I love the Devotion x t shoes. This is my third pair. They have great cushioning that helps with running and jumping. The sole has a turning circle under the ball of the foot for turns, for example in dance classes. They provides support to all parts of my feet. The price is reasonable for such a great shoe. It lost a star because these 2023 shoes (black with purple trim) are not as comfortable around the ankle and in the toe box as my first pair from 2019 (navy with orange trim). I buy them half a size bigger than my street shoes.

Nice shoe but not for walking over two or three miles at a time. Feet sore after walking a 5k; back to Hoka's for sure. Will be a great casual shoe for knocking around though.

I needed new studio shoes - these are very comfortable and give good support - the only issue I have is they are a bit lose in the heel - tightening the laces helps (which are a tad short - I like to double knot) but if I tighten them too much, it will hurt my feet.

I've worn Ryka's Devotion XT for a couple of years but I returned this one because it did not have an Ortholite insole -- even tho the description on Zappos says there is one. I had noticed that the Ryka site doesn't say Ortholite insole this year for this style, so that's why I ordered them from Zappos. But, clearly, the insole that came with these is just Ryka's regular cheapie one. I will be calling Zappos to let them know.

I bought these shoes a few years ago for step classes. They definitely give me the support I need for this type of class. The pair I just bought were much bigger in the toe bed than my first pair which is why I gave four instead of five stars. I ordered a half size up which is my usual for a studio shoe.

I need a wider toe box area, though not a wider heel.

They look great but they are not as comfortable as I had hoped. After a run the padding feels pretty thin

The shoe looks great and is very supportive. I use it for HIIT workouts and it has plenty of cushion while still being flexible enough to move quickly. I do notice the heel slips a bit during certain movements like lunging and jumping. That's the only thing they kept them from being 5 stars for me.

I typically wear a 7 1/2 but know that these can come up smaller so bought an 8. They are comfortable they look nice however, as somebody has mentioned in previous reviews it is not the quality that it used to be. They do look quite plasticy.

They feel good and look fine; maybe not as super comfortable as the ones manufactured about 15 years ago -- then again maybe it's my feet. But I would buy them again.

These shoes fit me well after several tries with other brands. I got a 6-1/2 wide and probably should have gotten a 7 wide to accommodate a sock. Otherwise, the fit is great.

The shoe is light, the footbed fits well and is firm.

I purchased arch supports for these shoes because there is little to no arch support. Fortunately, the footbed is wide enough to allow the arch support I purchased to fit perfectly.

Comfortable, but a little narrow in the toe box for wide sized shoes.

Super comfortable, but not loving the style. My daughter felt the look was not so updated.

I really like the shoe. It has nice cushioning. The challenge is the width of the shoe. I am between medium and wide. I selected the wide but it is a little too wide for me, but it is worth the effort because it is comfortable otherwise.

I wish these shoes worked for me. The bottom sole would be perfect for Zumba because it has a slick pivot point that would be perfect for spinning. However I can't keep them because the ankle is so low that my heel almost slips out of the shoe with every step I take.

These are beautiful, light weight and yet sturdy, I play pickle ball with then and all was good, When I first put them on. I only wish is that the heel was a little more snugly for my foot, which is slim. But I kept them, hoping with socks it would work. I wore medium weight socks and I had no problem running after the ball when I missed it!

I love the look of these shoes. I need a shoe for Zumba that I can use with my own orthotic since I have plantar fasciitis. With the insert, the heal wants to slip off even with heel-lock lacing. Sadly, I have to return them.

Happy with this purchase. The shoe is a bit long, but allows for toe movement. Feels like good support and sufficient support for the cross training I do.

I bought these along with a pair of devotion 2 walking shoes to see which would work out best for my feet. These fit my feet perfectly after I switched out the insole with something with more arch support. Have been using them daily for 45-1.5 hour walks and workouts and for the first time in a long time I've found a shoe that doesn't stress my feet out. They feel great afterwards through to the next day with no cramping or tenderness. Well done Ryka! Would be great if we could purchase insoles separately too.
