Customer Reviews Ryka Devotion Plus 2

I adore these shoes, but they have a fatal flaw. So first of all: they fit me perfectly (and I'm a 9W, so it's hard to find shoes that fit right), felt incredibly supportive, and were my favorite shoes ever to do Zumba in. The second I put them on I felt ready to go. In fact, I love them so much that I bought two pairs in the exact same style in the space of a year. BUT. I've discovered that after a few months the rubber on the bottom starts to stink like vinegar or cat pee. When this happened with my first pair, I assumed my actual cat had actually peed in them and I washed them with baking soda, but it didn't work, so I wrote them off and bought a second pair. But then a few months later (after being very careful to always store them in the closet in a room the cat isn't allowed in), the same thing happened. It's not the sole or the fabric that stinks, mind you, just the rubber on the bottom. I ran the second pair through four or five washes and once let it soak for hours in oxyclean, to no avail. I'm so sad that I'll have to look for a new brand of shoe now--if these didn't have that one smelly flaw, they'd be perfect. I hope the manufacturer figures out what's going on (maybe the rubber breaks down or something after some use?) and fixes it so I can buy these again.

From the moment you put these shoes on they will be comfortable and ready to go! You can't go wrong plus they are as cute as can be!

I ordered a 9 1/2 and it was too small. I then ordered a 10 and it was too big. Besides the size problems, both shoes bent awkwardly at the toes digging in as I walked. I really wanted to like these shoes. So much so that I went to my local DSW and tried them on again with the same results. Very attractive shoe, but unfortunately they didn't work for my feet.

I am using gel insoles in shoes but find that I can be on my feet for 8 plus hours on concrete and no pain! The shoes are very cushy , plenty of room for inserts.

The size seemed okay. I ordered a wide, little too big in the mid. But overall it didn’t feel like a great quality shoe.

I have just purchased my third pair! If you are ever discontinuing this shoe you need to tell me so I can order and hoard. I walk 3-4 miles a day on sidewalks so I wear through them fairly quickly and I just keep reordering. Thank you for this great shoe!!!!

These shoes are perfect...very good support! Love love love the Ryka brand!

The Devotion Plus RE-Sorb sole is the best thing that you have and had going for you and what sets your shoes apart on the market. What your internal issues are to explain why this element has disappeared from most of you shoes is beyond me and a critical error. Maybe someone who is not an athlete made this poor decision - I would be willing to pay more for the shoe as long as it has the RE-Sorb inner sole. And - bring back the white Devotion Plus with the RE-Sorb sole. Most of your color combinations are just not acceptable - design errors.

They fit so much better than a unisex shoe since these are made for women. I wear them daily; they're very comfortable. This is my second pair of this particular style and I will likely purchase them again.
