I really like these sneakers a lot, and this is my 4th pair of Ryka sneakers. I love the color of the stripes and details, and how the color shifts from blue to purple in the light.
Pros: They wear comfortably all day and have great arch support. I have plantar fasciitis, and these shoes help keep it from getting inflamed, even after prolonged walking or standing.
They are well made, and even after wearing them daily for the last few months, they still look practically new, and the colors have not faded at all.
Cons: This style of shoe is that it is not waterproof at all, and the shoe will fill with water if you step in a puddle on a rainy day. They did dry out rather quickly, though!
This shoe also runs slightly short. I normally wear a 7 1/2 but go to a size 8 in Ryka to keep my toes from hitting the inside front end of the shoe.
Overall, I will continue to purchase Ryka sneakers, as the value is great, and the quality is excellent.

From the manufacturer
Comfortable and lightweight
I have bought shoes from this brand before, and I have always been happy with my purchase. Especially when taking the chance of buying shoes online without trying them on first, that can be tricky. Luckily, I have had the best luck with buying Ryka shoes.This pair makes my third pair and the last eight years, I enjoy these shoes for long walks, casual outings, and those quick grocery store errands. They are even great for a work environment because the branding is not big and boldly in your face. Plus, it’s a great value for your money spent.Also, I added a picture of the day that I first wore the shoes out, and not too long after a dragonfly landed on my leg!

This is my 3rd pair. Unfortunately the first 2 were in my normal size 6.5, and I think my toe being right at the end wore out the stitches. So they were still supportive and comfortable just had toe hole. This pair I have sized up 7. When put on they fit great, roomy but not too much. They are very light weight and fabric is mesh and very breathable. Initially walking in house they do feel like like memory foam pillows under my feet. So comfy, the feel Great. The color is just great. I will definitely buy again. Absolutely would recommend to other women. Can't wait to have a full day in them they are so comfortable.

These Rykä Devotion 2 walking shoes are pretty! I guessed at the size, because it's been ages since I've worn sneakers; I got the 9.5M (UK 39.5), since I typically wear a UK 40--the size was a perfect fit! The arch hit where it needed to (which is why I went down a half size for the sneakers), the toe box had adequate room, front-to-back & side-to-side was all around comfortable (wearing medium thickness wool socks), without having gaping or pinching anywhere. I have a high instep, so there's usually some issue with "fit," but these were great.
Adjusting the strings was a bit difficult because of the atypical slots, which can be an issue for people who have arthritis or other hand issues.
Walk about & standing in my house test. Here's where the star deductions come in. I have hypermobile joints, so my ankles tend to "roll" (outwards) very easily. These shoes actually caused pronation (leaning/rolling towards the inside). I had to take each step cautiously, because of the lack of steady & sturdy support. Going from carpet to linoleum was quite a difference! There was improved steadiness on the harder surface, and that allowed me a moment to notice the "softness" with walking--that part was nice. I stood for about 2 minutes in the living room, on the carpet. This test showed me I would have issues with steadiness with just standing, and potential ankle rolls. That's an absolute "no-go" for me. I walked back to my bedroom, saddened I would have to return these otherwise comfortable fitting walking shoes.
I took the pictures while sitting on my bed.
Pros: all around comfortable, with no gaping or pinching.
Soft insole, like walking on cottony cloud.
Very pretty colors.
Cons: lack of steadilness & stuiness. Too easy to roll my ankle; injury risk.
I'll be stick with Kubua, also available here on Amazon.
