Orleans Shoe Co. — Fitted in Person
Women's Kork-Ease
Leather sandals, wedges and platforms on a cork base, from a brand born in Brooklyn in 1953. The Myrna, Ava and Tutsi, in a lot of colors.
The thing everybody gets wrong
Don't Size Up for the Straps
Most Kork-Ease sandals come in whole sizes, and the soft leather straps loosen as you wear them. If you're a half size, going up can leave you sliding around by August. Try both sizes on before you decide.
The Styles
Myrna 2.0 — the wedge
A cork wedge with leather straps. Height without the wobble, in black, brown and metallics.
Ava 2.0, Tutsi and Yazmin
More leather sandals on cork, in black, brown, cream and gold. The Tutsi also comes in a crossband version.
Macey — the platform
A platform sandal for when you want the height.
Ellinor, Aime, Shilo and Anny
Full-grain leather styles, and the ones that come in half sizes.
How Kork-Ease Should Fit
- Most sandals come in whole sizes. A few leather styles come in halves
- Straps should feel snug to start. The leather gives
- Your heel sits on the footbed and your toes don't hang over the edge
- On a wedge or platform, walk a lap before you decide
Why We Carry It
Kork-Ease gives you real height without feeling like a heel. The cork base is light, the leather is the soft kind that breaks in fast, and they work for everything from a wedding to a porch party.
