Attractive shoe. Would have loved it if I didn’t have a bunion. The decorative, strappy part put pressure on my bunion.

Loved the color & style of these shoes. Playing pickleball they felt too wide and my feet slipped around in the forefoot. Had to return.

Fit is good, however as compared to ryka Devotion XT, the shock absorption is not good enough, and I'm returning them in exchange for another pair of Devotion XT.

They fit well but not good cushion for jumping/any impact. I added in insoles to help. Additionally, they do not sit high on the ankles.

I always wear size 8, but it was too short and I exchanged them for 8.5. They are light yet supportive. Very comfortable and good for working out or walking

I bought these for low impact dance workouts and they serve that purpose quite well. However, I did switch out the insole for a NB orthotic. I felt they could use that extra cushioning. That simple addition really upgraded the comfort to perfect.

Really liked the look of these shoes but the arch support did not feel equal in both shoes. Obviously its my feet that are not identical, I am sure the shoes are the same. Just didn’t work with my feet.

While I like this pair in style, the padding is not as comfortable as the previous pair of Rykas that I bought.

These are very cute walking shoes but for some reason the fabric at the toe is too stiff for me and hurt my toes, especially my big toe, when I walked around the house. Unfortunately, had to return them.

This is the second pair of Ryk I have purchased. Some of the green rubber on the left shoe bottom started to peel off. So because I had to pay for shipping, I took my shoes to my shoe repair guy and he said that it will be ok. I will never buy online directly from Ryk.

Very cute. Look good on my foot. They have Support although the arch hits a bit far back for comfort. I just got them so I can’t speak to how they will do with a day standing on concrete floors ( I’m an anesthesiologist so I stand a lot) but the price is very good. So far I’m happy.

These workout shoes are light weight and stylish. Fit well hugging the heel and plenty of room in the toe box area. Only problem is the support structure on the outside when jumping back for burpees or plank. The bend presses in to toes causing discomfort. Maybe when they break down in the crease a little it won't be as bad hopefully.

Incredibly lightweight shoes. Cushiony feel when walking. I will need to add an arch support because they’re not stiff enough to prevent my pronation. Just a bit less room in the toe box than I’d like, too. Nice snug but comfy fit on my narrow heels.

If this is an extra wide, then they must consider a stick figure to have a normal width. Good arch support, attractive and well-made shoe. Would be good for very narrow feet, but NOT women with wide feet.

Very comfortable but not quite what I was looking for. Excellent choice for going outside my usual brand of shoe.

This is the first time I bought shoes without trying before buying. I do cardio, weights and step workouts. I have worn them for a few workouts and they are comfortable. I do have a wide foot and high arch, so this is a good shoe for that, but the shoe is a little wide in the heel area. My foot tends to slip. I wear a thicker sock and that has helped. Maybe I could have gone without a wide, but didn't want to chance it. Overall, a good sturdy shoe and hopefully I can get a year out of them.

These shoes are great for dance exercise because they allow you to go sideways with ease. I've found that they are the best for dancing on carpet when that is the only option.

Extremely comfortable. However, for a wide width,this style doesnt seem to have as much room as my other style i wear. Love the bright color!

I like these sneakers. They're comfortable and lightweight. They do run large. I should have purchased a size 10 instead of my usual 10.5.

I ordered both this and the influence 2.5. I assumed the 2.5 was the newer model, so would be better. I like the styling of the 2.5, but the fit and comfort on this shoe is better, so I’m keeping this and returning the 2.5. I plan to use it for indoor cardio.
