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!

I bought two pairs of sneakers, same size, but different styles. This one is too short and the collar in the rear of the sneaker seems to fall low on my heel. Sorry, but I have to return this pair.

Ryka makes wide shoes for women. I have bunions and need the width. Also, I have a narrow heel. In addition, I like this shoe because it has a T-Strip of vinyl running from mid-toe to the beginning of the shoelaces. This reinforces the toe area, which other shoes lack. Lack of that reinforcement hurts the top of my toe area, because, with flexion, the mesh bends and puts pressure on my foot in that area. Ryka discontinued another shoe that was reinforced with a vinyl meshwork. Devotion is the only Ryka shoe that has this support. I have this shoe in all 3 colors.

I don't know why but this particular color combo needs to be half size larger. Could have saved myself some grief if I had checked the correct box first! Love these shoes, they support my arches, relieve my plantar fascia in one foot, tendonitis in the other. Can't say enough how great the Devotion line is!

Got a size 9 which is what I usually wear but they felt a little loose. Also they make my feet look huge! But I like the mesh, much lighter than my Dash 3's.

I really love Ryka brand, but the gray with pink and orange was much more "electric" looking than I wanted. Not to worry, I bought another Ryka shoe with more muted tones and it is perfect.

This review is for Ryka Devotion.
I bought the aqua and orange pair, and I just loved them. They felt good on my feet, fit right, and felt good to walk it. If you have trouble with heels slipping as I do, I recommend this shoe because it has an extra hole for the shoe string that will snug up the hell and prevent it from slipping.
Con: The only problem I had with this shoe was the sole. It is molded so that there are various sized surfaces that touch the floor or road. Each of those surfaces have a piece of rubber that is glue to it. Over time, these pieces come off. Having said that, other than the way it looked, they seemed to still feel ok to walk in, and I wore these shoes out!

Fit was awesome. This pair was up to the standards I expect from Ryka. The only drawback was that the shoelaces were too short to tie even after I re-laced the shoes. Wish they would bring back solid leather shoes, as these are cold in the winter.

This shoe is so comfortable, lots of padding. However, the 8W was too narrow even though the length was perfect. Had to reluctantly send back.
