This is my second pair of Rykas though of a different style. I wear one or the other when walking in the forest with my very active dog several times day where I live.

I am on my feet, standing, for 4 hours and I no longer have achy feet or legs after my shift! Great for walking too! Very comfy!

Most comfortable, easy walking shoe I have had in years! Just slipped my orthotic in and ready to go! Does not have the heavy support needed for a lot of fast walking, and certainly not for running - but for comfortable normal walking, it's the best I've found for my problem feet. I have purchased three pairs so far - stocking up in case they are discontinued in the future. Neat looking, also.

Love these shoes! So light you don't even feel like you're wearing a pair of shoes. I wore them to move from the top floor of my building down 4 flights of stairs to the first floor apartment and was tired but my feet felt great!

Perfect! These are my third pair of Ryka's and I absolutely swear by them. I walk approximately 3-4 miles 3-5 times a week and these are comfortable from the moment i put them on. My heels are very narrow and usually hard to fit, but not with Ryka. these do run 1/2 size small; i ordered an 8 in a different style and they were too short. Saw the reviews on this model with same comments and ordered accordingly. Very satisfied. Doing business with Zappos could not be easier unless they were located here in town. They are a terrific company. I ordered these after 4 PM and got them the next morning! Amazing. I will always recommend Zappos.

This is my second pair of Rykas. There is no breaking in period and they fit me true to size. I use them for fitness walking and working out. My orthotics fit in these shoes easily. I highly recommend these sneakers. Zappos, as usual is fast! I got my order the next business day!

I am happy with these for general, light weight walking on flat ground. I would not recommend them for extensive hiking.

I have never ordered shoes online but I decided to give it a try. The sizing tips and guarantee gave me confidence to order my Ryka walking shoes. I am most pleased with the service and the perfect fit of my shoes. I will surely use Zappos again.

This is my first time purchase for this brand, I am very excited. They felt great, were nice and cushy and even had lots of room in the toe area. I bought them for a Fall work shoe.

These are the only brand of shoes I can wear that fit correctly, support my arches, feel like they weigh nothing, do not slip up and down in the heel area, are available in my size, and come in colors other than bright white.

I read the Consumer Report on walking sneakers and bought both of the top two pairs which included the Ryka Radiant from Zappos. This sneaker is so unbelievably lightweight, comfortable and breathable that I bought a second pair within 2 months. I walk for exercise (health) anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 steps/day and I use these sneakers for Zumba and Step Aerobics. I am getting ready to buy a third pair (remember that I just bought my first pair 4-5 months ago) because I don't want to find out that this sneaker has been discontinued. I walk on the sidewalk, street, gym track, and natural canal path and find this sneaker totally appropriate for all surfaces. Last weekend, I walked the Freedom Trail in Boston, MA and my feet were cushioned for hours and felt great after 5 miles. It was raining and although these sneakers are very breathable, my feet remained fairly dry. I highly recommend these sneakers and remember you should rotate your sneakers every day or two if you are serious about walking for health and exercise.

Just got these and immediately had to write and say they feel great right out of the box. The feel of my pinkie toes is a big concern and I had thought that I could only wear New Balance because I need the deep or wide toe box or whatever (I don't really have wide feet, as such, just in that spot for some reason). Bu this was such a good deal and the comments were encouraging about that, so I bought last night, got it this afternoon (hooray, Zappos, I love you so much). Success! These will be my new go-to shoes and at this sale price, they're half what the NB replacements were going to be! Yay!

Hadn't purchased sneakers for about 16 months, and saw these online. Price was right, and shopping with Zappos was and is the best way for me. Love the service and convenience. Also, love this shoe...good support and really lightweight.

I love these shoes. Actually, I was replacing 2 wore pair. I do stuff a tea towel in the toe overnight. It stretches the leather just enough to feel like I've worn them for weeks! Not necessary, but a good tip as Ryka makes B or wide!

Ryka shoes are just made for women and the fit shows this. Always fit like a glove and are so incredibly comfy. I had strayed for awhile and bought regular shoes but I always come back to Ryka. I've loved them for years!

I love my new Rykas!!! I had a very old pair of sneakers that I used to go to the gym with and use on the treadmill. I was looking for a lightweight, good looking sneaker and I found it with the Radiant Ryka sneaker. Now at the gym not only does it make it more comfortable to move with, it’s lightweight, I also receive compliments on how nice they look and how they look very comfortable. The sneaker is also supportive across the foot as well. I did have to go up a half size, so keep that in mind when ordering. You will love this shoe.

Great Ryka quality and consistent sizing. Love unique smaller heel fit (for women) and wider toe box.

Ordered these a couple of months ago and tried them on and put them in the closet to use when the weather warmed up. Unfortunately, when I put them on & walked around in my apartment there was a lot of pressure on the ball of my foot which was very uncomfortable. So, this was not a good fit for me. Otherwise they are a nice looking sneaker. I'm sorry that I had to return them.

I usually take a 10 so I bought a 10 1/2, too small in toe area, narrow and too shallow. I need height in toe area to breathe. I forgot to try on socks. But with 10 1/2 it is impossible to put on socks. I wish they made it in a wider width.

Stylish shoe that as a nurse I wear at work. Have worn Ryka for at least 10 years now. Zappos is convenient, easy and responsive to my needs. Thanks!

These shoes were light and comfy. My doctor suggested running shoes for my extreme flat feet. These seemed to be the answer to my problem.
