Most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. Due to structural issues with my feet, I put in a SuperFeet green insert. Went for a 2 hour walk with a friend and came back without the usual blisters and/or soreness. I felt like I could've walked 2 hours more. That's coming from someone who isn't a frequent walker. Now that I've found these shoes, I'm actually looking forward to getting outside more for those long walks. They do run a bit small - half size or so. I've only had them for a month or so so I'm not able to give accurate info on durability. Highly recommend this shoe.

I have tried two Ryka styles, Brooks Ghost, and the Spira Stinger looking for a great cushioned shoe with extra bounce for aerobics classes. These are the BEST. I need extra cushion under the ball of my foot for step class and my older knees appreciate the extra cushioning too. I bought two pair because I like them so well!

GREAT Shoe -- I have 2 other types of Ryka shoes and these are my favorite. They have the support for a hard workout and the cushioning needed by women over a certain age due to loss of foot padding! They are a combo of their "Influence" support and "Ambition" cushioning. Would love more colors.

I am always trying new shoes that let my feet make it through a long day working on concrete floors. I used to wear Rykas back in the early 2000's for step aerobics and liked them. I ran across these and cannot believe how great these feel. I am getting ready to order another pair so I can alternate them out.

Great cushioned shoe. I wore it last week to run a half marathon. Shoe was just fine for that distance. I really need a 10.5, but, for some reason this company stops making half sizes at 10. I wear a 9 in street shoes and run in 10.5. It is a bit too long, but, a great cushioned ride. Would recommend for running.

These fit great. There is plenty of room for my toes which I need due to issues with Morton's Neuroma. There is excellent padding. They are perfect for gym activities such as Zumba.

I have worn Ryka’s athletic and suede shoes for years, but the Devotion shoe is by far Ryka’s best effort yet! The cushioning in these shoes can only be compared to pillows. I would happily wear them all the time. I also wear Ryka Dash and an Assist XT, which you cannot get any more. All are a good fit for women with narrow ankles, but Devotion has the most appropriate name!

I love these shoes for my step classes. I've just ordered my 4th pair. The curved bottom gives extra cushion to the ball of my foot and prevents too much pressure on the sesamoid bone (underside of the big toe). I am a size 10, and have a narrow heel which makes shoe fit difficult. I order a size 11 and they fit perfectly. So, if the ball of your foot is tender and you have strong ankles to stabilize yourself, these are the shoes for you.

Hello! I am in love with my new Rykas- they have awesome support, creating a true bounce in my step. The color is an intense orange, but so what! They feel great. Love 'em.

Love the Devotion! I actually have the orange and white pair and wanted another pair. Ordered the same size but realized I should have ordered a half size up in both.

As an avid stepper and HITT fanatic born with incredibly wide feet, Ryka keeps me pretty happy. The shoe is lightweight and most of all, the forefoot cushioning is superior. For those where this is crucial, know that the lateral stability is not top notch; it feels somewhat wobbly if you go all out on things like skater jumps.

They just arrived and are like walking on clouds! Even more than my Saucony's. I followed the other reviews and ordered a 1/2 size up and they are huge. Going to order my regular size and pray they fit. These are cute and comfy!

Use this shoe for cross training at the gym. Very comfortable. Plenty of room for my toes. Ordered a half size larger than my normal street shoes. Perfect.

Love these shoes. My first pair is like new and I use them for indoor workouts. I got a second pair to run in at agility trials. The cushioning and support are luxurious, the fit is great. They're sleek-the soles are not flared out like running shoes - and they're very light-weight.

These tennis shoes are so comfy! I bought them specifically for Zumba and they are so perfect! Lots of padding for jumping up and down. With in the toes space, but narrower in the heel...perfect for women!

These are one of the best overall shoes for comfort, support and fit that I have ever worn. I have extreme problems with my feet and these are a godsend. For people with support problems I would highly recommend.

Having worn Ryka in previous years and needing a replacement for the Ryka Assist XL, I went with the Ryka Devotion. So glad I did! It is super lightweight, good lateral movement, and it gives me lots of spring in my step! The deep grooves give good traction and probably won't tear away, as the sole of my XL sneakers did. I found the shoes to be true to size. Just perfect for my aerobic step workouts.

Have been a fan of Ryka for sometime. This shoe is very comfortable and fits well. I need to replace the insole with my orthotic so can't comment on arch support of shoe alone. It was my first experience with Zappos and I was very pleased.

These are quite simply the most comfortable tennis shoes I have ever tried on. The cushioning in the footbed is incredible, like walking on clouds. Yet they are not bulky, and they have a nice streamlined appearance. I also bought my mom a pair, and she loves them too.

I wear these shoes 5-6 times a week at Jazzercise. They are the most comfortable I have ever worn. They are very light yet supportive.

I can't describe how cushioned these shoes are. I am amazed. It is the first time I have bought this brand, but it won't be the last! I've always worn the same 2 brands for running or walking, and they have never been as comfortable as the Ryka Devotion. They look really cute too! I am devoted! Highly recommend!

I have been around awhile and have tried many a walking shoes and this by far is the best shoe ever made. You feel like you are walking on air. Love the cushy feel and the great support. I would recommend this shoe to everyone, in fact I have.

I had purchased these over a year ago and when I went back to make another purchase they were no longer available. Thanks, Zappos, for getting them back. I have tried so many shoes and had returned them all both to a store and to Zappos. Finally I had read a review in a magazine about these and decided to try them. I put them on and that was that. They fit and were like walking on air. I have never had that happen before. If you have wide feet, be careful, as I think they run narrow. Also if you need good arch support like myself, try adding Superfeet inserts to your order (I use the green ones). This will be more than enough support for even the highest arches. My last pair lasted over a year - yes they were worn but not falling apart. I am so glad to be able to get these back and I will be buying more than one pair this time.
