Customer Reviews Kork-Ease Tutsi

I really wanted to love these beautiful sandals. In the end, they just didn't work for me. I ordered both a 10 and an 11 and neither fit. The leading edge of the strap hit my toes and my sole would nick the raised edge of the heel and sides as I walked. The workmanship is beautiful, the leather is beautiful. But they are a no go for my feet. On another note, is anyone else bothered by the fact that size 10 1/2 is so rarely made? What makes shoe manufacturers think smaller feet deserve half sizes but 10-11 feet do not?

No cushioning, minimal arch support. But most frustrating, the internal edge of the top strip is raw -- so it rubs against your skin. Not soft, cuts in.

I’m a huge Kork-Ease fan. The size 7 always fits me perfectly. In this shoe, the 7 was too short. Ordered the 8, which was the right length, but it was so different...the leather was pebbled instead of smooth, the edge of the sole was white instead of saddle, and they were much wider. Back they go.

Love, love, love this shoe! It feels good on your foot and it is nice to just slip in and go! I have worn my pair out and will need to replace soon. The cork on the bottom can get a little dirty over time but just wipe out with a cloth and all is well! Can't go wrong with this purchase.

This is shoe is like walking on a sponge, in a good way. So cushiony and soft. The leather upper seem like it could rub and create a blister, mine did not. I got 3 compliments on the first day i wore them. I stand for a living. These shoes are great!

I am between sizes. I first ordered down. The size was a little too short. I returned them and ordered up. They were a perfect fit! They are extremely comfortable and best of all I do not walk out of them, which has happened in other slides that I have purchased.

I’m loving these slides so far. Got them a few days ago in ‘navy’ which to me seems more periwinkle. I have high arches that need support and what I’m guessing may be the beginning of arthritis in the area of my big toe. I need practical shoes, but don’t find many to be attractive. I’m surprised at how comfortable these are for me. The leather upper is soft and molds to my foot and the cork footbed offers a nice amount of support. I’ve already ordered a second pair and am considering a third. I typically wear Birkenstock or similar around the house for comfort and support, but these are my new go-to for in the house and look attractive enough that I’ll wear them everywhere else as well.

The pair I received is damaged. I originally saw the shoes in a boutique but they didn't have my size, so I searched and found them on your site. I have ordered from you before with great success. I'm really disappointed because I wanted to wear them this weekend. The pair is received appears to have damaged leather (coloring) all over both shoes. Your website pair looks like what I expected to receive. Your website pair looks like the one I saw in the store but isn't what I received. The leather looks faded.

Beautiful shoes , great quality, cork molded foot bed but not a great fit on me. Top band across the foot was a bit too big

These are a true size 9. Not too narrow, no extra width. I have slightly wide feet and in sandals I can usually get away with a 9, but not these. I have to return. Excellent quality, just as pictured. Cork is super comfortable - I will try the 10 but may be too big.

This is a beautiful shoe, the leather is soft and the color as pictured. I am ordered my usual size 9 and while the length of the shoe was perfect, the upper leather strap was so big I couldn't keep the shoe on my foot. There was at least a 1/2 inch gap between the top of my foot and the leather. This is a problem I find with most sandals and flip flops now, they are cut so big they won't stay on my foot.

This shoe is not navy as described. It's an odd shade of blue. Almost like a faded blue jean color of blue. It's much lighter than the picture. Wish they would have used another name for it. Going back now.

I had looked at these shoes prior, finally purchased. But I was disappointed in that the strap was too large and hence my foot pushed through too far to the front. I have a otherwise very regular foot and do not have a history of this problem.Really a shame because I do like them otherwise .

VERY poorly made. I wore these 1 week and they started falling apart. The glue came unglued revealing that the base of the shoe is not cork at all, but plastic! They are comfortable, yes, but they are falling apart.

Extremely comfortable, very cute. Hold up well to my everyday abuse here in central Florida around the house, outside and to the beach. Great on my feet on the hard tile floor.

This is a very cute shoe but the toe opening was too big and the opening to slide your foot into was also too big. I'm going to order a size down and hope they fit.

Loved these and the length was perfect ( size 6) , but the leather strap across my foot was way to loose and my foot slid around side to side in them and slid forward when I took a step. If the leather strap had fit more snug I would have kept them. I dont have narrow feet and I have a fairly high instep so this surprised me. I was disappointed they didnt work for me. Very cute and comfy otherwise.

I gave these shoes 5 stars because they are great shoes I love them, unfortunately they didn’t fit and I have to send them back. I am a half size (9 1/2) so I got the size 9. They were just too short, my toes were right at the very edge as were my heels and when I walked it got worse. I know for sure that the 10 would be too big and I would walk right out of them. I am very disappointed because I really love the shoes, very comfortable footbed and very soft leather.

Tricky for half sizes. Kork-ease recommended going down if you are a half size. I'm an 8.5 - the 8 fit perfectly everywhere...except for the length. Little too short. I ordered the 9 and the length is better, but overall they do feel a little big. Wish they came in an 8.5, which would have been perfect. I did keep the 9 because they are super cute. Hoping they don't stretch out, since they are already a little big.

Love these! I have trouble with bunions and need arch support. This shoe is very, very comfortable, even with these difficulties. Even better? They are smart looking, not ortho looking. Count me so pleased!

I really liked these but they were too wide. Had to return.

This is my third pair of Tutsi. They are perfect out if the box for me. I’m a 6/12 with high instep and width across my toe box area. I get 7’s and they fit me perfect. I don’t slide out. Love them!!! Thank you Zappos for amazing service !!

I normally wear a 7 1/2 or 8 but needed a 7 in these sandals because they run a little long and wide. My feet are on the narrow side. If you have a wider foot you may be able to order your true size. I love them. This is my second pair! The cork footbed is so comfortable. They look great with jeans or dressier pants or skirts. Would highly recommend.

these are a perfect fit and comfortable from the very beginning--no breaking in required. People compliment them all the time.

I ordered the Tutsi in brown Etiope and it is the same as pictured, a lovely, rich, warm toned brown. The shoe was very high quality. The leather extremely soft and in my opinion would not cause blisters or require a breakin period. The inner sole was too squishy for my taste. I have sciatica on my left leg and if soles are too “foamy, squishy” it irritates the nerve pain. If I did not experience this, I would have kept these beautiful, well made shoes. I have a wider foot also and they fit it perfectly. No pinching at all. I loved the simple style of this shoe too. You could wear it with anything.
