These sneakers are okay. I got black, hoping for something a little more dressy than they turned out to be. The support is not great.

These Ryka shoes are the best shoes I have worn in years. I will always use Zappos, so much easier then going to the mall. Nice to know you have a year to return if needed.

This is the third pair of Ryka Versa Mary Janes that I have purchased. They are very comfortable and have just the right amount of arch support if you are on your feet all day. I work in a hospital and get many compliments on these. So they not only feel great, they are also fashionable. They are my favorite work shoes. Incidentally, I work out at a gym after work and found that they transition very well into an exercise shoe when needed. A great shoe, all around.

I love these shoes. This is my third pair. I use them for dance aerobics and they offer the support I need.

Love them. Bought them to wear with yoga pants/lounge wear. Not really a work out shoe. Great for weekends/errands. Very comfortable. Easy to slip on and off.

I have very difficult feet to fit because I have a bunion that can cause issues. Currently I am also dealing with plantar fasciitis and am on my feet all day as a teacher. I had been wearing my Ryka running shoes every day. I wanted something that provided me the comfort and support of a running shoe, in a style that I could wear with black pants to look a bit more professional. These Versa Mary Janes fit the bill perfectly. They were comfortable right out of the box and provide the support I need to be on my feet. I am pain free all day. They also accommodate my orthotics. I hope Ryka will continue to branch out a bit and make a few more styles that combine comfort and support into shoes that look a bit less athletic like this one.

The reviews said this shoe was totally wearable but a couple people said they needed to order a 1/2 size up. I found that the construction of toe box makes it too narrow for my foot and I didn\'t think a size up would help. Otherwise they felt very comfortable in the heel and on the sole. If you prefer or need a wide toe box, you may want to try a different shoe. As ever, Zappos delivery is just fantastic. I\'m going on a trip and even though this pair didn\'t work out, I\'ve ordered another shoe knowing I\'ll still have time to get it and try it out before next week.

This is the most comfortable walking shoe I have found. I can walk for hours without my feet hurting or getting too hot. I love them so much that this is my 2nd pair! However, they do seem to run small. I normally wear an 8.5 or 9 depending on the shoe. With this one, I had to order a size 9.5.

The Versa Mary Jane has been the most comfortable shoe for me to wear. I have two colors and wear them almost every day. I recommend!

I ordered the Ryka Versa Mary Jane shoes which I believe are discontinued in this style. I was excited to find them in stock so I ordered two pairs. I had excellent and prompt service. I will order from Zappos again.

Another great product from Zappos! The Ryka shoes are comfortable for walking and Jazzercise. I appreciate the timeliness of the delivery and the customer care!

These shoes are the best walking shoes I\'ve had in a long time. I bought them to use at the gym, and they are great for that, but more importantly they are always comfortable when I\'m walking around town, which I do a lot of. The style was not as cute in real life as I thought it would be, though.

The Ryka Mary Jane is extremely comfortable. The adjustable hook and loop strap allows for finding the perfect fit. I have one foot that is size 9, the other 9.5. I ordered the 10 and it fits great. As an educator I am on my feet all day and my work shoes are not that comfortable. When I come home I put on these shoes and my feet feel as though they are wrapped in pillows. I wear them when grocery shopping, cleaning or going out. I purchased the black shoes first, loved them, and then later purchased the gray.

Bought this shoe for a trip to Europe in May. Very comfortable right out of the box. Walked the streets of Amsterdam and Eastern Europe and never had tired feet - can't beat the price!

Reviewer: Diane A from Austin, Texas

Since this shoe is not offered in a 7.5 wide width I knew going up a half size would be necessary and planned to order a size 8. Then, after reading other reviews that said to go up a whole size, decided to order the 8.5 and I am glad I did. Could have more arch support, but I did not feel any sharp shooting pains from that part of my foot during an hour of aerobics class so I knew these were keepers. Plus they are lightweight and feel like supportive dance shoes during Jazzercise. Like how easy they are to slip on and go. My mom ended up returning hers, but she has a more slender foot than mine and they just did not feel right to her during class. Suggest ordering thin socks if you have a wide foot like mine.

Got the Ryka's for a trip to Europe and walked all over Paris in these shoes. Very comfortable, though little arch support. The velcro strap makes it easy to take on and off and so the shoes become a good travel alternative to running shoes while providing a lot of the same benefits. The Mary Jane style is cute, but I am sure I still looked pretty touristy.

I get compliments on these shoes ALL the time. They are cute and the most comfortable shoes I own. Since knee surgery I can't wear many types of shoes but these are absolutely perfect. I recommend them to everyone.

These Ryka shoes are the best ever! I had a bout with sciatica, and had to be very choosy in selecting shoes because I'm a teacher and stand most of the day. I wore these shoes almost exclusively for 6 months; they are comfortable the moment you put them on, and remain that way, great arch support!

I really love these shoes. I had a pair in black that I found at a local store. They were so comfortable and they were nicer looking than regular athletic shoes (which I usually wear because I have Arthritis and a somewhat collapsed arch). I went online to see if they had any other colors available, which was the grey/blue combination. I recommend these to anyone who likes or needs to wear a supportive athletic shoe, but would like something less sporty looking.

Very Comfortable - Love these shoes, great for active women, look ok, but not like the standard gym shoe. Great for everything, but hiking in the woods. The Mary Jane style lets every chunk of dirt in! Really comfortable.
