Customer Reviews Ryka Devotion

They advertise that their shoes are "made for the different shape of women's feet" but evidently my feet are not like most women's! The heel was much too narrow--it was painful. Sent them right back.

Ryka seems to have changed the footbed in all the shoes that I have ordered by this manufacturer since I used to order them over the last several years. The support feels lumpy or too "cushy" in all the shoes I have tried, except for the Dash 3, which is comfortable. I can see that I need to change my brand of shoe that I am ordering, because I like a somewhat soft footbed, not a hard one, but the lumpy, overly soft footbeds that they are using now put too much strain on the arches in my feet and actually hurt my feet so that I cannot wear them. Too bad, this used to be a very comfortable brand of shoe.

I have worn these shoes twice so far for walking - they are overall uncomfortable on my foot and rubbed huge blisters on my heals even through heavy socks and bandaids. One good thing I can say is they are very light. I am sure it is just my foot and might work perfectly for someone else.

I was disappointed since I ordered Ryka's Devotion Plus, NOT Devotion Plus 2. I had a pair of the Plus 2 and had to toss them. For some they are quite soft and comfortable but for me, my feet tended to lean inward in the Plus 2. This does not happen with the Devotion Plus, and unfortunately Ryka doesn't manufacture them any longer.

I love these shoes, but in 4 short months the bottom of the shoe is shredded. They fit well, look good, but don't last. It's my second pair, and both have worn out much too quickly. It's not like I put miles on them every day. Disappointing.

Love the colors but the sole is too sticky for zumba. I have OA in both knees and need a shoe with a slick inset in the sole like my Blochs, only with more support. Wish they came in narrow also. I will try another style of Blochs. I am a senior.

These shoes seemed great right out of the box. After less than 2 months of daily wear the cushion is gone and they are very uncomfortable. I am very disappointed and will not buy Ryka shoes again.

I really liked the look of these shoes but returned them because the way the top of the tongue is attached is rough and scratchy. These shoes run narrow, too.

These shoes are really comfy-like walking on clouds. That said, I'm very disappointed in them. After only a week or two the treads began to peel and fall off. This caused a real tripping hazard as they often caught on carpets and uneven surfaces. Also, Ryka shoes tend to wear out really quickly. I don't wear them every day, but the cushioning collapsed and broke down.

I love the look and fit of these shoes. I chose half a size larger than usual to allow space for my own orthotics. My one observation is that they wore out very quickly. The upper part was pristine while the sole looked like it had been filed down to a nub. I wear them three hours per week so I think they should have lasted longer than six months. Zappos has been gracious enough to replace them so I will see how I do with this second pair.

I usually have no problem with Ryka shoes and they are the only athletic shoes I can wear. This one, however, was narrower than usual and I got the "D" width. The shoe felt very narrow through the ball of my foot - and the toe box was more narrow than usual, too. I was very disappointed and they are going back. Thanks, Zappos, for making the return so easy! Another note: There's a black "patent" like shiny material in places on the shoe and I think that makes it look cheap. This is on the black/violet/turquoise shoe. Like I said...I'm disappointed.

I ordered Wide (D), but it's still too narrow. I don't have excessive wide feet, but prefer roomy toe box and normally wear a C. I was surprise that a D feels tight. I also don't like bouncy thick sole which is exactly what this shoe is about.

I do a lot of walking in Boston and these shoes were comfrtable at first but did not hold up well, even after the first few days. I ordered a 7 1/2 wide and they were too small length wise and width wise, and my feet are not THAT wide, most wides are too large. But even if they had fit perfectly, the quality of the material really is lacking. The show started to come apart after about a month, and before that the material on the bottom of the shoe peeled off. Overall I would not recommend these shoes.

I bought these because they were supposedly great for aerobics in the gym. Within days I began to feel like something was wrong in the front right of my shoe. Then, while doing mountain climbers, I realized the soft puffy things on the soles were tearing off! I had to use superglue to get them back on. Overall, that's just ridiculous!

Color me perplexed, dudes! How did these shoes get such high ratings? These are so cheaply made that, aside from the solea, I would have assumed that they were a cheap big box brand (can I mention Wally World?). They are bizarrely loose in some places and tight in others, in a way that betrays obviously poor quality control. Either that, or Ryka just does not give a crap. The soles are super bouncy and rad, but they will not be after a few uses. I want to see the two month follow-up on these five star reviews because, uhh... Seriously, do not waste your time or money on these stinkers.

Very uncomfortable shoe. The bottom rubber is diamonds and I could feel each one with every step. Also short on ankle. I tried putting an insert in shoe to not feel the diamonds so much and then the shoe wouldn't hold on my foot. Slipped off with each step. Also, color wasn't true to picture. Not so cute in person. These were more red than pink piping/shoelace.

These shoes were very comfortable from day one. I walk every day and was so pleased with both the support and the cushion of these shoes. So I was very disappointed to find the inside lining in the heel area of both shoes had developed a hole within weeks of wearing the shoes. Now the left shoe is so torn up in the heel area it is uncomfortable to wear. I would not buy these shoes again.
