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.

Shoe is wide with little support. Cushioning is good. Returning shoe...does not work for me.

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.

Just not as comfortable as I wanted them to be or as comfortable as Women's Devotion Training Shoe.

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.

Bought these shoes in March 2014. It is now May 2nd and the green tread on the bottom of the left shoe on the ball of the foot has completely shredded off and the right shoe is well on the way to the same fate. I will say I do walk 4-5 miles 7 days a week, but I am completely disappointed how this shoe has disintegrated in 2 months!

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.

I thought I would like these shoes but it wasn't very comfortable. It felt uneven as if I was stepping on uneven floors. I put my inserts thinking it would smooth it out but it didn't. It also made my feet look big. I know a little vain. I tried the shoes out for a few months, by that point it was too late to return. I'll still buy Ryka since their shoes are great for workouts.

I had been very happy with Rykas until this shoe. They had too much cushioning and in the wrong places for my foot. The shoes were OK for forward motion, but awful for any lateral moves. I felt like I was on a crown road and my foot would slide from side to side of the sole because of the concentration of padding in the center.
I really need a stability shoe and I wish Ryka would include that information with its shoe descriptions.

I loved these shoes when I first bought them. After reading a review that described "feeling like walking on marshmallows" I was sold and couldn't have agreed more. The only problem is that after 3-4 months, they now feel like they've broken down and are no longer as comfortable and don't provide much support.
I'd recommend only if you don't plan to wear them often or for them to last very long.

This is my sixth pair of Rykas since 2016 so until now I've been a happy user, but not so much at this point. I purchased this pair in December for a trip to Europe and was shocked to see the toe box area separate from the sole after just 8-10 outings! I also noted portions of the sole are already showing small cracks.
I am still traveling abroad so I'm replacing this with another brand to get me through the rest of our trip.

While a nice looking shoe, it has very little cushion or arch support. Not for walking distance, it felt like walking in a pair of moccasins. I shouldn't have to buy an additional cushion insole to be comfortable.

I received these shoes as a birthday gift and was very excited about them. After only wearing them for a week one of the eyes where the laces runs through ripped open. Needless to say I was very upset and disappointed. After only wearing a handful of times that shouldn't happen EVER. After a ton of wear and abuse now that's different but brand new absolutely not.
Unhappy I,

This was my first time trying out Ryka shoes. I was dissapointed in the quality. They seemed light and flimsy out of the box. When I tried to walk in them, I started to have new pain in my foot and knee! I have since bought another brand that have worked great with good support and no pain. I will avoid Ryka in the future, sorry to say.

I don't write reviews, but you guys wouldn't leave it alone. Here it goes: the shoes sucked. Not sure who decides that these shoes are good for someone with Plantar Fasciitis. They've obviously never had it. No support. You'll have to pay extra for an actual orthotic. And what's with the tongue? This little very thin strip running up the middle, should it not be enough to cover the top of the foot? Never seen that before. I could go on, but I'm sure I've done enough damage. I will go back to my Asics for just a few pennies more. You guys have a long way to go before you reach Asic level. (and you charge just as much!!!) I unsubscribed from you once I returned my shoes, you should of left me alone.
