The toe box is ample ( I usually buy men sneakers to get the width) nice colors. The cushioning is sweet!

Comfortable shoe, nice wide toe bed. Not 100% sure about the foam support yet.

Love the shoes; the fit is great, and they are comfortable for my messed up feet.. Good styling, but the thin plastic overlay trim on part of the shoe started to come loose the first time I wore them. Trying to glue it, to no avail.

Great walking sneaker! First time trying Ryka and I'm a convert. I did get to try a newer model on in a store and decided to bump up 1/2 size - as I saw later, many reviewers suggested. Still debating if I really needed to (feels roomier in this older model), but they are keepers !

I'm happy with them although I found that they were a little narrow so I had to send them back and get wide. Otherwise I liked them.

This is my third pair of Ryka Devotion sneakers. And probably my 7th pair of Rykas altogether. I am glad to see they come in wide, as the regular has always been a bit too narrow. Even the wide isn't as wide as other companies' wide. I love the comfort of these sneakers. My feet can be ornery, but the Rykas seem to be pretty neutral in terms of discomfort.
If I could ask the Ryka good fairy for a wish, it would be for a pair of Devotions in a material that is not the "breathable mesh" they use for everything, but rather, a fabric that would be warmer for those of us who live in colder climates. I am not looking for boots, I have a nice pair of those. But I just seek a warmer pair of sneakers with that nice comfortable sole and the ReZorb insert (the memory foams do nothing for me).

This is a shoe that has stood the test of time -- good for my daily walks and some training.

These are really a nice change from the all white ones that I normally get. Usually get New Balance or Asics, this is my first pair of Ryka. Have only worn them a couple times so far, but so far good. Overall seem good. They are a little narrow and the sole seems different. I usually wear out the sole first, so that is what I am really hoping holds up.

I've only worn them a little while so far. My knees are bad so it takes me a while to get comfortable in shoes. I really do like how they look. I'm sure with a bit more time ill love them!!

As always, Rykas do not disappoint. Very comfy shoe and great color. I bought them for power walking. I am used to higher ankles so I feel like they slip a bit but I double my no-show socks and the are fine.

The arch support in these shoes is great...The medium/wide width is great! I do wish there was another option for the same support, but with softer fabric and made to be similarly subtle as these shoes are in decoration. A classy softer version would be great, BUT with a black sole and very subtle aesthetic color designs would be a nice option to have for less casual purposes.

These are usually great shoes. I ran into a problem with the left shoe only and I believe the shoes was defective. I just reordered two more pairs. I only buy this shoe as it always works for me so this was a one off.

Comfortable from the start, very supportive and easily accommodates orthotic inserts. Get lots of compliments on the style. My only negative is that the soles wear down faster than expected.

These tend to run small. I normally wear a 9 wide. After reading other reviews, I ordered a 9.5 wide. These were still a touch too short, I should have ordered a size 10. Order a full size larger.

I just bought them, but so far I like them. They’re replacing some old walking shoes that were falling apart.

These shoes are a good fit However after wearing them for hours and being on my feet all day my feet hurt so bad that I can't wait to get home and get them off.

Fit is great, comfortable, well made and stylish. My only complaint is that they are a bit slippery on the gym floor. I teach general exercise and find my feet slipping during lunges, staggered stances, split squats, etc. Never had this problem with the older model Devotion Plus.

I purchased these shoes in the size recommended base off of their size chart. (Printed and measured exactly) I was easily an 8.5 Wide. When they arrived I could immediately tell they were NOT wide. Customers service over the phone was great and I decided to go to a 9 W instead just to see. It isn't as tight and I'll keep them but they definitely still are not wide like past Ryka shoes I've purchased. They are super comfy though everywhere else. Not sure how breathable the fabric is though so we'll see on a hot summer day. It's dead winter here so time will tell.

This is my 3rd pair of Rykas: the fit and comfort is excellent and I love being a part of a women owned company. However, I want to echo another customer review that the soles wear out way too quickly! Please find a fix for this problem so I don't have to buy another brand of shoes.

I really love the pillow-like feel of these shoes. I have had plantar fasciitis but the well-known brand and style recommended by my physical therapist makes my feet hurt. These do not. The 2 reasons I gave a 4 instead of a 5 are that there is little to no ankle support and I have also broken my ankle twice. The cut out beside the ankle doesn't help any. Sometimes I walk in the evening becuz our days are so hot but I can't wear these for fear of turning my ankle on something. The other reason seems to be a quality control issue. The tongue of the left shoe is 3.5 inches longer than that of the right shoe. It looks ridiculous and I have to fold it under which is not comfortable. Wish you would address these issues.

I really love the look of these sneakers, I get complements on them. They are very comfortable and I always buy Ryka's because of the fit. I take a 7W. However, these were a bit tight for a W width. I have a great shoe stretcher so I found myself having to stretch the length as well as the width. After being on the stretcher for a week they were fine.

I've worn several pairs of Ryka shoes. Supportive yet cushy. The soles are built just right to spread the pressure over the ball of my foot. Comfortable all day. Only one negative, I walk on the rough pavement of a country road and the tread doesn't hold up very long. Still a great shoe!

I have worn this model shoe for years. This is the first time I am not thrilled with how they feel. The cushioning is not like it was- I can now feel the shapes of the pads on the sole of the shoe. Feels like they’ve either cut back on the cushioning or have used an inferior cushioning. I swapped out the insoles for a thicker, more comfortable type, and now they feel much better, though not as good as they used to. They still LOOK great!
