Corkys Shoes

I probably should have posted this yesterday, but these shoes are cute. I love colorful things, so they are definitely my style. They are from the brand Corkys and were ShopHQ's Top Value yesterday. To be fair QVC sells a brand with similar colorful handpainted style on QVC.com -- Spring Footwear, but they rarely feature any of these items on air in their regular shoe programs (Leah Loves Shoes, Shoe Shopping With Jane and Sole Sisters).

I love that brand, however, after ordering a pair, found that they are very hard on the foot as the sewn edges are too sharp and the leather is stiff. Had to send them back. But love the colors and all the ornamentation. Just not feet friendly.

I brought these also. Never had seen the brand before and I was tempted to buy more than one style. Stuck with just the TSV and best of all no shipping or tax, plus easy pay if you want it. Hope I am not disappointed. If they work out will definitely go for more styles. I noticed they had many styles not in the thong which I cannot wear. All the different colors match so many of my summer clothes.

I thought they were pretty when I saw them on ShopHQ yesterday but thought that the models did not look comfortable walking in them. They looked like they were clunking around.

I have 3 pairs of Corky's sandals. As long as you get the correct size, you're not clunking around in the sandals. I normally wear a size 9 1/2W or 10M, depending on the shoe. In Corky's, I order the size 10 & my toes are right at the end of the footbed. I ordered yesterday's TSV in turquoise, but I had to order an 11 since the 10 was sold out. I hope they're not too big but since it's lower heel, they should be ok. (I hope)

I love the Spring Step line from the Q and wondered if these were made by the same manufacturer, since they look similar. I recently ordered 3 pairs of Spring Steps, or I would've tried the Corkys.

Enjoy your Corkys!

These shoes really caught my eye. I like a few of their other designs, too, like the thong. I can see them with all sorts of summer outfits! White jeans!

I did not get any because I am not sure of my size with the brand (I'm actually between sizes) and hate to return things. I measure just under 7.5M right now & expect my feet to shrink to 7 by the end of the year, probably 6.5. That makes shoes tough. I need them to fit now but don't want them to be falling off in a few months.

I'll be watching & maybe get a pair later in the season. What fun & colorful shoes! Enjoy!

The Corky's brand overall generally run one size smaller than what you wear in other brands. Unfortunately none of the ShopHQ presentations I saw pointed this out and may end up with some returns as a result of that. Other retailers who sell the brand usually include this fact in the item description.

Spring shoes seem to be in line with other US brands with their sizing. I'm a perfect 7.5 or 38 in that brand.

These are the flip-flops I have that are so comfortable. As I said, I normally wear either a 7.5 or 8. I bought these in an 8 and they fit perfectly.
