Kork-Ease Ava
Kork-Ease Myrna
70's Superstar!

 

The Kork-Ease Platform Sandal was the quintessential 70's shoe.  It is still made in the same comfortable wedge style with hand-crafted quality.

Available in several heights: Bette (4 in.), Ava (3 in.), and Myrna (1.5 in.), as well as a choice of cork or suede-covered wedge platform and several distinctive colors.

However, the 'natural buff' with suede-covered wedge and platform shown here is the Classic Kork-Ease most beloved and revered from the 1970's.

70's MEN'S FASHION


70's Men's Fashion: High-Waist Trousers, Bell Bottoms, Floral Print Shirts, Polka Dots - These were the "In" stuff of the time!   -  'WOW'

 1970s men's fashion was characterized by several distinct fashion trends that have left an indelible image of the decade.  These include platform shoes which appeared on the fashion scene in 1971 and often had soles two to four inches thick.

These were worn by both men and women, who also often wore high platform sandals. Wide-legged, flared jeans and trousers were another fashion mainstay for both sexes throughout most of the decade.

We can see several of these mainstays in the picture above - Fuller hair with a longer cut over the ears, long-sleeve dress shirt with wide pointed collar, high-waist trousers with front crease and patch pockets.

Also the use of a wide leather belt with large square buckle, prints including stripes and plaid, bell-bottom trousers with flare and wide cuffs, and of course platform shoes.  These two guys have all that going on!
