Love these shoes! I have been wearing Mid Top Ryka's for years but just tried this version. They have great cushioning for high impact aerobics such as Strp and Zumba. Only thing I would change is the lacing. It does not go all the way up the ankle. I have to adjust the Velcro strap and the tightness of the lacing halfway through my classes. Inconvenient but the support and cushioning are worth it. Ryka, please change the lacing on the next version of the Devotion and this would be the perfect workout shoe.

I bought this shoe before and am buying again only because the hightop tenacity is not available. The ideal would be a hybrid with the hightop style of the tenacity and the bottom of the DevotionXT. This would provide all around support.

Very cute shoe and wanted to like them. Was looking for ankle support and a good wide shoe for circuit workouts. Problem was the material of the shoe itself felt a bit like cardboard and just wasn't comfortable. The footbed and arch support were fine and the width was great.

The shoes are great for ankle support during at-home exercise dance class (YouTube). However, the smell of the materials is still lingering even after having been used and sitting near a window! Other than the smell, the product(as far as I can tell) may need some wearing in so that my right foot toes don't go numb.

I love these sneakers! The look, and comfort are the best. I've purchased four pair, so far, as I love everything about them. The durability leaves room for improvement. The mesh and decals wear abnormally fast.

I use this shoe for Jazzercise (5x) week. I like this shoes traction, ankle support, & forefoot cushion. The heel bottom of the heel could use a little less cushioning, and the ball of the foot could use a little more. I have rheumatoid arthritis, and the
more "cushion when I'm dancing " is a plus. I'm pleased with this shoe, going to get several pairs

I am a big fan of these shoes and I own them in multiple colors. Great fit, comfortable out of the box, nice quality. I teach dance fitness and they are one of the few shoes I don't have to buy special inserts for. The only thing that is stopping me from giving them 5 stars is the plastic triangular lace holders at the top - I have had a few break and then it's difficult to wear the shoes. This is the only thing I wish were made better on these shoes. Otherwise they are fabulous.

Finally a shoe I can wear in my true size! They really hug my ankle with the velcro and this toe box is roomy and comfortable. I usually wear a size larger to give my toes room to splay. My heels were always slipping and causing blisters. These shoes are one of the best fitting I've ever had. Durability, only time will tell.

These are very comfortable shoes, by far the most cushiony with very shock absorbable soles. The only drawback I found is that they are so wide, I've actually tripped over my own feet in them at zumba. Don't order a wide unless you really really need to - I thought I had a wide foot - but not this wide. If I try these shoes again, I'll go for the normal width. So, very comfortable, very shock-absorbant, but kind of boxy and big.

This is my second pair of these shoes.
I like the supportive ankle and the great arch support and sole that gives me great bounce for Zumba !

Look cool. Extremely lightweight and comfortable. I would like to see more ankle support and the laces don't like to stay tied tight. These are pretty good, but I like my Ryka Tenacious hightops better. More ankle stabilizing and easier to keep tied.

I like Ryka athletic shoes. These mid rise are cute and very comfortable. Not as much cushion in the ball of the foot area as other Ryka shoes, but the heel area is very well supported. And, of course, Zappos customer service is excellent. I ordered two widths, regular and wide, and found the regular to be very generous so I didn’t need the wider shoe.

I've lost cartilage between bones in my foot and ankle and it has been very painful to walk. Was hoping these shoes would provide some stability and they do. Can walk a lot better with them. Would like the velcro strap to be a bit longer to make it easier to fasten.

Ordered a 9.5D which felt extra roomy - almost too much but then I tightened the laces around the toe box and it felt better. I wear a 9.5D in Asics - This shoe felt a little long but I thought if I ordered a 9 it might be too short after my foot swelled a bit. I love the comfort of this shoe! I tried a Ryka studio shoe before (low cut) and it wasn't as cushy - nor did it fit quite right. I feel I will get lots of use out of this one for my studio classes. Much improved!

I loved the look of this shoe, unfortunately, it was not wide enough for feet. No problem with Ryka, I just need to know the right size to order. Called customer service, and with no hassle, I was sent a return slip. I will go to a store that sells Ryka in my area, and find out my true size. Then I can order on line!

I really like the shoe, the fit is good, however the right shoe seems to hit my ankle in the wrong place and may cause a problem. I may send them back, can't see wearing something that won't feel good. I wore the Ryka high top for several years in the past, and wanted to try them again but I am not sure these will work. I need complete comfort in my aerobics class. The color is fun though. I am an older woman, 76 to be exact, and my feet have probably changed since the last time I wore the Ryka high top.

I USUALLY WEAR A 10 IN ATHLETIC SHOES. MY OTHER RYKA STYLES I WEAR A 10. IN THIS SHOE I WEAR A 10.5. MY FOOT IS NARROW THI SHOE IS A LITTLE WIDE I HAVE TO WEAR THICK SOCKS. THE CUSHION IS OK. I HAVE PAIN IN THE BALL OF MY FOOT. I HAVE BEEN USING THESE TO DO MY BEACH BODY WORKOUTS. I WAS HOPING THIS WAS A MIDRISE SHOE. BUT ITS NOT REALLY. THERE IS NO ANKLE SUPPORT. THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE 4 STARS.
