Customer Reviews Ryka Sky Walk

Beautiful shoes indeed, but the insole is weird puffy stuff and where is attaches to the shoe inside on the outside of the foot, there's a sharp bump that was uncomfortable immediately. Sent back and kept another style I had ordered with them. Pretty though! I got the slate gray

I have had a pair of Rykas for a long time that I love. They are wide enough for my very wide feet but the heel is smaller so it doesn't lift up. These shoes fit nicely but they did not offer enough support for my super high arch. My foot leaned to the left in them. They are very lightweight and I like the style. They just were not good for me.

I have another pair of Rykas and love them. I ordered the same size and width, but these are narrower and the toe box doesn't feel as wide. I am going to order the next wider width.

Overall impression: meh.... Not terrible but not impressive. Maybe with right ortho insert it would be a great shoe. As is, it’s just “meh”

Ordered several pair to get the fit. In every case the toe area was phenomenally wide (as advertised) and the heel was snug as (advertised). I have a tiny foot so these shoe did not work. I have worn them in the past and loved them but the memory foam works only for a minute and the toe area is too wide for my sole inserts. Pretty colors, but overall frustrating. If you don't have bunions the shape of the shoe is exaggerated. Also the tight heel rubs even on my skinny foot.

Loved these shoes but they just don't have enough padding on the bottom for my feet!

Ryka have been my go to shoes for years. And now they've become a pain to wear. I thought the tender, nearly blister spot on my little and 4th toes was because of a stocking. I felt inside the shoe tonight and found the design flaw. The nice soft inner sole has a ridge at the outside edge of it at edge of the toes, and this ridge does not meet the edge of the shoe. The padded innersole seems to be made of memory foam and it would be lovely if it actually padded my toes. There is a dip where there is no padding at the edge of the forefoot. My toes are rubbing in this unpadded area on the raw edges where the upper and sole meet. I'm more than a little disgusted. I can't return the blighted things because I've worn them all over for the last few days.

Cute and very comfortable, but the tongue of the shoe is not wide enough. You can see the color of your socks peaking through. The material at the heal is low quality, scrunches down when you try to put the shoes on. I feel this would be problematic over time. Sadly, I will be returning these cute shoes.

Very cute and comfy however I bought these about a year ago and I don’t wear them regularly, usually just one or two days a week to run errands and they both have small holes above my big toe because of the mesh. I usually go about 3-5 years before needing to buy new sneakers because I wear them so infrequently and now I have to buy new sneakers a year later.

This shoe has a contoured footbed. I wear a shoe with a fairly high arch, but this also has other ‘moldings’ that did not fit the feet right. These are going back.

Very comfy on my slim feet. However, there is already a hole in the memory foam insole under the back of my foot. also, there is not enough FIRM support on the ball of the foot.

These felt so nice, but were too narrow. I wish their wide size ran wider

Nice looking shoe. Toe box was too narrow for me and shoe came up too high on my ankles. Also, unfortunately i cannot wear memory foam

I’ve had many pairs of Rykas in the past, but unfortunately these are not quite up to par. Felt great at first, but after a month the inside seems to be wearing in a strange way - I’m getting a callous on the edge of my left foot! Original box is long gone, so no way to return them...if you get these, do more walking around on carpet in your house than I did before committing to keeping the shoes.

Attractive style and lightweight. Construction seems bulky in heel area; thin in ball and toe parts of feet. My tender feet need more support and cushioning. I could not remove the insole to insert my orthotics. Packing inside shoes was so tight I needed pliers to remove it!

I liked the look of these shoes, even though I don't think that peach and gray compliment each other. I was hopeful that the mesh would stretch enough to be comfortable on my extra wide forefoot with a high instep. It didn't and the heel was too loose. I have a pull-on pair of Rykas in the same size (8W) that fit very well and am disappointed to not have a second pair. I need a WW, but can wear a W in some shoes. No matter which width I get, the heel is always too big. I doubt that I am the only one with this problem, but manufacturers don't get it. I am relegated to wearing shoes that have a tie or a strap and would love to be able to wear a cute pair of flats or loafers. Any suggestions?

I liked nearly everything about these shoes, except the foam insole was not as wide as my wide width shoe. So my toes hung over the insole like over a small cliff. Very weird. Had to send them back. Ended up buying Asics.

Comfy foot bed in terms of memory foam, but no arch support, which is necessary for my plantar faciitis.

I really liked these initially, but over time the lack of solid arch support and the wide toe box has worn on me. They look good, though, and are good for casual wear.

I loved my first pair of Sky Walks so much I got the same thing when they wore out. This new pair seems to have skipped inspection for the laces were short, just long enough to tie. The the insole pulls out with my foot when I unlace and take them off. The insole is not supposed to be removable. It also just goes to the middle of my toes, not the end of the shoe. As I was so happy with the first pair, I jumped right into these and went walking which makes them nonreturnable. Still it is a comfortable shoe. So the stars I am giving is for this particular pair.

I had a pair of Skywalkers that were wonderful, so of course when they wore out I came back to Zappos for another pair... all the better that they were on sale for $20 less. The first time I put them on to take my daily walk I notice the shoe laces were so much shorter, just enough to tie. Ok, no big deal. After about a week, while I untied them to take them off, the insole would buckle and start to pull out with my foot. That never happened with the first pair. Then lastly the insert didn't go to the end of the shoe, just to the center of my toes. I don't recall if that was the case with the first pair or not. Ryka may be cutting corners, or this pair missed inspection, but at any rate these are still darn comfortable.

This was my first time trying this brand of shoe. I really loved the way these shoes felt on my feet---so comfortable and it felt like they were hugging my feet and I was walking on a cloud. HOWEVER, after only wearing these shoes approximately 5 times the inside of the foot bed padding began to lift up from the sole of the shoe. I felt that this should not happen after barely walking in these shoes! I contacted RYKA and they gave me a very hard time when I told them I felt the shoes were defective or were poorly made. They wanted me to pay to return the shoes where they would inspect the shoes, and, (if they deemed them defective) they would then decide what to do. Really? When I contacted Zappos, they provided GREAT customer service and sent a replacement pair. In conclusion, the shoes were very comfortable but my pair were poorly made and I learned the manufacturer didn't have great customer service.
