2nd pair of Bette's - I got the black a couple of days ago and thanks to Zappos I got the gray today. I mean they shipped them overnight for free. The gray is so unbelievably cute, the color is awesome. They seem a little more like taupe to me. These run right on as far as size goes. The gray are my favorite now. Also the fist night I got the black ones I went out on the town and stood in a bar for 5 hours. The most comfortable shoe at this height I have ever had. You will probably need more colors than just one.

Great shoe w/one flaw~~ I bought this shoe in almost every color except the metallics. They're by far the most comfortable 4 inch platforms I've ever worn, and I wear platforms all the time. But after about three wearings, the left shoe of one pair wore all the way through on the inside heel and the right shoe shows partial wear, too. I don't want to give them up, so I put pieces of packing tape on the worn spots and am hoping that will save the shoes!

Be careful!! Don't get these shoes... because you will need to get them in every color and they come in lots of colors. I got them and they are more comfortable than any shoe of this height that I have ever worn. They are cushioned and they rock as you walk making them easy to walk in. They're gorgeous and now I need to save up the rest of the cash to get the whole collection. I figure if they have been around since the 60's well... they should stay in style forever.

Love Them! I have these in Silver and I love them! They're surprisingly comfy for having such a high wedge, with a lightly padded footbed. The leather is nice and soft (there was no "break-in" time for these), they are very lightweight and not clunky, and best of all, I can actually walk in them. I want another pair or two!

So glad they're back! I love my Kork-Ease just as much as I did so many years ago. They are the perfect casual shoe for jeans. Also love the updated wedge/heel - it's sexier than the original, but just as comfortable.

Very 70's with modern twist!!! Brings back those golden days of the 70's. These are the lightest "Kork" sandals I've ever purchased. Very comfortable, but certainly not all day comfort due to the decline towards the front of your feet. Footbed could use softer beddings for the price, but overall...a great platform sandals. I purchased the silver and it goes w/ everything.

VERY NICE - I received this shoe in purple for an early Mother's Day gift. I LOVE them! My conservative husband even likes them. The only reason they got 4 stars in comfort is because, well they are platforms. ORDER A HALF SIZE LARGER THAN NORMAL! I usually wear a 7 1/2, and ordered an 8. Good thing. They fit like a 7 or 7 1/2! I highly recommend these well made shoes-they will never go out of style.

I just received my shoes and I almost cannot believe how comfy and cute they really are! I know I will be wearing these all summer with everything. These are great for girls who love heels but just cannot wear them everyday.

These pants fit so well, with the perfect amount of stretch. I have thicker, athletic thighs, and it can be struggle to find pants that fit well - but these are great!

Love these! They are so flattering and a great pop of color. I also got them in mustard/yellow. The fit is great and I love the contoured waist -- covers all the right places.

These are so perfect! I'm 5'2" and 105 lbs and ordered a size 25 and I love them. Color is an espresso brown and no hemming required. Couldn't be better.

These might be the softest cords I've ever owned. Super comfortable and love the color. They are pretty stretchy. I might have been able to go down a size. They are still cute in my normal size, but it's always nice to size down. I want every color for fall Love, love, love!

These are incredibly comfortable and the choice in colors is nice. They fit snugly with no gapping in the waist, but I found that I had to order a size down. My measurements are 35/25/36 and I usually wear a size 26, but 25 was perfect in these. One thing I would change, is the inseam could be tad bit longer. 30½" is almost too short for my 5'6½" height.
