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!

This is my 4th pair of Devotion. Absolutely love them. Most comfortable walking shoes I've ever owned. My foot width is AAA and heel is AAAAA and Ryka is the ONLY walking shoe that does not slip on my heel. Those these are not narrow, they work for me.

2nd pair of Ryka's I've had to return. Love the look of the shoe, but can't be a true wide shoe; neither pair - 8-1/2 or 9W fit. Bummer.

Feels narrow and a half size to small. Feels uncomfortable just sitting down. I need really padded sneakers and lots of support. These are very light weight which is nice. Just not right for me.

From reviews, this shoe is supposed to be true to size and width. Not the pair I received. Iu even bought a half size larger. I think they are sized wrong. Seriously, could barely fit in my foot.
I love the look. Looks well made. Great cushioning.

This shoe is very narrow and extremely cushy. So much that it makes me feel unstable.

The piece of material intersection the top of the toe's mesh material going from the toe toward the base of the laces caused severe swelling, blisters, and pain on two toes on each foot. The pain stayed for a couple months even after stopping wearing these shoes. After a year I tried to wear these shoes again as I really liked the appearance of the shoes, but the same thing started happening again with the same 2 toes on each foot within 2 days of starting to wear the shoes again.

When I tried on these shoes I thought they were very comfortable. Unfortunately as I wore them one by one the pads on the bottom would come off. Returned for full money back. Very surprised for the price I paid. Wont buy this brand again.

I love the way Ryka shoes fit and feel. But the first pair I tried with this sole didn't even last 6 months of 30 minute dog walks. It literally pealed apart. So I bought another pair. They're also comfortable but I can see the sole starting to wear quickly after 3 months and do the same thing. Argh! Why not make them more durable AND soft?
