Kork-Ease began in Brooklyn in 1953 as a comfort-shoe company. In the disco-fevered '70s, the brand spurred a nationwide trend when its "buffalo" sandal—a cork-soled, sky-high, leather-strapped platform wedge—became the must-have shoe of the glitterati at Studio 54. Today, women choose Kork-Ease for its lightweight comfort, consistent quality, beautiful leathers and retro-inspired silhouettes.
