Let's see: Is the shoe fundamentally unnatractive? Check. Is its popularity fueled by much hype? Check. Is it overpriced for what it is? Check. Will customers defend their decision to purchase the shoes by gushing about how "comfortable" they are? Check.
Reality check: IMHO, if you're sacrificing looks for "comfort" and paying $185 to do so, you're caught up in the hype.
I don't object to the style of the shoe. In fact, I would say that the Prada version is executed nicely. The Prada shoe is more chic than clunky. The Kork-Ease, on the other hand, is more clunky than anything.
Left: the Kork-Ease
Right: Prada platform sandal
I wore Kork-ease religiously 12 months a year (in Connecticut...) in the 70's and can attest to their comfort. Were they the rage at the time? Of course... YOU HAD TO HAVE THEM!!!

You know what? I think I may be wrong. Kork-eases are not getting the celebrity endorsement Uggs did. Hmmm...
