Elevate LX Walking Sneaker (Women)

The Elevation is my fifth pair of Ryka’s. I love, love, love them. In the past I’ve only purchased the Devotion Ryka’s .I put them on and no break in required. I bought a size 8 wide like I did the devotions. The Elevation hurt my feet so bad I can hardly walk after a full day of wearing them. I walk as many as 15,000 steps a day while working and the Ryka’s haven’t let me down until I purchased the Elevations. I hate having to make this negative review.

This new style is a half-size small, like the other review stated. I ordered a 7.5 instead of my usual 7 and it fit in length. But this shoe is barely wide enough in the Wide width. It's new cushion is hard, not like Rezorb. Barely any flexibility, too. And the new arch inserts that Ryka's using are awful! Couldn't stand the discomfort after 5 steps! Feels totally like you're walking with a golf ball under your arches, and it's in the wrong position. Immense pressure at the back of the arch/heel front. It's true to size, tho.
