Customer Reviews Kork-Ease Velma

I love these shoes. I was able to wear them right away without issues and walked about 4 miles in them without any issues. I do have a wide foot, so I ordered up a 1/2 size. The first time wearing them I had a thin pair of socks on, they do stretch a bit with wear, so I am now able to wear thicker socks. These booties are super cute with jeans, love them. I have the rum/cognac color and just ordered the black suede. Love them, I hope they last a long time!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE these - I wore them all day the first day I got them and it was a day of traveling, so I had a lot of walking through airports. There was minor pinching in the toes initially until they were broken in, but now they are one of the most comfortable pair of boots or shoes I own. And they are very stylish - I get compliments constantly.

Cute and comfortable, a little tight at first but stretched to be cozy pretty quick. Great traction for winter weather. I'd buy them again.

Felt true to size. Could wear right out of the box, very comfortable and this style will never go out! If you want to wear big thick socks, order a size up.

I find these booties to be extremely comfy for booties. I am not comparing their arch support to tennis shoes, but they have great arch support for booties. I wear an 8.5-9 depending on the shoe and I did order these in a 9. They feel great on my foot. I have a slender foot and don't have any problems with the elastic sides. These will be a great staple for my wardrobe. Love the taupe color!

Love these boots, get tons of compliments. A little hard to get on the first time, but after a few times of wearing no problems. Just make sure to use the tab on the back to pull them on. Fairly good arch support, very comfortable.

Only worn once but appear to be made well and comfortable!

Loved these but they were a bit too narrow in the toe.

Love these boots. High quality buttery smooth leather and most importantly, very comfortable for everyday wear. I have lots of foot problems and it is hard to find good shoes I can walk in all day. My go-to boot this winter; didn't need a break in period like some of my others (more expensive boots, like Frye). I normally wear a 8.5 is most shoes but found I needed to go up half a size in these. Zappos customer service was exceptional as usual; first pair rubbed my foot in a weird spot so zappos exchanged for a 2nd and they fit like a glove. I bought the black leather but likely get another pair in brown.

I was worried that these were too small at first, but they broke in nicely and are very comfortable now!

These shoes are beautiful! Love the style, great quality. If you have a wide or a high volume foot, these are not for you. I do, so sadly these are going back, but I really wish they had fit!

I'm in love with these boots. I'd buy every color if I could.

I have had these for a year, and absolutely love them. Fit true to size, and are the most comfortable boots I own. In Wisconsin, a perfect spring and fall boot.

I was a little worried these wouldn't fit, since I'm a pretty true size 5.5 and the smallest size is 6. But they're a good fit - I can even wear them without socks. These are really nice, all-purpose boots with all-day comfort and they seem like they are well made and will last a long time.

Love these boots! Super comfortable and stylish. The finish is just the right amount of worn in. Grip on sole is better than other booties I've had in the past. Will be wearing these ALL winter and spring!

Perfect. Exactly the low heel booties I have been looking for without a pointy-toe. Taupe suede is the perfect neutral color too.

After trying numerous pairs and brands of booties this fall - I think I've finally found "the one". This boot is fantastic! The rum/cognac color is beautiful, and it goes well with skinny jeans, skirts and dresses. They were comfortable straight out of the box, and I see them getting a lot of use in the future.

Very solid construction, and comfortable, too. I wear with jeans but would be a cute shoe with a skirt or dress. I expect these will last a good, long time.

Beautiful buttery suede and great style, but they run small, and there was an area on my left ankle that pinched. As much as I would have liked to keep them, they hurt. Order a size up if you are unsure.

Beautiful boots!! I was really excited from the reviews as I have a narrow heel and it's made finding boots without laces nearly impossible. These did have narrower heels, but still didn't work for me. I'm very unhappy as they are so beautiful. I will keep looking.

These are my new favorite boots! I was able to wear them straight out the box and can walk for miles. They look great with skinny jeans and I always receive compliments when I wear them out. I went with the suede and it's very versatile but it does show dirt pretty easily. I may have to buy a pair of cognac too. I found them to run true to size and width.

I am always looking for the ultimate in style and comfort - comfort can be difficult as I have narrow feet and little toleration for anything that binds, pinches, is too sloppy, or can't be worn all day. I read the reviews for Velma and determined the width might be good - and it is. The boot is quite attractive as it looks a little Western, but not. This boot has its own personality. I chose the burgundy and am delighted with their being eye catching and wardrobe-lifting. I liked them so much that I bought a second pair in black. I only wish they were waterproof as the weather in Maine demands that we are always ready for weather challenge. Beyond that, I love that they are casual or dressy!

Very well made. I wanted an ankle boot that wasn't too large around the ankle. These are perfect. I am a size 7.5-8. I ordered a 7.5. They are a little small to wear with socks. So maybe order a half size larger than ordinarily. They are very nice looking and very well made. They did stretch a tiny bit.

I had never heard of Kork-Ease when I spotted these boots on a different website, but they were out of stock in the size/color I wanted. Zappos to the rescue! I'm a size 10, so I was bit nervous after reading the reviewers who said they had to go up a half size... not really an option for us size-10 gals. (Like really though, what DO you do if you are size 10.5?? I see 11 in stock way more often.) Anyway, when I saw there was only one pair left in my size I figured it was destiny and snapped it up. I agree that they are snug but for me, not uncomfortably so, and I can mitigate by wearing a thinner sock. I wore them for the first time, just out to run errands, nothing too ambitious, and I found myself wishing I had more places to go so I could walk in these more. They are great. My feet feel supported, and the soles do not slip on smooth floors. And I already feel like the initial stiffness is going away. The heels do make sound when you take a step, but not super loud, and I think that's normal for any boots. VERY happy with my purchase and feeling lucky that I found these when I did!

I loved these immediately...they are gorgeous. They are a lot more expensive than I would typically spend, but after purchasing (and returning) several other brands, I am very happy with this purchase. The quality is such that they will last for a long time. I usually run between an 8.5 and 9. I ended keeping the size 9 in these shoes to accommodate wearing socks in the winter.
