I guess I don't expect much from a pair of $130 shoes. Sorry U were mislead & disappointed.

Well, contrary to yourself, I expect a great deal from a pair of $130 shoes, since this amount of money is an investment for me. I do appreciate feedback about the shoes. The only brands I have purchased from QVC is Sofft and Clarks, and both have been excellent. No GILI for me !

ITA. $100 pair of Clarks or Sofft is better quality than the GILI shoes look like they are (and from the reviews). If you are paying $130 for a pair of shoes, you expect them to fit like Clarks or Sofft, not like a shoe from Payless.

If Lisa wants to spend vulgar amounts of money on shoes that is her business, but if she is copying these shoes for others they need to be wearable. IMO they are horribly overpriced for the quality I don't care whose knockoffs they are or what ridiculous amount she paid for them.

Women do not want junk shoes for $130, no matter what your bank account balance is. I am very surprised she is alright with the quality being so marginal with this GILI line.

I really think that there are just some women who want the shoes just because they are copies of Lisa's, and they don't care if they fit or not, they are just fascinated with having a copy of something she owns. A bit strange, IMO.

WHY, WHY, WHY, are women purchasing GILI (generic) shoes when there are a zillion well-known established brands out there ! It just makes no sense and seems so silly-I will never understand!

Huh? At what price point do you expect quality?

I would venture to guess Lisa is wearing the original, high-end designer version and not her cheapened GILI version.

Bingo!
