I have used another brand of walking shoe for many years. It was time to replace my latest pair, but couldn't find any that seemed right. Decided to try Ryka. Bought a half size larger to accommodate thicker athletic socks. Perfect fit! They were comfortable on the first wear!! Thank you for a great shoe.

Finding 10 1/2 W shoes is nearly impossible. For years I have settled for wearing men's athletic shoes and women's shoes that lack style and comfort. Thank goodness I discovered Ryka! My first purchase which was for walking shoes has exceeded my expectations. They fit perfectly and are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had on my feet. I would like to see more of your shoes offered in this size.

I love these walking shoes. I often walk 2-3 miles each morning and I was excited to try out my new shoes. Loved them!! Comfortable and supportive. And love the look and color!

When Ryka Devotion was restocked in my size (6.5 w) I bought 3 in different colors. However, the black/violet/detox blue was slightly smaller than the chrome silver/blue/orange and the chrome silver/lime/atomic pink, which were comfortable right out of the box and great for walking. I am keeping the black as I think they will stretch out as I wear them. Too bad all the colors are not exactly the same! I love Ryka Devotion and hope this shoe will continue to be available. As always, Zappos gave great service and shipped them really fast.

I really like this model: enough cushions around the feet & felt comfortable & the most I like is the extra 8 padding of rubber soles.One suggestion: you might design more colorful such as pink/peach, green or light blue for the entire body of the shoes because these colors look energetic. As this model the majority color is grey with combination of a different color on the soles & laces only. I am glad I try Ryka shoes; finally I find a comfortable shoes as I am on my feet about 11 hours a day on the job.

I am an ex distance runner who has had to turn to walking since my 60 year old knees are filled with arthritis. I have been search for a pair of shoes with enough support and that fit well to accommodate my needs so that I can walk longer than 3 miles. These shoes are it!! Comfortable, the heel sits nicely on my foot and they give me support for hours!
the only thing I wish is that They weren't sold out in my sixze in white, cause I would have bought 2 pairs!!!

I contacted Ryka for a recommendation for walking sneakers for someone with flat feet (me!). They recommended this shoe, and they are correct. It was very comfortable from the first time I put it on, and I was able to walk a couple of miles without my legs getting tired, which is what I was trying to avoid.
But the star in all this is Zappo's -- I had to try on three different sizes to find the right one. Zappos quickly shipped me each size as I asked, and is taking back the ones I don't want. But I am buying another pair just in case Ryka decides to change this shoe.

I was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and it has been particularly bad in my feet and toes. This pair is one of only two pairs of athletic shoes that work for me right now. Here's a list of qualities I like about them:
- Wide toe box that doesn't squeeze my feet, which tend to swell at the widest part
- Cushioned sole that doesn't hurt my toes and forefoot, which are the most tender parts of my feet
- Arch that support doesn't hit my forefoot (I have extremely high arches, so I either don't feel a support at all, or it hits in the wrong place and hurts my forefoot. BTW, don't pay attention to my arch support rating - I often can't feel it, even if there's a lot of support)
- Long enough laces that I can significantly loosen the shoes around my swollen feet
- Fashionable/normal-looking for a 26 year old to wear (they don't look like my grandmother's orthopedic shoes)
I got two color schemes: Frost Gray/Metallic Steel Gray/Coral and Chrome Silver/Nirvana Blue/Tang. The pink fabric inside the shoe and the laces for the Frost Gray/Metallic Steel Gray/Coral are A LOT brighter than they look online, so they make more of bold statement than I intended. The Chrome Silver/Nirvana Blue/Tang scheme looks like it does online and goes with a lot of different outfits in my wardrobe.
Overall, very comfortable for arthritic feet.

BEWARE: Ryka has a few different shoes called "Devotion". Make sure you get the ones with RE-ZORB RESPONSIVE CUSHIONING. I have severe arthritis in both knees and these are the only shoes I can wear. I do not run in them, but I walk and bike. I went through 6 other brands of shoes - none gave the comfort of this shoe. I do wish it was slightly wider (I bought a half size up and Wide width).
I was very confused by the other "Devotion" shoe - it is light weight, has a flimsy tongue, not much cushioning and not much support. I don't know how to tell the difference when ordering, but the RE-ZORB is something to look for.

I love these shoes!! Second pair within a month. I first purchased water aerobic shoes and was amazed they fit so well.
So I purchased these walking shoes. They fit me great too!!

This is a great shoe for me. I have multiple foot problems and it has been challenging to find a shoe that works for me. My biggest fear is that Ryka will stop making this shoe. I have tried 5 different Ryka shoes and this is the one that works for me.

I have tried many different Ryka styles (I need a wide width and Ryka fills that need), and I keep going back to the Devotion for daily walking. They are SO comfortable while providing good support. The only drawback is I feel the soles wear out before the shoe does.

The purchase of the shoe was perfect. It is comfortable, feel excellent, the color went with all my outfits. It even felt comfortable while driving. I drove to So Carolina. I would but them again in another color.

These fit well and are very comfortable. There is a nice cushion tha gives a bounce to my step and look very nice. I have worn them on the treadmill and on long walks outside. I would buy Ryka again.

I love these shoes for walking on all sorts of trails and surfaces. I have purchased them previously and have loved everything about them. I wish the color combination were softer and not so bright. that is why I choose another style this time.

Looking for a sole that would keep my feet cushioned on the pavement while walking for have a stone bruise from my last pair. These did the trick so will buy another pair.
