I tried Orthoheels for the first time when it was the recent TSV. I don't have any foot or leg problems - probably because I've been wearing Birkenstocks since I was 20! Yesterday, I could finally get out of boots and shoes - which I hate anyway. I slipped into a pair of my Birks - and my feet "told" me they were home! The arch thing on the Orthoheels bothers me. I'll try them a few more days and see. But nothing compares to my Birks. I still have my first men's Arizona I bought all those years ago! Smile

I hope QVC brings them back! I also like Claudia as the rep. I came in shortly before Sally left, so I didn't really "know" her!

I guess I must be the odd-ball here. I have some Orthaheels & very quickly got used to feeling the arch. My biggest complaint about the Orthaheels is that they're not leather & I think they're too expensive for man-made materials. I also enjoy wearing my Birkenstocks which are made of leather.

Why do you need a show? There are 42 different pairs to choose from on the QVC site. A lot are on clearance though so maybe they are being dropped. Happyfeet.com has a ton of Birkenstocks and some are on special.

Me too.

I've never found the Q to have the best prices though. I enjoyed the shows but purchased elsewhere. So glad Birki season is here!

OOOPS! Someone goofed! Imagine their embarrassment! Here I turned to QVC at 4:00p.m. to watch Birkenstock, and guess what? That pesky Orthoheel man was on! Where are my Birkies?????{#emotions_dlg.thumbdown}

VCamp, I also love the Orthaheel support. I notice a positive difference in my knees and back. I have relied on Birenstocks in the past, but have now started building a wardrobe of Vionic shoes and slippers.

{#emotions_dlg.biggrin}Glad you're happy. Yes, I noticed a huge difference in my knees not being so wobbly when I walk (arthritis) when I'm wearing the Orthaheels. I got 2 pr of sandals for the summer but haven't worn them yet as it's still too cold to expose my feet that much. The Orthaheels I wear now are clogs. But, I still do like my Birks & just got a new pr of brown sandals since I didn't have any that color.

You can get them for less, with promo codes, and with free shipping from other websites....shoesdotcom, shoe buydotcom, online shoesdotcom are my favs.

There's only one page of Birkenestocks on the Q website. Really sorry to hear they may no longer be carrying the line. It certainly sounds like it.
