Customer Reviews Ryka Devotion

These are awesome! My feet were aching hours after putting my shoes on but now with these shoes my feet dont even hurt at the end of the day!

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! I have back problems and after walking around all day usually my feet are killing my and so is my back but these shoes have been so helpful. My feet no longer ache after walking around.

Good sneaker. Lasts pretty well. I use for walking and gym. Definitely needed 1/2 size larger.

I love these shoes. They are not only cute they fit me perfectly and are so comfortable. I think they are my third pair from Zappos.

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.

Very comfortable. I have wide feet with bunions and high arches. These shoes feel so Good! I walk 3 miles a day and feel no pain! Finally a good fit. I have worn Ascis for years, but could not find a good fit in that brand, any longer for some reason. These feel great.

Best sneakers I have EVER worn. I am athletic and have bunions on both feet. I wear these sneakers for Zumba and walking.
