Clark's TSV ....WHY oh WHY???

This is my opinion only, but why does QVC bring the same looking style shoe/sandal and not at all attractive. I should not compalin, money saved!

Q does not lack in shoe choices. and the internet options are endless.

the TSV is for the masses. so yes its going to be basic and safe.

@gigy

The only reason I can think of is because people buy them

Clark's still has a good name. And it's suede. And it has an arch.

Gigy,

The sandals are not my choice either, but like Denim and Company apparently QVC sells a lot of these items and has customers who are in the market for them.

They definitely appear to be selling well.
But , yeah. Not attractive..🙁

I disagree, I've had 3 pair all come apart, the top of the shoe came away from the sole and they were not old or worn to death.

I don't really like them either and had to wonder why they would choose patterns on shoes if they wanted to sell thousands. I'm very particular about patterns. I don't mix patterns at all and I don't like it when I see it on others. If I wore these, I would have to be wearing solids on top and bottom and in colors that coordinate with the patterns on the shoe straps. They seem popular, though, so it's a good thing I'm not QVC's buyer. My opinions are clearly wrong.

I don't wear sandals. I don't feel safe. My toes are not protected. I can only imagine if I fell or if the ground was not even. I would have been okay with the color choices but I don't want to take a chance for safety sake.

@bonnielu I don't wear sandals either, and I live in FL! I have many pairs of Vionic flip flops in different colors, but I rarely wear them out of the house. Have no idea why I bought so many. I am like you - I want my feet protected from stubbing my toes, from dirt, from bugs, etc. It kind of grosses me out when I see people wearing sandals in the grocery store. And Shawn K. posted a pic of her on the airplane in flip flops. Oh H@LL no, would I ever wear anything but a good tennis shoe on an airplane!

I know what you mean....not a look that I'm a fan of and yes I also saved some money.

I like them and might be tempted except for the $5.50 s/h. I have a pair of Clark's that are at least 10 years old and a pair I just bought recently. Both very comfortable. On the TSV I like that both straps are adjustable and the heel height is perfect for me. And the patterns make them a bit different.

IMO, Clark's is not even a good fit anymore, good quality materials anymore, good price point anymore. Of course there is the matter of slow QVC shipping too. I guess these sandals are for summer. You may not get them until summer is over. You can wear them next summer.

Why I did not buy these: they look like hiking sandals except the suede would get so dirty and be ruined. I could not even wear them to my grandsons baseball games...they would get covered in dirt and you can't rinse off. Could not wear by the pool or to the beach either. I did pick up a couple pair of cloudsteppers that were on clearance though. Easy to rinse off and clean.

Every pair of Clark's TSVs I ever bought, had some sort of design flaw that made them unwearable. I think they buy them cheap to be TSVs. Won't bite again.

@CelticCrafter - I started a thread in the "Shoes" forum earlier today that will explain why your Clark's shoes fell apart.

The polyurethane soles seem "cushiony" but they're very poor material. It's not just Clark's who use this new combination sole, even expensive brands do.

I have worn Clark’s in the past. However, in my opinion they have changed. I believe they run small and I cannot go up a half size in my size, nor do I think I should have to. Additionally, they are not especially stylish. The TSV is not flattering on the leg at all, just my opinion. So like others have said, money saved.

Katcat1 — Tue, 21 Jun 2022 01:32:52 GMT

I always wore Clarks but all of sudden the fit was off. Sending back got old and expensive so I stopped buying Clarks. This TSV sandal is lacking style.

They had the last TSV show in the 7:00 hour. Jennifer Coffey said it was because it was popular and they had limited stock remaining. I call bull on that. This morning every size in every color is still available.

Quite possibly, it was not moving well all day, so why waste expensive air time when you can generate sales on other items? I remember when Susan Graver had a droopy knit cardigan as a TSV and they stopped airing it at noon. Then they brought it back three months later as if everyone forgot they didn't like it.

@Caaareful Shopper That was comical! LOL I think you are right, they make it sound like "it's flying out the door" when it really isn't that popular at all. TSV's have been to repetitive IMO.
