I have worn the same size Ryka for years. On this particular style, my toes hit the end and the width was snugger than usual.

Good for the price! Have a very difficult time finding athletic shoes that are truly cut wide that are not extremely expensive, these fit perfectly. These have foam insoles and I'm not sure how long they will hold up with constant use; I'll find out. Don't breathe well, foot gets very hot.

The width of this shoe was okay but foot bed had zero cushion.

I wanted to like these as they look sharp in person, but they felt like there was actually too much foot bed padding to the point that my foot didn't feel like it could fit in the shoe. This is not something I've experienced before and I'm new to Ryka so this may be something in general with their shoes, or it could have been a one off for this particular shoe. Try them for yourself - they seem really attractive and they are certainly padded!

This sneaker is not as comfortable as I thought it would be. When I first tried them on, they felt pretty good, but after a 3 mile walk, not so much. I had to order larger than my normal shoe size as Ryka sneakers are now cut small, not true to size like they were when they were made in the USA.

I tried 3 sizes because my regular size 8 was too small. The 8.5 fit the best, but I decided I do better with a more structured shoe, so returned them. I loved the look of these shoes, and the arch was good.

I love everything about this shoe! The way it supports my feet, the way it grips the floor ( for non slip ) , all the way to the color of the shoes. The reason I gave it three stars is because of the memory foam insert. It makes my feet hot and sweaty. If it had the molded footbed insert it would be perfect.

I normally wear size 8W, and this 8W was the right length, but because the toe box is shaped more like an almond than I am used to, it didn't leave room for all my toes. My big toe and next two toes are the same length, so the toes were squished. It is a very pretty shoe, though. Lightweight.

Something is odd on right front toe, where leather is sewn to the mesh, I can feel it hit my big toe - as if the fabric isn't sewn flat. In case it's a matter of size, I've just ordered another 1/2 size up - but if it's like it on this pair too then it must be a defect. I don't feel it on the left shoe.

This shoe did fit beautifully, in terms of length and width, and I like the style and color very much. As others have said, however, they did not feel very supportive at all. The memory foam insole squashed down too far, and on one shoe I could actually feel the treads of the outsole from the inside. It’s too bad – they’re adorable!

These are really nice to look at, but for me, the arch support was not nearly what I hoped. Other Ryka have fit well, these, not so much. Hated to return them, so love Zappos!!

I have worn Ryka walking shoes for the past few years and I found them to be a perfect fit and very comfortable right away. The style I have been wearing was no longer available and so I tried these instead. I didn't realize they were running shoes and I found them to run smaller than my prior Rykas - both length and width. I do think they would be comfortable if they fit correctly but I am going to try another style that is closer to the walking shoes I owned previously. But these shoes are very cute and lightweight and would probably be great for runners - but I would suggest going up 1/2 size.

Not for someone with a high instep. These were long and wide enough....but not "deep" enough. If that makes any sense. The shoes look very nice but didn't fit the way I expected them to. Must return.

I bought these shoes for running and they are way to heavy for running shoes. I get the worst shin splints running with them.

Got the wide, but did not feel wide:(. Style is great, been looking for a black sneaker. Too bad for bunion/ganglion sufferers.

I bought these shoes to replace my other Rykas I use on the treadmill. First pair was white all leather.. received these and they are a mesh. I'm not a fan of mesh but everyone seems to be going to that. After looking it up I realized I was wrong but decided to keep them. They are ok and comfortable but shoe laces are really short. If I ordered again would probably try to get pair like the first pair I had.

This is my third pair of Rykas but is disappointing. From the very first time wearing them, the cushion inside the shoes, which is glued down, has not stayed in place, and as a result, I end up walking with the bunched-up fabric/memory foam under my heel and arch, which is more than a little annoying. It is as if the heat of my feet impacts the integrity of the glue. My socks end up sticky on the bottom too, and it doesn't wash out. I regularly "fix" the problem, but it just happens again. The shoe itself would garner praise, but the experience of walking miles with that uncomfortable footbed makes it a thumbs down.

Very disappointed. After only a couple of weeks the sole came lose and had to be glued back together.

I really liked the look of the shoe and how the left one felt on my foot. The right one never felt right. After wearing them twice I sent them back because the memory foam in the right shoe was crooked.

Disappointed. Did not deliver as advertised. Not for wide feet. Fit is tight, and uncomfortable. The insole constantly comes out when I take the shoes off. Like that they are lightweight.

I ordered a size 6 wide. The shoes came in a box that said 6 wide. The size on the inside tongue said the shoes are actually 7M! So no wonder they didnt fit!

The sneaker runs large. In addition, the memory foam cushion is actually uncomfortable after a bit of wear. I wore twice and then gave away.
