Customer Reviews Ryka Devotion

I was so pleased that I ordered another pair!

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'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.

2nd time purchasing this sneaker plus have them in another color. They work for me and will keep purchasing as long as available.

These sneakers are true to size! Fits great and looks fantastic!! I have bought other Ryka and really liked them, but these are the BEST!!! I walk and go to the gym everyday and Ryka Devotion feel like I'm exercising on a cloud!! Very well made! I'm ordering another pair!

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.

I've worn Rykas one and off for years for Jazzercise, which has a lot of lateral moves, as well as front and back moves, skipping, lunges etc. I often found Rykas to be lightweight but lacking in cushioning. Not so with these. I love them. I wore them to class right out of the box and highly recommend them for any type of aerobic/dance workout. As for size, I wear a 4.5-5 in regular shoes, and a 5.5 in athletics shoes, but with Rykas I always need a 6.

These shoes are great! I love them! They are incredibly comfortable, supportive, stable, and breathable. I do not like working out, and these make me want to work out just so I can wear them. I am a true 8, but based on other reviews, I ordered both the 8 and the 8½, and I kept the 8½. I do not regret this purchase for a minute.

These are spectacularly comfortable shoes or are if like me you have wide toes and narrow heels! In which case you don't have to order a size larger than what you usually wear (though I occasionally do take a half size smaller than what I bought these in.) Plus they're good looking. But comfort is the main reason I love them; wearing them is like walking on air!

Length is good but width is definitely narrow. My feet are not very wide (I always wear the default medium width in every shoe). They are very tight right at the toe joint area and with a fitness shoe it would quickly become unbearable. I would try for the next half size up ... but worried the shoe would be too big where it would not start rubbing at the heel then. Bummer ... they are cute!

I started walking several miles a week due to the pandemic. I tried several different shoes, making good use of zappos’s Runlimited program. These Ryka Devotion shoes are great. The heel has so much cushioning I’ve never had any knee or shin discomfort. They fit so we’ll that my heel doesn’t slip or rub. From the first wearing on, I have not had a blister or discomfort from the lacing. Great all around for me!

I lost count of how many pairs of this walking shoe I have bought. I keep buying them because they are super comfortable right out of the box, with plenty of support, as I walk two miles everyday. My only negative comment is I wish the sole lasted longer. I have had this current pair two weeks, and there is already significant loss on the bottom of the sole.

I'm on my fourth pair of this model of Ryka. Good built-in cushion and when I use Vionic active orthodic inserts, I feel there's enough support. The shoe does not last as long as I'd like. The sole of my last pair started to crack. When I first started ordering this shoe I wore a 9.5, over time the sizing has changed and now I have to order a size 10.

Too narrow

All the Ryka reviews (for the styles I was looking at (...the sale ones)) said everything ran v big, and to order up to a full size down. I historically wear 9.5, though sometimes a 9...four pairs later, I ended up with these in 10. I dunno if Ryka did a sizing reboot, but in the end: comfy walking shoes, hooray!

Took 2 tries to get the right size. 1st time went 1/2 size up. Too short . Went up whole size and these fit great! Very comfortable with no need to break in period. Would recommend with caution about sizing.
