Customer Reviews Ryka Devotion

The smell is horrific. Have been out of packaging for days and the smell is still permeating my bedroom. Will have to put them outside. Horrible sour smell

I am not sure if it is the glue or materials used but these shoes smell so bad. My husband says they smell spoiled. I've tried scrubbing, washing, submerging the soles in bleach, they even sat out side in a rainstorm and the horrible smell still remains. It is a shame because I love the shoe. My first pair of Devo 2 did not smell. I could smell these while I was sitting at the doctors office. Guess it's back to New Balance.

I have been a Ryka shoe lover and shopper for over 5 years. I ordered these in a different color as I have had the same pairs in other colors and loved each one. The last 2 times I have purchased the same pair in the exact size 11W they have not fit and were way too tight!! My feet have not changed so it must be the design. I am truly disappointed as I love Ryka shoes.

This was my first time buying this brand. The shoes caused my feet to go numb while walking. I have no structural issues with my feet. I have never had this issue with any other shoes I've worn. I'm a avid walker 2-3 miles per day. I was very disappointed with this purchase. I tried them for 2 seperate days. I couldn't continue to put my feet and legs in horrible pain like that. It's a wasted purchase, and now they will not allow me to return them.

I had awful pain after these.. I was so excited. Now I'm out the money :(

I were a size 7 shoe. This does not fit me in a size 7. I do not know what size would fit me in this shoe. Unable or return to wear small.

Shoes are super uncomfortable. I've tried two different walks in them and they kill my feet. Wish I could return them.

Shoe created a blister from the bottom joint of my left big toe to the tip of my left big toe! Unable to wear these shoes even with insets from the Chiropractor, same thing happened! Total waste of money!

My husband bought me these shoes as a birthday gift. Upon the first use, the transparent/clear contour stripes started peeling away from the right shoe. However, the left shoe is perfectly fine. I'm disappointed at the stark quality difference of these shoes. This distinctly diminishes Ryka's reputation as a good shoe for me. I won't be buying this brand again.

Hopefully my issue was a one off and just a bad pair, but while the left shoe fit great, the right shoe did not. My heel did not sit as it should have and I ended up walking with my heel striking on the inside edge of the footbed.

Not very happy one of the shoe string loops already broke and we didn't even have them for a week!! Not happy at all!! Very dissatisfied!!!

Loved the look of these shoes but they were shorter and narrower than the other pair I bought that were the same size.

Super comfortable when I wore them around my house, but within half a mile of a strenuous walk, I had pain across my feet and my toes went numb on both feet. I have always had great luck with Rykas so of course I assumed the issue was with me. I even tried buying the same shoe again but in a wide, thinking it was a narrow toe box that caused my issues. Nope. Same thing within the first mile - pain and numb toes. After years of buying these sneakers, I am done with Ryka. What a bummer.

for paying almost $100 for a pair of shoes you think they would of held together for more than 2 months. I bought this pair thinking they would be great since I walk about 60 kilo per week. First the insole was dead and already tearing after the 2nd day wearing them. Ended up putting new insoles in them. Then not even a month in i have 2 holes in my shoes. Do not waste your money with these so called "walking shoes". They are pathetically made and fall apart easily. After these shoes I made certain to find a pair I like. A big thanks to ADIDAS for making shoes that are comfortable and do all the things ryka claims their brand does but really doesn't. Well money and time wasted. Oh and don't forget the sore feet and joints but now I know I will never go through ryka again.

The right shoe appears to be defective. The insole is crooked and the instep gaps. Never had this problem before

I bought this shoe 3 months ago and the insole is wearing out already after about 200 miles of walking. The orange is where the insole is wearing through. I'm very disappointed because they are very comfortable.

Have bought another walking shoe and have hundreds of miles walked in them. I wore these about 10 miles one week and my hip flexors were killing me. Knee and ankle were also hurting. Out a lot of money! Wish they would bring back the Devotion plus 3!

The shoes look fine but the right shoe is smaller than the left shoe. I ordered my size based on the websites recommendation but was disappointed that the shoes didnt fit correctly. It is advertised as having a a narrow heal and roomier toe, but it was too tight in the toe area. I tried adjusting the laces and seeing if walking in them on a treadmill would help, but it didnt.

I bought about a month ago...whenever they get wet, they smell like cat urine. When they dry out they go back to normal. It's awful. I researched for the best shoe for my back injuries. Fit beautifully and felt great to walk. Can't wear them around people or even in a car when wet. It is the worst thing ever. Expensive shoe for this to happen. Very disappointed.

I purchased Devotion Walking Shoe. They were true to size , comfortable. Unfortunately after 3 months and approximately 180-200 miles the soles 1st later in the heel wore to the 2nd layer. I e-mailed the company 2 weeks ago and have not had a response. I have been a runner, now walker for 35 years.... this has never happened in any other shoe. So sad. Last pair.Would not recommend.

I bought these at Academy after reading the rave reviews. I walked three miles indoors and had to stop. These are by far he most uncomfortable shoes that were ever on my feet. The pattern of the sole I could feel on the bottom of my foot with every step due to lack of padding. The large part of the sole right under the ball of my foot just dig into my foot with every step. I immediately returned them the next day and bought a different brand shoes. This was my first and last pair of Ryka shoes.

I ordered a 9 1/2 and it was too small. I then ordered a 10 and it was too big. Besides the size problems, both shoes bent awkwardly at the toes digging in as I walked. I really wanted to like these shoes. So much so that I went to my local DSW and tried them on again with the same results. Very attractive shoe, but unfortunately they didn't work for my feet.
