Ryka makes a great shoe and the Revive 2 is no exception. I have lost track how many pairs of Ryka running/walking shoes I have purchased but highly recommend this brand because the fit is excellent and the cushioning perfect, especially for my old knees. Ordered 1/2 size larger to accommodate additional orthopedic. insole.

Love these sneakers - very comfortable. Look cute on. Very lightweight. Size was just as I always wear. Wore them for a whole day, felt like someone broke them in for me.

This is a great shoe. I was skeptical myself because of the money but I am completely impressed. I wear this shoe walking on pavement and the treadmill and love it. Very comfortable and very breathable.

I have narrow feet, so most athletic sneakers tend to cut off circulation to my toes because I need to lace them so tightly. The best thing about these shoes is that they're shaped in a way that keeps that from happening...my toes are comfy and cool all the time, while the shoe stays secure. They're nice-looking, too.

This shoe is just as I had hoped. I had a pair of Nike Running shoes for years nice and light just right on the feet. I saw these Ryka's and like the wider toe base. They fell great on my feet and very comfortable. Nice arch support, and wicking materials. Thumbs Up. And a plus to Zappos. Ordered Monday morning rec'd Tuesday afternoon. Awesome.

Great shoe! By far the most light-weight shoe I've ever had on my foot. I am a size 7 with a high arch, and these fit and support my foot perfectly.
I take boot camp classes and do cardio and weight training at the gym, and feel that these are great for my routine, despite the fact that they are running shoes.
The pink and orange are a tad bright for my personal taste, but that is very subjective.

Very cute and comfy. Not a lot of padding in the sole but still comfortable with moderate arch support. The Ryka brand claims to make shoes with a narrower heel and wider area in the front, this definitely is true. It's roomy without slipping off. Awesome shoes!

I bought these for my daughter for running. They are very lightweight and she says they are super comfortable. They seem very well built for the price. We got the blue/green pair and they are very pretty, too! Highly recommend these Ryka's.

I run about 15-20 miles a week and Rykas are the only shoes that seem to work for me - these are more cushion than support. I am not fond of the looks of them, actually I hate the looks of them. They do wear out after 3-4 months but they are cheap compared to many other running shoes so it's a good trade I guess.

Great arch support, fits perfectly, and really lets my foot "breathe." The only thing I'd change would be to include more color options. Best pair of running shoes I've ever purchased!

This is my first pair of running shoes (all my shoes before have been cross trainers) and 2nd pair of Rykas (I currently own a pair of their studio shoes). First off, I am finding Ryka's sizing to be inconsistent - I ordered these based on the size of the studio shoes and found these to be more than a half-size bigger (returns are easy with Zappos, but still!) - that said, these seem more true to size than the studio shoes. The toe box is nice and roomy in these shoes, and the mesh upper keeps my foot nice and cool (which right now, running in 40-degree weather, feels a bit breezy, but I know I will appreciate it this summer!). No breaking-in period and comfy right out of the box. Have only been running in them for 2 weeks, but so far, so good! :-)

It is a very comfortable shoe, true to size. I am giving it 4 stars because I am still trying to get used to the very shiny silver trim.

Great shoe! Very comfortable, super light, and a good looking alternative to the plain white sneaker.

I really wanted to like this shoe! I have tried Ryka a couple times now thinking maybe a new model/style would work better. What I find is that the interior heel is too short which makes my heel feel as if it's slipping up/out with each step. Where other running shoes have a slightly higher heel, this one is low inside and outside. I guess these are just not made for my foot. It's a very nice looking shoe, though, and I'd give it a 5 for style! Unfortunately, will have to go back.

I decided to give Ryka a try based on reviews and price. I agree with the reviewer who said the arch hits the wrong spot. The shoe seems stiff and doesn't offer enough cushioning. I run 10-15 miles a week and have been a Saucony fan. I'm returning these and ordering Saucony ProGrid Rides. Thank you Zappos for making shopping so easy!

Read the glowing reviews and purchased for Jazzercise. I wear an 11 street shoe and, typically, an 11 1/2 athletic shoe to allow for the movement of the foot during activity. Even though I've always heard Ryka runs short, since they don't make 11 1/2 I tried the 11. My toe was touching the front edge of the shoe and the entire shoe felt snug. They still run small! I knew it would be even more uncomfortable once I started jumping around in class. There did not seem to be good support for lateral movements like grapevines, etc. I also have high arches and didn't feel the shoe had good arch support. There was absolutely no room for me to even think about adding a more supportive insole. Sadly, will be sending these back and my hunt for the perfect jazzercise shoe continues. Zappos rocks even though this shoe didn't for me.

I have been a long time new balance girl and took a chance on these with all the good things I've read. They are definitely narrower in the heel and middle with good arch support, but I completely disagree with the notion that these have a wide toe box. Space for your toes is crucial when running and these are ridiculously narrow even though Ryka claims they are spacious in that area (I also size up a full size for running shoes but it is side to side that is narrow). I will be switching back to new balance - at least these were only this price.

I bought these because I have very high arches and I had hopes but alas, they do not have enough arch support for me, not even close. Sadly I wore them to work to test them out. Dur to that I cannot return them. But if you have very high arches, I say look elsewhere.

I am a neutral stride with narrow feet and high arches - these are a great style for my kind of foot! I would like to have a bit higher arch, but don't necessarily expect Ryka to cater to the minority (my arches are higher than the average bear). Lightweight and look good.

This is my 2nd pair of Rykas and I love them enough to be looking around for a 3rd pair. I have been recommending them to my friends also. I wear mine for walking, jogging and even to work with jeans as I am on my feet most of the day, teaching.

Love them and loved the price. These shoes are very light weight on your feet. They feature that RYKA comfort fit for woman's foot.

I bought these shoes to wear at Disney World. They arrived and I did not have time to try them out before we left. I really was not worried about it because this is my sixth pair of Rykas and I will not buy anything else. They always fit great and are comfortable right out of the box. They fit well, provide good support and are true to size.
