Customer Reviews Ryka Devotion

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.

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 shoes look great, but after wearing them I can feel the indentations on the bottom. I thought they would be thick enough that you couldnt feel the bottom but that wasnt the case. If they pad them a little better I think that would help. I think I will try to put insoles in them to see if that helps.

The shoe is narrow even though I bought a wide. I bought for Refit classes and they are good but don’t like them when I’m doing a 3 mile walk. Also the heel is wide & slips if I don’t tie them really tight. I will keep them, but I won’t buy this brand again. I’m more of an ASICS & Brooks girl!

For a walking shoe, the heel is great but the support for the ball of the foot is not. I feel the pavement too much. The tongue needs a sleeve for the laces so I don't have to work at pulling the tongue up when I put on the shoe. The arch support is not high and firm enough for my high arches.

Shoe uppers are thin and baggy... little substance of fabric with painted design. It bags like a loose sock on the inner foot.i don't want to pay to mail them back, but it reinforced my thoughts about buying shoes on line.

For being a wide width the toes were nor roomy/too tight

I've owned two pairs. I am 5'5" and 175lbs in my late 40's. They are extremely comfortable and I enjoy walking in them. I walk 40-60 minutes per day 7 days per week on road and sidewalk surfaces. Each day I do about 3-4 miles with my dog in all weather conditions. Both pairs have started to fall apart after 3 months. The tread turns grey on the bottom as it wears down. I also start to feel knee and leg pain as they degrade so I know it's time to replace them. I am disappointed because they are so comfortable but at this price point, they should at least last 6 months.
