Customer Reviews Ryka Hydro Sport Water Shoes

I have only worn them about five times and one of the lacing loops just broke.

I'm a 7 1/2 but I buy closed toe shoes in 8 because my big toe joint swells up and I can't have pressure on the toe. The 8 was perfect in length (in bare feet) but too wide and I don't have narrow feet. I bought these to go in the water and hike on cliffs and I could tell that because of the width my toe would slide forward going down hill. Since these were for water I needed them to fit well in bare feet but I liked them so much I thought maybe I could use them as general sneakers and so I tried them on with sneaker socks which filled out the width perfectly but then they were too short. I'm disappointed because I love the color and they felt comfortable and supportive, but for hiking on cliffs and going in water I need a more secure fit.

too large. Because I intend to wear them in the pool without socks, maybe I should have ordered a smaller size. ...??

I love the water shoes ?but we’re to Big

These are just too short in the toe box, my big toes hitting right up into the top of shoe. There were other reviews stated this including that RYKA has smaller toe boxes, but again, each person's foot is different. Other than that they looked great, good fit across the top of foot and in the heel. I wanted to love these for aqua aerobics and pool lane running. Very hard to find a hydro sneaker like this Ryka. Back to the search I go.

These sneakers fit okay, but didn't have as much support as a different Ryka sneaker that I purchased previously.

I bought these for some advanced water aerobics classes where there is a lot of jumping. The cushioning is good, not excellent. They are comfortable and look stylish. It takes a few days for them to completely dry out, even with removing the insole and drying it separately.

My issue is that this brand used to have wonderful slide-off slide-on water shoes great for the beach or pool. Now their remaining water shoe model is basically a sneaker/athletic shoe that would NEVER dry. Plus it has a higher heel than toe which isn't great for the water. Should be a neutral heel.

They don’t dry, after getting wet.

Really loved the style but the comfort I need for my achy feet that suffer from plantar fasciitis was not there. Had to return them.

The fit and size feels perfect when I put the shoes on, but when I'm in the water one of the laces slips down making the shoe loose. It feels as though it will fall off during water aerobics.

I wear 10.5. Ordered 11. Cut narrow at toes. Still didn’t work for my feet. Too bad. They were pretty.

They look nice but they do run wide, I have more narrow feet so they are ok to run around in but not do exercise in.

These did not fit as well as Ryka's typically do. I have orthotics and these were way too shallow.

The long laces are a problem. Despite double knotting them, the shoes loosen during water exercise and feel as though they are going to fall off. I try tucking the ends of the knotted laces under the cross laces but that does not help. I have had Ryka shoes before and would buy a different water shoe style.
