Customer Reviews Kork-Ease Ava 2.0

These shoes are very comfortable! They have great cushioning in the foot bed, The edges curve up, so my toes do not go over the edges of the seam. The leather is very soft! I will be wearing these regularly, walking for 8 hrs straight (beverage server), and I am confident that I will remain comfortable throughout my day! The strap around the heel feels slightly lower than most, but it will be fine. I have slight bunions forming on both feet (inner & outer), but there is a slight gap in the design of this shoe in just the right spot! I ordered a 1/2 size smaller than normal because I know they will stretch, and they fit well.

Great shoes! Stylish, comfy, nice heel height. I just wish that Kork-Ease would offer half sizes, particularly for shoes that cost nearly $150. I am an 8 1/2, so size 8 was a little short for me, (toes right up to the end), but perfect width, whereas the 9 was a good length, but too wide. I compromised by keeping the size 8, but should not have to compromise at this price point. Nevertheless, I bought them in two colors because I love the height, style, comfort, and they are well-constructed.

This is the best wedge/platform shoe I own with regards to how comfortable a shoe can be. There was no breaking in period, it felt soft on first wear and just keeps getting softer and more comfy as you wear it. I was surprised at how comfortable it was, even after a full day of walking, my feet were not tired. It has stable footing and very cute on. I was so impressed that I immediately ordered another color the second day I wore this sandal. It is not cheap but it's so worth it. I normally wear an 8.5 - 9 and the 9 here fits me perfectly.

Love these shoes! The sole is cushy and this shoe just slips on without unbuckling. I bought it in 2 colors and want to buy another black pair just in case.

These are awesome. Beautiful. Love the sculpted sole/ footbed. Would be even more stunning if the inset part of the footbed were a rich chocolate brown. Or the leather wrapping the bottom were choc brown... for some reason I thought this is what I was looking at on-screen, but no... they're 100% black. In my opinion, all black makes it just a bit less wearable in spring/ summer- a bit too goth/ chunky for shorts etc. If it were styled 2-tone I think I could also wear in summer. So, these go back, I'm in New England and we have very short spring/ fall for wearing these with long pants/ heavier clothing. I'm getting the camel ones instead, which are awesome. Love the contrasting cork footbed on that one. But very comfy, and I have difficult feet- bunion etc. Also, leather is soft enough that back strap can be slipped over heel rather than rebuckled every time. Make my feet/legs look good, feminine. I wear 7/7.5, 7 was perfect.

Good quality

This is a beautiful sandal and it would have gone perfectly with my summer outfits. I wanted to love it so! But it just was not comfortable. The length & width of the footbed were perfect, but even on the tighest setting, the sandal would "flop" on my heel with every step. The cork is also much firmer than I expected, there was no give to it. I need a sandal that I can wear walking around for hours and this unfortunately does not fit the bill. I sadly had to return.

Like the other Korks I've tried, these are amazingly comfortable by any standard but particularly so considering they're heels. Plenty of width for my wide feet, too. The catch with Korks is that they run seriously large, easily a full size long...and I've never found a size smaller than a 6! As a 5E/5.5D who typically sizes up to a 6 for width and hopes they run short, if Korks ever does start making smaller sizes I'll be first in line. As with the rest of their styles, the leather is high quality and butter-soft, the footbed is nicely padded and the arch support is fantastic. I like the look of the leather-wrapped heel on these but wonder if they'd be as resistant to scratches as the typical cork.

I wear an 8.5 and went with the size 9. They’re too big, both at the toe and at the strap. I kept them anyway because I love them and wore them right away. They flop a little because they’re too big for me, but no big deal.

I love these shoes and Kork Ease in general. I have a very narrow foot with a high arch so i have cinch these down fairly low but they are still comfortable and keep my foot in place. I get a lot of compliments on the look of these shoes and appreciate the quality of the construction. This is my 5th pair of Kork ease and I will continue to purchase as they evolve their style!

So, so cute, with soft leather and a nice footbed, but unfortunately not good for my plantar fasciitis. Sadly, I must return them after wearing around the house for just ten minutes.

That back ankle strap doesn’t give my foot enough room. Feels like it will give a bit but it was more than the usual snug of a new shoe, more than just a blister-maker. Felt awkwardly tight. Look of them is great and otherwise comfy - this is a good brand for stylish comfort and I’ll keep coming back

Love these sandals. I normally wear a 6.5 medium and they fit just right.

I wanted to keep these shoes so badly but they are just too narrow for my bunion feet. The length was perfect for my size 9 foot and I loved the style and color Sand...but they were just too tight in my toe area and around my bunions. I do have a size Wide foot and thought maybe these would work since they were recommended for people with bunions. If they made this shoe in Wide I would be ten pairs!

I wasn’t quite sure about these because they seemed pretty high, and the arch seemed odd and the heel strap rides very low. But I decided to keep them and I really love them. They’re comfortable - I’m going to buy a second pair in another color.

The left shoe makes a clicking noise. Very strange! I can feel the thump in the platform as I take each step. Sad to send them back because they are beautiful.

This is my 2nd pair of Korkease, the first ones were bought several years ago and are still amazing! After reading the reviews I was a little worried how the new ones would feel. Bottom line: Very cute shoes, and while not as comfortable as my earlier pair...still reasonably comfortable. The arch support is a bit too high for me (others have mentioned it gets better with time...so I'm still holding out hope). Also the suede straps started stretching almost immediately. I can tell I'll need to have new holes punched in them sooner than I'd like. Overall they're keepers.

Super cute and comfortable! They do run about a size too big. I sized down a whole shoe size!

These are pretty cute. They run big, but are otherwise very comfortable. I just wish the heel was maybe 1/2" shorter.

Like the shoe, but does not fit my feet well-

I loved the look and feel of the shoe, but the strap over the toe is very narrow. It squished my toes. Had to send it back. The 2 star comfort is only because it didn't fit well, even though the length was right.

This is a cute shoe. Because the difference between the platform and the heel is pretty low, it's a little on the clunky side. However, that also makes it really comfortable. They kind of feel like you're walking in clogs. The leather wrapped base of these shoes would be ruined the minute I step out of my house...so back to Zappos they go. Unfortunately, they don't have the all cork version in brown.

I purchased these shoes in "soft gold" at a local store and found myself wearing them so often, I decided to buy a second pair in black on Zappos a couple of weeks later. I have a wide foot and few shoes work on my feet, but these do! I also have a terrible time wearing heels, but the platform on these works great for me. I wear them with skirts and jeans. My only problem is that the pair I purchased on Zappos feels a bit more narrow than the pair I bought first, even though I purchased the same size. There may be an issue with uniformity from color to color.

I love these sandals, but am trying to find a more neutral nude color. These are darker than I would like, although not as dark as on the monitor. I may reorder in the Vapor color instead. The fit was good - same as the Austin that I have from last year.

With the Ava 2.0 you get the colored exterior wedge (rather than the cork of the original Ava). The color Golden Sand sounded great but in reality it is not a golden color at all, it is has a pinkish beige undertone which looked unflattering against my skin. I wanted cognac color and Golden Sand is not it. Comfort is great and flattering heel.
