I was so excited about these shoes. The colors are fun and the arch support was exactly what I needed. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to use them. The first time I went to lace them up, one of the straps holding the laces snapped. Poorly designed. I will be returning these.

I am so bummed about these sneakers! Love the colors and design (got loads of compliments). Love the comfort, even with my giant bunions from hell that work with very few shoes (ordered the wide width). But I'd had them exactly one month when one of the loops that hold the laces broke from the shoe! I was even extra gentle whenever I laced them up because the loops were a new thing for me, so I was feeling like I should be careful. I don't tie my shoes tightly anyways because it makes my bunions not happy. Sure, I can still wear them skipping that set of loops, but at their price they shouldn't break after one month. The black toe caps also seem to hold scrapes easily (apparently I scraped my foot against something painted white? Not wet paint, just painted) I wasn't thrilled that that happened, but that alone didn't bother me too much. Assuming the pair I got was defective, I'm hoping Zappos will do an exchange for me!
I'd also recommend:
Merrill, naot, brooks, birkenstock

No support and no cushion. The shape of the shoe was okay--it didn't fit weird, but they are at least half a size smaller than marked. I wear a 9.5D in Brooks Ghost, and the 9.5 D in these is too small. They were a little narrower than I would expect a wide to be, but not too narrow. There is no support at all in these--I could twist them easily at the arch, and they felt almost like flip flops on. No cushion to speak of either. I was on carpet and the soles felt thin and hard under my feet. The insole is removable which is good because I have orthotics, but with those in they felt even more like concrete. Thankfully Zappos has free and easy returns! Back to the drawing board to find a cross trainer in wide. The raspberry color is pretty but the style when on is nothing to write home about.

I bought these shoes and used them on the treadmill. I had two enormous blisters on the back of my foot when I was done. The back of the shoe comes up pretty high and rubbed too much. I really wanted these to be great because I have a hard time finding cute workout shoes. Very sad I had to return them.

Not enough support. This is a walking shoe, not a trainer

The shoe fits well and looks great, but I wouldn't recommend this for a high impact aerobic class unless you add a supportive insole. If you do high impact aerobic movements I would recommend the Devotion XT Training Shoe over these. I'm going to keep these, but only wear them for walking.

Shoes fit was not comfortable. Seemed like it lacked good quality. Very skimpy shoe. Gave them away.

This was not a good shoe for me with osteoarthritis in my feet, knees and hips. I did give it 1 stat because they are pretty. Not very sturdy.

Unfortunately, Ryka quality waivers between shoe to shoe. This one "felt cheap" when on my foot, like a knock-off. Zero cushion/comfort. I've discovered that you can order two pairs of the same model show and receive two different quality shoes. They manufacturer their product in different countries and do not have a quality control across the board, I asked. Sadly, that makes their product completely unreliable and not one I'd recommend....even though I have that ONE great pair!

My first return in 20 years, not much support for a cross trainer. It felt like a walking shoe.

I love the training shoe sole that allows great flexibility and range of movement across court. I ordered these for playing pickleball but there's not sufficient support from the fabric or additional material in the sides across the bend of the toe area. My previous RYKA pair has worn holes in that area so won't be able to use them. I would love to see RYKA develop a pair combining both the training sole and the additional side support needed. I find regular court shoes too stiff for playing the short court in pickleball. I also play tennis and find the regular court shoes with more structure to be sufficient for the larger court.

I will not buy from this company again--they obviously have manufacturing issues. The first pair I bought were marked size 10 and were a bit small, so I bought a size 11. The size 11 are not only too small, they are visually smaller than the size 10s even though they are marked size 11. Both are going back.

I bought these shoes because I liked the walking version so much. They look awesome, but unfortunately the fit and feel were terrible. I've never had issues with tendonitis before, but developed it after the second run with these. They hurt, and have no give around the ankles, very stiff and where they sit on my foot was flat out painful after a mile.

Great looking shoe, but runs very small. I typically wear a 10.5-11. I ordered an 11 and they are way too small. Super bummed, love the look of the show!

I am disappointed that the shoes are not very cushioned. Doesn't seem to have much padding. I was hoping a product made by women for women would have provided the 'cushion' in their shoe. I will go back to ASICS in the future. I am average size snd weight. Size 7 shoe.

I bought this shoe a few months ago at Belk's to wear at work. I recieved lots of compliments. I only wear them to and from my car then at work inside normal walking. I do not wear them for my exercise. They started falling apart. The material at the toes is unglued. I tried to glue it back and now the sole is pulling apart.

These do not fit - the heel comes up too high rubbing on my foot and it was deceiving to not see laces tied at the top - I thought there were no laces. Can't bend down to tie anymore. These need to be returned asap.

Ripped up my ankles - I am so disappointed. I tried to order for the first time online using my size from a previous Ryka shoe that I loved. DO NOT order online, try these on in stores. Great shoes but get them fitted in store.

There's a lump on the inside of the shoe in the toe area that kills!!! It seems to be a defect in the plastic. Guess I'll try to return.

This was the worst walking shoe I’ve ever bought, never again with this brand! The soles are already wearing out and I only walk three to four days/week. I’ve only had the shoes two weeks. What a waste.
