Not only for wine bottles anymore, cork is one of this season's must-have materials. Designers are using this earthy material for the heels, soles, and sometimes for the entire shoe! The look is casual and funky. The best part is that cork is comfortable. The porous material has some give, which means that the material can absorb some of the impact on your foot. No need to worry about the height of the heel anymore!
