Customer Reviews Ryka Devotion XT

I bought these at scheels for training on a mat about maybe two months ago. I liked the shoes at first, but I'm very unimpressed with the quality. Worn down very quickly! They were comfortable shoes just unhappy with how long they lasted.

The left side fits great, but there's something a little different about the right side. It seems a little stiffer on one spot which feels a little weird when you bend your foot. I waited so long for them to be delivered that I didn't feel like waiting any longer for an exchange or return so I still workout in them.

I much preferred the Enhance 3 style shoe I had until recently. I liked the higher ankle support which is missing on the Devotion XT.

These shoes are really comfortable and have great support. However, I had to send them back. I am a Zumba instructor and I need a shoe that will allow me to twist without hurting my knees. The pivot circle did not work for me.

I bought 2 pairs of Devotion XT, one in Navy and then I ordered one in Black. The Navy pair is fantastic. It is extremely comfortable and works really well in Zumba classes. It has an awesome cushion feeling for jumps and lunges and pivots extremely well. The black pair I bought, however, has an issue with the right heel. The heel tab is slightly off center and bends forward. It pulls the ankle sock down and is extremely annoying and uncomfortable. The left shoe is fine, but you need the pair to workout in.

I have this same shoe in blue from 2 years ago. It is much better made. This one tends to run wide.

So bummed with the lack of cushion in these shoes and how much the heel slips! When the shoes eventually got here (I think they walked themselves from California to New Hampshire) I was excited to try them on. I know the return policy says that once they are worn for exercises you can't return them. So I jumped and danced around the house, trying to mimic some of the Zumba moves I would be doing later in the day. I noticed the heel slip during this trial, but thought I would just wear thicker socks and tighten the laces as tight as they would go. Cut to my Zumba class. After about 15 minutes of Zumba I could feel the contours of the sole of the shoe. The cushion in the toes are a bare minimum. Dance and Zumba require you to be on your toes quite a bit. This is extremely disappointing as now I cannot return them, but instead am on a search to find insole that will provide the proper cushion. Who knows, maybe I'll find something for the heel slip as well. The colors are great, just like what is advertised, and the laces stay tied (these are the only reasons the shoe doesn't receive a 1 star rating)

I tried them on and returned them. I ordered a wide size, since I have bunions. However, this pair in Wide is actually narrower in the toe box than my old Devotions, which are a medium width. Quality control seems nonexistent. Waiting for my refund.

I bought this shoe last year and it is by far the best fitness/training shoe I ever purchased. I have really bad Achilles tendinitis and most every shoe will aggravate it to the point where I cannot consistently work out. But not this shoe! It is low and cut out in the ankle area perfectly so it doesn't rub that tendon but still provides really great stability for my ankle. It is really light and stylish and I love that Ryka supports women.

Excellent shoe! Love it! Comfortable, supportive and looks good with anything. Great for Zumba! And you are supporting women who are working for women!

The shoe doesn't have to be broken into when you first use it. It has great arch support and it doesn't pinch anywhere. It feels like as if the shoe was molded after my feet. Very comfortable and my knees doesn't hurt even after doing an extensive plyometric workout and dancing.

My arches are low so the support in this shoe makes it so much easier to walk for longer periods of time and more often. They are very breathable and my feet never get sweaty. The most comfortable shoes I have ever owned

I love the product. The sneaker is wonderful and fits my foot beautifully. Unfortunately, I am returning a pair. of Influence which do not fit as good as the Devotion XT. My exercise teacher told me about the Devotion XT and she wears them too! Unfortunately, I cannot purchase another pair of Devotion XT, as you do not have any in size 8.5. I am sending them out today and will be in touch once a new supply of 8.5 come in. Thank you, Catherine
