Customer Reviews Ryka Hydro Sport Water Shoes

I wear a size 8 or 81/2 and with these the 8 was the right fit. Comfortable with good arch support. Works great in the pool.

I bought these for a vacation to Hawaii and I was not disappointed. They were great for all-day support and perfect for walking along waterfalls and other areas that would have ruined my shoes or not been safe in flip flops. I highly recommend them!

I really like these Ryka watershoes. In 2015, I purchased 3 pairs from Zappos. Those shoes are totally worn out, so I decided to order myself replacements. I walk 2 dogs who love going into the river. These shoes are great for that; no stubbed toes, the soles are excellent for rocky bottoms, and, they dry quickly. Also, I can walk long distances in these shoes without any adverse foot issues. I normally wear a double wide shoe. However, these in a 9 medium are just fine. I have room to wiggle my toes, which is a plus. I think the reason I can wear these is that the toe bed is wide and one does not wear these watershoes with socks. Also, I really like this color! I highly recommend!!!! Zappos, you are just awesome! Thanks!!!

I bought these to wear water walking at a water park on a regular basis. The fit is great and they are oh so comfortable. No slipping even when the current is pushing against me.

A really lightweight but supportive shoe! But just be aware, if water can get out, it can get in. They were perfect for our cruise, but not so much for the snow on the ground upon arriving home. Socks got a little wet!

These are very nice water shoes, light, quick-drying and fun to wear. The lace is a little long, but you can tighten the toggle and tuck it so it doesn't flop around in the water. Since it is mostly flexible mesh, I got a 1/2 size smaller than usual. My regular size fit, but I thought if it stretches out in the water, it's going to be too big. The shoe is marked B width but I have a wide foot and it was very comfortable.

I was afraid I would have to give up water aerobics because of some nerve damage but these really took the pressure off. I have very wide feet, i.e. D width but these are soft enough that they fit really well. Plus their cute.

My family went to discovery cove in FL. I wanted something that I would be able to wear in the reef. These were perfect. Only down side sand once in can't get out.

I have worn these shoes twice in the pool for water aerobics class and they are quite comfortable. The first day I was slipping a little on the pool bottom but the second day it was not an issue. I noticed the water aerobics teacher was wearing the exact same shoes although it was obvious she had them for awhile since they didn't look new and shiny the way mine do. They must be a good shoe if the instructor was wearing them. The shoes have plenty of cushioning to soften the impact of the cement pool bottom. The only thing I would prefer is that they have more arch support as my arches are high ane need extra support. Overall I give the shoes a thumbs up.

These fit but the left toes had a large interior seam the was up against the top of my toes. Very disappointed-maybe these are defective. Its not like that on the right foot which is a lrager foot.

I bought these for water aerobics. When I buy running shoes, I choose a whole size bigger than my normal size (in flats) , but since I wasn't wearing socks with these I selected only 1/2 size bigger. The width across the toes seemed a bit wider than I expected, but overall the fit of the shoes was satisfactory. What I don't like is the way Ryka did the shoes laces. Yes, it has a plastic tightener on it, but other than that, they are regular shoe laces. I prefer not to have long laces to tie for water aerobics. I think they could have come up with a better design for laces than this...

I desperately wanted these to work but unfortunately they were too narrow. I need wide and these water shoes do not come in wide. Had to send them back

I've had these water shoes for less than two weeks and have worn them four times. Already one of the loops that holds the shoestring has broken, and there isn't an eyelet to feed the shoestring through.

Fit comfortably and light. Feet don’t tire walking on them all day.

Love the look, feel and sizing right on target...cool shoe as well for sandy beach experience and even general wear. Extremely comfortable .

This was my 3rd try at finding a comfie water shoe. And it's perfect. It is perfect for water aerobics when running or jumping on hard pool floor surface.

Great for water jogging or water aerobics. Good support, but don't feel heavy. Dry quickly, but I life the insoles to hasten the drying

I attend an hour and a half high intensity water aerobic class Monday through Thursday every week year round. I am desperately looking for a supportive pair of water shoes. These are great but sizing is off. I am always a 10. I’ve tried 10’s and 9 1/2..I think I may need a 9! Zappos is awesome about free returns and quickly issuing a refund! Superb service! I will keep trying to find correct size. 9.5’s might work but think I should try a 9 too! Thanks Zappos for being so accommodating

I use these shoes for working out in the pool, jogging, aerobics. They are very comfortable, water drains well, quick drying. These are my fifth pair- so you can tell I like them. Other brands have not held up as well!

Fit is good. I like the material.

Fit and size goid

I wrote a review a year ago, but since I just bought another pair as backup before tariffs kick in, I figure I'll add some more. Recently I took these to Africa as my second shoe (primary was pair of hiking boots due jungle treks). These worked for walking, albeit were a bit springy, and on a one-day river trip (dried fast!). Has a roomy toe box and room for an orthotic, but laces tighten for instep/narrower heels. Since I wear these as river/outdoor shoes not in a pool I remove the plastic toggle and just tie the laces. Only cons: The soles could grip better for clambering over slippery moss-wet rocks, and the tie-die look isn't my usual low-key outdoor thing, but the ability to snug down the shoe and their fast dry-time and fit make up for those.
