Customer Reviews Ryka Devotion XT

I loved all the options of colors you get to choose from but that's as far as the excitement goes. Sadly to say, they are not great to do HIIT workouts in. Way to much room in the front of shoe, making my workout unstable. Back of foot feels like it's gonna come out of shoe while doing burpees or plank Jack's. Just not a very supportive shoe. I find a leather, more solid shoe works better than the mesh kind for these workouts.

I have been satisfied wearing Ryka Sky Walk for several years and thought I would purchase Devotion XT training shoe. I found that the shoes were short in the toe section and am in the process of returning them. I am disappointed that I can not order without trying shoes on.

My last pair of Rykas I purchased after extensive review for a sneaker where my feet wouldn't hurt after a lot of walking and they were awesome. This pair I wore and didn't walk as much as I usually do and my foot had the usual ball of foot pain I get with all the other brands of sneakers I have tried. I wore my original pair of Rykas the next day and no foot pain. They look identical except for the color yet this pair is not the same.

Do not buy if you have wide feet. They are advertised as wide, they are NOT wide. Not even a little bit. I couldn’t get even close to getting my foot in. Beautiful coloring but very narrow

Although the footbed is comfortable for walking around, my foot does feel supported for the side to side movements during Jazzercise. The heel feels low on my foot and the tongue is not padded. These are not what I was looking for for Jazzercise.

I apparently bought the wrong shoe. There's another pair that I've purchased twice before that are more flat and do not cause knee pain as these do. I'm sure it's a good shoe for someone with a different... foot design, just not mine. Thanks

I've worn Ryka shoes for the studio for over 20 years and although Ryka shoes fit me great and they function well, the last three pairs I've gotten have had an issue with the sole peeling away at the outside middle. I successfully glued it back once. Also, bring back the mid-top that doesn't have velcro.

I bought these and when I rcvd. them and tried them on, they were NOTHING like the quality they had a couple years ago. the footbed is not the same, they must have changed manufacturers. they have sacrificed quality for profit.

I have worn Ryka's for close to 20 years. I have loved them except that the soles wear out too quickly. This is the first pair I have seen with no arch support. So I returned them. On the other hand, the dark blue color looks much better in the daylight than it does in the photo. .

These shoes have a lot of potential - they have a nice color combination, have removable insoles, fit a narrow foot with orthotics and have great cushion. However, the outer border of the sole is not flat but rather curved, especially on the heel. This makes for an odd wobbly feeling and the great potential for a turned ankle especially with lateral moves. So disappointed!

I bought these since cross trainers with cushioning are so difficult to find in other brands. I am looking for a shoe with good support and especially cushioning for high-impact aerobics as well as lateral support and not a very wide waffle or grip so that they move across the floor. These were great...at first...after only a few wears the foam seemed to already start breaking down and the support and cushioning went away! All in all, they feel cheaply made to me. I wish Ryka would add some good old rubber to the bottom to make them hold up better even if it does add a few ounces to the weight. I am going to back to ordering cross trainers from another company.

I bought these for jazzercise, and after a couple weeks the little rubber pieces on the soles started peeling up. It would create a flap that would trip me up while teaching classes. Not good. I sent them back and got a replacement, and they did the same thing after teaching one class. They are very supportive and cute, but I can't have shoes that fall apart like that. Still waiting on my refund for the second pair.

I love Ryka shoes and that is the only brand I will buy. This is the first pair I have not liked and am sending back. They were uncomfortable from the moment I put them on. I wore them around the house for a few hours and could not wait to remove them. My feet were very sore. I think for people with some fat on their feet, these could be good. I have very tiny feet- all skin and bone. So, they were not at all good for me - way to hard and stiff. I will stick with Ryka's memory foam shoes from now on.

I have been wearing these for only one month to teach Jazzercise and there are 2 triangle bottom sections that are coming unglued. This is the second pair of Ryka's to do this to me, the other was a different style. Still very disappointed.

I have been looking for something to better support the ball of my foot and the side to side motions we do a lot in Jazzercise. These shoes were too bulky when I tried them on so I am sending them back. It was great in theory to have an orthotic insert but it needs to be much thinner and the overall construction of the shoe lighter. I am a HUGE fan of Ryka and will continue to buy their shoes. Just not this one. The Influence 2.5 has been their best shoe yet for dance aerobics.
