Bring Back Birkenstock !!!!

moewi — Tue, 12 Apr 2016 17:20:13 GMT

Please bring back Birkenstock. They are the only sandals to fit wide feet. I have tried many, many Vionics and other brands and they have no idea how to make their shoes for wide feet. I have paid well over $100 to send every pair of Vionics, Clarks back after being told that they will have no problem fitting. Guess again, not even close.

I don't have wide feet, but I would love for QVC to carry Birkies again. No one else has the selection that QVC had. They are the only sandals I wear, I wouldn't even consider wearing Vionics, they are nothing like Birkenstocks!

Yes, bring back the Birkies! My low arch, wide feet love them! I tried Vionics and they are just not made for feet like mine. Birkenstocks are the only shoe I could order online with no problem and the fit was consistent every time. I finally gave up ordering shoes online at the Q because the trial and error of shoes that may or may not fit is too expensive. No longer going to pay $10+ to try on a pair of shoes.

Another vote for Birkenstocks! Would love to see them return to QVC.

I too have wide feet and Birkenstocks is one of the few shoes that fit,. I have traveled miles just to get the Boston style and a few others such as the Arizona etc. I cannot wear heels of any kind and the other brands of "comfort shoes" do not fit well. I will not spend 10 bucks just to again try on a pair of shoes here. I now go directly to the Birkenstock site or E-Bay.

The selection the company once produced is just not there any more. Way fewer styles available but you can get the widths you want from their website. I wear them now in the house too and have innies and outies.

Another vote for Birkenstocks!!! However, it really is Birkenstock that is changed. You can still get them at the B&M's but the great styles that used to be offered at QVC aren't there. I still wear the ones that I purchased here (although only during the summer since I live in New England) and love them - get compliements every time. I wish they would bring those styles back? Anyone know if there has been a change in the company to cause the change in styling?

Birkenstock seem to be widely available. Is QVC the only place people shop?

Sure - Birks are widely available but not the cute styles that used to be at the Q.

I never heard of those but I just looked them up. They have some cute styles. They remind me of Crocs. I like the comfort of a wide foot bed similar to Crocs or Birkenstocks. Do these have a wide foot bed?

@cotton4me I buy the "Z" style......discounted at Amazon. I find them similar in fit to Birk's. They are as light as a feather......and I wear them both indoors and out (160° pavement in PHX in summer).

Birkenstocks were a big seller at Q. Customers were very satisfied. Always fit and always comfortable and no returns. Q, bring them back please!

Re: Bring Back Birkenstock !!!!

widely available but much fewer styles are sold now. I used to buy on QVC and even have a pair on the way right now through Amazon.

I have high arches and will only wear the soft-bed ones. I think most women want a softer footbed and many don't have the high arches Birkenstocks support.

Love Birkenstock shoes!

Bought approximately 20+ pairs when the choices were GREAT 8+ years ago. QVC shopping.

Believe I have every [FAVORITE] style, from all of the leather\suede choices.

Average price for each pair WAS about $ 125.00, ```then.......

The only conclusion I can surmise would be the price, NOW- "IF" made in Germany: Quality always has a hefty number.

BUT! I would believe there must be The Finer Stores that carry Birkis.....I never bothered to check. My very 1st pair was purchased from leading department store in the mall over 10 years ago.

At that time, the green suede choice was under $ 150.00, but have no idea of cost, now.

Does anyone know of a web site to buy on line? I have never thought in doing that, but know someone must have. ?????

At this time, I am *good* - having many to last me for years.

Hoping for those whom are searching, that each find exactly the style they want..... I had no idea this particular shoe was this difficult to find, if I am reading understanding the question~

" best investment I had made in such a short time"!

Wear nothing but Birkis ....until it snows.

One Quality shoe; do not believe I'll ever find its EQUAL....certainty not made { my selections} in China!!!!!!

Sure wish I had an answer to - Why No Birkenstock, now.

@still Raining,

Thank you for that information! I posted before I read yours.

Absolutely bring back Birkenstock!!!!

I have been complaining about this for awhile at the Q.

I love them, and they're pretty much all I wear in the Summer.

All of the other imitators they have on air now just cannot hold up to Birkenstocks.

And QVC did have a really good selection.

I bought so many from QVC through the years.

I looked up Dawgs and like what I saw. I have a question for anyone who has purchased them. Would you recommend sizing up or down, since they don't come in half sizes?

I too am a huge fan of Birkenstocks. I was just hoping to purchase a pair today when I discovered QVC no longer carries them. Please consider bringing them back for those of us who don't live near malls or shopping facilities that carry them.

I would hate to have to start shopping on Amazon for them as I love most of the purchases I've ever made on QVC and I have been shopping for 20 years now.

I never understand threads like this. If you want Birkenstocks just buy some. Amazing as it may seem to some, there are are lot of other places to buy them.
