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.

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.

This a new brand for me and I love the comfortable 'walking on a cloud' feeling. However, I am normally a size 10 and needed to go up a full size in this brand. I have never worn an 11 in my life! Beware. Worth the multiple returns however when they finally fit, dreamy shoe.

Very comfortable from day one. I had to order a 1/2 size larger and I would never call these "wide" in width. I walk about 4-5 miles per day and hope they will hold up.

Nice comfortable fit. Over-all nice style, though not my favorite Ryka Style. Excellent comfort and support. Really love the cushioning and the way the bottom of the Devotion is made for traction, buoyancy, and support. Already had this shoe in the orange color and loved it, so got it in pink when I saw it available. However, there is something ever so tiny of a difference in the pink shoe that just isn't as perfectly fitting, or handsome in looks. I know it's the same shoe, but something is just not the same and I still prefer the orange ones more.

I love these shoes as far as fit and comfort. They are probably the most comfortable walking shoe that I have ever had. They are light weight and fit my feet perfectly. The only drawback is that the soles wear out VERY fast. Walking is not my primary form of exercise. I normally do one 5 mile walk a week; occasionally two. I could understand this type of wear if I were a daily walker, but these should have lasted a year considering I only walk once a week. These didn't even last 6 months. Did I order them a second time? Yes, because of the fit and comfort. I was able to take advantage of a good sale so I didn't pay full price for them. The issue with the soles was a little more acceptable because of the price. I would not pay full price for them. I do have to mention that I think this is a problem with just about any brand of shoes these days. I have had shoes from two other brands that did the same thing. I hate to say it, but they don't make things they way they used to. I think most shoes are designed to wear out fast so we have to buy them again. Again, they are very comfortable and the fit is amazing. Just be aware of the soles wearing out too fast.

I love Ryka, but guess I need to stay with Devotion XT. These were cheaper and the toe box was narrower which made my big toe go numb.Sorry because they were attractive and made my size 11 look small.

I got them about a year ago maybe? They were super comfortable and still are if I didn't mind the smell. After 2-3 months, they began to smell like cat pee. They had gotten wet walking outside in the rain and after that, they smelled terrible. Washed them several times thinking it would help. At first, I thought it did as it only seemed to smell when the shoes were wet. Now, it is constant. I've also tried odor absorbers, setting in the sun/freezer etc - looked online and found it is a problem with the polyurethane in the sole releasing the smell. The fabric upper now smells great but you turn the shoe over and it is the sole that has that terrible ammonia smell. Very sad because my shoes still look and feel great because they were not worn long before I gave up trying to get the cat pee smell to go away. Nobody wants to smell like that. And now, I do not trust that other Ryka shoes will not have the same issue.

Finally, sneakers that fit me and are totally comfortable for lots of walking. Ryka is turning me into a sneaker head since I now have 5 pairs!

I basically live in these shoes; they're light as a feather and support my unstable ankles very well. These are good for just about anything: working out, chasing buses, standing in line, etc.

Shoe runs small but very comfortable. I'm keeping and hoping they stretch some to accommodate socks.
