WHERE IS BIRKENSTOCK

lotie — Mon, 14 Apr 2014 14:20:20 GMT

VERY UPSET THAT SO MUCH ATTENTION TO OTHER BRANDS WHY NO BIRKENSTOCK ESP SOFT FOOTBEDS, WHAT IS HAPPENING IS QVC DROPPING THE LINE, THE PRICES AND VARIETY ARE GREAT, I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT. IF I HAVE TO SHOP AT THE BERKIE STORES THE SELECTION IS NOT THERE AND THEY ARE PRICER, ANYONE FEEL THIS WAY??

I buy my Birks from a woman on eBay who's in Germany. She gets everything before the US gets it. Shipping is $10 and her prices are the same and sometimes a little cheaper than the prices here.

I received an e-mail today that the Birkenstock show for today has been cancelled. I have no idea what is going on. I really miss the Birkenstock shows.

Why was the 4:00 o'clock show cancelled? Is QVC no longer offering the Birkenstock line? 99% of my Birki's and Birkenstock's have been purchased from QVC. Seems Orthoheel, Clarks and Earth shows are on constantly. The Orthoheels are cheaply made, don't fit properly and have lots of negative reviews. Clarks (no complaints) are my cold weather shoes. However, I can purchase them at Macy's for less. Earth is also another cheap knockoff. Enough of Sally's silly high kicking antics!!! I'll be ordering my Birkenstocks from other sources.

The "problem" with Birkenstocks is that they are so well made and last for so many years, that unless you want to have many pairs, there's not much reason to keep buying. I miss them on the Q but the two pairs that I purchased 10 years ago are still going strong (and I wear them everyday)! Disappointed to see them phased out :-(

I tried Orthoheels for the first time when it was the recent TSV. I don't have any foot or leg problems - probably because I've been wearing Birkenstocks since I was 20! Yesterday, I could finally get out of boots and shoes - which I hate anyway. I slipped into a pair of my Birks - and my feet "told" me they were home! The arch thing on the Orthoheels bothers me. I'll try them a few more days and see. But nothing compares to my Birks. I still have my first men's Arizona I bought all those years ago!

I hope QVC brings them back! I also like Claudia as the rep. I came in shortly before Sally left, so I didn't really "know" her!

I guess I must be the odd-ball here. I have some Orthaheels & very quickly got used to feeling the arch. My biggest complaint about the Orthaheels is that they're not leather & I think they're too expensive for man-made materials. I also enjoy wearing my Birkenstocks which are made of leather.

Why do you need a show? There are 42 different pairs to choose from on the QVC site. A lot are on clearance though so maybe they are being dropped. Happyfeet.com has a ton of Birkenstocks and some are on special.

Me too.

I've never found the Q to have the best prices though. I enjoyed the shows but purchased elsewhere. So glad Birki season is here!

I called Customer Service immediately when I saw that the 4pm shoe was not Birkenstocks! I waited all week to see new styles for the summer season. needless to say, I was VERY disappointed! We nee this line back!!!!

OOOPS! Someone goofed! Imagine their embarrassment! Here I turned to QVC at 4:00p.m. to watch Birkenstock, and guess what? That pesky Orthoheel man was on! Where are my Birkies?????

VCamp, I also love the Orthaheel support. I notice a positive difference in my knees and back. I have relied on Birenstocks in the past, but have now started building a wardrobe of Vionic shoes and slippers.

Glad you're happy. Yes, I noticed a huge difference in my knees not being so wobbly when I walk (arthritis) when I'm wearing the Orthaheels. I got 2 pr of sandals for the summer but haven't worn them yet as it's still too cold to expose my feet that much. The Orthaheels I wear now are clogs. But, I still do like my Birks & just got a new pr of brown sandals since I didn't have any that color.

You can get them for less, with promo codes, and with free shipping from other websites....shoesdotcom, shoe buydotcom, online shoesdotcom are my favs.

There's only one page of Birkenestocks on the Q website. Really sorry to hear they may no longer be carrying the line. It certainly sounds like it.
