Don't know how Ryka can call these a good walking shoe -- they're extremely cheap, non-supportive shoes. There is NO arch support, tho they claim there is. There is a tiny pad at the arch area, which we all know is not arch support at all. They're just squishy, unstable cheap shoes. I'm so disappointed, since I really was impressed with the Devotion 2 years ago.

The shoe is too flat, cant feel the cushioning at all. Very disappointed. Will be returning. Ryka fit is great though. I will try Ryka running shoes and hope for more comfort!

I was excited to try these shoes because of the reviews stating that it had a wide toe box and comparably narrower heel. I ordered my normal size of 8W and the shoe felt tight. Compared the bottom to my current 8W sneakers (Brooks) and discovered the Ryka was almost 1/2 an inch narrower in the toe box. Yes, the toe box is wider than the heel, but overall the shoe is not a true wide. Will be returning.

These were both narrower and shorter than a pair of Rykas I bought elsewhere recently. Too bad! They're cute. I may go for a larger or wider size later.

The style and the sizing are good with this shoe. It was wide enough to accommodate my bunions. However, there is not enough support in the sole for aerobic exercising, so I returned these shoes.

I have been a loyal Ryka fan for many years - this is the first time I have been very disappointed in the quality of shoes. I bought these shoes 2/27/19 and they are already starting to come apart (4/8/19). The rubber on the bottom of the sole is starting to peel off and if I stand with these shoes on for 15 mins my feet start to hurt - I have no Medical issues with my feet and I am in my late 20s. So sad the worst pair I've ever bought DO NOT buy sky walk walking shoes

I wanted to really like these shoes based on the other reviews, but honestly I don't. These fit weird. The left shoe is tight and the right one is loose, so much so that it eats my socks every time I wear them. (I own 2 other Ryka styles and this never happens with them or any other shoe I own, so it's clearly the shoe that's the issue). The memory foam is comfortable, but that is it's only redeeming factor.

The shoes are beautiful and fit fine, as I would expect since I have been wearing a pair of the same brand and size for years. I was excited to get them but when I put them on, something just didn't feel right. I took off the shoe and felt inside with my fingers and found a raised ridge along the inside edge of the shoe that hit right under my toes. With the shoe on, it felt like my sock was bunched up under my toes, which is very irritating. So I sent them back. Wish it had turned out differently. I really wanted to like them.

I love Ryka but this one style is just not supportive at all. I don’t need a lot of support on my feet but I must say my flip flops are more comfy than these. They do look amazing though!

The length and width are fine, but there is almost no arch support. I have almost flat feet, and the shoe is gapping around the middle. While initially very comfortable because of the cushioning, after a few hours' wear, my heels were sore to stand on. Not sure how long I'll actually wear these... will likely go back to my ASICS.

I had high hopes for these but they were Not comfy. For me, they needed a lot more padding under the front of the sneaker and back of the sneaker. Really they just needed more cushion. I felt like I was walking with nothing on my feet. SO sad sent them back.

I was looking for a gray walking shoe with gray soles and subtle color accents. These fit the bill, or so I thought. They do look great. I wore them for an evening while I was shopping and they seemed ok, although I was not overly thrilled with the memory foam insole as it compressed after I wore them a while and then they didn't provide as much cushioning for the bottom of my feet. I replaced the insoles the next day with better ones. and stupidly decided to walk to the post office to mail a letter (about 3 miles round trip). That was a very bad decision. I was walking at a faster pace than when I was shopping and I noticed they were rubbing on my heels. Normally Ryka shoes fit me very well, but these seemed too big. I stopped and tightened the shoelaces as much as I could to prevent the slipping, but that only helped a little. I mailed the letter then stopped at a nearby store and bought some different socks that are more cushioned and some band-aids for my heels, but by then I already had blisters on both heels. I tried to call my husband to pick me up so I wouldn't have to walk home in these shoes, but he didn't answer his phone, so I had to make that very painful walk back home. Needless to say, it will be difficult to wear any shoes until the blisters heal.
I'm very disappointed with how these shoes fit compared to other Ryka walking shoes I normally get. I wear a 6.5 and maybe a 6 would have fit better, but I don't want to pay that much to buy a different size to find out.
I have both the Dash 2 and the Dash 3 and they both fit very well and are very comfortable. The Dash 2 is no longer available and the Dash 3 comes in gray, but only with a white sole and hot pink trim, which is ok or some situations, not for others.
I know a lot of people love these shoes, but unfortunately, the fit didn't work for me.

The front part of the shoe where your toes and ball of foot goes, is bigger than my other shoes and there was an uncomfortable fold.

These look great and would be wonderful IF the interior, or where the foot goes, had the usual amount of space. There is a padded foot bed added which uses up a lot of the room where my foot belongs. Therefore, it doesn't fit at all. Too bad as I have loved these in the past.

This shoe was disappointing. I bought it as a walking shoe but the thick, cushy padding cannot disguise the overall lack of support in the heels and arches. The pointed toe style also robs your foot of at least a half size in the length. By the time I'd walked 5 miles my heels felt bruised and my left big toe was rubbing on the end of the shoe.

At first I thought these were super comfortable, but then I realized that they were way too wide. My foot felt like it was rocking side to side because of the width.

I ordered this item in wide, but they felt too tight immediately. I ended up giving these to my sister whose shoe size is smaller than mine.

Loved the look of the shoe, the color, and how light weight the shoe is. But once you put them on the insole does not cover the entire surface of the shoe. If you put your hand inside the cushioned insole stops about a 1/2 inch. So my toes hung off the end. I could not imagine walking in these. Sad they are really nice looking.

In November, 2017, I purchased two pairs of the Ryka Skywalkers - Navy and Black. They were not worn outside during the harsh winter weather,and I have just now started taking walks in them. I was very disappointed today to find the seam above the laces unraveled on one show;and when I put the shoe on the tongue fell out! Needless to say the shoe is unwearable after 6 months of sporadic wear. The other three shoes look practically brand new. Not happy with the quality control!

I purchased this shoe online because the store did not have the size I needed.
The shoe tongue digs into the muscle/tendon that connects the foot to the ankle. When I tried the shoe on at the retail store, this was not a problem.
I will have to return the shoes, but will keep looking because I love the Ryka brand.

I need more lift in the heel than this shoe provides. Didn't care for the memory foam, which is quite thin and doesn't provide much cushioning or arch support. Returned the shoes.

Ryka has been my favorite brand of walking shoes for over a decade, but this pair changed that for me. The memory foam that was stitched to the footbed of this shoe was very uncomfortable on my foot. In addition, a favorite aspect of this brand has been a roomy toe box, but this shoe did not feel that way to me in comparison to all the previous pairs I have worn. This style was so uncomfortable for me that I returned it after the first time of trying it on. I am very disappointed.
