Suggestion Box

[Tantallum]

I guess this is a suggestion for both the shoe manufacturers/designers and the Q (because if the Q asked for it, the manufacturers would do it).

WHY is it that you offer half sizes in shoes up to size 10, but that after size 10, it is whole sizes only? Do you believe that once a humans foot gets to above a size 10, there is no gradation in increasing size? It's pretty ridiculous. I wear a size 11, but in some shoes brands, an 11 is a little too big and would love to get a 10.5 which is rarely available (never on the Q).

The average length of women's feet have increased in the past several decades, that is a fact. At least a third of all the women I know wear a 10 or above. Large sizes are always the first to sell out. I'm sure there are more women who have a 7.5 foot than a 10.5 foot but I have to believe that there is a big enough market (especially for a huge company like the Q) to make money on this size demographic. I have never understood why it is so difficult to get larger size shoes when there are so many of us women who need sizes >10.

They probably don't carry a 10.5 because there is not that much demand for them. I started wearing an 11 about 12 years ago but never wore a 10.5. I went right to the 11 from a 10. There is just a tiny fraction of an inch between a size and half size.

My complaint is just the opposite. I wish QVC and their vendors offered smaller shoes. They seem to be so proud of their "wide" widths. What about us ladies with small narrow feet? QVC feels they need to please the masses, and I guess the masses wear sizes 7-10 in wide widths.

I have a couple of other suggestions for QVC when presenting shoes. I wish they would give the heel height. They don't always do that and then they pick the shoe up and handle it in a way that you can't see the heel. My biggest gripe though, is that they don't tell you what the lining is (or if there is one) on the inside upper of the shoes/sandals. When they show them on air, it's now always visible. It's something I look for, as especially with sandals where they are worn with bare feet. Unless there's a moleskin type lining, they can tend to rub blisters on the feet. I have mentioned this on the Facebook pages of hosts that do shoe shows, but they never seem to take notice.

Excellent remarks!
