Are they really waterproof though? Or are they going to have water stains/mud stains/grass stains etc all over them after a couple of wears - especially the light colours.

For those of us (like me) that live in the sticks, trek through fields while walking dogs, there's mud, puddles, cow muck and all the rest and I've had dozens of pairs of these type of boots and they are ruined after a couple of walks. All these boot companies are making these types of footwear that look cool for Christmas market wandering, mulled wine in a city pub, carols in the village green type of events but they are no good for the real life scenarios. Please give us some industrial strength winter boots and I'm in. Wellies are my winter footwear but they are cold and your feet freeze.

Can you get fur-lined wellies, CC? If not, why not?!

CC

they do have a metal stamp on the side that says waterproof, but I totally agree with you.

Don't know but I shall find out!

The last time I complained about boots leaking water in and getting water stained I was told they were "fashion boots". Oh, so not meant for wearing outside in winter then, even though they cost £100

Edit: The fashion boots weren't bought from QVC.

 

[donna255]

Yes, Reiker etc are all not really meant to be worn in wet weather. I was told that years ago.

I do own a pair of Skechers waterproof ankle boots, fur lined. Bought them for half price in their sale at the beginning of the year. We have a shop so able to try on and ask if they were regular fit before I bought.

I bought some Emu waterproof skeepskin-lined boots years ago. They took a bit of wearing-in but they're grippy, warm and comfy and I still wear them. I think they were a TSV because the prices are much higher now but I'd buy a pair again if I needed.

Very much agree with you.
A few years ago I bought (from qvc) some waterproof leather fur lined boots (Emu?) and they serviced me well for dog walking in fields. Then the leather started to part company from the sole and let in water so we're ditched. As for wellies I wear a trustee pair of yellow Crocs - surprisingly warm as toast and have known to be barefoot in them in deep snow !

 

[Patsy]

I've ordered the grey ones. Hubby paying for them for my Christmas present.
I've got proper walking boots for snow and wet weather.

 

[Patsy]

Update on my order for the TSV placed Friday 15th.
Rang to check the status as TSV's are usually despatched immediately. I've been told that they are awaiting stock!!! I asked why money had been taken before goods had been despatched and was informed it was common practice,I told them Amazon and no other company I have dealt with does this.
I've cancelled the order and asked to ensure postage is credited back as well.
I've not ordered for a very long time and it'll be a cold day in hell before I order again.

 

[donna255]

They always used to say no money taken until the item was despatched. Why has it changed?

 

[Toril]

QVC took the money when I ordered something, but I then cancelled it. The money was showing as pending in my account but the pending note disappeared about 10 days later and no money was taken. It’s happened a couple of times but I ignore it now if I’ve cancelled an order.

The money for orders from Amazon and any other companies I deal with also “take” the money as soon as the order is confirmed and the money leaves my account once the order’s been delivered. I guess it’s standard practice with most companies

To be honest I've never noticed pending from Amazon on my cc. I must check it next time I order .

 

[donna255]

I never check with Amazon. Just order item arrives next day usually.

 

[Toril]

It might depend on what your bank shows in your account. One of my banks, the Nationwide, always shows which payments are pending after an order is made. It also sometimes shows “tomorrow” when a payment is due to leave my account. I’ve got two Amazon orders on their way, one today and one tomorrow, and both are pending. The money will leave my account on the day that the goods arrive.

I do check my bank accounts every day and generally use each bank’s app. I don’t know if the financial details are as precise on their sites when accessed through the internet because I rarely use that method.

Were with Nationwide flex plus account and I use the app on the phone. As I said I usually use the cc but for some reason QVC is on my dc so that's how I saw it.
Wonder how long it will take to get I back.

I’m probably misunderstanding completely.

Has it physically left your account? It might show as being taken when you check your balance, but it will be pending even if it doesn’t say it is. If they have actually taken the money out then that’s the first time I’ve heard of QVC doing it before. Maybe a quick call to Nationwide will help because they’ll know the true status of the payment.
