I do not watch

LOVEMYFURBABY — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 13:18:12 GMT

I don't know if this bothers any one else, but this is a total turn off when Jane puts her bare feet into all of the shoes to try on. Even in shoe stores they provide little hoisery socks to put on before you try on the shoes. You know they will put those back to sell. I wish people would have not only common sense, but think what you are doing beore millions of people who are watching the hyginiety(sp) that is not there. Thanks for letting me vent how I feel.

I totally agree. What happens with all of these uthat she puts on her bare feet? Do they box them up and send them to some lucky person? Does Jane buy every pair she tried on? Why does she do this? Why do they let her do this?

On the other hand - or foot if you will -- people do t his all the time in stores so why not on the Q?

Not just Jane, but the models. Who gets those shoes afterward? They can't package them up and sell them to us, can they?

Jane is very happy doing the shoe selling. Maybe the vendors give her the shoes gratis.

I don't think we get the stuff that has been on air unless we purchase an "as is" item. I believe these are customer returns and "on air" items.

I would much rather have shoes that a host or models have worn - I'm talking about as-is purchases-, then go into a store where you select the shoes yourself. & don't know how they were tried on before you. I have gotten several pairs of as is, & without exception, they have been very clean. Of course, if someone wears a pair, gets them dirty & returns them to Q, that's a different story.

If Q was concerned about what offends their customers Shawn would have been long gone.

@faeriemoonAgree. I think what the hosts and models wear becomes a cost doing business - sold either AS IS or given as incentives to the personnel.

I also would feel more confident of getting "clean" product here than in any store where the shoes sit out for any passing customer to try on. I've even been in shoe stores in the past two years where no protective sox were poffered at all even when the clerk was bringing me shoes to try.

And for sure, a huge percentage of what hangs on any sale rack has been tried on and thrown to the floor in many stores.

I am truly sorry this bothers you and I do understand your point of view, but for me it isn't even a blip on the radar screen of things I give a hoot about.

It bothers me also, but on a scale of 1 to 10, it's maybe a 6.

I've always been told that feet are very clean, compared to fingernails, for example.

I always use the footies in the store when trying on, or I bring my own socks.

I also shop at a higher end shoe store, not one of those cheap places.

I know, weird.

This doesn't bother me at all. She's not putting her feet into my shoes, so I have no reason to worry about it.

They're sold as "as-is" items if they're still in good condition. That's one of the listed descriptions in the "as-is" listings, that they could be on-air samples. So if you don't like it, don't buy "as-is" items.

I do hope they don't sell the shoes they demonstrate on the show. But if you think about other items they sell and demonstrate...like make up (lipsticks), I'm sure they don't sell those items either once they are used on air. (Hopefully not "as is" either...lol!). (We all know this happens in "real life" at department stores)

Don't bother me at all. As long as their feet are clean. Same thing when you go to a department store -- you don't know who tried them on before you so what's the difference.

If you're bothered by the notion that someone else's bare foot might have touched the shoes you buy, do not purchase "As Is" footwear, because it appears the on-air items go there:

"This product may be a customer return, vendor sample, discontinued inventory, or on-air display and is not in its originally manufactured condition. It may not be new. In some instances, these items are repackaged by QVC. Accordingly, the manufacturer may not honor any original warranty. However, QVC's standard return policy still applies. A card will be included in your package explaining these points in greater detail."

I hadn't realized before retrieving this copy from an as-is item listing that manufacturers' warranties might not be honored. That wouldn't impact shoes, most likely, but it sure would many other items. Hmm.

Doesn't bother me. I really don't want to see a pair of peds when they are modeling a sandal. It kind of takes away from the look of the shoe.

They're probably sprayed with Lysol or that stuff they use at bowling alleys. ;-)

I couldn't agree more. I went with my husband to a shoe store because he wanted a new pair of hiking shoes so we stopped in and I walked around while he was trying on shoes. I saw a woman sticking her dirty bare feet into shoes that she had pulled off the shelf. There were those little pieces of stockings in boxes all over the store to put over your feet when you try on shoes. I grabbed a handful and gave them to her and smiled, saying, "You probably didn't see these." She said, "Oh, I don't need those but thank you." I looked down at the shoes she wore in, and the insides were dark and stained, so who knows what she was depositing into those shoe she was trying on? I'm glad I wasn't tempted to try anything on myself. Yuck.

One time, when I taught, I went to a major department store and tried on a pair of clogs. I was trying them on with hose, and they had the imprint of someone's toes in them! I looked at the bottom and they had been worn! The store was selling them for full price!

As I have stated previously (this is a recurring topic), could someone please tell me how a thin, porous little piece of nylon stocking stretched over my foot is any more hygienic than a bare foot?
