Ordered in my usual Ryka size and width (wide, due to bunions). They are very lightweight, but do not have as much cushioning as the Devotion shoe. The Plus 2 is also wider than the Devotion, so will try the medium width.

I started with a half size smaller which was fine but will be having surgery on big toe so went up a half size. Lots of room and very comfortable.

Read reviews that advised to go down half size & glad I did. Love the comfort toe box width & arch support. Shoes are very lightweight and still sturdy.

Based on other reviews, I thought this shoe might work well for me. I have a wide instep (bunions) and a narrow heel. Unfortunately the fit was quite narrow through the instep for me, and overall felt smaller than the marked size. The shoes had to go back.

Love these shoes which I use for walking. I had a comparable pair of walking shoes from Ryka and after about 2 years I had worn them out. I also like how lightweight they are and how the fabric is breathable. And you can't go wrong with the fun color combinations avalilable!

I love these shoes. I have a foot that swells daily so I always choose lace-up shoes. These shoes are so comfortable they didn't need to be broken in. It's like walking on air. There is great support, breathable, and very stylish. I'm actually looking forward to wearing them to walk the many miles in Disneyworld. The only issue I had is that the seam by the toe has a loose stitch. I don't have time to return them so I put a little glue to hopefully hold it. I'm very glad I googled "best shoe for walking on concrete".

My first pair of Rykas. I currently have New Balance athletic shoes but wanted a lighter weight walking shoe. I have a narrow foot but the Rykas do have a narrow heel and they seem to fit pretty well. I did have to go up half a size over my normal shoe size. I don't know how well they will wear but they weren't super expensive.

I had got a pair for Christmas in a different color. I loved them so much, I had to buy another pair. The anatomical heel structure makes it super comfortable to wear. I'm on my feet all day and I also walk to work, so a good shoe is a must. Would buy again and definitely recommend.

I first discovered the Ryka Devo plus 2 a couple of years ago and I bought the teal/gray and the Navy/pink. Since that time I have gone on to buy every single color they've ever made in these shoes and would continue to buy them for the rest of my life if they keep making them the way they're currently made. They are so comfortable, they fit my foot perfectly, and they are great looking. One of the things I've discovered about getting older is that it becomes harder and harder to wear fancy dress shoes, and luckily I work at a place where wearing attractive sneakers is okay.

This is my second & third pair of Ryka's. I wish I'd tried them sooner. They're so comfortable and don't require to be "broken in" .... I ordered Wide width & it seems a little too roomy but not uncomfortably so. I absolutely love them!!

I got these for my daughter in the Medieval Blue color. It's prettier in person than in the photo- there is some iridescence and a hint of purple. Good basic athletic shoe especially for the price.

Beautiful, comfy sneaker! Unlike some other Rykas, you need to order a half size larger than your regular shoe size on the Devotion Plus 2. In Ryka Dominion, for example, I wear my normal shoe size of 9 1/2, but for the Devotion, I need a 10 -- which is true for most sneakers. Beautiful colors!

I loved these shoes right out of the box. The fit was fantastic. Nice to find a wide width shoe with some color.
Unfortunately, the construction did not hold up. Within 3 months the sole began to separate on one shoe and broke apart on the other shoe. Both shoes make a squishing sound if the soles get damp, very annoying when walking around. I do buy my shoes for work so they probably withstand a little more abuse than average but this is the first pair of shoes that I will be replacing due to construction rather than lack of support. All of my Nike's make it a year and still looked better than these.

