My trip to Italy required a lot of standing and walking on uneven and hilly terrain. These sneakers fit the bill. I inserted a pair of store-bought gel orthotics and it felt like I was wearing a pair of comfy slippers the entire trip. No backache either!

Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
Black is always smaller - I don't know why but black sneakers always fit different than white sneakers. I have worn Rykas for years without a problem. These were awful. Tight, too short in length, toe box was narrow (and I ordered wide) and had a strange clump of fabric at the end of the tongue inside which rubbed badly. Width wasn't true and length wasn't true. So I'm still searching for a black sneaker I can wear to work.

Perfect workout shoe for jazzercise and aerobics. I always purchase a half size larger in Ryka and the fit is perfect for my high instep, wide foot. On this Ryka I think the metallic trim is really cute.

I love these shoes. They fit according to size. I love the color. Lots of support and very comfortable. Plus Zappos was so nice and shipped them out next day with no extra charge.

Reviewer: Terry S from Tucson Az

Got these shoes because Ryka is supposed to be "built for women," with a wide toe bed, and proportionately narrow heel. I am very disappointed. I got my regular size, and not only was the toe bed cramped, but the shoes were too short. (I would have needed to go up at least 1/2 a size.) The only part that fit was the heel! I kept them because they were way more comfortable than the "Walmart wonders" I had been wearing!

I love this shoe! I teach a thirteen group exercise classes per week. I wear a size seven in this shoe. It works well for my cardio dance classes as well as strength training classes. It is the only shoe I have found that is light weight, supportive, flexible and available in a wide width. The large toe box and wide width allow for orthotics or Superfeet, if you need them. I love that it comes in black, too! I am on my fourth pair and hope they never discontinue this shoe!

The service from Zappos was very fast. I had read the reviews of others regarding these shoes and I\'m glad I did. I too needed a half size larger than I normally take in a fitness shoe.I needed the extra width(D) due to having bunions and orthotics which need to fit in my shoes. It\'s hard to find shoes in a wide width that will work for dance aerobics. The shoes fit well and I am wearing them comfortably to my Jazzercise classes 3 times a week. I can\'t speak to how well they wear because they are new. They won\'t be worn outside so they should last.

I was a big fan of the Ryka hightops before they were discontinued, so I was forced to buy these as an alternative. However, I am very happy with the way the shoe fits. It required no breaking in time for me and I am a kickboxin and step aerobics instructor. I will order another pair, hoping they won\'t discontinue this style.

Unfortunately, I haven't enjoyed these shoes for the purposes that I bought them for, which is to Jazzercise. I over-pronate, and found these to have very little support. I didn't feel they had much cushion support either. I do like the style, but find myself now wearing them only to take my dog to the dog park or errands (short ones that don't require much walking).

Love these shoes. I am a group fitness instructor & Rykas are the only shoes that fit my narrow heel but give me plenty of room in the toe box. They are usually true to size, but I did have to go up a half size on this one.

Reviewer: Cynthia j from Toms River, NJ

I have been wearing Rykas for the past few years. They have always fit like a glove until this past year. I have trouble understanding why a 7 in one style is different fitting than a 7 in another style. My last 3 pairs of Rykas have not been comfortable at all. They are eithter too too big in the toe area, or too short in the length. or just not wide enough. I know your foot can change but, I have 3 pairs of shoes that I am not comfortable with. I really should have returned them when I purchased then, which I have learned a lesson. I have always recommended Rykas to all my friends and now I can\'t. I know you have to keep changing the styles around because of competition, but, why did you have to stop making your all black walking shoe. Black goes with every thing.

I like the Ryka Intensity XT3 shoes, they are comfortable and come in wide, which was the deciding factor. Tried other shoe sites such as shoes on the Web and they didn\'t have wide or free return shipping.

Have worn several pairs of Rykas over the last few years for indoor exercise, mostly step aerobics classes. They are great- fit my foot better than New Balance, good lateral stability and great support and cushioning. Only found them in wide sizes at Zappos.

I got these shoes for step aerobics. I was suffering from plantar fasciitis and sore fore-feet from working out in run down running shoes. The support and cushioning in these shoes has made a huge difference. I like these shoes so well I'm going to order a second pair so I don't have to hunt for something new when my current pair wears out. Highly recommend.

My Ryka Intensity XT3 sku 7344767color black/silver mist/hot pink are very nice looking. I've had many compliments on them. I've had Rykas before and they have been very comfortable and cushy; these are not! I bought 2 different pairs of Rykas and neither are comfy, so I will have to add a cushy insole to both, as I work on concrete floors all day. Also, seems like they run a little short on length. Next time I'll buy at a store by my home so I can check these out before buying.

Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Shoe Width: Felt true to width
Love these shoes. I have a wide foot and narrow heel. I hate buying wide shoes because they make my feet look really fat and the shoes generally look "old". These actually make my foot look slimmer. Fit my feet perfectly and have excellent cushioning. I took the others' suggestions and ordered half a size up and and very glad I did. Great shoe for work outs, walking or just everyday wear!

Reviewer: from NYC
Overall: (5 Stars) Comfort: (5 Stars) Style: (5 Stars)
I bought this shoe in black (I recommend wearing a black low cut ankle sock if you get them in black; grey would work; white is dorky and weird) and love them. They are stylish, supportive, have great cushioning and a nice grippy sole and a great value. Hit the gym often and use them primarily for kickboxing and conditioning classes. I am a size 6 with super flat, very wide feet and they are snug and forgiving in all the right places. I haven't tried an orthotic, but it seems like it would easily accommodate. Highly recommend. This is my 2nd pair of Rykas and I am staying with them.

These were great for my wide feet. I bought them for Zumba class. They don\'t seem to have as much cushion as the cross training sneakers I usually use for aerobics, but Zumba doesn\'t involve as much high impact, so they are fine. \r\n\r\nZappo\'s shipping is incredibly fast. I am very satisfied with the purchases I have made on here!
