Customer Reviews Ryka Sport Walker advance™

I am reveiwing Zappos and not the product. The product is fine, but the service from Zappos is superior. I ordered these shoes three days before a trip to France. They came next day, were too small. Zappos had a new pair to me the day after and before I returned the smaller pair. Zappos provided excellent service like no other. This will keep me shopping at Zappos!

I like this shoe because it feels really lightweight and it very comfortable. My only criticism is that it could use more cushioning on the sole, the padding feels really thin. The fit is fine.

Good support, nice light blue color (stripes). A bit clunky, but supportive. I bought a half size larger than my size to accommodate orthotics, and have a little extra room in the front, but not bad. Great service from Zappos. I ordered on a Saturday afternoon, and received the shoes on Monday.

These are cute and very comfy walking sneakers. However, after just two months of use, they are breaking down. The threads are hanging off and there is already a tear along a seam. I would have recommended these in the first few weeks of use; but I am disappointed in their longevity.

Extremely comfortable but little support. The heel cushioning could go up a bit higher, I find it feels as though my shoe is coming off.

I agree with Michigan. Good for everyday use. Not good for serious walker. I bought for walking. Have to buy another brand for walking.

I used to adore Ryka shoes for walking. But this obsession they have with redesigning everything with breathable mesh ruins them all for me. Who wants the wind whistling through around their feet when it's 20 degrees?

Not worth the price; I wore these once and my foot actually hurt. There doesn't seem to be enough cushioning to these sneakers. Sending them back.

I am disappointed in these shoes. Usually Rykas fit me well, but this pair are too wide and a tiny bit too short. They also appear cheap. The quality is less than previous pairs.

This is the best money that I have spent in a long time. It is my first pair of Rykas and I am seriously impressed. I was hoping for moderately acceptable walking shoes and this model has exceeded my expectations in fit, weight, support, comfort, and price! Somehow, they are light and comfortable, while feeling substantial. I wear a size 10, have wide feet with stubby toes and pronate markedly. It remains to be seen how they wear over the miles to come, but if they feel this good after a week, I am ordering another pair! The image led me to believe that shoes might be a light gray (though the description does say white) but they are true white with some silvery reflective trim that is not over the top. The soles have a subtle downward arch, designed to roll the feet forward in a natural stride and they feel very well-balanced and comfortable. There is nothing gimmicky like air or fluid pockets in the heel that collapse. My first impression is that they are very good, solid walker's shoes for an excellent price.

Great, comfortable, lightweight sneakers for mild exercise and everyday walking/running errands. The color is neutral so I can wear them with just about any casual outfit. And they're very affordable for good quality sneakers.

The first time I wore these shoes I couldn't believe how comfortable they are. I walked all morning in a botanical garden and had no discomfort. These are the best walking shoes I've ever had.

The shoes felt so comfortable immediately! The first day I wore them I was in comfort all day long for 8 hours. Usually I must go through a break in period with most shoes I have purchased. My heel felt well supported which is important due to a plantar fasciitis I have. It did take reordering the same shoe size for this to occur which Zappos was happy to cooperate with.

I love these shoes. Best buy yet. I use to buy Ryka's all the time then started have a hard time finding them in size 12. The heel has a that spring that pushes you forward. Love!

Love these shoes, best walking shoes I've ever worn. Great cushion, feels like you're walking on air!

So happy to find Ryka walking shoes at Zappos.com at this price! Zappos ships quickly -- I had my new walking shoes in time for the weekend. Thank you for the speedy service!

My Zappos experience ordering on line gets an A+. In 3 days I had my Ryka's. They didn't fit, I printed free label, sent them back, their return policy allowed the new shoes to ship before the return, no extra charge. Those to didn't fit. Took 3 times all no charge in shipping or more than 1 pair I tried on shoes almost like in a department store. The customer service A+. I love Zappos and the shoe. I walk a lot around town, these are the most comfortable shoe I could find for the price.

Totally love my shoes. They never disappoint. I am an avid walker and I even bought these the day before a 26.2 marathon and did not break them in and they were perfect. Now that's a shoe!

Awesome shoe. I wear a 7.5 and they fit perfect. light weight, very comfortable, no break in time needed. Tons of mesh for keeping my feet cool. Looks great also.

I have always loved Ryka sport shoes because they fit women's feet better than Nike or Reebok. These shoes are light and comfortable, and there is no better place to buy shoes than ZAPPOS!

These are my distance walking shoes for rainy weather. I like other Rykas a bit better, as I think these feel a bit bulkier and larger (not really a half size larger but I get no other options to choose in this review!), but they still do the job. I would say they are just a wee bit larger than the other three Ryka styles I own. (But owning four pairs you can tell I'm sold on Ryka shoes... they know women's feet!)

Saw these shoes in a local store, but not in my size. I checked Zappos stock and they were available. I ordered and received them in just a few days. Love the fit and comfort plus the style of the shoes. Great summer shoe!

Great shoes. Like walking on air! Very supportive and supremely comfortable.

Shoe seems to run about a 1/2 size smaller. I consistently wear an 8 but had to buy 8.5 in this shoe. Also I overpronate and the shoe did not offer the support I needed. Otherwise very comfortable nice shoe.

It's a nice stylish shoe but it hurts my feet so I gave to my dear friend and she wears them now.
