Happy feet
I ordered these online, never seen in real life.
I do own another pair of Ryka shoes and like them enough to try this walking shoe. I am going on a trip and specifically wanted a walking shoe because I'm expecting lots of walking.
My normal size, 7, was way too big so I ordered 6.5 and it's a perfect fit.
Upon arrival I liked the blue color and fabric but wasn't totally sure because the shoe style did go down a bit towards the back. I tried them on and my feet were completely in foot heaven. Seriously, the cushy-ness and support were all blended into one. I wore them for about 4 hours and my feet were comfortably supported.
I will wear them for longer periods to break them in further before my trip. I seriously cannot wait to walk more in these shoes.

Poorly made
This is the 3rd and last pair of Rykas I will order. I received these 9/24/25 and have walked for an hour 4-5 days a week, so
about 18 hours in the shoes give or take.
And this is the inside of the right shoe. Has happened with every pair. I’m sorry it took me 3 tries to realize this is not the shoe for me.

comfortable, good cushioning
I am pleased with these Rykas. Never tried this brand before. They are comfortable immediately out of the box and have great cushioning. I wear size 8 and my feet are somewhat narrow, not a true narrow. Room for all of my toes. I spent a weekend in NYC, did lots of walking and my feet were very happy!

Disappointed
I have another pair that I purchased over a year ago in the wide width. Love them! I ordered another pair, also in the wide width, and when I tried them on they fit like the previous regular width Ryka’s that I have. Had to send them back.

Sharing the gift of comfort!
I purchased these as a holiday gift for a friend (I LOVE MINE) who has arthritis and is an avid walker. She initially thought that there was a bit too much room at the toe. She tried them on again, walked around and found that her toes settled in and the shoe actually conformed nicely to her foot!! She says that they are really comfortable and she likes them ALOT!

great walking shoe but
these are ready to go out of the box. I look for stability shoes and Ryka is usually spot on no matter what model you get. these aren't as arch cradle friendly as other or previous models, despite the shoe finder saying they are.

Love!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my favorite walking/workout shoes I've had in a few years for warm weather and they do great on my trails with the clay dirt and small rocks. They are very comfortable and easy to clean and I appreciate that they don't have a white sole, which is hard to find these days as most are white or black. In fact the dark blue with lavender accent is very stylish and unique. They breath but they don't let the dirt in. In fact mostly they stay clean but if they do get dirt on the top I just spray it off and then they dry fairly fast. I will definitely buy this brand of sneaker again.
