Customer Reviews Ryka Devotion

I was looking for a shoe for an MMA style class at the gym. I have plantar fasciitis so most lower profile shoes (that make the moves easier) don't provide enough support. These offer great cushioning and enough support that I can get through all the jumps without much pain or flare ups. They are not my favorite for other activities like long walks, as I believe the cushioning which helps in the class, is too soft for my foot which is used to the feeling of harder orthotics. Which is a shame because I like their overall style, and for my foot that has no problems they feel like walking on a cloud, and want to wear them far more often than to the gym. Sizing in length and width was consistent with other athletic shoes (I always size up for athletic shoes). Finding a shoe that offered the right combination of support, cushioning in a slimmer package makes me very happy and I highly recommend these!

I wanted a good shoe for step aerobics: stable, non-skidding, but not too bulky so they don't catch on the step. I also needed to wear an orthotic in the shoe. Normally, to accommodate orthotic I go up half size. In this case my normal size (9) worked better. The shoe is a tad loose in the heel for me but I have narrow heels. Still, they're terrific.

I'm wearing my shoes for a Jazzercise class. I love them! They offer the support and stability I need plus they look good. I ordered the same size I use for running shoes.

I am ordering my fifth pair. I do Zumba, and jazzercise, and these give enough padding at the ball of my foot to keep me going. Anyone who works out over five times a week knows all shoes will flatten out between three and six months. I am getting close to six months out of these. I suppose any shoes are walking shoes. But these are best for high impact aerobics. I hope that Ryka does not discontinue these shoes as Ryka is always discontinuing great shoes - remember Enhance? I loved those.

I was looking for a shoe for Zumba/BodyJam class and mistakenly ordered these. When they arrived, the first thing that I noticed was that the box lists them as walking shoes. I walked around on my carpet in these and it felt like I was walking on air. So comfortable. If only I needed walking shoes! I recommended them to my mother instead, who walks about 5 miles per day. FYI these also felt very high off the ground for fitness class and I could see getting annoyed by the center diamond platform thing under the ball of the foot.

My foot is 10 AAA, high arch, plus pronation. I bought my first pair of Devotion over a year ago. After trying on 6 pairs of other sneakers (thanks Zappos!) I found that this sneaker is still available. This shoe is comfortable out of the box and does not require any breaking in. It has a removable inner sole, which is great for my high arch inserts.

These shoes are great! Comfortable and nice looking. I would highly recommend them. I had to send my first pair back to get a half size larger than my usual size. That did the trick. No break-in period needed.

I jazzercise 4x/week and get new shoes every 6 months...I still wear the "old" shoes casually. These shoes offer very good support and traction. I have high arches and these shoes fit me well.

Look great; fit well, are comfortable, and have good arch support. I am happy with my purchase - these are my gym workout shoes.

I love these shoes! I need toe space and wide shoes are nearly impossible to find in stores. I'll be ordering from Zappos again.

These are amazing for Tracy Anderson Cardios. I put my own arch supports in after taking out the insoles. I love the wide foot and wear them barefoot. I have two pairs.
