This is my 2nd pair of Ryka shoes and I like that they have great built in arch support so I don’t have to use separate insoles. The toe box is wide enough to spread my toes apart and the shoes are sturdy and stable on the treadmill. They are all you could ask for, and they even look great! So glad I bought them…

I love these walking shoes. The size 9 fits perfectly. They are so pretty and comfortable. I am usually clumsy with tennis shoes, but these are perfect and I have not stumbled.

The shoe looks exactly as it does in the image. Choose your size carefully. Though this isn’t my usual US/UK size (US6/UK4), the size chart given is absolutely correct, so I followed it and got my exact size – 7, M, US. Don’t look for beauty in this shoe – this will not make your foot look noticeably cute or dainty (not that it’s a bad-looking shoe – it has great finish, quality and detail, but it’s slightly bulkier than my normal sports shoe and the design isn’t to my usual spartan taste). But for ergonomic styling, comfort and balance, I’d say these are excellent. I have small feet, a high arch, pronounced pronation and plantar fasciitis, so comfort matters a great deal. Features like the narrow cupping heel, padded interior, arch support and volume at the inner foot make all the difference when walking. This brand designs shoes specifically for women, and I’d definitely recommend this pair to anyone looking for a great walking shoe. How long it lasts remains to be seen, so I’ll probably update this review sometime in the future.

I like Ryka shoes. I was able to get these for an excellent price. So very comfortable I wear. I am on my feet all day for my job. These shoes remain comfortable all day.

My best feeling shoes ever. Perfect length, width, length, look great. Much better than my Hokies.

*Updated Review:
So it’s been a few months now and I’ve been wearing them for my daily walks. I’ve updated my review to 4 stars from 3. They have broken in and feel comfy. I prefer that my shoes feel comfortable right out of the box, but I do realize some take a bit of wearing to break in. They are not the most comfortable shoes I have had, but they certainly are not uncomfortable. The heel slipping problem I had it first seems to have resolved itself with time. Would I buy them again? Possibly because they were a decent value But not necessarily
Original review:
Given the good reviews I expected these to be more comfortable out of the box. But these …. not so much. I usually wear Merrill Serenes but thought these would be worth trying considering the price point and reviews. I did consider returning but I am going to give them a chance. As far as sizing they are a good fit. I feel like the heel is kind of low so wondering if it might feel like it’s slipping as I wear them. If it turns out I love them or hate them in the future I will update my review. But for now, the best I can say is they’re just Okay

I have bought these shoes before and they are comfortable. This pair was bought in January and though I have had them awhile they obviously have not had a lot of wear and the stitching on the shoes is coming undone. So they are useless to me and anyone else.

Shoes that fit without hurting my feet

They always feel comfortable and lite.
Have ordered the navy and now the black – both look great

These shoes are amazingly comfortable from the start. They are very durable and are a great fit. I have no pain while walking in them. I ordered a 10 wide and they feel like a wide but definitely don’t look like they are!

These are great shoes, and after the fiasco I had with another seller and their ridiculous sizing chart and poor customer service, I almost didn’t take a chance on these. But, I’m glad I did. The size NINE is a real size NINE in woman’s. Not as size EIGHT sold as a size NINE. These fit like a woman’s genuine NINE. So, true to fit for sure. The only issue I have, is that they are a bit scratchy on the top of the foot area, and had a few issues with areas that were sharp/scratchy inside the shoe. I wear very thin socks, so I felt all of those spots. I eventually got all of them addressed, and they wear perfectly now. Very good support, the cushioning could be a bit better, but not bad at all. These have helped my walking, as I do suffer from plantar fasciitis and have heel spurs. These have helped, they look really nice, and are comfortable. I will be replacing the soles with some inserts at some point, but overall, I’m very pleased.

People were laughing at me for ordering my shoes on line. I did my research and these shoes were what I was looking for. They are true to size. Amazingly comfortable. I stand and walk for about 10 hours a day at work on concrete floors. My feet feel supported and don’t ache at the end of the day.
