Ryka shoes on QVC

[mkunkel]

Did anyone see the hour presentation of Ryka shoes on QVC? I was flipping before bedtime and came across the show and it caught my interest since I've read that several of you like Ryka shoes. The crosstrainer ones looked pretty neat and the price was right, but it's hard to know if they are true to size and how comfy they really are. Anyway, just wondering what anyone thought of them and if the deals on QVC are really better than you can get elsewhere. I already have running shoes, but I want one good pair for strength training, some stepping and kickboxing, although the aerobic ones looked cool too, almost a high top but not quite. They might be on their website if they didn't sell out.
Anyway, I'm rambling. Any input would be appreciated.

Yes, I saw the show on QVC and ordered the aerobics shoes--on waitlist. My size (10) wasn't available, but some sizes were still in stock when I decided and ordered early this morning. I was also considering the cross-trainers and the yoga shoes but didn't follow through. The yoga shoes are available for less on the Ryka site (RITA price), but I didn't see a match for the aerobics or cross trainer there. I bought a pair of Ryka walking shoes from QVC as a TSV a couple of months ago and really like them. I've heard that they tend to fit a little small, but I ordered my regular size and didn't have a problem with them. I had bought AVIA aerobics shoes for years, but I've had trouble fitting my gunboats (had to go to a size 11--no 10 1/2 available, which was really too large) since they changed their sizing. I'm hopeful the Ryka aerobics shoes will fit as well as the walkers do. Hope we both find something to keep our feet happy!

I bought some last night. The aerobic shoes are the Stylus model. I think they were $52. I also bought a pair of Ryka cross trainers from QVC about six months ago. The prices are great at QVC. Buy Ryka's a half size larger than you normally wear, and you should be fine.

My experience with Ryka's may be unusual but, I wear a half size smaller in the cross-trainers. Everyone says that they run small so, I don't know why my three pairs have been different.

QVC also had a Ryka TSV way back in January, so keep your eyes peeled for future Ryka TSVs

I have two pairs of Stylus which I purchased from Roadrunnersports. I love them but did size up which I always do for Ryka aerobic shoes. I remember that www.penniesonthedollar.com have them for a little less and Free Shipping (I think). Also www.roadrunnersports.com have them for less but only have size 7 left.

I also got some Ryas from the penniesonthedollar website. I got Ryka ETS (I believe it was a little older "model" of the shoe), but they were a great price $49 vs Lady Footlocker $70. There were minor differences in the shoe, but for the $ savings I don't care.

Plus I saved $5 in sales tax

They had fast/free UPS ground shipping.

Wow! I got a lot more responses than I expected. Thanks for your input everybody. I'm going to the QVC site now (and maybe some of the other ones some of you suggested) to pick out a pair. Decisions, decisions. Almost as hard as deciding which Cathe DVD to get when you can't afford them all at one time. My wish list keeps on growing...
