Customer Reviews Ryka Vivid RZX

I wear sneakers everyday to work and I am on my feet for 10-13 hours a day (restaurant & catering). I go through a lot of sneakers. I really like the Ryka brand. They always fit great and I never have to break them in. I wear orthotics and they fit great.

I love the Ryka RDX, however this shoe was too narrow in the toe box and not comfortable. Perhaps a wide will fit better, even though I always have worn a medium.

The laces are too long, have to double tie. Would need more support if walking a lot, running, or standing. Ok for the price.

I had to send the first pair back as they were an entire size too small. I would definitely order up on this brand. The shoes are incredibly stylish and cute. They are super lightweight. I do worry about the toe quality. They seem so thin I think they might tear out easily but only time will tell. This pair is for my 12 year old who normally wears a 6.5 and I had to order a 7.5.

Love the color and the pivot point. I usually wear ASICS and wanted to give Ryka a try for my Jazzercise classes. The fit of the Vivid is best for me. The Influence was painfully stiff in the toe flexion area, and the Vida was too wide and shorter than expected for an 8.5 shoe. I’ll probably stick with ASICS in the fortune— better lateral support for me.

I bought these for Jazzercise, following the recommendation of several friends and Zappo customers. I kept the same style in red, but sent these back. The colors didn’t appeal to me. Overall, I’ve found Rykas to be lighter and less stable than the ASICS I’m accustomed to. They are also rather wide for my narrow foot. The mesh material seems a bit flimsy, too. Love the pivot point on the sole, though.

The insole isn’t as soft as I thought it would be. I think that I could purchased insoles, maybe, to help that? I like the breathability and lightness of them. I like the look. I have yet to wear them for a whole day so we’ll see how I feel after that.

It states it's a cross training shoe online, however the box states walking shoe. It's comfortable but I'm not sure it has the cushion I'm looking for as I need a good shoe for boot camp classes. So I'm returning.

These are super light and very supportive- I’m really happy with them! My only possible complaint is that the tongue is roughly sewn on the edges, and those show a bit if I’m not careful when I’m putting them on.

This shoe seems to fit my foot perfectly. It is all-around very comfortable. Size and width seem spot-on. I have high arches, and I can even feel the great arch support (which is rare for me except in Dansko shoes for work). The cushioning in the heel is just right, and the shoes are light and flexible. However, the forefoot lacks sufficient cushioning for working out (HIIT and cardio). My forefoot hurt when I tried these for my workout. I do not recommend these for workouts that having any jumping or impact, even though they’re listed as cross-trainers. I decided to keep these for my errands and strength training only.

Great shoes, but I wish there was a bit more arch support. Going to go with using these only for cardio, and a pair of my wonderful standby Air Monarchs for the weightlifting. Lots of compliments on the look and style of these shoes. Would buy again.

This is a very nice shoe for a reasonable price. I finally found a women's shoe with a big enough toe box to not press on my toes. I did order the wide shoe and I'm glad I did. the print out shoe sizing page indicated I should order a size 12 WIDE. That seemed excessive since all my other shoes are 10.5 or 11. There were no size 12 available in any style so I ordered an 11 WIDE and it's a good fit. 12 would have been much to big. My only complaint is the sides and heel are a little wider than I want them to be, even when I pull in the side lacing system, it leaves a little bit of a puckering look on the sides but I can make it work. Perhaps I will try a 10.5 WIDE next time. However, with my wide, sensitive toes I suspect 11 WIDE will be the best choice.
