Customer Reviews Ryka Vivid RZX

They were super stiff and the arch was intense -I walked around in the house for 20 minutes and I literally had to take them off. I am sad bc they are cute and great price. Had to return

Like the look of this shoe but it did not have enough support overall

I ordered the Ryka Vivid RZX, 9.5 Wide. I wear a 9.5 wide in most other brands of athletic shoes, although most of the other brands, especially Nike, run a little too small in the 9.5. Then I have moved up to a 10, in other brands, and the shoe is always a little too big. But these Rykas fit my foot perfectly, with a little room beyond my toes for running or feet swelling at the end of a day. I liked that! However, i returned them 1st because the raspberry color I ordered looked more purple in person. I chose them because they looked more like a deep pink/red, raspberry color online. 2nd, As for how they felt on my feet, they fit good, but felt just kind of okay. They did not have much cushion, and felt a little too firm in the sole and overall feel to my feet. I had also purchased one of their RYKA Devotion shoes at the same time, and I tried those on after the Vivid pair. The Devotions were much more comfortable.

Not sure yet. I ordered a half-size larger for toe room, in wide width, and so the fit was what I expected. The shoelaces were so long they dragged on the floor. Easy fix -- I just wrapped them twice in the first lacing hole. Also, a minor quality issue --- one of the lace holes (made of cord) was out of alignment with the others. I just tied a knot in it, which made it just about in line. So far, not impressed with the design or quality. I had to make accommodations to make the item OK (described above) because the designers and quality control did not. I try to make my purchases work, to minimize returns. I got these for walking mostly-- on my job where I'm on my feet. I hope the support will be good and that they will last a while. They seem comfortable enough, but I've only walked around the house so far. It's too soon to tell. I do like the color, though the style is a bit long and pointy.

These shoes are cute but just OK otherwise. I'm keeping them to use for workouts when I travel but they won't be my primary workout shoe. They fit nicely and are very lightweight, but they have very little cushion in the ball of the foot. I need more support than they provide for classes, cardio machines and weight training. I bought the Ryka Devotion XT and they have a lot more cushion but are also lightweight - I recommend those over these if you need more cushion.

I really liked the style and fit of this shoe initially. After the first day of wear, I thought the elasticized sides and stretchy shoestring loops did not offer much in the way of support. I could also see these stretchy loops getting stretched out quickly after just normally pulling to tie shoes daily. The shoes overall were light and airy, but not supportive. I am a large woman with plantar fasciitis and knee pain. I wore these for a few days and was not impressed. I ultimately decided to return them and try the Ryka Dash3 and am glad I did. The reviews seemed to be right on with these, much more supportive and comfortable for me.

I tried this model because the reviews were so good. As suggested, I ordered 1/2 size over my usual. I liked how light the shoe felt on my feet. The toe was a little narrower than I would have liked, but the main reason I returned them was that I was looking for more cushion. Otherwise, they are okay for the price, but I need a bit more comfort.

9 wide, seemed to have enough width. I like the way these look, and the foot bed is comfortable however the heel tab is too high and and rubs against the back of my heel. Unfortunately they are going back.

This shoe is a nice looking shoe! I have never had a pair of Ryka before and thought I would give them a try. There is plenty of room in the toe box and they felt comfortable except something was off in the arch support in the right shoe that made it uncomfortable. The left shoe felt GREAT! I tried to remove and reinsert the insole to see if that might help without success. I knew if I kept them I would end up not wearing them. Unfortunately I will be returning the shoes. I would have give these shoes a 4 star overall rating if the right shoe was not defective.

I liked the shoe and arch support. However there is no cushion in these shoes. It felt like there was no padding. Some people might like that feel in a tennis shoe but I needed something more steady to walk in.

While very cute, I felt the fabric was a bit too flimsy for what I was looking for, especially in terms of overall support. I felt they would not last as long as my Merrell's, and didn't have as good support.

These shoes were very loose-fitting and felt so wide. They were not supportive at all, in comparison to the other pair of Ryka's I bought. These are sized much differently.

This shoe surprised me. It fit just fine, but the colors just didn't look as good in person as they did online. It did fit well, which is sometimes an issue with D width. Ryka does a good job with wide shoes, unlike Nike, which tells me they're sending me a D width but my foot feels like it's in a vice. Hate to send it back because I like some fun colors, but this one doesn't work for me.

I was so disappointed because they look nice styling-wise but were way too big and not cushioned much. Had to return them since I needed a good pair for long power walks.
