Fabulous shoe for Tracy Anderson Dance Cardio. Cushy, springy, low enough for jumping jacks, and great arch support.

Have bought two pr of this shoe. a wonderfully comfortable shoe but, the first pair I bought at the end of Oct. are now pulling apart on the sole, at the instep. Will try to see if Ryka will make good on this shoe falling apart in only two months of wear! Disappointed in Ryka...

I typically go up a full size in an athletic shoe because I replace the insert with my orthotic. After reading the reviews, I decided to stick with that practice. I am a 9 in regular shoes, so ordered the 10. I tried the 9.5 but didn't have that thumb's width that is recommended for most athletic shoes. The shoe rocks! I felt like I was jumping on clouds. If I wasn't a pronator, and didn't have knee issues I wouldn't insert my orthotic. However, for those who don't need them, this style has great arch support.

The most comfortable shoes ever. I had read an article naming these as very comfortable, so I found them at Zappos and decided to give them a try. So glad I did. For people with a very high arch as myself, you may still need an insert like superfeet if you walk a lot. But they are like walking on a cloud. The fit - I wear a 7 and I bought a 7 and it was right on. There is also plenty of room in the toe area. I have tried so many different shoes to wear while I walk on my treadmill and I finally have a pair I am happy with. I would like to say also, that Zappos is a great company that I just discovered and will continue to shop online with.

Wow! After nine, yes, nine orders over the last year, I finally found an incredibly comfortable pair of shoes! They are awesome. I know they'll be great for step aerobics or just mowing the lawn. Thanks Zappos for your patience.

I did a ton of research and sneaker trials as I'm an avid walker. I walk about 6 miles a day. First time wearing Ryka and I'm loving them. My feet never feel tired, no blisters which I'm common to and air out well.

Generous toe box is one of my favorite things about Ryka, that and the narrower heel to prevent slipping. It has good cushioning in the heel area. It's a pretty good shoe for the price. I enjoy walking in the them.

I work out 5X/week, have bunions, and a Morton's neuroma on the pad of my left foot. I usually buy inserts to protect my feet. So, shoe comfort is extremely important to me! I will never buy another brand of fitness shoes again! This is my first time buying Ryka and I'll buy again and again. Bonus that they are also super cute.

What a terrific shoe. Like walking on tempur-pedic foam. Good support since I'm a supinator. I can even run! in these shoes and it doesn't shock my knees! I will order another pair today! Wish there were more color combos to choose from.

Had to return, way too short and tight in size 9.5. Have another style of Ryka and love them, true fit and great arch support, these just didn't work for me. However, I would highly recommend the brand.

I walk 6 days a week and have tried other name brands of sneakers but always return to Ryka and always recommend Ryka. I have been wearing Ryka walking sneakers for a long time and this pair is the best! They fit properly, their light in weight and it's like walking on air.

Bought these for my mom. She has bad knees from years of competitive tennis, and arthritis in her feet. She said they are like walking on a cloud. After continued wearing, they haven't broken down like other shoes in the past either. She said they are the best she has ever worn, and she's a tough customer!

These shoes are awesome. I bought them just before a vacation that I knew would involve lots of walking, including a couple of days at Disney World. They feel super cushy, never rubbed me the wrong way, and are very flexible. I had read that these ran a bit small, so I ordered an 8 and an 8.5 (I usually wear a 7.5-8). The 8s felt great so I would say they run true to size.

I have always enjoyed Ryka sneakers but need to remember that they run about a half size smaller than other brands.

This is my second pair of Ryka cross trainers after years of being an Asics devotee. The cushioning, comfort, support and stability is outstanding. You had actually feel the rebound in the sole. These are great for the treadmill, elliptical and classes.

These shoes are by far the best fitness shoes I have owned. I have worked out my entire life and have worn multiple different types of shoes. I was looking for a fitness shoe, but I feel that cross-trainers are always so bulky. These are supportive, but have more of a running shoe look. The sole is also incredible...so comfortable! I wish I could wear them all the time!

This is my third pair of these. I have arthritis in one ankle and the comfort and cushioning of these shoes make them a dream to walk in. One thing I do not like is the sole does not seem to last as long as other shoes, but due to the comfort I buy them anyway just wish they lasted longer.

These shoes are so comfortable! I thought that they were those toning sneakers because the cushions on the soles are so bouncy. They are perfect for walking. They are a bit narrow. But I have really wide feet. So quick, lateral movements are not the best for these.

LOVED these shoes...but have only had 8 months and they are already falling apart. Hole through back heel area and canvas coming unglued from sole. Disappointed!

I had to exchange and go down half size. They are very comfortably with great support. I am on my feet 9 hrs a day and these work well.

If you have any issues with hips, bunions or arthritis then this is the shoe for you. Devotion is very comfortable. It hugs your foot and the Re-sorb cushioned sole makes you want to walk forever. I wore them right out of the box so there is no break in period. This is my second pair of Devotion, although I have several other Ryk styles. My first pair is five years old and still in good shape.

I bought 4 different pairs of workout shoes to test for working out in my home gym (which is carpeted). Of the 4 pairs I ordered, they were all Ryka brand since those seemed to have the best reviews for the type of workouts I wanted to do, which is kickboxing and general weight lifting/rowing. I needed shoes that had great arch and side of the foot support, but were lightweight, and didn't have too much tread on the bottom so I could move without getting tripped up on the carpet. Well, as others have said, these shoes did not disappoint! They fit perfectly: the toe box is wide enough but not so wide that your foot slips forward, they are narrow enough to keep the foot in place in just the right spots, the sides have great support without digging into the ankle bone when doing side lunges, the arch support is just right, and they're lightweight with just enough tread. I just hope Ryka keeps making this style exactly as it is for a long time to come because I think I've found my perfect workout shoe!
