As soon as I tried this shoe on and walked around in them, I knew they were going to be a great shoe. However, I wanted to give it a hard test to see how durable they were and if they lived up to their promise of keeping your feet from getting tired. Well, I recently wore them when I went to San Francisco. I walked all over the place and my feet never got tired or sore. Whereas my husband, who was wearing a pair of a very well known brand of athletic shoes, had to sit down a few times because his feet were hurting. These shoes are amazing and an absolute must whenever you go on vacation any where. When you go on vacation, you generally do a lot of walking. You need the kind of shoe that will support your foot. These shoes run very true to size. Now because I have a narrow, flat foot, I have to use inserts in all my shoes because I require extra arch support. For most everyone else, no additional support is necessary. These shoes also accompany me to the gym where I can do my fitness walking on the treadmill. I am already feeling the benefits of this wonderful shoe.

After checking out several different brands of this type of toning walking shoe- I knew this would be the best choice.
First of all- they are very lightweight, compared to several of the other competitors-definitely not klunky feeling at all. I also like the mesh-they keep the feet from getting too heated- and that's a big plus.

I work 8 - 12 hours a day on my feet and I'm happy to say that these are a great improvement over my previous shoes. My feet and legs aren't screaming at the end of the shift like they used to. In fact, they feel pretty good.

There is excellent arch support, and despite another review claiming there is no heel, rest assured, there is ( 1 1/2" heel) and it has great support and just the right amount of cushion. I went with the white and jade-which goes with my uniform and I've gotten a lot of compliments on them, even my husband, who rarely comments on my pick of shoes, couldn't believe how nice they look and if they actually do what they promise-he'll even be more happy-lol!

These are designed to help tone your legs while walking. What could be more easier and honestly, after a quick adjustment period (for me just a few hours) to the design of the shoe, that actually does seem to help propel you, these are incredibly comfortable to wear for extended periods of time, be it general walking or working long hours.

I believe I made the better choice with these over another brand that had been well advertised, but when I tried the other pair on, they felt way heavier and I can't imagine that feeling too good for the long periods of time that these are worn.

Love them! I'm already to order a second pair for home use, they are that comfortable.

Ryka's fit my feet well. I have a very narrow heel and a wide forefoot. I have had Ryka shoes in the past and never had any problems with them. I decided to buy these since they were on special. I am glad I bought these shoes. I love the Rocker Bottom Soles. I have flat feet to compound my foot problems. The wide toe box, nice cushion support, and the fit on the heel is great. I just bought a pair of Skechers Shape Ups and I like them but they don't fit my feet as well. I hope they have these on sale again.

These shoes are not as comfortable as Sketchers or New Balance toning shoes, but I wouldn't call them uncomfortable, and they fit fine, for the price I paid. The trouble is that after a month of wearing them they are falling apart. There are now holes at the top corners of the toe area of the shoes where the meshy fabric is sewn to the Leather. When the first hole appeared I dismissed it as maybe a glitch on the one shoe, however now I have 4 holes, two on each shoe. I tend to be hard on my shoes due to my job, but the soles are always what gives first, so this was a surprise for me.

I wear them 5-6 days a week without a twinge. From a day in the office to several hours of walking outdoors not a complaint. Both pairs have run true to size. Unlike some reviews I read, I didn't have any issues with the rocking motion. I don't know how toning they are...but they are my top all around shoe. The shape of the shoe is more noticeable in the white than in the black.
As always shipping was very prompt from Amazon!

I absolutely love these shoes... I bought 2 pairs exactly the same, so one was my working outside get dirty and don't care pair. I use to have terrible problems with restless legs at night, and I had dark spots behind my knees from a cut off of circulation. Not anymore. These shoes feel like they stretch out my whole leg and they are so comfortable to walk in I can't stand my old Nike's anymore. I have toned up my legs too. I don't know if it's really so much the shoes as the fact that they are so much more comfortable to walk in, but I loss 10 lbs within a couple of months of wearing these, so I went from 120 to 110 pounds (I am 5 foot even). I strongly recommend these shoes, they are worth every penny. I tried the shape ups and all that, but they made me feel like I was going to fall. The Ryka's seem to give more stability and make me feel light on my feet, after I got use to them I wear them everywhere and all of the time.

I have never before bought this brand, but from now on it will be the only brand of athletic shoe that I will buy. They are made for a woman's foot and they are beyond confortable.. The toe box is a little wider, and the heel is a little more narrow. You don't feel like you are getting a work out but my core balance is much better and my calves are tighter.

I purchased my first pair of these shoes about a year ago and loved them. I'm a nurse and need a good shoe for work and this one fills the bill. I've worn Ryka shoes for years and love the brand. I was saddened when I found that this style had been discontinued from their line, but was so very excited when I found this seller had some in my size. The shoes were delivered quickly and packaged well. Thanks so much!

These are the most comfortable and wonderful shoes I have ever owned in my life!! Great for someone with back problems and high arches who spends 8-12 hours a day walking and standing on concrete or tile floors. I was very disappointed when I contacted Ryka and found out they are no longer producing these shoes so I have ordered 4 pairs through Amazon for the future!!

Love these - was looking for a lightweight rocker-sole type shoe and these fit the bill perfectly. Soles a bit slippery on wet cobblestone, so I avoid wearing them in the rain. These are much more comfortable that the much higher priced MBT shoes were.
