These fit really well but when I started to walk I noticed the toe box was just slightly short and I could feel my big toe hitting the very edge of the seam. I know over a short period of time it will rub or cause soreness.

Very comfy, but they run small. I purchased another pair one size up and they are wonderful!

This shoe seemed like it would be the winner for me, but for its price point the quality comes up short. First, I teach fitness and look for stability yet a little bit of cushioning for high impact moves. The Vivid's sole feels like cardboard and there isn't enough room to add your own insole. Second, the material itself feels very flimsy to me and I could imagine laces ripping through after a few tugs. Lastly, for some reason these shoes really rub on the back of my foot and I've never had that happen with a workout shoe before.

I love the look of this shoe. I wanted a simple black/white that fit like my first pair of Rykas (the Vida RZX black/gold). While I did keep this shoe, it is a tad bit shorter in length and doesn't have as much space in the toe box. The back of the shoe doesn't come up as high as the others, and I got blisters. That's why I didn't give it 5 stars.

I have narrow feet but the toe box was narrow, squishing my big toe

It's a great looking, comfortable shoe. I'm able to compensate for the medium width (I usually wear, and prefer, a narrow) by pulling the laces tightly.

These are Great! Light , weight and comfortable. Love the colors. I say they are a little small because I find that I need a half size bigger in all Ryka Shoes - Sneakers and boots. So if you purchased Ryka shoes before They run true to the size you normally get in this brand!

Good looking and good fit, but slightly snug. Will go up a half size if I order more.

They are light and cute, but the tongue on the left shoe has a rip where it attaches to the rest of the shoe.

I like the shoe and it fits; the laces are too short. If you have a wide foot (one reason I selected Ryka) and a high instep, you really need much longer laces. And they should be a color from the shoe not black. I'll have to replace them.

My first try at purchasing Rykas. Seems well-made, but footbed was a tad shorter than other brands in the same size. I wear a wide width, and while adequate, this is not the widest "wide" shoe I've ever worn. I'll need to size up.

New Balance, Brooks

The shoe is stylish and lightweight and very pretty. I ordered two different pairs of this style. I was unable to keep the shoes however. My feet are extremely narrow, and because the shoes are so lightweight, the sides of the shoes, when laced to fit my feet became a series of ridges on the sides...unattractive. I would need something with sturdier sides. I think they would be great shoes for someone with average or only slightly narrow feet.

I was looking for a comfortable cross training shoe. I tried Ryka shoes for cross training and for trail/walking. Very disappointing. I found all of them fit narrow. I have a wide toebox, a narrow heel and high Instep. I ordered a 9 1/2 wide in all the styles that I tried. I do like the color grey on the vivid rzx

This shoe was SO cute!!! The only problem was that I need a little more arch support. :( I'm so sad because it was really cute. Otherwise I thought it was a great shoe. I need a new aerobic work out shoe for Jazzercize but really need the arch support. So back to the drawing board...

These shoes are great for an exercise class, specifically the Zumba class I'm doing. It has a circular pattern in the sole that seems to make turns a bit easier. The only reason I gave the shoes a four starthe cord eyelet seems less secure than a regular eyelet, although it may just be an illusion. So far, the cord eyelet has been just fine.

I bought these shoes to teach my Zumba Gold class. The style and fit are great, but I was a bit disappointed in the support. The ball of the shoe seems to have less padding than similar shoes I have purchased from other manufacturers. I will keep them because I do like everything else about them. I will just have to supplement with an insole.

Love the shoe, the comfort and support is good. However, I have smaller ankles, so one more hole back for the laces would help me feel more secure and not worry about my foot falling out of the shoe.

I have wide feet and ordered an 8.5 W. This however was not wide at all, it felt like it was normal width.

I usually fluctuate between a 7 and 7.5, depending on the brand. This is my first pair of Ryka sneakers. I got these for walking in the city. I ordered the 7.5 medium and the 7.5 wide. The 7.5medium felt a little narrow and my toes were almost at the edge. The 7.5 wide felt much more comfortable. My toes had extra room, enough to wear with thicker socks if I want. I walked around the house in both sizes just to make sure. I'm keeping the 7.5wide. RE: arch support - it seems to have good arch support but I may replace the insert with a different one. The arch in my right shoe felt a little hard. Style: these look very nice and do not look clunky.

Really love the look of the shoe. I have three other Ryka shoes, different styles. I was a little disappointed in the overall support , arch ok but not much depth overall. I would call it a walking shoe.

I bought these because of the color and the pivot circle on the bottom. I teach Zumba and needed a shoe that doesn't give too much traction but has support. These are great! The colors pop and the sole is perfect for most gym floors. Only draw back is the sizing. Order at least 1/2 to 1 full size up.

My right foot is a tad longer than my right and these shoes felt just a little short. Wish they would have worked out as they are really a nice looking shoe.
