User Reviews
Comfortable right out of the box.Roomy toe box for wide feet.Ultra lightweight.Excellent comfortability for being on your feet all day.I'll be buying Ryka shoes from now on because they are comfortable, lightweight, and fit my feet perfectly.
I bought these sneakers because it had a 14 mm heel to toe which is what I needed for achilles tendonitis. It's a very sturdy shoe and surprisingly comfortable because it does not have thick cushion inside the sneakers. I would have given this a 4.5 rating because I would have liked a little bit more cushion inside the sneakers. It's still comfortable though. I got the navy blue and I love the color. I have no regrets buying these sneakers.
This brand in my size of 7.5 did not fit well; as a result I returned the shoe. However, the shoe was attractive and sturdy….just wished it did fit.
These sneakers are a true to size fit and very comfortable.
I always wear size 6 or the occasional 6.5 (I also have two other Ryka shoes, one in each size). ordered these in 6 because it was $35 cheaper than the 6.5 lol. loved the look and cushion when walking! the only issue is that they’re juuusssttt a bit tighter than i would like at the toes. really bummed because i don’t want to pay more for the 6.5 even though i think it i’d like them way more 🥲 Definitely recommend though and just watch pricing for your size(s)!
These are very comfortable. The toe box is wide and there is good arch support. I also have room if I want to put my custom arch supports in them too.
I was very excited to wear these shoes as I am on my feet all day working in medical, but....as they are very comfortable, they made my body ache like no shoe before it! By 2 p.m. I had to take 4 Ibphrophen! I will never wear them to work again, but maybe an hour or two with my jeans may be okay.
It was perfect for my needs...size up 1/2 size tho..
