Customer Reviews Ryka Hydro Sport SLP - deleted

Overall the Hydro Sport Training Shoe works fine and is comfortable...but...I HATE the shoe laces. The laces don't tighten up well, they don't stay tied, and they're too long. I miss the old style from 2 or 3 years ago when the laces were more elastic, they didn't have to be tied, all you had to do was tighten the grommet piece. Once in awhile we need to take our shoes off during water aerobics and theses new shoes are a pain to get off and back on during a class. The old style worked great, always stayed snug on my feet. And because they won't stayed tied or out of the way, I have tripped a couple of times on these shoe laces. Hopefully I don't hurt myself!! I have been using Ryka water shoes for many years and they usually last me 2 or 3 years, but I don't know that I will want to use this pair for that long.

Has a toe drop (heel is higher than toe). This is bad for your feet. This made them extremely uncomfortable & I useable.

These shoes were slippery! Couldn't walk yet alone work out in them!

Bought these less than a month ago and the heel already has a hole. Really expected them to last a little longer with the price point being what it is. They're already unusable.

Bought this shoe for a river trip. Fit perfect, extremely comfortable, however, they did not hold up for one week! Would recommend for water aerobics, in pool only, and not for a rafting adventure with light hiking. Neither the seller or Ryka would stand behind the product, saying it could only be returned if it hadn't been worn! (and site won't let me add photo!)

I bought this shoe 3 weeks ago. The soles have little traction on the tiled portion of the pool lanes. My feet go out from under me whenever my shoes hit the tile lane markers. I did not experience slipping in my Land's End water shoes.

These shoes take in all the sand n shells i was trying to avoid with open shoes. Also when wet they rub and cause blisters! Terrible water shoes!!!

in less than a week the sole on the right shoe came unglued. I have yet to get a response on how te rectify this purchase. I will not purchase another pair from you. Poor quality.

Exchanging these because mesh area is uncomfortable (scratchy and too loose) in the water. This made them less supportive than past shoes. They also seemed slippery on the pool bottom. Also, I wish RYKA would go back to elastic ties!! I've owned at least 5 pairs of RYKA water shoes through the years. I usually like their support.

What happened to the elastic ties? When these shoelaces get wet it's a tug of war trying to get them untied and to these shoes off. I've been wearing Ryka water shoes for years but when I got my new ones you replaced the elastic ties with shoelaces. HORRIBLE change. Thank goodness I didn't throw out my worn out shoes before the new ones came and I put the old elastic laces on my new products. I would purchase the old ties if possible. I should have sent the shoes back.

I love Ryka's water shoes...except this new one. It lacks the padding found in former models of this shoe. The mesh is harsh on your skin and for me would cause blisters. I hope Ryka makes the style with more padding/cushioning all over, tongue included... similar to the original Hydro Sport water sneaker which I use regularly and love. I have encouraged women in my aquacise group to purchase Ryka water sneakers for years. I would not recommend this model. Please go back to manufacturing the comfy, but support filled style you were making.

too flimsy, no padding for heel, blister maker, no support, cheaply made, slipper sox would be its equal, so disappointed
