I have them in 2 different colors. They're comfortable and really cute, I get compliments whenever I wear them.

I am thrilled with my Kork-Ease shoes! I have also loved the service that I received through Zappos. My order came the next day. I loved the shoes but decided to exchange them for a different size. I had my new shoes the very next day! I look forward to some easy Christmas shopping.

I just love Kork-Ease, They are so retro, well made,last forever, and extremely comfortable. I have these in red, black and brown and will be back for other colors when the weather warms up again.

Great shoe! Comfortable and easy to walk in!!!
