That Line is Getting Old

rms1954 — Sat, 16 Jan 2021 05:46:41 GMT

Throwing shoe up in air to show how light it is and exclaiming "in fact, it's so light when you ge.t the box at home you will say "hmmm, I think they may have forgotten to put my shoes in the box."

Maybe old for those that watch for entertainment but for anyone just checking in every now and then or channel surfing who don't normally watch much it is a good way to point out how light the shoe is! I have shopped here since the '80's and have never seen that!!

This is just as bad as continually bending the shoes in half to show us all that we are not buying wooden clogs...enough!!

How else do you expect them to let people know (or show) how light the shoes are? I think it is a great selling point.

As an owner of many Vionic shoes, I like to have as much information about the product as I can get. Certainly whether the shoe is light or heavy on the foot is something I would want to know before purchasing online.

Not all people watch QVC 24/7 or to the point that hearing that "line" would bother them.

omg...so agree.

Kinda like a certain vendor saying "Suzie Orman would call this 'money well spent!'"

"You can shop and shop and shop the stores...you'll never find..."

haha...these poor sales people, talking for hours on end, year after year, are on auto-pilot!

Admittedly I don't watch many shoe shows (just not my thing) but not sure I have heard it often or at all.

For me personally though, weight off shoes is very important as I cannot wear shoes that are heavy so I think it's a great point.

I think the hosts have a tough job. I for one know that I couldn't do it There are only so many ways to describe something.

How about running thumb over fabric or CONSTANT stretch?

It’s a deal breaker for me if a shoe is heavy. I appreciate knowing if the shoe is lightweight or flexible as it reduces my risk of purchasing online. i’ll Intermittently use the mute feature when the sales pitch gets on my nerves and I want to still see the product. It’s not an ideal solution but better than getting annoyed by incessant repetitive chatter.

All their lines are getting old! I keep thinking, if I meet S.K. or A at a social event, they would come up to me and show me the stretch in the clothes I was wearing. Don't get up tight, just a augh for the day.

Don't know how anybody could NOT see the shoe in the air throw. The've been doing it for decades. Jane T does it constantly -

All the shoes that they can bend in half or are so light do Not provide adequate prevention of a Jones fracture . Walking around on these soft shoes, if you step in a uneven area , you can easily incur a 5th metatarsal fracture that is called a Jones fracture which can be difficult to heal . Not for me , I buy good shoes with support - not that saoft soled style.

@skatting44

ITA, I dont want real heavy cumbersome shoes, but I care more about the support....there's too many reviews how some wear these light shoes and their feet end up hurting....

I guess if you're a balloon, you need that info, right? I'm kidding of course, but it's the small stuff. Others on here have said why it matters to them. Postage, foot problems, that sort of thing.

If I constantly watched a shopping channel I would most likely get tired of hearing ALL of the sales talk. It's actually annoying to me. I barely watch tv. I shop online, and most of the time am comparing values. Sometimes QVC wins, but most of the time, NOT. They can hype it all they want, but it needs to be a good deal for me to buy.

@qualitygal Seriously I am a baloon and I need to know if a shoe will allow me to float in the air? Lordy Lordy Just Kidding. I could not pass up this chance. Bwah ahahaha

@World Traveler You don't have to watch QVC 24/7 to hear the "lines". If you watch for 15 minutes you are guaranteed to hear several.

@World Traveler I agree. In fact I am dreaming of traveling again and like to know the exact weight of shoes I take. When limited on foreign travel luggage weight it is important to me. Amy from Clarks was good in the past about weighing shoes for us.

Funny you should mention lines that are getting old. This morning as I was getting my clothes ready I had the Q on and Pat was presenting the TSV lamps. Mind you the line I'm going to quote has always made me batty, but today it just hit a nerve. And they ALL do it; here goes: "And this IS GOING TO BE the white, and this IS GOING TO BE the gold, and this IS GOING TO BE the black...." When is it "going to be", Pat? Because it sure looks like it is ALREADY is black. Arrgh... That was enough Q for the day.

Here's line that is starting to annoy me.

"The only order of the year".

If in the fall, no kidding, makes sense it's the only order of the year. I hear them saying it already.

Annoying threads about hosts and their habits that annoy people are getting old. There are more than a few of these threads a week and there has been for years.

By now, you should have figured out your comments are falling on deaf ears. No one at QVC cares and what bothers some is music to others. Still, the never ending complains go on and on.
