I've been wearing the devotion series walking shoes for over 5 years. The devotion X is my favorite so far! Love the look and I receive compliments on them often.

Very comfortable, with lots of cushion in the heel and decent arch support. I have high arches and need more support, but can wear orthotics in these shoes. I got a 1/2 size bigger which is perfect. Plenty of room in the toe box without feeling too big. Great for walking and wearing all day. I'm a teacher on her feet all day long and my feet don't ache as much as when I wear other shoes. Plus the light pink color is so cute!

I absolutely love this shoe! I've had to use orthotics for 20yrs and I don't have to in these. I will continue to purchase these over and over and over again!

I’m super happy with Ryka’s Devotion X walking shoe. I love everything about it. I was a Nike running shoe customer for years but find that Ryka’s quality and design are superior. FYI I wear a 7 in Nike but I’m a 6.5 in this Ryka style. Fits like a glove and has *excellent* arch support for my high arches. I also found that my Morton’s neuroma flare up was eliminated with Devotion X. I definitely plan on getting more Ryka shoes.

Very comfortable, supportive shoe. I wear them for work where I'm on my feet constantly. I suffer from plantar fasciitis do to calf muscle sprain and these are the most helpful shoes I have found.

This review was submitted as a sweepstakes or contest entry in exchange for an opportunity to win a prize.
I have received this product for free, I am fascinated with these special walking shoes for women because they are comfortable and light when walking, the texture is perfect for people who sweat a lot because the material is breathable. I am very happy to be able to give my honest opinion about these walking shoes.
Thanks Ryka for sending me the Women's Devotion XT Walking Shoe for Free
Many thanks to Bzzagent for giving me the opportunity to try these walking shoes and for being able to do this review.

My foot size is 8.5, and typically, I go a half size up in any type of fitness sneaker. I own 2 pairs of RYKAs (Devotion Plus 3), and both are size 9. In this style, I ordered size 9, and with 2 inches of extra length in the toe box, I exchanged for size 8.5. Going a half size smaller is a perfect fit with room for my toes to slide forward without discomfort. As someone with narrow feet, I love the snuggly fit of the medium width. Beyond the gorgeous color palette, the cushioning is exceptional. As an avid fitness walker, my feet are super happy!

Loved these shoes, nice weight, airy feeling, very comfortable except just too short. Returned them without ordering half-size larger because I’m afraid I’d just be swimming in them, don’t want to add to carbon emissions from yet more shipping back and forth. Hoping I can find them in a store.

I wanted to keep these as the sizing was true and the sole/support felt great; however, the low cut around the heel was too unsupportive to my narrow foot and sadly my heel would slip. The shoes must go back.

I was very happy with these shoes. I have arthritis in one knee and walking in these shoes mitigated the pain from that. However, I had only had the shoes for about a week when one of the eyelets detached and I had to have it repaired. No sooner had I gotten it back but another eyelet detached and the shoe is once again being repaired. This isn't cheap, it's $10 for each repair. So be warned: these are very good walking shoes but you may run into this defect in the lacing system.

I am a RN.
Walk a lot at work.
Hard cement floors.
Shoes are nice. A bit stiff first few 8 hours of wearing.
My right pinky toe was a little snug. I bought a medium my usual size 8 works fine.
Ryka has been a good shoe for my feet.
This shoe is just a bit more firm in it composition.
I'm will make it work with wearing it more.

The shoe fit too loosely, especially through the heel, for stability. Also, it looks cheaply made, and the logo is far too prominent.

The shoe is really cute, but it needs more support pronation. I'm goto have to use an orthotic.

There is no double lace hole at top of shoestring area. Because of this, my heels slip. Unfortunate, because I really like the shoes but know that means a hole in the heel fabric will happen!

I wanted to love these sneakers! Do yourself a favor order 1/2 size smaller. I am usually a 7 in sneakers. After reading reviews I did order my normal, 7. Nope, too big. I exchanged for a 6.5 and thought I'd be happy. The shoe fits great, has a little/noticeable arch support and looks great BUT the soles of these sneakers squeak on every hard surface. This isn't about breaking them in. Whatever the composition of the sole, it squeaks on hardwoor, tile, etc. If you are sensitive to this/sounds, I would not recommend.

These shoes were marked as wide but they were too narrow for my toes. Also, they lacked the arch support I need. They are nice looking shoes and I'm sure work well for others, just not for me.

I really liked the way these are built! Very stable, terrific support! The description states "round toe". It is not! The photos are very misleading. My foot is wide, the toebox was wide but is tapered at the toe! These are not a true wide size! Anyway, if you have a normal foot, these could be amazing! The quality is excellent! These are an outstanding value!

I ordered wide, but the shoes seemed too big in the wrong places, and too tight on the widest part of my foot. My foot was sliding around front to back and side to side. Not a good fit for HIIT workouts. Shoes are cute, but ultimately caused my feet to throb and did not give the support I need.

I've been wearing Rykas for a long time and could always count on any style to be a good fit for my narrow heel. But seems that is no longer the case. Somethings changed, Ryka, first, I exchanged for a half size smaller, which is a better size, but the heel slips no matter how tight I tie or what kind of sock. I'm disappointed. I wanted these shoes because I really like the color, but will have to return.

These shoes are initially very comfortable. After 60 days the insole becomes compressed and uncomfortable. I have neuromas in both feet and when the insole becomes compressed it presses on my neuromas. I purchased this pair as a second set and will be sending back the first pair for possible warranty replacement. The shoes themselves are roomy in the toe area and this is why I purchased them. I have trouble finding a shoe that is comfortable.

I bought the shoe a couple months ago and I then fell and was injured a lot before I could try them on. I just recently was able to try them on and I do not like them. Compared to the other Ryka sneakers that I bought. these are much more narrow and they don't have holes for the shoelaces they go through loops and I don't like that.

The back part of the shoe comes up too high on the ankle. I knew it would rub and maybe even cause a blister. I prefer low socks, so had to return.

I had not worn Rykas before and it took me three tries to find the right size in this shoe. I think it runs a full size smaller than comparable athletic shoes. The wide size is taller than the medium, but the sole is exactly the same width as the medium -- in other words, the wide size is bigger vertically but not horizontally. I was disappointed in this, since the wide size was useless for my fan-shaped low volume foot. It's an attractive shoe, but I wish it had a lot more toe room.
