I really wanted to love these shoes. Super comfortable and the style I was looking for. But there is a seam connecting the front of the shoe to the portion under the laces, and it lies just underneath where the lace crosses over (so it's not visible unless you move the lace). This seam causes the shoes to bend sharply across the seam when you walk, which is really uncomfortable across the top of the foot. Super bummed out! Had to return them. I hope they will change the construction in future designs.

Excited for this style and color. They're lightweight and comfortable for standing. However, they're are uncomfortable to walk in. The seam under the top of the laces near where the toe bend is cuts across my foot and is extremely uncomfortable. Not sure if it's a "breaking-in" issue or a manufacture issue. But these are not what I was expecting.

I depend on Ryka sport shoes to fit my wide width foot with bunions and hammer toes. Their magic lies in the carefully sculpted sole. These sneakers did not have it. Plus the fabric at the front of the foot, between toe and laces, was cut so that there was no extra height to accommodate toe movement, resulting in rubbing which would have led to corns. Finally, the shoe looked clunky on, compared to Keds. I'll still buy Ryka for active walking and hiking shoes, but will stay away from their casual shoes that don't have that true wide width in the sole.

The fit and size was great. The seam on the toe box hurts to walk.

These are so comfortable, but after only a month of wear the faux leather has started to crack and break down, and it looks like the sole of the shoe will soon come away from the edge of the top of the shoe as well.
I was so disappointed upon noticing these issues as I really wanted to love these shoes. Too cheaply made for me to want to spend money on this brand again, especially given that the month of wear was just mild walking around town.

I purchased a pair of the denim colored Viv sneakers and absolutely love them. I've been having issues with my feet lately and these shoes are incredible so much so, I'm ordering them in green.

These shoes fit well for my size 6 feet with high arches, but there is NO cushioning or arch support, which didn't sit well with my 68-year-old feet. Adding an insert of my own provided adequate comfort, so I kept them as they are very cute.

These feel like cheap shoes from a Wally World. I ordered a pair of Sketchers for the same price and the difference in quality is significant. I gave 2 stars because I suppose they could be worse, but these are pretty pitiful.

Got them a few days ago. Really disappointed. The seam on the top of the shoe is a design flaw, very painful walking. I'm going to have to return and buy a different brand

One of my favorite Ryka styles. I had a pair of these in white for the summer and bought the green pair for fall. I'm very happy with the fit and comfort, and the color is neutral enough to wear everyday.

Cute & trendy. Great for an every day shoe for running errands around town, or a casual lunch with gal pals. Not the better arch support you’d need for exercise activities, tho.

These are so comfortable and so cute. No break in period, they were perfect from the start.

I chose the Ryka sneaker because I need more room in the toe box and Ryka provides that room in their sneakers. I like the new Viv classic because they are comfortable and a bit stylist. I can comfortably wear this sneaker with socks and still have room. Love them.

These shoes are perfection! Comfortable from the first wear, and perfect for walking long distances. I bought them for a trip to Paris and they worked beautifully! Perfect if you're looking for a comfortable walking shoe that doesn't look like an athletic sneaker. The white looked amazing with dresses. I noticed from other reviews that colors with the mesh paneling on the side hold up better. I plan to buy other colors.

This is my first pair and I will be buying more! I suffer from plantar fasciitis and other issues and finding a comfortable shoe these days is difficult. These have room for my toes to move (podiatrist said this is important), support for my arches (flat feet), and chusion for my foot overall. Finally a company that gets women's feet!

I ordered these in the blue and I love them. I had to send back another brand's pair in white but I ordered another pair of these Ryka's in a different color. I have a wide (D width) foot and I have swelling on and off and these were comfortable right out of the box with no irritating seams. This is my 1st pair of Ryka shoes and it's so nice to find a brand that fits me well with my arthritis and edema issues.

Bob's from Sketchers, Halsa, Allegria, Cobb Hill and 'some' Clark's and Easy Spirit's

So comfortable -- the width is perfect for my wide feet. Length seems to run a little big.

These are the best everyday sneaker. I have them now in four colors, and will probably add more. They are true to size, with a narrow heel that doesn't slip. Super comfortable, classic look, and fun colors - these make you feel like you can bop around all day long!

Love these silver sneakers! They are so chic! They look great with all my slacks and my denim dress, too. I look forward to wearing them with summer skirts. The shoes are comfortable, supportive, and fit my feet beautifully; the way all my Ryka shoes do

Very comfortable all my other Ryka shoes have a mesh outer so wind a water freeze my feet during cold weather. Theses are in between boots and shoes perfect for mild to chilly days.
