Who Wears Wide Width?

CeeCee45 — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 09:15:45 GMT

I am so disappointed! The Go Walk TSV never comers in wide width. I had emailed QVC a number of years ago to say that a TSV should be available to all customers. Since then nothing has changed.

I am a true size 10W. If a shoe is 10W, I don't even have to try it on, except to see if I like it or not.

I don't understand QVC not insisting that all shoe vendors must make a wide width available when they present a TSV. It's not like Skechers never makes wide. They do.

I really believe QVC disenfranchisess a large portion of their customers by not insisting that all TSV be made available for all customers. I think it's important to note that the Southern Channel never offers a Today's Special that is not sized for their entire customer base. Whether it's shoes or clothing or accessories, all offerings are for average and plus/wide-sized customers.

Just Sayin'.

I looked all over and just found/bought a pair of wide go walks- in suede- on amazon. QVC usually offers wides when other venues don't, I'm surprised by this tsv ! My go walks on amazon were $49.99 - the style is called 'autumn'.

Be glad you aren't me - unless the shoe is an adjustable sandal , I need a wide on the left and a medium on the rt. So every pair of shoes I buy I have to buy 2 pair. I had extensive surgery on my left foot and it has a lot of metal in there making it require a wide shoe to be comfortable, but if I try to wear a wide on the right my foot is slipping out of it as I walk.

I wear wide and I'm so disappointed when a shoe I want isn't offered in W widths. I haven't seen the one you are talking about but I know what you mean.

I know Narrow footed people are disappointed when N width isn't offered. Q should be able to offer these widths because they have such a wide audience and very few warehouses. It's not like a B&M store that is stuck with the inventory at hundreds of different retail locations if the right person doesn't walk in their doors.

If they build it we will come!!

I was surprised on a TSV they didn't offer Narrow and Wide widths. They should have planned for that.

I agree. Have to pass up the TSV because I also wear a wide width. And to be far to all, they should come in Narrow as well.

I also wear a wide width, they are so rarely offered on Q, I don't bother looking at any of the shoes they have on air.

Been my ongoing complaint for decades at retailers everywhere! If a woman wears a 2X or 3X dress, I simply can't fathom them wearing a regular width shoe!!!

Even when I wore a size 8, I had a wide width foot.

I wrote QVC 30 yrs. ago about this problem. It isn't the vendors it is QVC's shoe buyers. Nothing is done about it. Therefore I only buy about 1 item from QVC. I use to buy $100 a month now I buy $25 a month. My way of a boycott.

QVC does sell a GO Walk in a Wide I have 3 pairs. But I am not very happy that the TSV does not come in a Wide. What in the world was QVC and Skechers thinking?

I wear a wide width; so, the tsv doesn't include me but I'm okay with that. There are a lot of shoes here on qvc.com that don't come in wide widths. Even my go to brand, Clarks, doesn't offer wide widths in the really nice, fashionable, expensive shoes. I don't expect that every retailer will cater to my special needs. At least QVC has shoes, lots of them, for wide width customers. Q pretty much ignores the narrow width customer. Now, they have something to complain about!

I agree - the TSV should be available in different widths. Don't understand Q's reasoning on this - thought they were in the business to make money.

I wear a wide width and notice that many of QVC's shoe styles are available in W.....although I'm surprised that a TSV wouldn't be offered in W. However, I very rarely buy shoes here because I can usually find the very same shoe or something comparable for less elsewhere. Online shopping has made it SO easy to shop around and compare prices and options. One of my favorite sources for comfortable, wearable wide widths is EasySpirit.com. They always have a good clearance section and frequent sales, and sometimes free shipping specials. Time to widen your shoe-shopping horizons!

Zappos has it. I got mine there. I have a border line width. I can wear both medium and wides (C) . This is more narrow, so I couldn't wear it. I'm fine with the Zappos version. Got it in Grey. Mine are in suede and are the Go-Walks 2. Slightly more expensive then Amazon. Forgot! Zappos and Amazon are only in C. So the true wide widths might not be able to get them.

I wear wide shoes and am always so happy when shoes come in multiple widths.

I am also a 10W in most shoes according to the way it is made. I am quite disappointed the way most manufacturers forget Wide Widths.

I recently went to a major outlet mall in St. Petersburg and the store I entered, which QVC also sells, had one tiny 5 X 7 - one box deep of WWs.

Some of my least favorite shoe brand stores, which QVC also sells, had zero WWs. The brands that do have WWs are so overpriced that it is crazy. I would just love a great pump, or a great ballet shoe, or a great sneaker, etc. and on and on.

I do not think we are such a minority, how do we get maker's attention?

QVC you could be a leader for our forum!!!

Anyone?

QVC?

When I check for wide shoes on QVC, 75-90% of the shoes go away. I also need petites for pants and coats. QVC caters to the plus sizes, but not us.
