They might be billions of dollars in debt, but they still sell a lot of products.

WWD:

Good news for U.S. TikTop Shop shoe buyers — QVC‘s footwear store continues in operation despite the Chapter 11 filing last week. And it’s more popular than ever before.

Data from Charm Io shows that QVC shoe shop sales jumped 1,646.96 percent to $14.1 million during the April 2025 to March 2026 period from $808,921 in the same prior year period from April 2024 to March 2025.

Shoe brands sold by QVC include Birkenstock, Clarks, Earth, Franco Sarto, Minnetonka, MizMooz, Naturalizer, Reebok, Rykä, Skechers, Vince Camuto, Vionic, and White Mountain, among others.

QVC’s shoe shop revenue is the fastest growing by far.

That is very interesting. Are the prices lower on TIk Tok? Do they offer discounts? Just curious because I have never used that site.

Yes, I read they will increase their digital presence already going on now but Tik Tok seems to be the major player if you enjoy streaming. I doubt it will last on TV in any form if that is what you liked.

But they better get younger based merchandise and vendors in clothing style if they are going in this direction to make it Seniors not so much with Tik Tok. Maybe You Tube would be a better option for elders.

Products for younger demo on TT and other social media platforms. Not on Q tv. Younger demo doesn't watch TV, streaming and YouTube only. Late night comedy shows have lost the younger demo. That's why Friday nite shows were dropped and reruns are shown. Young people watch on YouTube.

On Valerie's last visit they had her Celebration hurricanes for $50 plus shipping. During her visit I bought them on TikTok for $35 with free shipping.

@Icegoddess s

I'm surprised about the shoes because so many other stores have free returns on shoes and QVC as we well know, doesn't. Shoes are an item that has to fit just right, which is why I only order shoes from places that don't charge me to return them. I guess I'm an outlyer on that

Only $14 mil in sales for the year? QVC Group does more the $8 billion in annual sales. TIkTok sales are just a drop in the bucket. They certainly will not save them. I had thought TikTok had a lot more volume the way the execs talk about it.

@shoesnbags For me, shoes are the one thing I can count on fitting me if I order a 7 1/2 M. JBU might be the exception. I bought a NWT pair on our local Nextdoor marketplace and they were a bit too small. Might be a better fit without socks, but I wear socks with almost all shoes except dress shoes.

Ordering clothing online is a total ****** shoot, so that's where the free returns become important to me.

I'm not on TT and have no intentions of getting on there. I just don't like the format. But, I do wear shoes aimed at a younger demographic, so they're missing out by not including more modern selections in their presentations. Just because MOST of a demographic use certain types of media doesn't mean they all do.

I was actually on the site today looking for a pair of booties since I knew QVC carried the brand I was looking for. Ended up having to get them from the brand's website since they didn't have my size in the color I wanted.

@Maizie Green Thank you for answering my question. I was never aware of the pricing differences.

It is not so much as pricing differences. They have a lot sales and coupons with frequent free shipping. The items ship directly from QVC and they came quickly.

I have shopped a lot on TikTok and have been happy with everything I have bought.

All "bankruptcies" are NOT necessarily bad. I worked for a large corporation that was in dire financial straits. We were bought out by our major competitor...and I still get my pension...

QVC was just named TikTok Shop Seller of the Year at the TikTok Shop Summit 2026.

In 2025, QVC acquired nearly 1 million new US customers on TikTok Shop and grew their total US customer file for the first time in over four years.
