Customer Reviews Kork-Ease Carlisle

These look and feel like a high quality shoe. The leather is soft, they appear to be well made, and are comfortable right out of the box. Loafers aren’t usually my thing, but I think these look cool in a stylish nerdy sort of way????

Beautiful shoe - excellent materials, craftsmanship, quality, and style. My foot is a bit narrower than average and the shoe fit nicely in length (size 10) but it was too loose over the instep of my foot (too much room between my foot and the leather at the top of the shoe). If the shoe was an oxford style with laces that I could use to customize the fit, I would have kept these for sure. Sad to return them.

After reading the reviews, I purchased this Carlisle shoe in two sizes. The smaller shoe, a 6 1/2 medium, did not hug my heal and although it fit the length didn’t seem as comfortable in this shoe size as the 7 (my normal size). Even the heel fit better in the size 7. I guess my foot shape and the way this shoe hit my arch was the deciding factor in keeping the larger size. It just felt right. It’s a beautiful, classic shoe and I hope to order it in black. Zappos was having trouble with their return system today but as always they were so kind and helped me. I love Zappos and this shoe!

Beautiful loafers. Super soft leather, no break-in time, very comfortable and supportive. I got the white and along with the lug sole it’s an elegant shoe with an edge. Just say yes to these gorgeous loafers.

These loafers are very, very, very comfortable. My feet are slightly wider than C or medium, and because of that it's been hard to find a pair of loafers that fit well. The nature of a shoe with a band across the top usually makes shoes too narrow for me. These really work for me, however. They are super soft leather and feel great on. I have all kinds of foot problems and nerve damage in my leg, and I need supportive, comfortable shoes. I'm not old enough to give up on style, though, and these are pretty good. I do wish they had a bit more heel and/or tread to be just that much more stylish, which is why I knocked one star for style. They are over all great and I'm looking forward to wearing them with jeans or slacks when fall weather actually arrives.

cute but too long for me. to get the right width the length was too long

I bought size 81/2 my usual size. They are long and my heel raises even with socks. I’m considering ordering size 8 if it is in stock and returning the 81/2. I do love the style and the arch is in the right place.

I read other reviews and got a 1/2 size smaller. Normally I wear a 10 and got the 9 1/2. My feet are wide with a high instep and I found the width and instep to work great. I think the heel may slip, but I haven't had a pair of loafers or flats that didn't slip. I just put some moleskin there to stop the rubbing. I got the tan, but they were darker than the photo, more like a saddle color. Not a deal breaker, but I would have preferred the lighter leather color.

Ordered down a full size but still too big. I could tell that ordering down a half a size Would be too small. So I guess I’m out of luck. I’m gonna give up on kork ease since this is a typical problem. I really wanted them to work out.

reviews noted to size down, normally 10/ordered 9.5 and they still felt a whole size too big!

Very nice, well made and comfortable shoes. They run half size large- I am solid size 10 and they were falling off my feet. I exchanged for 9.5 and they fit perfectly. Comfortable straight from the box. I was looking for loafers but every time I tried they were stiff and uncomfortable. Kork Ease is the winner!

6 was quite tight in the front so I exchanged for 6.5. They fit great in the front, my heel slips in the back. They’re so cute and I have a hard time finding shoes that fit so I bought insoles and wore thick-ish socks so I can get away with it…but worried about them stretching over time.

Shoes are very large. I wear size 8.5. Ordered 8.5; were huge.

These loafers are comfortable right out of the box. They are a classic style and should last for a long time. I have a high arch and my foot is wide toward my toes and these shoes do not pinch or feel loose at my heel. Great for work with jeans or pants. I will wear these at my next work conference.

I've already wept about having to return them. They were my favorite shoes ever & there are no more in my favorite color (pink). Beautiful soft leather, very well made.

I am returning these with the greatest reluctance. I've had my eye on them for ages & couldn't resist the sale. They are too big for my foot. Too long & too wide. I tried them with socks & they would not stay on my feet. There are other colors but I wanted the pinks & there aren't any more to be had. Some lucky person will buy them instead while I mourn my loss.

I have not been able to wear loafers in many years due to failed foot surgery. I think these work! Will be ordering more. Foot conditions include arthritis & bunions. They do seem to run large. I am an 8.5 in Brooks, 8 in Finn and 7.5 in these shoes.

Beautiful soft leather and amazing color. Huge sizing. I am always an 8.5, including this brand. 7.5 fit perfectly.

Ordered half size smaller as recommended.

I would have loved this loafer if it was a bit wider across the bunion. Nice quality and style. Had to return due to slightly too narrow for me.

Beautiful shoes. Super comfortable, and look so nice. The leather is soft, and a beautiful color. They were too big, but maybe just because I wanted to wear them without socks.

True to size. Sosososoooooo comfy.

Size was great. Good to be back in loafers.

Size half size larger, true to width

Very comfortable and beautiful shoe. I’ve received many compliments from both men and women. I’m normally an 8.5 or 9 size shoe, but in these the 8 fit perfect.
