Good little shoe for everyday activities, but not if you’re a serious walker, the shoe is kind of flimsy and does not have much support. Ryka used to make a great walking shoe, but they changed their products, so I'm still searching for a good walking shoe with a good stabilizer.

I am a physical therapist and have been wearing Rykas since they were first introduced and have recommended them to 100's of patients. I am not happy with the changes they have made in their shoes. They do not fit as well and are just not as comfortable for "all day, on your feet" work like I do. I am sad that I am going to have to start trying other brands after 25 years of complete comfort from these shoes.

To be used for volunteer work in Hospital. Soles squeaked loudly with every step - hardly suitable for a quiet environment!

Love these shoes. I really like the way the heel hugs your foot. Most sneakers have a wide heel which rubs and irritates my skin, but these don't they are great. They also have extra room in the toe area so your feet don't get cramped. This makes it really nice when you are walking long distances or working out and your feet start to swell. I would definitely recommend this shoe to anyone looking for a comfortable walking shoe.

I'd also recommend: Merrell

I already owned this shoe in the azalea color. Size 6 fit me perfect, but when I ordered the same shoe in this blue color, the size 6 was too short. Although I always wear a size 6, I had to get the 6 1/2 and it seems to work better for me.

I have never bought Ryka shoes. I have had trouble lately buying sport shoes. I am apparently allergic to the synthetics manufacturers are using. My feet start to burn after a couple of hours. Thankfully these particular shoes are not bothering my feet. They are very comfortable. I did have to order half a size larger then my normal size. I have worn them all day with no problems. The toe area is nice and large so my toes do not feel scrunched.
