This is a great looking sneaker but it runs narrow and does not fit like a walking shoe. I went up a size and am wearing it with a thin liner as the toe box is too narrow for anything thicker. It is not comfortable out of the box and requires addition of a foam insole and a break in period.

I have been looking for a leather or leather-like white sneaker for a long time, one with that old "tennis shoe" styling. And they all have been too narrow in the toebox. Given how comfortable my other Rykas are, I was hopeful this shoe would do the trick. But NO. It is narrower and has lower volume in the toebox than their other shoes. My big toe bumps the 'ceiling' of the shoe. I have tried it on more than once, hoping I made that up. But nope. So back it does.

The style was very cute! I believe the width was true to size. Very, very moderate arch support. I am returning the shoe because the part of the shoe that wraps around/covers the heel, seems to fit very low along the heel. I felt like more of my heel area was exposed compared to other comparable sneakers - didn't care for the feel of that. It made me think they were always slipping off.

Im not a fan of the stripe down the side, but that aside I was hoping for something like a converse with support. Sadly these don't have support and I'm returning them.

Shoes are really pretty but very stiff. Usually I can wear my Ryka's out of the box, but not for this particular style. Not sure if they will work for teaching my dance classes but they certainly will look lovely for leisure wear (once I get them broken in)

They wore off on the top very easily and it looked bad.

mild arch support, soft and comfortable shoe. i find the sole to be slippery and worry about wearing if it's wet out so will return

Cute shoe but virtually no support. I purchased to be able to walk several miles on a tour but it didn't have enough support even when I added running insoles

They're purple, not beige (or sand or whatever) and the med width is A LOT narrower than their walking shoes. If you even buy Wide, do so if you buy these. I am planning on retiring them and going back to the drawing board.

Bought these as a comfortable but dressier alternative to regular sneakers. They are very stiff and uncomfortable. There is no movement in the ball of the foot area so they felt like hard boxes on your feet. They have been returned.

They looked cute online but they are very stiff. The do not move with your foot at all. I wanted these as a casual but dressier alternative to regular sneakers but they were not comfortable. They were returned.

In person, The shoes look exactly the the online photo. Cute looking shoes suitable for casual wear. Was hoping to wear them as my go-to errand-running shoe with jeans. The description does not address arch support, but every other Ryka i have owned has durable arch support. The Viv Classic is as flat as a board inside. 0 arch support. That makes them unusable to me. Otherwise, the shoe was comfortable. Note to Ryka designers: we high-arch gals would love a cute casual shoe with this sihlouette and arch support. Thanks!

Just bought these and was excited because all my other Ryka's fit amazing. The toe box on this one was tighter than expected and I bought them in wide. Maybe it's because leather is tighter, who knows.

I liked these so much I bought a second pair--one to keep clean and one for more grubby occasions.

Great shoes for wide feet. Fit perfectly and were super comfortable. Did not need to break them in before a night of dancing.
