Q Talk

Is it just me or has QVC become the Sketchers channel?   I realize many people love Sketchers but not everyone especially all the time everyday. How about some new and interesting brands? I personally find them overpriced and not comfortable for my feet.  Really, another TSV?

Not to mention that they don't hold up very well to wear & tear.

They're almost like wear one season, throw away, not much bang for your buck!

I tend to agree.

However, I'm taking this opportunity to list the advantages of this shoe purchased last year about this time (QVC) and wish I had purchased many more pairs!

My Skechers last me a lot longer than one season. I'm thinking of getting the white and maybe tan.

I wear skechers, I like them, I find they feel good on, fit well and properly. Size is rarely an issue for me but once I did buy two colors of the same style, same size and each pair fit differently, the one that was smaller went back. Price points are bad.

Now that this brand has come out with what they dub 'slip-ins', I want to know why they're priced so much higher that bascially the rest of all skechers. I don't get what's so much better and different in these than any other. You easily slip your feet into any pair, I do anyway. They're all machine washable, I toss all of  mine and my husband's in the washer, hang to dry on the line, good to go again. 

I set my price point at a limit on what I'll spend for a new pair. Slip-ins arwe not those however. Leaving these in the shoebox.

Now having said this, I strayed from this brand and bought a pr of Revitalign brand in a color called Sesame, a light tan/beige color, textured upper, my same size 6.5M. I was skeptical but they arrived (box totally smashed an torn open mind you) they were both in the box. They fit really well, feel really good on, $59.00.

@LTT1   Well these are too stinking CUTE!!!!!  I have a couple of pr of Reggae, not all in this style are created equal though. 

When I buy skechers many times I buy the different ones, the differnet color or pattern - not all but many. These flowers would be one of those to be a keeper! I'm surprised at myself that I don't already own these too!!!!!

Oh wait - these are slip-ins??????  I just now noticed this!

If I didn't already have 15-20 pairs of Skechers, I would be trying one or two pairs of the TSV.

Mine are made well, comfortable, fit nicely, hold up to washing (even if not listed as "washable) and have lasted me several years--oldest pair is probably 6 years old, and worn a lot over those years.

I agree, they are a little expensive...but so is everything these days!

@LTT1  I remember that shoe, very pretty one 

[manny2]

Yes, it is the sketchers channel. The brand does not work for me either.

For walking, or running Hoka is the way to go. The best shoe on the market. They are even better when you wear them every day. Like walking on a cloud.

I notice a few of the vendors wear them.

I like some Skechers but they need to be "Go Walk" with "Arch fit".  The TSV doesn't have the arch fit so they are an easy pass for me. 

Plus that new easy slip on & off heel makes me wonder just how well they will actually stay on my feet.  I have noticed that  many closed shoes tend to have wide heels and my foot easily lifts out of them when I'm walking.  If I go down half a size then they are too tight in the toes.

My favorite Skechers are A513622 They are canvas slip ons called Arcade.  They need hands to get them on but they are super comfortable for me and very cute.  I like them so much I ended up getting them in four colors!
