I, along with others, would appreciate the shoe size 101/2 please.  I don't like it when the host says 'all sizes available' whe that is far from true.  There are many, many women who wear size 101/2 but can't order because that size is NOT available.  Please consider this.

Thank you....

All sizes available refers to the fact that all sizes they offer are available; i.e. none of the sizes offered are sold out.  But you probably knew that.

 

I also know that they do offer that size in most of the shoes.

Like classeee, I also wear size 10 1/2 and have often thought the same. No one would expect a size 7 1/2 to order size 8 if half sizes are available for others.  Please, QVC, carry size 10 1/2 in the future.  Many women wear this size. Size 11 is just too long for many.

I agree. Since you wear this size, you probably know that the shoe companies don't make very many shoes at all in.10.5.I used to sell shoes during college and it was a rare thing to see that size.I know because I could appreciate a half size down from 11 in many shoes. I got the Earth TSV peep toe.I need a 10.5. I don't get why the half stops at 9.5. But on the other end,there is not often a 5.5.  It is so annoying because that miniscule amount makes a big difference in the fit of a shoe.

@desertrat8, I agree and I'm really glad that you started this thread. Smiley Happy

 

I have all sorts of challenges when I'm buying shoes: very high arches, one foot half a size larger than the other, the shorter foot is wider because it has a bunion, I'm between a regular and a wide width... and I wear between a size 10 and 10.5. 

 

The European size 41 is generally a bit larger than the American size 10, and gives me a better fit.

 

These days I purchase generally purchase Keene shoes/boots and New Balance sneakers because they both carry a 10.5 (and Keene has some wide shoes). -- For sandals I wear either the Vionic Tide or the Birkinstock wider sandals. -- And I'm a huge fan of the Arche Lilly styllish flats which are made of stretchable nubuck. The perforations and the stretchability at the top of the shoe gives a more customized and comfortable fit. ($290 in the US, but a lot less since I stock up on them in France during summer sales).

 

I would really appreciate it if QVC carried size 10.5 shoes because a lot of the time size 10 is just too tight and my feet swim in size 11 shoes.

For over 60 years, I have been a size10 medium shoe.  Two years ago after developing a bone spur on the Achilles' tendon of my right foot, I needed a 10.5 on that foot.

 

Not finding any, I had to go to an 11: the foot bed doesn't feel right, esp. where the arch hits.  Pads do not help .....this is why I now have a wardrobe of Easy Spirit clogs.

 

My poor left foot suffers too: nothing wrong with it but it now gets to swim in the 11's when clogs won't do.

 

Shoe manufacturers:  you are causing present pain and ensuring more future pain by causing the skeleton to become misaligned from accommodating ill- or non- fitting shoes " the missing " sizes are important.

 

Hmmmmm...wonder why they don't just skip 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.5..... and be done with it ( tongue-in-cheek )

You must not wear a 10 1/2 otherwise you would know THEY DONT!! offer a 10.5 almost never. I wear this size and I often wonder how the 6.5 or 7.5 or 8.5 or 9.5's would feel if we just told them to go up or down to the next size. But I guess you probably knew that.

It is unfortunate that most *shoe manufacturers* don't make a 10.5 size shoe, and I sympathize. But QVC can't carry what manufacturers don't make, and the manufacturers aren't going to make them just for QVC. The lack is with the manufacturers, not QVC.
