Customer Reviews Ryka Hydro Sport Water Shoes

Light weight and comfy, but replace the shoelaces...mine started slipping 2 minutes after I double tied them. Locking elastic shoelaces worked great....how come Zappos doesn't carry them? Also of note is that, unlike Ryka's walking/running shoes, there are no extra holes at the top, which I usually use to narrow up the heel area to keep them from slipping. These do slip a tiny bit on me. I think I prefer them to my Keen water shoes because they are lighter and more comfortable, but the toe protection on the Keens is better for some activities.

I have tried many water shoes and they generally do not have good support. Teva and Keene both have good sandals, but I haven't found them to have good support. These have good support. I can wear them for long stretches and my feet are not in pain at the end. I think these are great water shoes that can double as regular walking shoes. Great for hiking in the woods.

Loved the design and color but it was short in the toe box and so had to send them back. Will look and see if they offer half sizes and will reorder.

These ran a little small. I ordered them for myself but they were too small so I gave them to my daughter who is a 1/2 size smaller than me. Otherwise they are cute.

I haven't had the opportunity to wear these very often yet but so far I like them. They are comfortable and breathable and I think they will be a great workout shoe.

Comfortable shoes. I walked in them for almost 6 hours at a local festival. I ordered size 6.5 because I thought Ryka ran small so I inserted a Dr, Scholls. I recommend not to order half size larger, the mesh will stretch.

I purchased these for my aqua classes...very comfortable, no slipping or sliding. Easy to move in including the aqua pilates class. However, I did not like the shoelaces. I tried tucking them in and they kept falling out. I could feel them touching my ankles and I did not like that part. I wish they were different laces instead of the traditional cotton shoelaces. Ended up sending them back. :(

I bought these for a trip to a remote work site (on an island) which requires wading to shore from a small boat and then walking around in sand as well as on concrete. I didn't want to wear work boots or regular sneakers and have wet feet for hours, or have to pack additional pairs of shoes. The shoes drained quickly and were very comfortable on the hot surfaces. The only issue I had was as others mentioned, once sand gets in, it is difficult to get it all out. I rinsed them several times and got most of it out. I had some sand or maybe gravel rub on the top my big toe as it was apparently caught between the toe guard and my foot, causing a very tiny sore spot. I would suggest rinsing the sand out periodically in the surf or under an outdoor faucet (if available) to avoid this. Overall a good purchase and satisfied with the shoes. Will wear them again when conditions require. I have other Ryka athletic shoes for other activities.

First time customer of Ryka water shoes. I wear a 9 to 9.5 (wide) shoe, so I decided to order the size 9.5. They are performing very well in my 3x a week water aerobics classes except for one thing: the reason for 4 stars is a design challenge: The laces sometimes become untied during workouts. Other water shoes have "tie styles" that prevent this. I'd highly suggest a make over for this part only. Other color combinations would be awesome too!

Great water shoe -- comfortable! I tried two other pairs before finding these. Not terribly quick to dry as they actually contain some support -- you can walk in them! Attractive too!

Nice fit. Wish the laces were elastic though. Great feature having drains in the soles of the shoe. This brand was recommended by the other gals in my water fitness class.

I loved the styling and they are very comfortable but my size 11 felt like a 10 1/2, have to return them, too bad.

The padding in the soles make these very comfortable for exercising in the water. Since they don't come in widths and I wear an 8D, I ordered an 8.5 which worked well. The shoelaces are a bit long and need to be tucked in so that they don't hit my ankles.

Very cute but too short and too narrow, but, at the same time, my heel slipped when I walked.

Too big
