Just looking at HSN and saw notice - Premier showing of Birkenstocks. Looks like they are now on HSN - also most of them were free shipping.

Yeah! Heading to their website to check them out. I think HSN has carried them in the past.

I checked it out. There is a very limited selection, but the prices are good and the shipping is free.

I believe it's a different line in the Birk ""family""

If they are Betulas they are a different line.

Just looked on hsn, they are real classic Birkenstocks, not the "sort of" Betula, et al.

Just checked them out and they are the real deal. However, they are all sold on www.shoebuy.com for the same price except that shoebuy always has some percentage off. I usually get them 20% off. Some days it's 15%. Also free shipping, free returns.

They are definitely Birkenstocks limited fashions but maybe as time goes on they will add more styles. Does that mean no more of this brand on Q?

Just a head's up - they are all synthetic Birko-flor. Also the widths vary, the gizeh is regular which is wider than the Arizona 2 strap which is narrow width - really fits narrow to medium.

If it's the Betulas. I have some of those from HSN and returned many of them. They don't feel the same as the Birkenstock (I have over 100 pair of QVC Birkenstock shoes) so I really know the difference.

They just feel differently. The foot bed feel different. It doesn't mold to the feet the same way. It's just different.

The sizing is a little different.

So, something strange that happened this past week concerning QVC Birkenstock shoes.

I ordered some in the same size I always order and they were 1/2 size too big! It was like they were seconds!

They just weren't the same. I'd ordered some QVC Birki's for my granddaughter a week before and she said they didn't feel right. I figured I'd just ordered the wrong size (I still kind of think I did) but she said the bar (toe grab) didn't feel right.

I still kind of think it's just that she isn't used to them (she pronates in very badly and thought it would help her). I have a terrible back and for some unknown reason Birkenstock shoes are the only ones that I can wear without dying in pain (I know I'm dramatic).

Anyway, in all of the times I've ordered these shoes, I've never had that happen. So, I'm sending them back. Too bad because I've paid quite a lot of money for some of these Birki shoes and these were clearance and now I have to send them back.
