Any of you like Corky's shoes?

I saw a few pair I like on evine. I have never tried the brand. Need to know comfort and if they run small.

I got a pair in teal with a phony turquoise stone. Very cute and flattering on the foot but not particularly comfortable. Very little, if any padding, and rough on the inside.

I found a pair similar to Corkys at New York shoes where I live, they are identical they are called spring step L'artiste. They are light weight and very cute. This brand seems to run narrow and I have a narrow foot. They are comfortable, however this brand does not seem to have a lot of padding. I believe the price was about the same. When I saw Corkys on Evine I thought they were very cute and different. So I went to the shoe stores around my area to find something like them.

The is a brand of shoes called Spring Step that is very arty, but they're extremely well-padded and they run a size short. I've got on a pair of their sandals right now and it's like walking on marshmallows

I think they are really cute, but I'm afraid they woudn't be comfortable for me, with my RA feet

Corky's styles do seem to be created by the same designers as SpringSteps. If I did some digging it probably is the same manufacturer generating two similar brands. The difference however is not only price, but SpringSteps are much better constructed. Corky's tend to be a little firm with not much flexibility and support. SpringSteps are very comfortable. Corky's is also cut a litle more narrow. Unless you have serious feet concerns adding your own pads (such as Petals) may help make Corky's more comfortable.

I think Corky's make some cute shoes, but in recent months my feet have become victim to somemajor medical issues and therefore I can't wear any brand of sandals or clogs at all, and have to be extremely careful with my enclosed choices. If this were the good old days I'd be unable to wear anything other than those awful orthopedic shoes of days gone by. Thank goodness shoemakers finally figured it out that there was a market for stylish comfort shoes.

I bought a pair when they were the TSV. Cannot wear. Most painful shoes ever. The inside is not finished properly and the lumps and bumps make them impossible to wearr. Wish I had sent them back.

Ha ha. I just realized Corky is the brand...I looked them up--they look like Bernie Mevs. I don't own them, but my mom & my sister both have a pair and say they are very comfortable.

I have a couple of pair of Corky's flip-flops that I absolutely love. They look nothing like what Evine is selling now with the designs all over the shoes.

I really dislike those arsty shoes no matter the name brand. Blech.

I don't own any but I kind of like the look of some Corky's shoes. I don't care for the cutout flowers or anything like that for myself though.

Several brands are using that stretch woven look upper in multi colors and solids. ernie Mev seems to specialize in it is the upper used in most of their shoes. That however is the end of the similarity as this gimp can wear Bernie Mev's quite comfortably. I discovered Bernie Mev brand at a local independent shoe store and not only those of us with leg and foot issues, but anyone who wants stylish comfortable shoes should check it out.

The Steve Madden brand also has some similar stretch woven styyles wich are more comfortable than Corky's.

I have a couple of flat pairs and they are super cute but just ok, on comfort. I have seen the Spring Step Brand in Bealls of Florida. Recently, I was in the North Georgia Mountains on vacation and I saw many of these types of sandals being sold in specialty shops around the area.

I have seen many take offs on Bernie Mev shoes which I LOVE. They are very comfortable and I have three pairs in different solid colors. Check out this brand online. I have found some good buys at Houser Shoes.

The only Corky I know is Corky's Ribs and BBQ.

I was not familiar with this brand, but from a brief look, it appears that they do "takes" on several popular styles by other brands (woven styles, embellished/painted leather styles, and some that look like Jambu, to name a few)?

I have a couple pair of Corky's that have the woven design that's similar to some Skecher styles. The Corky's are super cute. They're not quite as comfortable as my Skecher Go Walks, but I can still manage several hours of wear in them. They run true to size on me. I bought mine on Amazon.

I like them. Very unique. I've recently ordered 5 pair from Evine. They do recommend going up a size.
