Customer Reviews Kork-Ease Para

This is my 2nd pair of Kork-Ease (I couldn't afford them during the early 70's Kork-Ease sandal era). I wear them when I want the ease of a sandal but more foot coverage. My feet are quite damaged, but I can do a few hours of shopping in them. They fit securely and comfortable on my feet so I feel confident wearing them while driving. The clogs go with everything without looking frumpy or earth-muffinish. There's a bit of cushioning in them that is nice. I hope this model sticks around because I'd like to get another color this fall.

These shoes are beautifully made and super comfortable. I have a very narrow foot and they were too wide and sloppy on me. Good cushioning and looked very cute with jeans. Sorry that I needed to return them.

I'm between an 8.5 and a 9 in shoes depending upon the brand. I hate it when my heel is right at the edge of the shoe. This 9 gave me about 1 cm of space from the end of the shoe which was perfect. Also this shoe is very comfortable, almost like you're wearing your favorite slippers. On one shoe the interior stitching which is at the point of the V shoe on the top was rather rough. If I wanted to go shoeless it would be irritating toe me so because of this I was thinking of taking them back. I wore them around my bedroom a few times and for some reason the stiching relaxed and is not rubbing on my foot at all. The style is not like your traditional clog, the simple design elevates this shoe.

I love these shoes. True to size, and comfortable all day. I have them in all three colors, beautifully made with soft, supple, creamy leather inside and out. I just wish they were also made in black.

Love, love, love these but the 8 is too small (I'm usually an 8 or 8 1/2) and Zappos doesn't have a 9 in stock. Sad to send them back. They are a hip update on the clog. Lightweight and super comfortable and not clunky-feeling when walking. Will have to look elsewhere to find my right size in these.

Super cute but way way too small! Im usually a 7. The leather is very nice, soft. Id try two sizes up.

The fit was good. I’m usually a size 8, sometimes an 81/2. I ordered an 8 and I’m glad. I have a very high arch and I wouldn’t want these any bigger. The Color is nice. My foot stays in the shoe very well. The turquoise if fun.

Who ever said," If the shoe fits, buy it in every color" was definitely a Kork-Ease fan. As soon as I put on the Para Mule in the right size, I wanted every color. I love Kork-Ease style, and covered platform, I have multiple styles of sandals, generally in light brown and black, and they are my favorite go-to summer footwear. The leather is always sturdy and formed and lovely. Well done! Kork-Ease designers, you are definitely my kind of shoe peeps. THAT being said, I run btwn a size 7.5 and 8M. I originally bought the 8M. Foot bed length was about 0.25 inch too long, which was fine, but my foot slid around in the shoe. I have an average foot proportionally, so I ordered the 7M with skepticism. Voila! Perfect!! I even asked my spouse, "do these shoes look too small for me?" He said, "your heel is not hanging over the edge." I have not been able to take them off since I put them on, I love them so much. Kork-Ease, Please make them in candy apple red!

Okay, I have RA and my feet are a mess. I have excruciating pain in one foot (for now) that defies description and is intolerable. I live in socks or slippers at this point. Enter KorkEase Para. While I don't like the implications of the unfortunate name (para? really?) they are Heaven sent! I just attended a 7 hour long, (mostly standing, lots of walking) wedding in a huge venue with lots of stairs. I made it through the entire event with barely any foot pain! How can this be, you ask? So, the saga, as follows: first I ordered a size 8 and 9. Since it was too painful to wear any of my many size 7 to 7 1/2 shoes, I thought sizing up would be advisable. Beautiful, but far too large, I exchanged for a size 7. A tiny bit short at first, but even with a dress sock my high instep, narrow heel and semi-high arched foot fit in fine. The 7 was perfect. The back rim was a bit short, but the shoes STRETCH with the wearing and conform to your foot. Size 7 is perfect, so I'd recommend these as true to size or a tiny bit large. At any rate, you can't go wrong, these sell for $60 more at Department stores (!!!) and the fit and finish is perfection. Keep in mind the high grade leather is meant to be distressed so don't assume the shoes were worn if there are bends or wrinkles in the hide. Best shoes I've found in decades! Stylish and comfortable, how rare! Imagine wearing clogs to a semi formal wedding -- with slacks for professional events too. I'm impossible to fit and find most shoes to be akin to torture devices. Not "Para!" Highest recommendation from me!

Love these! They’re incredibly comfortable right out of the box. I’m typically a 7 1/2 across the board — I got an 8 and they fit perfect, so I would definitely say size up if you’re between sizes.

I absolutely love these clogs which I got in turquoise. The leather is very soft and supple, and with that slit on the instep there was enough "give" to accommodate my high instep. I'm normally an 8- 8.5WW but ordered these in a 9 knowing my wide feet would not go all the way to the front, which they didn't, but I got some foam toe protectors meant for ballet pointe shoes, and that took up the extra toe space and my heel comes just within 1/4 of the back, which is perfect!

Love them but too small. I wear an 11 and seemed a whole size too small.

Beautiful mules, but too small for my size 11 feet. My feet are sliding out the shoes while walking, may be because they are too small for me, or too wide (my feet are not wide).

I loved the original ones that I bought in black. I thought that I would try a smaller size in yellow since the black ones were a tiny bit big. This size hit me a little to small. I don't like my heels to hang over the end of the shoe. I am returning the yellow ones also because they had been worn and were dirty. I feel Zappos need to pay a little more attention when people return worn shoes.

They run small. I usually wear a 7 or 7.5, but got the 8, and my heal was just at the edge. They sort of slide off your foot with every step so that you feel like you have to bunch your toes up for them not to fall off. Walking slowly around my living room, they flung off twice in about a minute. You'd have to really concentrate for these to work, or sit in one place. The leather is very soft, and the blue color is gorgeous.

I wanted to love these shoes. They are super cute and stylish, but my foot did not want to stay straight in the shoe. My heel kept turning slightly in and off the foot bed, making my whole ankle roll. Sending back, unfortunately.

Magical level comfort in an (oxymoronic, i know) elegant clog. Like a unicorn, how can this even exist? Pure comfort for my tortured feet that have survived bunion and reconstructive surgery, severe arthritis etc. Very first actually wearable shoes I've found in decades. I wish Kork Ease would make this style a staple, just add more colors every season.

Soft leather, instantly comfortable, looks great with slim ankle pants or pencil skirt

I wear a 6.5 and got a 7 and they fit perfectly. I can walk in them all day, no pain. They look good with skirts, capris and jeans. I have the light blue and yellow. Love them!

I am baffled by Zappos recommendation to order one size up. I believed them, ordered a 10 instead of my usual 9, and they were too big. The 9 fit perfectly. These shoes are true to size. And also super cute and comfortable ?

As a gal with plantar fasciitis I was soo happy to have found these clogs. I primarily wear Vionic sandals as a Florida girl but needed a closed toe option for cooler days. These are stylish, comfortable and have above average arch support.

These are very cute and very comfortable. They’re not “orange” but a nice luggage brown with an orange warm undertone

I really like these on. My feet are sensitive and these are very comfortable. They go with jeans and leggings nicely. I think these will be my new go to. The material is soft leather, but it has sort of a vinyl look to me. The price point could be better. Overall I would buy them again.

So cute! So comfortable! Plenty wide but don’t look like “wide” shoes.

Stylish shoes, beautiful color, and true to size. Also very comfortable.
