Kork-EaseTaige 2-Band Platform Clog Sandals

Kork-Ease was born in Brooklyn in 1953. About twenty years later, the brand solidified its spot in footwear history with the release of the famed buffalo sandal; a sky-high platform wedge with crisscrossing thick leather straps.

That sky-high wedge sandal flourished in 1970’s New York. In the aftermath of the spirited 1960’s came the height of bell-bottomed disco fever. It’s impossible to picture any dance floor beneath the disco ball without imagining fashionistas in the crowd wearing our cork wedge.

The sandal, known as the “buffalo sandal,” is the shoe that stood in line at Studio 54. It’s also the shoe that launched a thousand copies. Beyond dance floors, our famed sandal traipsed across Manhattan crosswalks, rounded Brooklyn corners, and populated every corner of the country where disco reigned.

With retro-inspired silhouettes, the same lightweight construction, and bold leathers, Kork-Ease today is crafted for the slightly offbeat, artsy woman. The Kork-Ease woman appreciates the do-it-yourself lifestyle, and embodies a free-spirited vibe. She shops classics updated with a modern twist. In the image of that free-spirited woman, we continue to craft our classic sandals today with a more comfortable construction.
