Her shoes are really cute and they look like nice quality, don't think prices are far out of line for good shoes these days. Look at what some Clarks cost. Earth shoes, etc. I have one of her sweaters, the olive green one with the dog on it that she wore on her show this winter. I got a good deal on it but the original price was high.

I have no idea what she donates to charity, I'm sure she does what she does privately.

I read an article this week about her home being on the market, 40 million plus. That's what she does, buys homes..makes changes to them...moves. Quite a bit. The home is magnificent. She's a fabulously successful woman and I applaud her. She did lose her career at one point because of her orientation, but she worked hard and hung in there and now she is where she is.

I must say her low top sneakers are nice. They remind me of the basketball style Keds sneakers I used to wear but Ellens look even better made. (However Im not paying that for myself).

But thinking back to when my kids were teens, we did buy them the good sneakers that would come out with sports peoples names such as the Jordans, etc. And back then we paid 120 or more for our those type of sports sneakers for our kids.

I also like Ellens little slip ons with the words LOVE but again, just too much for my budget.

Well the bottom line is, Love Ellen and love those 2 pair, but cant pay those prices soo if anyone gets them enjoy!

@Greeneyedlady21 i meant, is this line used as a fundraiser? sometimes that can sway me.

@ms traditional Ok I see, I misunderstood. Not that I know of.

Anyone interested, you can find better prices on her shoes if you search online. I saw a really cute pair of Ellen sandals this week that I wanted to order but they only came in medium widths on the site I found. I almost always need wide. QVC has some in wide widths.

I just watched a little of the ED shoes show last night but they did not look comfortable to me and a little masculine for me. Not so much the tennis shoes but the other shoes.

Not impressed, will stay with my Sketchers.

I really liked the gray pair but I rarely wear sneakers, when I do, I like my Sketchers, also.

$100 for a pair if sneakers isn't that bad nowadays, not for most name brands. It's amazing what they get away with charging, but take a look at those in Nordies the next time you pass by their shoe dept.

@Noel7. Hello To you dear friend hope you are healthy and well. I ordered the HSN tsv sneakers the other day in white - good price I think Steve Madden and free postage - do not wear sneakers often but liked the look of these. Liked some of ED shoes but did not purchase.

Have a happy Easter - getting ready for our move back to your neck of the woods!

I think her shoes are cute but will not purchase from QVC and waste money on return if they do not fit.

I saw some of the show but did not purchase anything. I liked almost every pair that I saw. I like to wear these types of sneakers with my Isaac Mizrahi t-shirt dresses in the summer and a cropped denim jacket.

I didn't care for them and thought they were priced rather high...

I'll pass ... when did E.D. become a shoe designer? Skechers are so superior, it's like walking on air, plus how would anyone know if her designs will fit...enjoy paying the $10 for 'return fee' and restocking, ladies~!

Just FYI -

I bought two pairs of the "Love" flats at Nordies last week - same price as QVC - definitely had to go up 1/2 size...they are adorable and comfy!!!

I don't think it's fair to say one shoe brand is superior over another unless you've tried them both. I've had Skechers that were horribly uncomfortable and Skechers that are excellant. ED shoes aren't exclusive to QVC so if I were so inclined, I'd buy from Nordies where there is free s/h and free returns. The prices are the same anyhow. The only pair that interested me was the Chapanima which QVC doesn't carry. But they don't interest me enough to spend $98.00 because they are too cutesy.

@ms traditional, I do not see anything on the Q website or Nordstroms about a portion of the proceeds going to any type of charity. I would think if that were the case, there would be a blurb after the description of the shoes.

No charity. These along with her home goods & clothing are for profit.
