Wonderful shoe - But, I must return it due to size. My foot slid. Possibly 1/2 size smaller would help. But it does not come in 10.5 M. Fit is everything so I chose the RYKA SOLACE that fit perfectly. Overall fit and stability is what I am looking for. I loved the shoe, but I found a better fitting one. Zappos is MY FAVORITE SHOE STORE. Service is OUTSTANDING. Thank you so much ZAPPOS.

Great shoe - I have terrible feet, and so far this is the only walking shoe that I find comfortable!! It's great for wide feet, and the heel isn't huge. Very comfortable!!!

Dog walking shoe - I walk dogs for a living and stride firmly on concrete. This shoe works great for the cost.

Love these shoes! This is the third Ryka style I've had and I love all three! Bless Ryka for recognizing that women's feet are different ... the shoes are designed to give plenty of toe room, yet provide the narrower heel. For those of us with wide feet, these are absolutely perfect. The GCB Walk is lightweight, yet provides the stability you really need when you're on your feet all day. I have only one complaint: Ryka, put in longer laces! I always have to go buy the 45" laces so I have enough to really get a good tie.

Ryka GCB Walk Review - I walk about 3 miles every day. So, I need good shoe. I have always liked Ryka and the price was right on this one. Also, this web site is great! I have used it in the past and was impressed. I was worried about this shoe at first because the heel seemed to slip. However, after walking a while it conformed to my foot wonderfully. I love them now!

Great walking shoes - I have worn Ryka walking shoes for years and find they are the best fit overall. There is never a "break in" period. Great overall shoe.

Ryka makes an outstanding product! Excellent walking shoe made for women by women. Fit is comparable to Saucony's (narrow heel and wide toe box). Shoe isn't as cushiony as some Sauconys, but extremely comfortable regardless. Lightweight as well. I ordered 1/2 size larger than my normal shoe size, as I wear thick socks for additional comfort and padding.

My feet were happy on my walk and my back felt great. I love the look of the sneaker and how wonderfully comfortable and light they feel on the foot.

This is a great shoe for women. The heel is designed with a more narrow fit than the front of the shoe which makes for a great fit and just the right support.

GREAT WALKING SHOES - My sister told me to look into Ryka shoes. This is my first pair of Ryka walking shoes. I walk 2.5 miles a day and needed a good supportive shoe along with comfort. This shoe is ideal!! I wear orthotics in my shoes and with my particular orthotics this shoe worked out well. I highly recommend these shoes to ladies who walk a lot for exercise as well as an everyday walking shoe.

Ryka's Walking Shoe - These shoes were recommended for women in a magazine, which prompted my purchase. We did a lot of walking on our recent vacation in Wales and my feet never hurt.

Finally a shoe in my size that really fit--often the 5 1/2 is a tad too small and the 6 is too big. Very attractive--subtle color so it goes with everything.

Ryka makes comfy shoes and Zappos rules - Some time ago a Footlocker salesperson told me that Ryka specializes in shoes for woman and that the toe boxes are designed wider for us. Whether or not that is true, I have found Ryka wonderful for my short wide feet. I now cannot find wide Ryka shoes anywhere but Zappos. Thank you, Zappos! I like the design especially on this very comfortable pair of shoes.

Nice...real nice - Soft as cotton, sporty, and looks really good on the feet. I am closer to 50 than 15, and my daughters tell me they want a pair, but they can't have what I have.

Outstanding customer service and return policy. I "always" wear a size 8 1/2 however for some reason after buying Zappos shoes, I found the shoes hurt my toes. I realized they were too small AFTER I had used them. I phoned customer service and they let me send my worn shoes back for a new pair of size 9. Now I LOVE my new shoes!

Good shoe for wide feet - I was having problems finding a sneaker that was comfortable for my wide foot. I have always bought New Balance sneakers but the last ones that I bought were not well made. My chiropractor told me that they don't make New Balance shoes like they used to and recommended Ryka shoes. They definitely have room in the toe area, however I wouldn't give them a 5 star rating as they are still not that comfortable because they are a little narrow in the width towards the back part of my foot so that when I walk for awhile I can feel a little pressure, I bought a 7.5 wide, I normally wear 7 wide in regular shoes (not sneakers).

Walking shoes - This is a nice walking shoe. I wouldn't call it great. I wish the heel cup was a little deeper and they felt just a little bit narrow. I never wore Ryka before and I really am not too sure I would buy again. I wear these for my daily walking.

Less comfortable then I expected - I was expecting more cushion in the heel area for this shoe. It does have plenty of room in the bed for my orthotic and a wide toe area. I use it in the gym, it is fine the elliptical walker and cycle but I would not use for arobic's or extended walking. It is true to size.

Super arch support, soft walking - This shoe is a great walking shoe. More padding and arch support than other Ryka walking shoes I have. The laces are way too short, and my feet slide a bit in them. Not enough to give blisters on a three mile walk, but more than I would like. Also, the one shoe bends over the toes and this is slightly disturbing, but hasn't caused any problem, hopefully the shoe will soften with some age.

Because I only wear Birkenstocks, my feet won't tolerate a 'normal' shoe fit but I 'power walk', sometimes over 30 miles a week, and can't do that in Birkenstocks. I've tried many other types of walking shoes and find Ryka's feel better, lend more support and last longer than any other shoe I've tried. And they allow for that 'Birkenstock spread' my feet have acquired. My only issue is the sizing. Ryka's run a half size smaller than marked. Other than that, a great shoe for walking.

Great Fit - I have bought Ryka shoes from the original company and then lost them for a time of their reorganization/ I am so glad that Zappos.com has this brand Ryka/ It is a great fitting shoe with excellent toe bed room and nice narrow heel/ Our feet are different from men's and this company recognizes this fact/The arch support and stability are important to me too as walking for exercise is enjoyable when your feet are stable in the footbed/ Hoosier Girl

Great comfort, comes in wide :) I already had purchased a pair of these from one of the Women's shoe stores in the mall, and knew I liked the feel of the shoe. When the mall store no longer had my size, I came here (recommended by a coworker). I wear the shoes 5-7 days a week, and somewhere between 2 hours (on weekends) to 12+ hours a day. The shoes held up a good 4 to 5 months of continuous wear, my feet stayed cool most days, but I was disappointed with how dirty the shoes became (they quickly look worn in). I finally had to break down and buy a new pair when the treads on the bottom of the shoes began to tear off. I'm now on my second pair.
