Customer Reviews Ryka Devotion Plus 2

This is a very stylish shoe. I ordered the teal colored shoe. The shoe felt a half size small and narrower than I expected. I reordered; hopefully

I really liked these and wore them for over a year. But had a foot injury and had to ditch them for a more cushioned Hoka after doctor recommended. These are not really cushiony at all

Great shoe. Other than trying it out in the house I really haven’t been able to wear it much. I need to order a size up due to my left foot. Otherwise looking forward to getting the size , and start wearing these all the time.

The shoes are very comfortable with good arch support. I have a wide toe base and narrow heels but these fit well and do not slip. The only negative is that my big toe made a hole in the shoe fabric, and the soles seem to wear out faster than other brands. I did purchase a second pair because of the comfort.

I have wide feet, falling arches and arthritic knees so finding a shoe with proper arch support and fit is critical but also challenging. Have always done well with New Balance, but wanted to try something a little more attractive for a vacation where I knew there would be a lot of walking involved. Gave these a try - ordered a half size larger based upon reviews (usually a 7 1/2, ordered an 8) which was a good call. I was pleasantly surprised when these fit so well right out of the box! I prefer the flexibility of mesh (also, leather gets so hot), but recognize that mesh uppers don't tend to have the same durability so don't last as long. Walked about 20 miles over three days and I was astonished that these fit so well and that my feet and knees did not hurt at the end of the day! The only downside is that the plastic/vinyl reinforcement strip around the shoes began separating almost immediately out of the box. This hasn't been a huge deal and doesn't cancel out how comfy they are, but honestly quality control should be revisited as this is unacceptable for brand new shoes. Note: I've read people who've said these don't do well when wet but mine have yet to get wet so I cannot weigh in on that potential issue. Overall, I am pleased and will order again as the fit and support were truly fantastic.

I’m sorry, it’s not an attractive shoe.

I sized up half a size and that was perfect. Very comfortable shoes and I’m very satisfied.

These shoes are so light and comfortable right out of the box and I have hard to fit feet! The only downside is that the tongue floats free except at the very bottom and get bunched up on the sides. I have to take special care to make sure it is laying flat or it becomes irritating. If they could fix that, these would be perfect!

Fit was good and they are very pretty, however I don't like the uneven, bubbly is the only way to describe, the soles AND the lacing system is a horrible design. There aren't eyelets, there are tunnels and it is hard to pull through to get a snug fit.

Cute shoe and fit my wide foot well, I ordered a wide to accomodate my wider right foot as well as the orthotics I insert. Perfect fit with plenty of spaces including at the toes. I very nearly kept these but noticed a slight over pronation on the right side that I knew would lead to a knee problem. Had to return.

I usually wear a 9 in pretty much any brand, but Ryka runs small. I ordered this pair in 9.5, and they are a good fit. They have a roomy toe box, and nice cushioning in the heel and metatarsal area. I have high arches and would like more support, but these are better than most. One rather odd thing; they sort of "clunk" when I walk, meaning that the sole doesn't roll smoothly heel to toe. However, the rest of the features made them worth keeping.

I already owned one pair of this shoe and really liked it, so ordered two more pairs. Would definitely recommend!

This is an attractive, lightweight shoe with good cushioning and for me, good support against my tendency to pronate. My usual size in athletic shoes is 8 WW, which Ryka does not have, so I ordered the 8/12 W. The width is fine but the shoes felt a tiny bit loose, so I put another insole underneath the removable one and laced them up tight and they fit better.

Best walking shoes I've owned. I always used Asics running shoes for walking but noticed that my back would hurt (probably too high of a heel for just walking.) This Ryka shoe is amazing. I can wear it all day and never get tired. Very good cushioning. Only nit I have is that the shoelaces are small and a bit hard to lace. After six months I thought it might have lost some cushioning, but I went to the store and tried on a new exact same shoe and the cushioning felt identical to the ones I had been wearing for months! Definitely will buy again.

This is a very comfortable shoe but if you ever need to replace the shoelaces , it is very hard to relace. Look carefully at the picture in close-up. The laces don’t go through holes but through slots. Really fiddly. It took me almost 10 minutes.

Loved the shoes when I first received them, they just did not last very long. Started getting holes and showing definite wear within 2 months of receiving them.

Sadly the Ryka Devotion Plus 2 has a tremendous drawback -- it out-gases a powerful headache inducing plastic-chemical smell! It was so bad I had to keep them in the garage after opening the box. Several days of leaving them outside on a sunny wall has diminished the smell somewhat but not entirely. I've never experienced this before with sneakers -- way, way beyond normal new sneaker smell. First time trying Ryka and I will scurry back to Asics.

I get so annoyed when a style I like is superceded- I really liked Ryka Devotion, which has a "waist" at the center of the foot, that is both flattering and supportive, with exterior "struts" to help support the arch. This Devotion Plus 2 looks clunkier and wider and has little support.

I loved the look of the shoe so I read the reviews. The said to order a 1/2 bigger as it runs small. I didn’t find that to be the case. It was far to large and the arch’s in it didn’t work well with my foot. I was pretty bummed that they had to be returned.

Not nearly as comfortable as the Devotion. Something got lost in the "upgrade." If you have a neutral or overpronating foot, this shoe is not for you.
