reading reviews on a pair of shoes

It said - would you give these as a gift ? Almost all said yes - then it said who would you give them to and people mostly wrote daughter or mother or me -- but honestly, several people wrote things like teachers - neighbors - friends.How could you take a review seriously after someone wrote they would buy a teacher a pair of shoes as a gift?

Maybe if they were related or very close to said teacher and the shoes were comfy and knowing that teachers are on their feet for most part of the day.

I rarely order shoes online for myself (because I like to try them on before buying and hate having to return things).

So I'm surely not going to buy shoes as a gift for someone else.

I have long thought they need to change Who would these be a good gift for to Who do you think would like this/these.

The gift bit is dumb. What they're really asking is who else do you think might want this or who might it be useful for. It'd be a lot simpler and more realistic if they'd just ask that. I suspect people answer that question, which is why you get "teacher", etc.

I hope that the QVC marketing geniuses don't actually believe they will get people to have a lightbulb moment and go yeah, wow, I can buy this as a gift for X, Y and Z - never thought of that - great idea! Oy.

Oh, that is hilarious (in a ridiculous way!).

I also agree with Moonchilde, that the whole 'gift' thing with reviews is dumb. It's like they are talking to little kids or something, IMO.

I agree, not only with the whole "gift" thing on reviews being dumb, but the fact that I can't imagine giving someone a gift of shoes.

I don't ever bother answering that stupid question.

It is a stupid question. I'll bet a lot of people think they have to give an answer so just give a random one. If I ever buy a pair of shoes from QVC and write a review, I think I'll say I'd give them as a gift to my mail carrier!

It's a silly question. I don't think anyone reads past the actual product review. The only people I ever bought shoes for were my children and that stopped when they became teenagers.
