Detailed Review
The Ryka Women's Re-Run Walking Sneaker excels in various categories. First, let’s discuss Comfort. Thanks to the RE-ZORB cushioning, these sneakers offer a comfortable experience whether you’re walking or lightly jogging. The padded collar adds an extra layer of comfort, making it suitable for prolonged wear.
In terms of Performance, the sneaker truly shines. It is engineered not just for fitness walking but also provides the necessary support for light running. The RE-ZORB technology absorbs shocks effectively, allowing you to transition seamlessly from walking to running.
The Fit is specifically tailored for women, taking into account common issues like a narrower heel and a roomier toe box. However, do remember that these shoes run small; it's advisable to size up by half a size for the best fit.
When it comes to Materials, the breathable mesh ensures that your feet remain cool and dry even during intense workouts. The reflective overlays provide added visibility during low-light conditions, enhancing safety.
Lastly, let's talk about the Durability. The non-marking rubber sole is designed to offer traction and withstand regular use, making them a reliable choice for any active lifestyle.

User Reviews
Fits perfectly, comfortable and looks good.
Light weight comfortable shoes. Purchased for 1 day trip (with air travel) to Disneyland. Wore right out of the box for a 16 hour day and had no blisters!
I bought these shoes for a whirlwind 3 day walking tour of New York City and they were great! The Ryka website says this shoe runs small, and I always size up in athletic shoes so I ordered a full size larger than my regular shoe size and they fit perfectly with plenty of room in the toe box. They arrived 2 days before my trip so I wore them both days before the trip to break them in. Overall the shoes were comfortable out of the box. At first, the top of the shoes were stiff so that when my toes were bent the top fabric would fold down and rub the top of my foot. This quickly went away within a day or two of wear. I replaced the insoles with orthotic ones (I do this with all athletic shoes), and they were cool and very comfortable for the 3-day, 90*F, 67K step walking tour of NYC! (photo was taken today, after the trip).
The overall fot was fine except that the back portion of the shoe is too high. It rubbed a blister onto the heel of my foot.
Returned these. Size & comfort-wise, they were on the edge of unwearable. Working on my feet as a licensed massage therapist, I don't have time to count on things 'breaking in'.Bought on prime day so may have been inattentive- but it wasn't until I received shoe & looked at receipt that I became aware this was a USED item. I don't buy used shoes as a rule, but wore these around the house a bit since I like Ryka. Is that what the 'Re-Run' means? The screen I bought it from did not make it clear that it was used.
I love the support & footbed of these sneakers. I only gave 4 stars bc the wide size is not wide.
Love Ryka! These always fit me perfectly and are super comfortable.
