I ordered these because they came in a wide width. I'm sending these back because they are not wide, feels like a tight regular width shoe to me. The styling is nice and they appear to have good arch support but they are very narrow.

Shoe arrived in 2 days. Unfortunately the shoe rubs on my ankle bone and will need to be returned.

The cushioning does not last. I can no longer wear these shoes because the heel cushioning has completely collapsed. They have been worn for a while and the rest of the shoe looks almost like new, but now my heels hurt when wearing them.

I was excited to get this shoe after reading all the reviews. However, I am very disappointed. The memory foam is nice but that is the only cushion. I can feel every pebble and dent in the pavement. I can casually walk for about 30 minutes before my feet hurt, not what you should get out of a brand new tennis shoe.
I have only had the shoes for a week and already the insole of the right shoe has come loose and comes out each time I take the shoe off. I would like to return them but the box(es) have already been thrown away.
These may be good shoes for someone who isn't very active, but I do not recommend it if you even walk for light exercise and certainly not if you walk for your job.

I always wear Ryka. They are the only sneaker that fits me properly. I was disappointed with these because I felt the sole wore very quickly. I ordered these from another website in another color with the same result. perhaps they were discounted because of this issue.

Loved the colors of this shoe and had high hopes it would fit my wide feet with bunions. Unfortunately it was tight, and if there were a size larger than W I would have exchanged it rather than returning it.

The wide is still too narrow and I don't normally wear a wide shoe. I also don't like that the toes don't have as much padding as the rest of the foot. The arch support seemed to stand up and i loved the color.

Loved the shoe. Lots of comfort, however, felt like the heel went down when I walked. almost like walking heel, toe. That was uncomfortable.

I thought they would work well for my wide feet. The toe box width was nice, but the heel was too wide and my heel was slipping about. Also, there is a seam where the memory foam ends, and the bottoms of my toes hit the seam. I think they would be bothersome with long-term wear.

Disappointed in this shoe, but no biggie--with Zappos' great service, I'll return it and try again.

I really wanted to like these shoes but I ended up returning them. They are cute and the memory foam sole feels great at first. Unfortunately as I walked around a raised seam along mg the outside of the sole kept rubbing my foot. I knew if I wore them for a long period, that area would be bruised.

I read the reviews and thought I had found the perfect walking sneaker. But I was wrong. There is a space between the pillow insole and the back of the shoe and after 20 minutes of wearing them at home, I had an irritation on both heels. Never before has this happened with sneakers and I hope never again. I am returning them. Another reviewer had the same problem but with the toe area.

The length seemed a little short. Padding was excellent. Look is good.

1st I got 7 then decided to try 71/2 since 7 seemed to hit L toes on the side. normally I take 7 in athletic shoes. both the 7 and 71/2 have something sharp poking the bottom of my L foot near the heel area. (rubber area on sole where light blue diamond type shape thing is next to heel) perhaps there is a metal bar of some sort in that area. the pink and orchid ones I have of the skywalk don't do that.

The fit is narrower and shorter than the styles I worn for the last several years. I have several foot problems and it makes my feet feel 'bruised' after wearing for several days straight. Would recommend them but only with the above warning on fit.

Very disappointed with the quality of these shoes. I have been wearing Ryka shoes for the last almost 13 years. Recently each time I get a pair of shoes they seem to get smaller and smaller each time. When I lace up the shoes my socks seem to show threw either side of the tongue of the shoe. and it does not seem to matter which style I get. Seems to be sending production over seas has not been a plus. I would pay more for the shoes if it meant the quality was going to go back to what it was almost 13 years ago.

It's a great shoe, if you don't need a lot of cushion. I can't wear them all day. My feet started hurting after an hour.

I like the way these shoes look, and they are relatively comfortable. However, I find that my knees hurt when I wear these to work. (My knees act if I am wearing shoes that do not have good support.)

Shoes are great. Website sucks.Very hard to navigate. Old site was more user friendly. I could not find the help icon to get a return label. Next time I will just call.

The insole was fabulous, forming to your foot, but the right shoe only didn't have the insole go all the way to the edges, so my toes felt the drop-off. Also, there was ZERO arch support.

There is absolutely no bottom to this shoe when I walked I felt every bump and pebble I stepped on. Very disappointed because I love the style.

I am a nurse, and after a 13+ hour day, my feet never hurt when wearing my Rykas. I have bunions and narrow heels, meaning I have that lovely triangle shaped foot that is so hard to fit in shoes, but my previous Rykas fit great. I had two pairs of Ryka Assist XT2 and have been very pleased. Unfortunately, that model has been discontinued. I can always use more room for my toes, so I ordered a wide width in the Sky Walk. Unfortunately, the wide width in the Sky Walk seems narrower than the medium in the Assist. I'm really disappointed. I'm going to try another model and size up to 7.5. Crossing my fingers!

For some reason, these shoes hurt my shins during my walk. They are fairly comfortable, with a wide toe area that made them feel a touch too big. They are cute enough i'll wear them throughout the day, but I cannot get through my daily walk in them.

Fit is a little odd. The arch support seems off. Took some time to get use to. They do not look as good in person. If I had to do again I would not buy. The fit is ok and the style is ok. I expect more from Ryka as I have been wearing them for years.

Shoe fit more like an 8. Had too much space at end of toe. Loved the shoe but I think a 7 will be too small. Other than that, these are very nice.
