Good little shoe for everyday activities, but not if you’re a serious walker, the shoe is kind of flimsy and does not have much support. Ryka used to make a great walking shoe, but they changed their products, so I'm still searching for a good walking shoe with a good stabilizer.

To be used for volunteer work in Hospital. Soles squeaked loudly with every step - hardly suitable for a quiet environment!

Love these shoes. I really like the way the heel hugs your foot. Most sneakers have a wide heel which rubs and irritates my skin, but these don't they are great. They also have extra room in the toe area so your feet don't get cramped. This makes it really nice when you are walking long distances or working out and your feet start to swell. I would definitely recommend this shoe to anyone looking for a comfortable walking shoe.

I have never bought Ryka shoes. I have had trouble lately buying sport shoes. I am apparently allergic to the synthetics manufacturers are using. My feet start to burn after a couple of hours. Thankfully these particular shoes are not bothering my feet. They are very comfortable. I did have to order half a size larger then my normal size. I have worn them all day with no problems. The toe area is nice and large so my toes do not feel scrunched.

I already owned this shoe in the azalea color. Size 6 fit me perfect, but when I ordered the same shoe in this blue color, the size 6 was too short. Although I always wear a size 6, I had to get the 6 1/2 and it seems to work better for me.

I have worn Rykas for years and love them. I semi-speed walk with my dog and these shoes are very supportive. I have a bad bunion on one foot and it is never bothered by this shoe.

These shoes are the best! I have a very square foot and the toe box on these are perfect for me. Also nice and cushy!

I am an older woman who has trouble finding walking shoes that are comfortable, lightweight and fit really well. These shoes are the best that I have had in a long, long time. Thank you Ryka and Zappos!

These shoes are so amazingly comfortable and lightweight. Great cushion support with a spring in them. I have plantar fasciitis and can fit my orthotics in them; I just went up 1/2 a size. Great shoe - please offer more colors.

I am a physical therapist and have been wearing Rykas since they were first introduced and have recommended them to 100's of patients. I am not happy with the changes they have made in their shoes. They do not fit as well and are just not as comfortable for "all day, on your feet" work like I do. I am sad that I am going to have to start trying other brands after 25 years of complete comfort from these shoes.

I owned one other pair of Ryka walkers before this and specifically looked for this brand because I liked it so much. I find the brand runs small, so order at least a half size up. This particular pair has an almost unnoticeable rocker in the sole, but does round outward. In general, a good pair of sneakers. Will buy Ryka brand from now on.

I am using these for a walking class and they are comfortable and have good arch support. I would choose them again.

I power walk daily. This shoe was comfortable from the first time I put it on. It is true size and looks nice. It provides good support. I am going to order another pair!

I always have a problem finding a pair of good walking shoes and a good fit. These shoes were perfect from the word go! I love these shoes. Not a negative thing to say. I go to Disneyland all the time and honestly it took about 12 hours of continued walking through the park until my feet started to ache. If you need a wonderful pair of shoes this is the pair! I just wish they had a black colored pair so I could wear them to work.

Shoe-shopping has always been difficult for me and something that I dread doing, because I have had trouble finding shoes that actually feel good on my feel. In walking shoes, the arch is always so high that it make my feet ache after wearing them for just a short time. I had nearly given up, when my husband encouraged me to check Zappos for something that might work. After reading the reviews, I decided to try the Tyka Sport Walker Advance. I'd read in ther eviews that they tend to run a little small, so I ordered the next 1/2 size up, and they' fine. I knew I could return them for no charge, so I ordered them, and am I delighted!! These shoes are so comfortable and cute! It's a miracle! I actually forget about my feet when I am wearing these, which means there is absolutely no discomfort, only good support and my feet feel great. Thank you, Zappos, for a terrific selection of shoes, for super-fast shipping, for free returns, if they don't work, and for your 365-day return policy! You're great, and so are the shoes!

Erratic sizing on Rykas because usually a 7 1/2 fits me. Even another pair of 7 1/2 Rykas in the same order fit, but these were too small.

A lightweight shoe, comfortable. Looks good on, colors just right, not overpowering the white.

I have been a fan of Ryka shoes for decades. They are almost impossible to find in the stores anymore. This was my first online order and I was nervous to do so. Of course I love the shoes. I an using them for every day wear. They are exactly as described and pictures on the Zappos website. The shipping was super fast and everything was packaged nicely. I highly recommend these shoes and Zappos.

Excellent service! Needed to send my first pair back for a smaller size. No hassle with return, a very friendly customer service gal told me everything I needed - emailed me a prepaid shipping tag for UPS. They also sent the new pair on a free "next-day mail". I liked the fit so well, I ordered another pair in a different color. I had ordered the size according to what a 4 or 5 year old pair of Ryka shoes that had been discontinued. I will definitely do more shopping here!

I have worn Ryka shoes for years now and this pair is right up there with the rest that I have owned. I realized that I should buy a half size larger and they are totally comfortable. I like the pink dots that are reminiscent of the breast cancer campaign.

Love these sports shoes for dog walking and generally wearing all the tome. The bbrand was recommended by a friend and I immediately looked for a pair. They have a "rocker" bottom, that has seemed to help with a shin splint problem I was developing from walking on hilly streets in my new neighborhood, or at least it seems to have helped.
