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've actually bought these shoes before in a different color than like them so much that I got them in blue.

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!

Love the shoes! They are very comfy on my very wide feet and that includes a big bunion. Attractive design, size fit perfectly. Removable foot bed so I can add my orthotics. A winner!

I love these shoes! This is my second pair. The support I get at work on my feet all day is like I'm walking on pillows!

After trying many these fit like a glove, I have a bad knee and needed support these supplied it. I can walk with no pain when I have them on, I will probably purchase another pair.

As with the other 2 pairs of Devotion Plus 2, my 3rd pair was comfortable just out of the box. I walk many miles a day and these walking shoes are heaven!

The original is the best if the Devotion line, with great padding at the ball of the foot and good arch support. I can walk in these forever, nothing else like them!!

I was hesitant to buy a pair of walking shoes without trying them on. Usually, I’d buy a pair of shoes online and have to return them immediately upon receipt. These shoes are amazing! They are the first pair of shoes that don’t attempt to correct my step or gait. I have very high arches and a long stride for a short girl. Where other shoes have tried to push my ankles outward or inward, these just let me walk naturally and comfortably. I walked ten miles the first time I put them on and now don’t want to wear any other shoes. I’ll be buying more of these.

I really liked these shoes, felt true to size and good arch support, good cushioning, comfortable all day right out of the box! About my 5th pair of these over the years. Hope they update the colors, but never stop making it. I would have ordered a 10.5 wide shoe instead of medium, but it wasn't available.
I'd also recommend:
Ryka is my brand, most comfortable. Tried many others a year ago, none with as good of cushioning.

I've been wearing these all day with absolutely no issues. I have severe achilles tendinitis & some plantar fasciitis in my right foot, I've been obsessed with finding a shoe that does not hurt & I couldn't be more pleased with this shoe!. I think everything about the fit of this shoe is perfect. Yay! I think I might buy another pair so I have a spare in case they disappear.

I was afraid that these were going to be a little snug in the instep, but after just a few minutes, they felt fine. Better than fine. I wore them all day and didn't want to take them off. These are my new favorite shoes.

Fantastic cushy, supportive, lightweight sneaker; I reordered an identical pair after the first pair wore out. Just be aware: this style runs SMALL! I take a 9, and in these, I need a 10.

Only shoes I wear for work. I work 12 hour shifts on a skilled nursing unit, on which I am the only aide. I walk/run an average of 6 miles a day, often supporting my wieght plus that if another. These wear down quick but they're top notch when they're new. Saving my knees, back & feet from days of residual pain.

Loved these shoes for Jazzercise but after 1 month the triangles on the bottom of the shoes are pulling off the sole. Several women in our class ordered these shoes but I have seen two of them fall because of this problem. I will NOT order them again and that is too bad because they are so comfortable.

I bought these shoes at the last minute before a trip to Europe and it was a great decision. I have problems with my forefoot and arthritis in my big toes so I was worried about the fit, but there was no breaking in period whatsoever! They have excellent shock absorption and pillow soft cushioning. I love that it stays firm on my heel without crunching my toes and that the ankle and tongue are also padded. I usually wear a size 8 in athletic shoes so that is what I ordered and it felt true to size. It fit great and I would definitely buy this again!

This is a great shoe if you need a wide toe box and at the same time a normal heel space. Often Wide width shoes are way too wide in the heel and flop off my feet. I ordered a 9W but had to exchange them for a 9 1/2W which fits perfectly. I suffer from a Morton's Neuroma so I need enough space for the ball of my foot and my toes to spread out. And the shoes are very attractive, light weight, and give good cushioning.

I am always looking for a shoe with a roomy toe box and this shoe has it! Not only that, but it feels like you are walking on pillows and it's cute..what more could you ask for? I had been wearing Asics Gels, but I am replacing them with the Ryka Devotion.

I've had surgery on one foot and it has become increasingly difficult to find a shoe that is soft on my sensitive heel and arch problem. Right out of the box, this shoe walked me through Europe without any complications. Great for people with wide feet and who like a soft ride. Zappos really is so great about their policy for returns, because it took me quite a few tries before trying this Ryka. Thank you Zappos!

I have loved Rykas for years but stopped buying them when I took up tennis 10 years ago. Ryka does not sell a shoes specifically for tennis & I thought I needed a tennis shoe to be safe, comfortable & durable. However, I have a very hard time finding a comfortable tennis shoe lately so gave Ryka a try again. I found this style to be excellent for tennis even in the durability department. We play on hard courts at least 8 hours a week so the soles do start wearing down at 3 months but are still in great shape for shopping, and all other activities. Also, I have a pretty decent sized bunion on my left foot but the mesh seems to work well with that problem so both feet are comfortable. Just love them but had hoped I would be able to get them with less color this time. However, would have gladly bought 2 pair if I could have gotten a pair with blue & a pair with green in my size but both options were out in my size.
