Customer Reviews Ryka Devotion XT

I have been wearing these for only one month to teach Jazzercise and there are 2 triangle bottom sections that are coming unglued. This is the second pair of Ryka's to do this to me, the other was a different style. Still very disappointed.

I have been looking for something to better support the ball of my foot and the side to side motions we do a lot in Jazzercise. These shoes were too bulky when I tried them on so I am sending them back. It was great in theory to have an orthotic insert but it needs to be much thinner and the overall construction of the shoe lighter. I am a HUGE fan of Ryka and will continue to buy their shoes. Just not this one. The Influence 2.5 has been their best shoe yet for dance aerobics.

The whole sizes have too much variance and I can't get a good fit. One is too short and the other slips off my foot. Need half sizes in the training shoes. SO Dissapointed

I love my other two styles of Ryka. I have tried wearing these 3 or 4 times, but they have given me foot pain each time (as in for a day or two afterwards). I am a dance fitness instructor and cannot risk injury, so I believe I cannot wear these anymore. I am very saddened about this.

This is my fourth pair because I love them so much. However, this last pair is different. The fabric has changed, and they don't fit he same. They are much wider. I had to send them back.Very disappointing.

I tried them on and returned them. I ordered a wide size, since I have bunions. However, this pair in Wide is actually narrower in the toe box than my old Devotions, which are a medium width. Quality control seems nonexistent. Waiting for my refund.

Sole failed after less than a month of light wear (I cross train indoors 4 times a week or so). I like the fit and comfort, but the quality is not acceptable. I will have to replace a brand new pair of

This was my 4th pair of Devotion XTs. I ordered the same 7W that I always get, but it was clear these were NOT wide, based on the fit, even though labeled as Wide. Additionally the color of the shoe was not as gray as the picture appears, but more blue in tone.

I ordered Wide, got medium wide. If it says wide that's what I should have gotten for the money I spent. Not a very sturdy shoe. Disappointed

Very cute, but had to return as they were at least a full size TOO SMALL.

I have a pair of the Devotion Plus that I love, however I am was wearing them for Jazzercise and thought a pair of training shoes would be better, I was wrong. The cushion is lacking, they are just stiff. I have upgraded the insoles but when I did that I was unable to achieve the secure feeling of the shoe on my foot. I have also laced them in different patterns to help with the loose heel and ended up irritating the tendon on the top of my foot. I could not return them since they had been worn in the studio, but honestly how does a consumer know if a workout shoe really performs unless they have tried them out. I love my Devotion Plus so I will stick with them for now on.

I have flat feet and overpronate so I was looking to replace my old sneakers for my HIIT workouts. This is my first experience with Rykas so I decided to give them a try after reading the glowing reviews. They're cute and have decent support, but after a month of using them, I've determined I don't like them for HIIT. First, the laces are so thin I had to replace them. Second, my toes slam to the front and get pinched when I do moves like burpees. Third, there's no ankle support/grip so I feel like the shoes are going to slip off even when I have the laces tied really tight. You might be thinking, "Maybe she got the wrong size?" It's possible but I measured my foot and looked at their size chart which said size 8, which is what I usually get with cross-trainers. Trust me, I really tried to make these shoes work for me by adjusting how I land, changing the laces, tying them tighter, and wearing thicker socks. But I realized if I have to do all these things to make myself like these shoes, then they're not the shoes for me.

I've been wearing ONLY Ryka shoes since 1989. As a teacher who has to stand on her feet all day, walking around the room, these shoes wear the best, bar none. However, the last four years or so, I've noticed that the quality is no longer there with this brand. The soles become unglued, I need to buy different sizes (based on the design), and they don't last. Considering the price of the shoes have increased, I expect that the quality would still be there. Disappointed to say the least.

I've been wearing Rykas for a long time, but these pinch the top of my feet every time I been them to step. I couldn't return them since I'd worn them on the road. Certainly not what I was hoping for.

I returned these.. The insole of the sneaker arrived folded up. After fixing it, i tried the sneaker, and was very dissappointed as to how uncomfirtable the sneakers were Definitely made fir long, thin feet! Too bad, they look great!

I got the 8.5 med & after one 3 mile walk they looked beat up. From stretching while walking (no coverage support) & the insole was weak & cheap feeling. So disappointing because I've always used Ryk for workouts & casual. What's Happening Ryk?

I just got my order, opened the box, and these are NOT the quality RYKA is known for. I have 5 other pair, these are terrible. the footbed is some new material, that was curled over (at the instep) and hard, so could not be fixed. also if you remove the "ORTHOLITE"inside, , you have nothing under your sole, but the stitched shoe. I am returning these for a refund, and will no longer buy RYKA, sight unseen !! what a terrible come-down for this fabulous company

The bottoms pads are already peeling off. Wore them 6x over 3 weeks.....

I am sad to say these shoes are not up to par. I have been wearing Ryka for about 20 years and always had a wonderful fit and comfort. Recently, all the Ryka shoes I have purchased, from different vendors, have had flaws, such as: Too big, too small, both shoes not matching, comfort just not there, and so forth. These shoes I am sad to say just do not fit right and they are going back. I did purchase a pair a few months ago, tried them on and they were too short, sent them back and got a larger size. I should have tried them on when I received them, but stupidly did not. I purchased 3 more pair, and only two could be shipped because they were out of one color. I tried them on, my original purchase, and they are way too wide and the comfort is NOT there. I used to be able to just but Ryka, size 9 and always was happy. Of the 18 pairs I currently have, I have 9, 9 1/2, 10 in my closet. Just not made the way they used to be made!!! I do not understand why I need 3 different sizes in the same brand shoes.
