Customer Reviews Kate Spade New York Karolina

You would be crazy not to buy these shoes. Let me start off by saying that I have over a dozen of Kate Spade Karolina, and only Karolinas. Weddings, parties, girls’ night out, work - I have not found one occasion I couldn't wear these shoes. I travel around the world for work, and these shoes are dependable as can be. Hills, pavements, slippery floors, etc - the shoes are stable and comfortable as always. The only thing I would complain about it is that Kate Spade never holds the same colors for more than a season, so if you are in love with a certain color of the Karolina (for me, it was the silver satin), you better buy a few pairs because they will never release that same color/texture again. And the other thing is, probably due to the fact that I wear these shoes 8+ hours every day, after work, and weekends I find myself having to replace a new pair every year. But in terms of the money you can save from foot massages. This shoe is worth every penny.

I purchased the black satin and blush patent for a string of weddings I have to attend this fall. I only kept the black satin as the blush patent did not match my skin tone. I was not disappointed. They are flattering and comfortable. I have worn them for multiple nights, over six hours each time, and I have not had any problems whatsoever. I was concerned with the heel height, as I do not normally wear anything but flats, but those concerns proved to be unfounded. They have been great!

The Best Shoe- Hands Down - The Kate Spade Karolina is THE most comfortable shoe. I own these in multiple colors and wear them whenever I can. And for the customer who thought these were for those under 35, I'm 53 and love wearing these. They make my legs look long and great.

Lovin the Karolina in Carolina - This is such a striking and sophisticated shoe. It is very well made. I preferred the camel patent color. It goes with everything. If you aren't a fan of toe cleavage, be aware that you will have a little with this shoe.

Most comfortable pumps- and stylish too! These shoes are great- I have purchased them twice (with slightly different textures). I wear them to work and out every day. They felt a little snug when I first purchased them but they quickly streched to be very comfortable. Just be careful with the heel- it's made of plastic and my first pair buckled after about 6 months.

The Karolina was very nice. I ordered a W since I have bunions. They felt and looked great. But they were a lot more expensive than the Cole Haan Violet Air 90 pumps and they looked pretty similar. They did not feel as cushioned as the Cole Haan. So for the same look, slight worse off comfort and a bit more than the Air 90, I choose the Air 90.

I love this shoe. It is comfortable, but I still use gel insoles for extra comfort. They make your legs look fabulous and they are just a classy looking shoe. I own 3 pair and counting.

I love these shoes. I've done a lot of walking on city pavement while wearing them and have been pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they are even though they don't have any platform or padding to cushion the impact. They have a pretty, classic look and go equally well with skirts and pants.

With the quest for the nude pump at an all time high (thank you Duchess of Cambridge) this shoe in the pale blush patent is perfect. I loved the color and the style. Unfortunately I will have to return this shoe as I found that the shoe ran true to size (usually I have to order half a size up in Kate Spade). If you are trying to decide between two sizes my bet would be on the smaller size for this particular shoe.

Granted, I don't own a pair of Choo's or Blahnik's...but these are the most comfortable heels I have even owned. I bought the camel color and they go with everything. Period. Everything. I have wider feet since giving birth and these pumps have a wider toe box that give my feet more room. I love these shoes.

These are by far my favorite Kate Spade shoes ever! The Karolina shoes are so comfortable, have a great heel, true to size and last forever. I have them in nude & black patent. If they came out in Red or Pink, I'd have those too!

Fabulous shoes! Love them! They are so beautiful and also comfortable, even for a high heel. So glad I bought them!

Probably the BEST pump I own! Fits true to size, and extremely comfortable! Heel is 3.5 in. instead of 4", which is really manageable. If you have to walk around in heels all day for work, the Karolina is your shoe! Padding in the toe, etc. And the round toe is the PERFECT round! I couldn't love this shoe more...I own it in three colors now!

What a Great Shoe! I am a Stuart fan but found myself in need of a "nude" pump. All of his were out in my size so I took Zappos suggestion for Kate. I ordered the camel (tan) color and love it. It goes with everything. I am between a 61/2 and 7. I ordered the 7 and the fit is good. The shoe is well balanced for heel height and comfortable for me to walk in. Will definitely consider the shoes in other colors as well. Kudos to Zappos for amazing customer service!

I was looking for these shoes all over stores and the internet and finally found them at Zappos. The Karolina collection of Kate Spade is amazing. The shoes fit great and you can walk the whole nine yards in them without any pain. I am contemplating on buying more of these.

Great-looking, solid shoe - I have worn these shoes all day for work, and my feet were never uncomfortable. The shoe is a classic pump with modern lines and I plan to buy the camel pair in addition to the black patent I already own.

I have been wearing Kate Spade's Karolina shoes for work for a long time and they are by far my favorite pairs. They are extremely comfortable and I can walk around in them all day and all evening. The rounded toe and soft leather are really comfortable and I never have issues with toe pain (from being pushed together) like I do with other shoes. And they hold up amazingly well. Aside from having the heel guard replaced once (after wearing them for a couple of years), the leather is in perfect condition - no tears, no creases, they look as good as new. I would highly recommend these shoes.

I wore these last Friday for the first time to a charity event and they were comfortable all night and I was on my feet the whole time. They look stunning on, a very classy look. I wore them with a black cocktail dress and my Chanel bag. I got the nude color which is slightly darker than my skin color and they made my legs look very long even though I'm short. I love them and will definitely purchase them in other colors. I wish they came in red!

These are the best pumps EVER!!! I have tried everything - from Steve Madden to Prada and Gucci. I have been wearing the Karolina's since they first came out. They are soooooo comfortable, fit true to size and are the most AMAZING shoe ever. I only wish Kate Spade would make them in a simple black leather.

You know that amazing feeling you get when you slip on a pair of beautiful, black silk dress shoes and you just know this is going to be one heck of a night? Well, that's my experience with these Kate Spade Karolina pumps. I do not have great legs, not even good ones, and these shoes present such an elegant and graceful line that my legs look pretty good. These shoes are well made, classic and comfortable. The heel height is just enough to give you that long-legged line, but not so high that your toes go blue from lack of blood flow. Pair these with a short, flirty taffeta skirt or an elegant long gown and you will never be wrong. That's just it, these shoes are just never wrong!

Wow! These pumps are not only comfortable, but sexy and elegant. I bought the black satin in 6.5 and wish to buy more in the near future. I can't believe I can walk around for hours in them with no fatigue. Keep 'em coming in a variety of colors.

I'd buy them in every colour if I could afford it! I got a great deal a while ago and bought 2 pairs of these Karolina's, a brown croc and pink croc, and they are my FAVORITE shoes! Doesn't take very long to break them in and they're so comfy and stylish that I wear them all the time, even with jeans on casual days. Also comfy enough that I wear them when I know I'll be walking for a while. I am already looking to purchase several more pairs in other colours as soon as I can afford it! I agree with the other review that the tips on the heels do wear down pretty quick since they are plastic, but I just had them retipped recently so it's a small repair that was totally worth it for the shoe!