I've had 2 pairs of these already, I have another brand new in the closet waiting for me, and I'm thinking of ordering yet another pair in a different color.
Pros:
-They're really comfy for everyday walking, etc. I even use them to train in.
-lightweight, good for travelling
-They're pretty inexpensive.
-They come in lots of colors.
-They're good for people with wider feet
-They'll need replacing before they start to hurt and do damage to your foot. (It's a pro, really.)
Cons:
-They may not last as long as you hope. I mean, the shoe in general lasts pretty well, but my first pair got a hole in the right big toe around month 9. My second pair is now 8 months old and again, I have a hole in the right big toe. I always wear socks and keep my nails trimmed short because I workout a lot, so I have no idea what's up with the wearing out in that one spot, on that one shoe. They say you should replace your workout/running/daily walking shoes every year and these certainly make that necessary.
-The laces! OMG I can't keep them laced to save my life! Doesn't matter how hard I knot them, or even double knot them, about 15 minutes later, whether on a treadmill or on the street, they'll need to be retied. Really a pain. I'm switching to Lock Laces just for these shoes. Crazy how slippery the laces are. (This has happened on both pairs so far and I have no reason to think they'll be any different on future pairs). I've also noticed that the lace lengths vary by pair. My first pair had short laces and I thought that was why they came untied all the time, but my current pair has pretty long laces - long enough to allow double knotting.
-Also I've noticed on this second pair that the design decal on the left shoe is coming off by where my foot flexes.
-They're not waterproof at all. If you spill water on your foot while filling up the cat's water bowl, your foot will be wet. If you see a puddle and hope it's not deeper than your sole when you go through it, your foot will be wet. If it rains heavily... well you get the idea. Sunny, dry days only for these ones.
I have had bunion surgery on my right foot and I have wider feet, so it's sometimes hard to find shoes that work well for me. I had Brooks Glycerine 13 and loved them, but at about exactly a year I started having other foot problems resembling plantars fasciitis and so I tossed the shoes. They've changed the fit of the newer models of Brooks, so I went to these Ryka and after some time (a few months) my foot problems went away and I love these shoes! So what if they don't last quite as long, they're half the price of the Brooks and wear out faster visibly before foot problems start.
I've put over 650 miles walking on a treadmill, 108 hours weightlifting and 8 months of walking around town and travelling to various countries around the world on these shoes, I don't think they owe me much.

I had never heard of this brand before, but stumbled on them while vainly shopping for athletic shoes to fit my fit that are wide at the toe but much narrower at the heel. I had been wearing old New Balance that fit very well, but I couldn't find that same style or others with the same fit. These Rykas fit very well. They aren't too long. They give my toes wiggle room, and for the first time, my pinky toes aren't already stretching the shoe material. They don't slip up and down on my heel. I think they have pretty good arch support. The sockliner, especially at the heel, is very smooth and cushy, which is a pleasant change from shoes that have stiff, rough material at the heel. The insoles are cushiony without being memory foam (I hate how memory foam collapses so soon, providing no support). I like the bounce from the springy soles. I got the black/purple/teal color, and they are very pretty and feminine. I especially like how some of the details on the shoes are almost opalescent, changing hues depending on how the light touches them. All in all, a very pretty effect. So far, I enjoy wearing them! Hopefully they wear well...

I have flat, wide feet. I like Ryka Devotion to wear in the warmer month. It's lightweight and comfortable. But, having a mesh body it gives no support where I need it. I slip in my orthotics and get along all right. I normally wear a size 7 1/2 but tried this 8 W, hoping to get the width I need. No luck. the sole is no wider. There just seems to be more fabric in the body which doesn't make a size W. I have respected Ryka as a trustworthy shoemaker but am dismayed at this fake size wide.

I usually wear the Ryka Devotion in a size 7 1/2 which is just a lit snug on my longest toe. So I tried the size 8. I have plenty of room, a little extra actually. I just wear thicker sox with the size 8. This shoe has a mesh body so it's cooler in summer - but - I find no support for my needy feet. Mesh does nothing in that area. The sole is lightweight and wears well.

I am a preschool music teacher, and I dance and march and hop all day. I am also 62 and have a very wonky right foot (bunions on both my big and little toes as well as related toe problems). I need shoes that are extremely comfortable and supportive, and I am so grateful I found these Rykas! They come in a variety of pretty color combinations, and they're not cheap but they are worth every penny!

I loved the look and feel of the shoe(nice bouncy feeling ) however the wide felt narrow to me. I wear a 10W If they have it in extra wide I'd be happy. I have foot problems, so I appreciate a good shoe.
