I have noticed that in the past year Rika shoes have not been as plentiful.  There use to be many styles for each season.  I wanted the clogs and you will never guess where I found them--on Amazon.  Brand new and about $20 cheaper.

I have many pairs of Rykas from the past and they're great. The last pair of Ryka clogs that I ordered around 4 years ago was "dumbed down" --- cheaply made. As other shoe brands, the prices of Ryka are way up --- and the shoes are BAD!!!! Good Riddance to this company.

Frankly, I'm surprised anyone still buys these shoes.  Their sizing is so inconsistant, the customer never knows how they'll fit.  In the past year, I've gotten Rykas that are too long, too short, too wide, too narrow.  I've gotten quite a few on Zulily while the same shoe was on QVC for $20+ more.

Same here, @Kachina624. I used to buy a lot of Ryka's and never an exchange. They've completely given up on any quality control. Everything's gone downhill: inconsistent sizing big time and you can no longer count on even the same model being the same size. Inside seaming rough and rub your foot. They've become less flexible and don't even look good any more. I don't know how they're selling anything anymore. Not for me. They don't even look cute....

I also have given up on Ryka. I bought a pair of sneakers and were very pleased with them. So I ordered another pair. I wore the sneakers outside. I did not wear them in puddles but there was rain. Next time I wore the sneakers the sole of the shoe had detached from half of the shoe.

Then I ordered memory foam sandals to walk the dog. The straps on the sandals were so loose, I had a hard time keeping the sandals on my feet. So I figured I would use the sandals to get the newspaper or trash on rainy days. They have not fallen apart yet. Figures, I wouldn't care if they did fall apart - so I could throw them out.

Seems the Q has opted to carry the more expensive shoes these days. I won't drop name brands but you know who they are...A, F, V, M...and more.

With Athleisure shoes, I've had a lot of luck with HSN's Easy Spirit and Naturalizer's BZees. They are much better than Ryka's and much cuter than Skechers. I've gotten some nice Sperry Boat shoes there, also. And, if you're in no hurry and wait until the end of the season you can get some ridiculous sales and enjoy some nice shoes.

Even the Q's Clark's are awful with Quality Control. You cannot rely on them for size, and you pay $l2. to try their inconsistent sizing on. At HSN, I get them on sale and free S&H. If I do have to return, at least I just pay one return fee.

QVC got me into purchasing and looking for Ryka.  I loved the way they fit and wore.  They were the first clog sneakers that I had purchased.  Now they are hard to find.  RYKA Management, where are you?  Where are those lovely dependable shoes "made for women?"  We WANT them available and dependable!  Thanks....
