I have always enjoyed the Ryka studio shoes for step aerobics and kickboxing. When I learned I'd be teaching a boot camp, I purchased the Ultima Run. I was a bit uneasy at first, not sure this would be the right shoe - but I absolutely love them. Extremely comfortable; I wear them all the time, even for my studio classes. They accommodate my orthotics easily, and the toe box is extra roomy.

I ordered these 7.5 months ago and have worn them almost every day since as I walk to class and work (1.5-2.5 miles per day). They fit fairly well and didn't squash my toes at all. However, I found that the heel was slightly too loose, so I ended up wearing through the padding in the back of the heel.

These shoes are amazingly light and are like running on a cloud! I've had these shoes about 1.5 years and I had a strong heel strike when I first got them, but since then, I've become more of a mid-step striker and these shoes feel even better. I wish they came in less girlie colors, but the fit is perfect and they are cute (I have the teal ones). I'll definitely get these shoes again when I'm due for a new pair of treadmill/street run shoes.

Have never bought running shoes before and use these for power walking combined with sprinting. Love them. Very comfortable.

Very lightweight. Love them. Have them in both places I live. Great for the gym, not recommended for the trail because they get dirty.

I have purchased many Ryka shoes primarily for walking and working out. They are the most comfortable of the genre for my very long, very narrow feet. I would prefer a narrow size but find that appropriate socks solve the width issue. I have recommended Ryka to others and most have moved solely to the brand.

These shoes are extremely comfortable and accommodated my orthotic. Great support and very breatheable.

I really like this shoe style. I'm wearing plastic braces on both feet that go under my soles inside the shoes and need to for another 8 months after extensive ankle surgery on both feet.
