Customer Reviews Kork-Ease Ryder

These shoes are very comfortable and require very little breaking in time. I am 37 with slight arthritis in one foot and was looking to upgrade my booties to something stylish with support. The only reason I give these three stars overall and would NOT recommend is because they are not holding up well. Especially for the quality I would expect from this brand and price point. I have only worn these booties five times. Four of those times were out to dinner where minimal walking was required. After the first two wears the soles are incredibly scuffed, which you can see from the front of the shoe, as it looks like they are slightly wearing away. Then my fifth wear was to my son’s preschool today and getting up and down from a carpeted area scuffed the leather on one toe. I can’t imagine how bad these would look after regular wear.

Ordered 2 sizes; love these and so wanted them to work but even with a half size larger, the back zipper was a problem. Otherwise they would fit and feel fine. Just didn’t work for me

Beautiful boots. I wanted to love these but they didn't feel right. The high part in the front cut into the front of my ankle when walking, and the heel slipped a bit. They just didn't feel stable for me. I wear a size 8.5, but had ordered an 8. The zipper makes a jangly sound with each step, and that drove me nuts.

I wanted to love these boots—they are really cute and seem like they would be comfortable with the cork soles. But unfortunately for me they were extremely uncomfortable. Very narrow in the toe box area and then wide in the heel so that the back of my feet moved up and down and rubbed with every step. Sadly they had to go back.

I really like this brand and I have a similar kork-ease bootie from a couple of years ago that has since been discontinued, but is one of my favorite pair of shoes. I wanted to keep these -- super cute, and relatively comfortable. But they are too low to wear socks, unless you want them to show. I tried them with low socks, but then the socks just slipped off my heel. As I tend to wear boots in fall/winter, wearing them without socks isn't an option. They just didn't work for me. I will be returning them.

It looked a little too Western for how I wanted to wear it.

Loved the style, look and color, but my heel slipped when I walked and the shoe felt tight across the top of my foot. I do have a high instep though, so this might not happen to everyone.

Nice look but didn't like the feel of the footbed. I have flat feet.

I liked the cushioning on the bottom. I walked around the house in them and they felt really comfortable. When I wore them outside the first time, they put pressure on my bunions. By the end of the day. sitting and driving a lot of it, they were too uncomfortable to keep. Really looking for a nice grey pair of boots.

Seem very narrow in the toe

Cute boot but too narrow and there was no support. I would not order again and would not recommend.

These didn't fit at all, I could barely keep them on my feet.

Loved the look of these but the back zipper broke after just a couple of wears. Unacceptable lack of value for this price point.

The heel is made of paper! I wore these 4 times and the back of the heal discolored and the paper started peeling away from the heal below. The other surprise was the edge of the heal in the back is made of some sort of garbage rubber and was actually FRAYING! They looked 3 years old! Now the fun of wrapping it all up and standing in line at the PO!

Snug over the instep and my heel was not snug and lifted with each step. Cute but returning.

They were only okay. Not nearly as comfortable or supportive as my older Kork ease boots. I returned this pair

This brand runs large. Definitely not as comfortable as others I tried.

The upper lip of the front of the boot sat almost right against my front shin.....no way could I wear these without walking and having them hit me in the leg. I am 5'9" tall and have never had a boot come up and rub me in the leg in front. I wished they could make these cuter also.

I had to return these immediately. I do not have wide feet at all and these were way too narrow. I usually where and 8.5 to 9 and have a high arch, I was barely able to get my foot in and they were much too tight. Bummer, they are super cute shoes!

I am returning these because they were much too narrow but the style was cute. Okay fit, not what I expected though I would not purchase them again.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to wear them, they are huge. I ordered size 8, which in reality is a European size 8-9, as stated on the cardboard inserted in the boot. I am nowhere near a size 9. Zappos omitted this information in their description of the boot. I immediately went to the website to order a 7 1/2, but in the time it took for the size 8 to arrive, Zappo's had sold out of 7 1/2. If I had known about the European sizing of this boot, I would have ordered the 7 1/2 instead of the 8. I couldn't be more disappointed, I really want and need this boot, as my last pair (different brand) which lasted several years, is falling apart, I wore them so much. Makes me leery to order from Zappos again.

The heel on these totally came off! I was hoping these would last me a long time. The rest of the boot has worn very well. Very disappointed.

They were good looking but had to go back due to one boot being cut a bit narrow.

The shoes look very nice but the zippers are of poor quality. I wore them twice and have to return them because the zippers pull apart then it gets stuck at the top. Zappos was kind enough to allow me to return them since they are defective.

incredibly uncomfortable
