This is exactly my opinion. I can't believe it. lol!
I've just ordered two pairs (the white & black) of the 'Betula by Birkenstock Energy Eva Flip Flops' from Amazon for £28. It would have been an extra £10 on QVC (they would have have had the colours I ordered). I'm going to see how I get on with these, but I might get more colours in them yet too.

They keep banging on about how light the PVA ones are but still put them in a heavy box and charge you £3.95 to try to guess the size!

What an absolutely rubbish TSV. These sandals are truly hideous. QVC are really going downhill. The buyers want sacking.

I have these in 3 different colours -black/white/navy they are the most comfy flip flops i have ever owned - hope you find the same
These look poor qualty, badly made; I could see shards of the plastic, or rubber, hanging off the shoe. Normally, QC at Birkenstock, would have tidied all that up. I know they are not expensive, but one still expects a well made, presentable item, especially from a brand with a reputation to maintain.
Can anyone remember the flip flops, from the 60s/70s? White sole bed, with coloured sole and toe post.

I thought the same as you Louise66, the jagged edges make them look cheap, so put off from trying them. I know that they are adjustable but they they looked very wide on the models' feet and as I have narrow feet the wrap over part would be scraping the ground to get them to stay on, not a good look!

I know with the two strap ones I had to put an extra hole in to tighten them enough for my feet. As no buckle on these might be hard to get them to fit for many.

I agree Donna. I have a pair of Birkis with a Velcro strap from QVC and they are velcrosed to their max as I have slim feet, luckily the leather has not stretched much.
The TSV ones are so ugly that I would never wear them anyway.

These don't do it for me either. I love the Madrid style because of the single strap and have a few pairs - a couple from QVC and the rest I have ordered direct from Germany www.footshopping.com. Free delivery, good service and huge choice if anyone is interested. I put an order in late on Wed and it is leaving Germany today for delivery on Monday.
Thanks for that link - just did a comparison on a pair I liked. A whopping ten pound saving compared to the QVC price.

I ordered them to wear around the house and perhaps with crops later on as I do love the flip flops but I would never wear them with a dress, in fact I find very few of the Birkenstocks look right with dresses unless you are like the models and still able to wear a little mini sun dress.

My pink pair arrived yesterday and I think they look much better in real life (still only for very very casual wear though.
They are much harder than their other styles in this material, I have a small bunion and it was a bit uncomfortable but I gave the strap a bit of a wiggle back and forth and it has improved that so I think a bit more will do the trick.
One thing, I am convinced I is at least a half size bigger than the other but OH said it is my feet!
