Why does QVC ignore an entire group when they sell shoes?

I wear narrow width shoes and they are rarely seen on QVC.  There are medium, wide, and now, wide wide shoes being sold, but hard to find narrow.  Sometimes Clarks will offer one or two pair in a two hour show.  Why?  C'mon, wide-wide?  Give us slender footed women consideration!

If there was sufficent demand, they would carry narrows.  They know their customer base.

Apparently having narrow feet is a curse and makes you a freak of nature.  There was a time when you could walk into any shoe store and get narrow shoes from AA, AAA, AAAA widths.  I don't think QVC has a lot of control.  I think it goes back to the manufacturers.  The only shoe I can find with narrow widths is Naturalizer and maybe a couple of other brands.  Unfortunately, they aren't always the most stylish.  When I find a style I like and they have narrow widths, I usually purchase them in a couple of colors.  You would think at my age my feet would have gotten wider, but nope.

I have narrow feet.  If I cannot find any narrow shoes, I go to Plan B & wear a medium w/o any issues.

Re: Why does QVC ignore an entire group when they sell shoes?

@this is my nic  Back in the '60s and '70s, I lived in Houston.  I wore a AA back then and there was only one store in town where i could find shoes.  There was no Internet but I shopped Massey's Catalog.  Now days, with the Internet, there are many more sources for narrow shoe widths, but I fortunately have graduated to a B width.  Manufacturers can make any size for which the have orders.  I frequently see name-brand shoes featured on Zulily which come in Narrows.

@this is my nic I agree! I must wear narrow shoes. In fact, most “narrow”shoes are too wide for me. Munro is the only brand that is consistently narrow enough for my feet.

Until I hit 40, I wore a AA or AAA shoe.  Even at that time, many shoe stores did not carry narrows.  I was lucky because the farmers' market had a shoe store that carried great shoes in narrow sizes.  Now, I wear a medium width and it makes it much easier to buy shoes.  QVC generally buys in sizes that will sell, just like regular shoe stores.

I sure wish I could.  I have tried but it just doesn't work.  I have a very narrow foot, and a very, very narrow heel, and a high arch.  Finding shoes that fit and are comfortable an adventure.

My BEST size is 9 1/2 A/C. Not holding my breath. (Think Daisy Duck’s feet).

Try shoesdotcom.  They offer narrows.  And they have promotion codes on their website an and Mr Rebates, etc.  Once you get on their email list, you'll get even better promo codes.
