I love the fit and comfort of these shoes, but like another reviewer, the soles are coming apart after only a few months. I am contacting Ryka to see if they will replace. I bought another pair of Ryka in a different style and those have not come apart, so this may be just this model.

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.

The shoe was wide enough but the toe box was very narrow. There was not enough cushioning in the insole and heel and very little arch support. After I walked in them for 30 minutes my feet hurt for the rest of the day.

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.

Something has happened to these shoes in the wide width. I have worn them for years yet they have changed and no longer wide. I have had to return 2 pairs now. So sad. The search is on.

Be WARNED. I can't believe that Zappos would place a larger sized size sticker on this shoe,which I found out it was a FULL size smaller. Returned it, and am wary on ordering anything from this site.

Unfortunately this shoe didn't work for me at all! I got the right size but I found the heel very uncomfortable, on my first walk it rubbed my heel so badly I formed a hot spot. The heel is constructed with two seams, one on either side, and I think they were the problem. I tried to do a second walk with thinner socks and laced the shoes carefully but I only got across the street before I gave up from the pain and rubbing. I'm returning them. I read reviews before I bought and obviously they're fantastic for a lot of women, just not me.

Have worn Rykas for years and have three pairs currently but this latest pair did not hold up to their usual standards. Wore them only twice when the cotton filling in both tongues came out due to poor stitching. The materials used in this particular style were ill thought.

Nice looking shoes but I disappointed it since I couldn't get them on my feet. It was cited as good for someone with high arches but it did not work for me,even with loosening the laces I had to struggle to get my foot in the shoe. In all fairness,my estimates of size,width and comfort are not reliable since my foot was never completely in the shoe. If you have a high instep think carefully before you buy this shoe.

When I walked and looked down at my feet it looked like I was walking kind of lopsided. Then the hip and knee pain started and I realized it was these shoes. Yes I could feel the arch support but my feet were wobbling and crooked. This was my 3rd pair of Rykas and my last none of them lasted more than 3 months.

This really perturbs me. This would be my 2nd pair of the Devotion model but in a different color. Here's the problem: I ordered the exact same size and width as my other shoes and the new pair of Devotion shoes that arrived are at least a half size too small on the right shoe AND A FULL SIZE TOO SMALL ON THE LEFT SHOE! But they are both marked Size 11 W. You can even see the size difference before putting them on. That's crazy. Definitely a manufacturing and quality control problem at Ryka. So, now I don't feel like wasting my time ordering another pair because how do I know the same thing won't happen again? They are totally defective. Returning and going to research another brand.

I wore these shoes for 3 hours and my feet hurt so bad. I went by the reviews but they were definitely off. The insides felt like they did not completely cover to the outside of the shoe. The heel did fit snug and no arch support at all. I ordered a wide and on my right foot my toe was pushing through the outside of the shoe. Toe box was definitely not wide. Took them off and my feet continued to hurt. Avoid these shoes at all cost!
