RykaWomen's Devotion Plus 3 Walking Shoe

Wide width finally!! I must have tried on and returned three or four different brands of “wide width” sneakers from Amazon before I found these! They arrived today and looked a little narrow at first but I opened up the laces, slipped in my foot and HOORAY! A perfect fit. Walked around the living room and found I even had a little wiggle room for end of the day foot swelling. I am so delighted w these sneakers I am ordering a second pair in a different color!! Definitely has arch support, they don’t dig in anywhere as far as I can feel and they LOOK CUTE!! I love the purple accents. What’s also nice is that they are well made. There isn’t a ton of glue on the area where they glue the sole to the upper. The adidas sneakers I bought were pretty messy w dried glue. These look great and feel great- very flexible right out of the box. I can’t wait to wear them out and come back to update!!

Absolutely wonderful brand of shoe!!! Made for women, by women. Not big and clunky. Ryka shoes have a wide toe box, yet a more narrow heel, even the ‘regular’ width has a naturally wider toe box than other brands, so I dont recommend getting a wide width unless u have super wide feet all over. Just my $0.02. The ONLY and I mean ONLY thing I didn’t care for with this particular model of shoe is this—I tried to change out the laces with different laces. It took me over half an hour for one shoe because there isn’t really ‘eyelets’. I couldn’t get the aglet in the hole easily. Nobody’s fault. Just stating a fact. LOVE LOVE Ryka shoes!!!!!! Edit—Unfortunately, I will have to return these because I am having a hell of a time getting the laces thru these little slits. Also, I forgot to mention that these run big, so I recommend going down a full size. I still give these 5 stars!

I have a wide foot and walk from 2=4 miles a day. I have tried multiple athletic brands and then saw this one advertised in a magazine for women. They fit wonderfully, are incredibly comfortable from day 1 and have the support and padding that I need for walking. I bought 4 pairs of this specific model over a 2 yr period. None of the shoes lasted over 6 mos before the support was gone, heel and bottom were worn or crumbling or holes started forming in the toe box. I stuck with them because it is such a pain. The last time, I switched to a different model, the Ryka Women's, Devotion X Walking Shoe hoping for a better outcome. It's been 4 mos and the heel is worn through and the support is nearly gone. As much as I like these shoes, I may have to look for another brand. :-( Maybe this is normal for athletic sneakers now. But if so - they don't make 'em like they used to!

These are incredibly comfortable sneakers. I'm on my feet all day, and my job involves walking a lot. It's like walking on clouds that are cushy in all the perfect places for my feet -- complete comfort with great arch support. My only wish is that black/multicolor really meant black/multicolor. I have the earlier iteration of these sneakers, and the reflector strips on those have a lot of blue and green. These have almost entirely purple, with only a tiny bit of green in certain light. That leaves them as really dark shoes. Nonetheless: I love these sneakers because they look great and are just incredibly comfortable.

After 3 months of light walking on pavement and work floors, they had to be tossed. Their excessive slipperyness (from rapidly degrading trad) is dangerous. The bottoms that absorb and retain odors due to their porous nature makes them impossible to wear.DON'T BUY if you plan to use them outside. They're good for work/gym for as long as the tread lasts, but it doesnt last long (~3mo light walking elderly, tiny dog (no running/jumping) on pavement/grass is what it took mine). It may last longer if used strictly inside. Arch support is noticable, which takes time to get used to, but no blisters. Good fit (wider toe box).Long review: Within ~3mos the bottoms wore down to the extent that they're very slippy and unsafe for work. They're amazingly like socks. I slipped while quickly turning a corner in my lab! **Pavement is safe**After ~1mo they begin stink!! Figuring out the cause took me past the return window. Initially I thought cat urine(!)had doubts bc: 1)the smell is only on bottoms of the shoes - not the insides/fabric, 2) UV light investigation showed no signs of urine anywhere on or near them, and 3) they were stored in an unaccessible location after the initial smell (~7 months ago -- yes, I SHOULD'VE THROWN THEN OUT THEN, but with them having had so little use, I didn't want to be wasteful and assumed a good clean could save them)Anything you step in outside, soaks into the shoe bottom, and stays... but it could just be from the porous bottoms getting wet from dew (they've never been in like puddles) that causes the rank smell.The strong smell prevents me from wearing them to work. It's embarrassing. I've washed, left them in the heat, left them in the extreme cold, etc. and while this does work enough to where I don't smell them ~15ft away, but then anytime you use them outside again they stink again. They emit such a noxious ammonia-esque smell, they must be left outside.

My second time buying this brand. I loved the other and they lasted a long time. So when I saw these and was needing shoes, I bought them. They fit great and were very comfortable. The third day I went walking in them, the treads started peeling off. I nearly tripped as the larger heel tread hung up on a patch of some gravel I was walking on.I'm guessing this was some kind of glitch on the production line that didn't get caught right away. Otherwise, I would have given them a lower rating. This was just very disappointing at the time.

Perfect sneaker for walking have good support and are light weight.
