Shoe is not as comfortable as the Ryka's I have purchased in the past.

I really DO like the Ryka shoes!! Having purchased the same shoes I had before I assumed they would be the same but these pronate to the inside of the feet.... Still comfortable. Would probably choose a different Ryka shoe next time.

This pair, although the same size as my previous ones, is noticeably wider in the toe box area and my foot does not feel secure.

I need to exchange my Ryka. They are too small, my toes hit the toe box.

The footbed is really comfortable.
The sizing seems off. I normally wear a 9. I can feel my toe almost touching, but sadly the 9.5 feels too big
Also, after 2 wears, one of the shoelace loops broke in the normal course of adjusting the tension of the laces. Such a bummer.

These are very comfortable but not durable. I have worn mine for less than a month (only on paved roads, for approximately 30 minutes per day) and they are already wearing down.

I bought these shoes at the beginning of quarantine (April 2020) as a comfortable walking shoe. They're the most comfortable walking shoe I've owned, and don't hurt my feet or give me shin splints. But they aren't long lasting AT ALL! One trip through the wash and they look terrible. They haven't held up well at all. I hate that these shoes last less than 6 months. I need another pair, just not sure I want to pay for this sort of quality.

Reflective application detached from the shoe the very first time I wore them. My heels also slip which has not happened before with any of my other Ryka walking or running shoes.

Seems like it would be a good shoe for the right foot type. I have a high instep and the shoe fit it well there as well as the length. They did not fit in the width though. While wide enough, my foot did not hit the contour toe portion properly, causing pain. Limited walking in house was painful due to toe not bending in proper area.

The fit was fine, a true 8 medium, and I liked the style overall. But the clear plastic strips made the shoes look cheap. I thought I might get used to the look, but I didn't. Had to return.

Some lack of quality control with these. Arch support for the right foot was about an inch and a half forward towards the toe than the left foot. I think if the material would have been in the right place it would have bee a very comfortable shoe. As far as style goes, lose the metallic sheen, makes the shoes look like they were made for a 5 yo girl.

I would rate the shoe as being ok but I'm a little disappointed in them. I have been wearing Ryka Devotion shoes for years but I feel that the quality has diminished and there have been inconsistencies in the shoes. I had to return the first two pairs that I ordered because of very noticeable arch differences. The arch in the left shoe was much higher than the arch in the right shoe, making it feel like there was a ball under my foot, so I returned them. The arches in the third pair I received were fine and I kept them. The fit of these shoes feels larger than my previous Ryka's. If I were to order again, I would go down from my normal 7 to 6 1/2. While the shoes are ok, they don't feel as cushioned as previous Devotions. I think it's time to find a different brand of walking shoe.

The colors are nice but the shoe itself was too bulky.

For years I've worn Ryka and Devotion but this pair was not up to par. They felt too short. I've always worn 9 in Devotion but this pair not only felt short but the toe box was narrow. I had to send them back.

I adore these shoes, but they have a fatal flaw. So first of all: they fit me perfectly (and I'm a 9W, so it's hard to find shoes that fit right), felt incredibly supportive, and were my favorite shoes ever to do Zumba in. The second I put them on I felt ready to go. In fact, I love them so much that I bought two pairs in the exact same style in the space of a year.
BUT. I've discovered that after a few months the rubber on the bottom starts to stink like vinegar or cat pee. When this happened with my first pair, I assumed my actual cat had actually peed in them and I washed them with baking soda, but it didn't work, so I wrote them off and bought a second pair. But then a few months later (after being very careful to always store them in the closet in a room the cat isn't allowed in), the same thing happened. It's not the sole or the fabric that stinks, mind you, just the rubber on the bottom. I ran the second pair through four or five washes and once let it soak for hours in oxyclean, to no avail. I'm so sad that I'll have to look for a new brand of shoe now--if these didn't have that one smelly flaw, they'd be perfect. I hope the manufacturer figures out what's going on (maybe the rubber breaks down or something after some use?) and fixes it so I can buy these again.

This was the 3rd shoe in this size to order. I usually wear 9.5 to 10 in a normal width. Even the 10 Wide was way too narrow, but a 10.5 to 11 would be too long.

Ordered the Devotion and the Influence, the Influence is going back. The memory foam insole and extra padding on the bottom of the shoes do absorb a lot of shock. It feels twice as cushioning as the Influence. The Devotion seems just a tad wider in the forefoot as well. For reference, I ordered a 5.5 wide. I could have used another quarter inch of width for my slight bunion but sadly, shoes in my size are hard to find so keeping the Devotion for the cushioning. FYI, the widest part of my foot is a smidge over 3.5 inches. If you plan on using a custom orthotic or insole, your heels might slip out a bit. Orthodics and inserts are usually thicker than the factory one so your foot will sit higher in the shoe. There is some arch support but it's between moderate and none.

I've been wearing Rykas for awhile and usually get a good fit, but I tried 3 different sizes of this style and even the wide shoes are too narrow. Unfortunately, these are going back. Thank you, Zappos for being so willing to let me try and return shoes! I hope you don't run out of patience with me!

I'm enjoying finding a shoe that fits and is comfortable..I wear Devo 2...with an orthotic. Very happy with this choice...the con is that the sole is wearing out faster than it should..I've had this pair for 8 months and needed to buy another, as the heel is wearing out.

The Devotion was too narrow for my foot even though I ordered a wide width based on the measurement of my foot. They are not good for arch support, plantar fasciitis, or heel pain, but may be okay if you don't have problems with your feet.
