Well made, look great. Just not enough support for all day standing.

Item was not quite true to size. If I were to keep them, I think I would have to order up a size. I didn't keep them because I didn't like the way I had to tug to get them on. I had to use a shoe horn to put them on and it would mean if I were traveling with them and forgot to pack one, I would be tugging all the time, etc.

I bought these shoes for walking around the neighborhood. I could tell they were light and comfortable even though they were tight. (I had to return them). I did not order a larger size because I felt the material for the shoe itself was very thin, almost like a pair of Skechers. I thought this was a lot of money for shoes of this quality. However, the rest of the shoe was very sturdy with a wide base. This would be a great pair of shoes for older women who need extra stability.

I don’t care for the addition of memory foam. I don’t like the way it feels. Makes the shoes feel less supportive.

I always like the fit of Rykas but these are not trail shoes. The sole is too thin for hiking on rocks. I will wear these when walking on paved surfaces.

For me, personally, the shoe was a little too squishy. I like to have a little better road feel.

These were almost keepers. Although the toe box seems wide and long enough, my big toe was still pushed to the front inside edge of the toe box instead of stright ahead. The support was not like the Rykas I had years ago which seemed made for my feet but those shoes were cross trainers and I need trail shoes. I need cushioning in the foot bed but this seemed like too much. I want to be able to feel more of the ground under my feet. while still getting protection.

Decent shoe for light dry outdoor activity. Memory cushion is a comfortable feature. Shoe fits like your favorite house slipper. Overall, shoe does not offer the best support for rigorous use on concrete or asphalt surfaces, which is typically city walking. Off the beaten path hiking shoe performs admirably with the exception of lacking waterproof uppers. A light dew soaks through fabric rapidly.

I got these in 8.5 Medium as that was the same size as a previous Ryka purchase and recommended by Ryka. All good for the first month. Now the weather has warmed up a bit - the fit becomes too tight after a few hours wear and hurts my toes. Next pair it will be 9 wide as all my shoes are.

The fit and the color are great, just like the picture shows, and the foot bed is very comfortable. However, within 2 weeks of owning them the tread of the bottom is already starting to peel off and that's pretty disappointing.

If you are used to sneakers like New Balance and are looking for something different, these sneakers won't hit the mark. I tried them on and it felt like it wasn't a full sneaker (again, comparing it to New Balance, and Nike). I love Zappos and being able to try new things and if they don't work you can return them. Thanks Zappos!

I usually order Rykas, but this one did not fit like I'd hoped. I ordered a 9, which did fit ok, but the arch support was not what I needed. It was almost too much?? I returned the Rykas and kept the Sketchers Performance Go Walk instead.

The sneaker fits great and I have an extra wide foot and I'm very comfortable walking and doing my exercises. The only drawback is when I opened the box there was a very strong sweet chemical smell to the sneakers. Even while wearing the sneakers I can smell it. So I am letting them air out outside and hopes that the smell will dissipate. I don't know if this was chemically treated with formaldehyde to prevent mold during shipping but it's not a smell that I want in my house with my family and I. If they did not have that awful smell it would have earned a five-star.

I am a fan of Ryka shoes; the wide toes and narrow heels fit my foot well. These shoes seemed to be exceptionally wide even though i ordered medium width. I sent them back.

The fit is good for my wide foot but the shoe is not very supportive. I thought since it was a trail shoe that it would be better for hiking. I don't even like it for long urban walks. I will probably use it like a slipper when I run out side to water the garden but won't be doing any long walks in this shoe. (btw: according to those charts I am "over" weight and "over" aged so these shoes may be great for you if you are slender/and/or/young).

I usually order a 7W however after reading the reviews I ordered a 7.5 W. My toes were right up to the end of the shoe and I reordered in a 8 W which was much better. Probably more room then I needed but they feel good and I will keep them.

This is a very nice looking shoe, if you are only looking for a shoe that looks good. It is a thin, stuctureless and useless as a walking shoe. You can feel ever piece of gravel under your feet. It does not support your feet, you ankles or even your toes. Don't buy these shoes.

The wide size wasn't wide :(
I have a pair of these, 9 1/2 wide that are awesome but the new ones I ordered, even though they were marked 'wide' were def not wide.

Not really worth the price. I wouldn't consider these a trail walking shoe as they don't have a lot of support or inner cushion. The toe shape and trim are slightly different on each shoe, as one is a little more pointed than the other. I tried just wearing them around the house to make sure I they were comfortable enough but figured they really needed to be tested on the trail. Again, not trail worthy but they are ok for just an everyday sneaker. I had another pair of Ryka's a few years ago and the sole came apart from the shoe after just a year or two and I didn't wear them all that much, so thought maybe it was just a fluke. I'm really not convinced this is a good quality shoe. Wish I would have returned them based on the difference in the toe appearance.

This show is comfortable only for short use. Not enough support for a trail walking shoe at all.

No arch support whatsoever, light in weight is the only thing good.
