Dune Footwear TSV 27/10/23
I hope they are the look you want and that they make you happy. It doesn't matter an iota what other people say. Enjoy them.I like my boots to be noticeable they won’t be used for long walks just evenings out so I’ve ordered the white.![]()
Me too, far too much going on. I have to say that over the years I've developed a dislike for anything "statement" Don't get me wrong, I don't mind "bold" but for me there's a point when it can tip over into ott territory. I've got a pair of biker style boots, the heel is chunky but not over so, they've got a couple of buckles to give them that look. I've got a black and gold animal print wrap (oversized scarf) it can be worn inside or outside of an outer garment but it doesn't make me look like I'm about to start singing opera -"drama" kimono anyone?! I've got a few necklaces but I'll wear one to enhance an outfit and not overpower.Far too fussy for me. I have a biker boot from ugg gorgeous. They even put a sheepskin inner sole inside.
Wow! I would only ever buy heavy items from companies that offer free returns. I don't mind so much when the charge is £3 or £4 (the price of a bus fare or a sarnie and a bag of crisps) but when it's money that can actually buy you something then that's a no no for me!I really liked them but with my wide fit feet with high instep, no chance. I have learnt never to trust QVC with sizing and I need to try footwear on. Incidentally the thought of return postage put me off. I ordered daughter pay go moda pelle boots from their own site. Didn’t fit. Left one was sized oddly. The lady at post office asked me the value. When I told her, it cost me £11 to return, yes £11, because of weight and the insurance on the item. Got refund fast, though but lesson learnt.
Yes. Because they were a birthday present for my daughter and it was what she asked for, I didn’t check. She has “ordinary “ feet so, silly me, I never thought about returning. There was something odd about the left foot. But lesson learnt - check return policy. I should have tried other couriers as well. It was my own fault.Wow!

Thank you it really doesn’t bother me when others dislike something as I’ve often said it myselfI hope they are the look you want and that they make you happy. It doesn't matter an iota what other people say. Enjoy them.
Absolutely, loads of women have wide feet, it's to do with your frame, not your weight. And yet I think because of perceived ideas of female "beauty" it's seen as some sort of aberration. QVC used to do some wide fittings and I'm sure they don't now because they would work out a bit more expensive. But I'd happily pay an extra few ££ for stylish footwear that was just a few mm wider. How many women go up a size just to get the width? I bet it's thousands.Like so many of QVC boots, too narrow but not described as a narrow fitting. It's as if having a narrow foot is normal whereas a wide fitting has to be catered for and advertised specifically but I bet that at least a third of their customers have wider feet. And another gripe - they very rarely show the soles of any shoes or boots for any length of time, if at all, yet it's one of the most important parts of the shoe or boot because accidents can happen if there's not enough grip. I don't like these boots anyway, nor do I need another pair.
Yes I have fallen for the £11+ cost of returning an item and vowed never to do it again.Still it is cheaper than keeping and paying for an expensive item! The Dyson hairdryer was one and another a Radley bag.They we’re back with QVC within hours but then the usual wait for refund.I really liked them but with my wide fit feet with high instep, no chance.

If there was definitely something wrong with the construction of the item they should have paid the return postage.Yes. Because they were a birthday present for my daughter and it was what she asked for, I didn’t check. She has “ordinary “ feet so, silly me, I never thought about returning.

I feel the same way but I think you should go for it if you really don't care a rat's a**se what others think. Quite a number of women post photos of their feet in their outrageous boots, never showing the rest of themselves.Are these pantomime boots ? I have several pairs of Dune (proper) shoes bought years ago, are actually attractive and which I still wear.
I'm a dinosaur I know, but seeing these unladylike biker boots worn with summer dresses just jarrs on me. Anyone over 50 wearing that look is trying too hard and a bit tragic tbh.
