User Reviews
I like this brand, Ryka. it’s hard to find sandals that give you some coverage on your toes and your heel so I chose this one. I like the comfort of Rikka shoes and the fit is good too because I have a damaged foot and this works well.
Comfortable, nice looking.
Perfect fit! good arch support; comfortable walking shoe; great for people with wide feet and bunions! The only suggestion I would have & why I gave it a4 instead of a 5 rating is they need to add some memory foam in the bottom of the shoe for customers with painful arthritic feet. I’m having to insert memory foam as I do in most of my shoes, if it’s not already in there because of bone spurs, bunions, and a neuroma on my foot. For people without major foot issues , I’m sure they would be perfect! They are so cute; something I’ve been having to forgo to get all my foot problems accommodated lately!
Being a Ryka fan for years I didn’t hesitate to purchase these shoes. They are comfortable enough but not the standard I am use to with Ryka. I’ll keep them for the beach but will not purchase another pair.
Oh wow! Comfortable right out of the box with no socks. I took a chance with the side slots -- my little toes stay firmly inside. The arch support could be a little higher and firmer but it is very ok. The perfect shoe for a casual walk, trip to the store, or dog walk. I definitely recommend.
Amazon will not let me post the photos of what these horrific sandals did to my heels so all I can do is say that they rubbed my feet raw. It’s been over a week and I still can’t go walking as a result of this product.
I bought these shoes for hiking. 1st wear was an all-day trip to Hershey's Park (almost 12hrs on my feet). I knew they would be comfortable but I didnt expect the 'breaking in' of these shoes to be painless. There was no chafing at the back of my heel nor irritation at the front where my toes rubbed against it. I thought my left pinky toe would pop out but it stayed put in the shoe all day. I like the wide fit and it is roomy as well. Based on my experience, my daughter also bought a pair for herself.
Comfortable, good arch support. I like the style and i like that they have 2 adjustable straps that make them more comfy. . Plus they were 40% off which helped me make the decision to buy them.
