I saw that this walking shoe got 5 stars and everyone raved about them. They are nice, but I only gave them 4 stars for the following reasons: 1) they are a little short. If you are on the top end of your shoe size, order a 1/2 size up 2) they are definitely breathable! I think they'd be great for indoor walking, or walking in the spring or summer, but for outdoor walking in the fall or winter, your feet might get a little chilled 3) I found there wasn't enough padding for the balls of my feet. I plan on keeping the shoes, because they're not awful, but next time I'll go back to New Balance.

I got these specifically for walking my dogs. I'm a fast walker. Wow, are they comfortable. And they also felt really supportive in all the right places. Usually, I add in arch supports, but I see no need here. I wear a 9 or a 9 1/2, but I got a 9 here.

Best walking shoe I've ever owned -- great value too! I always thought New Balance and Asics couldn't be topped, but these shoes were great for me right out of the box. Absolutely no break in time required for me and I usually need it. Couldn't be happier with the shoe or Zappos. I wear size 8 1/2 - 9 in street shoes and 9 1/2 in athletic shoes. The 9 1/2 is perfect for me.

I love these sneakers. They are so comfortable for walking. My first pair got a little rundown after heavy use and I couldn't find them in any store. Then I remembered Zappos. Ordering was easy, delivery quick and I'm happy!

Researched these walking shoes in Consumers' Report. Could only find online but although cheaper elsewhere, couldn't find size. Heard Zappos was reliable so ordered, had them quickly, love them because they are so light and comfortable, no sweating, and won't hesitate to order from Zappos again because so prompt and efficient.

I have a bad heel spur and these were recommended by a physical therapist to help deal with the pain. I can't say enough about these shoes. I'm back on the tread mill and no longer dread walking around the store or for work. If you have foot pain, you can't go wrong with these shoes.

These are marvelous shoes! I have foot deformities that make wearing any shoe difficult, but the Ryka radiant is fantastic. I also bought the Ryka Sport Walker Advance. They are my #1 treadmill shoe...so comfy. I own 3 pairs of Ryka shoes and they are all top notch. Great toe box room with a narrower heel than most athletic shoes. Mostly, I love Zappos. Best, no-hassle company you will ever order from.

I have worn Ryka's for years! You just can't beat these shoes. You will definitely want this style of Ryka's if you do a lot of walking - they are light, yet very supportive.

This is the second pair of this shoe that I have purchased. I wore the first pair out! They are very comfortable and I would recommend these to anyone that is on their feet all day. I also have a similar pair in black.

Best walking shoes I've ever had. Comfortable right out of the box. Bought 1/2 size larger to allow for socks. Wide fore foot and narrow heel is like custom fit for my hard to fit feet.

This is my second pair of Ryka shoes and I am a huge fan of Ryka! This pair, just like the first, feel great right out of the box. I use them mainly for walking my dog. My feet hurt a lot and these are very comfortable!

This is my second pair of Ryka radiant, and I'm sure not the last! They're awesome. The 9B fits perfectly, even with my orthotics. There's plenty of toe room, and I've worn both a thick and thin sock. I'm a power walker who jogs a little, too. I love the neutral color, as they look good with workout and casual (errand) clothes, and I really love Zappos fast service!

I purchased these after a running injury forced me to become a walker. They are very comfortable, and the darker color makes them a little different than regular old white athletic shoes. I may get them in another color just for everyday wear.

These shoes fit comfortably from the first try on. I can wear them all day, and they still feel good. I wear a 9 and sometimes have to take a wide, but these 9's are great in the width (no need for a wide). I also have a high arch, and the arch is very supportive.

Love this shoe! I've had the same style for years. Just not crazy about this color combination. By the way, I wear an 8 in most shoes, but 8.5 in Ryka's, so I'll mark it that it feels a half size smaller.

I really like these sneakers. They are comfortable, supportive and attractive. They go well with Khaki and brown slacks. Much preferable to wearing white sneakers!! I am delighted that they actually came in size 10 1/2. Normally that is not an option! Love Ryka sneakers. I own 6 pair!!

Love them, my feet are hard to fit because of hallux rigidus, and these are superbly comfortable.

Lovely shoe for style and great choice for treadmill or workout. No problem for my narrow foot (was not available in narrow sizing); ties are sufficient for snugging the fit as you like it. There is not much arch support; the insert removes easily to exchange with my off-the-shelf orthotic. The price is very good for the shoe, but comparable to more expensive shoes when I added in the cost of the orthotic. I would purchase another pair of these or another by this maker.

Love them! Very comfortable. Ryka always seems to run a little small, so I always order 1/2 size larger than normal.

I love these shoes. They are lightweight and supportive. They are also quite cushiony on the sole. It is hard to find good cross trainers; these are it! I have been buying them for 2 years now, and I will rue the day when they stop making them. The only negative thing I can say about them is that they appear to wear out quickly. I have to replace them every 5 months or so after walking about 20 miles per week on them and using them at the gym (no running). Perhaps this is normal wear... in any case I love the shoe.

A good-looking shoe. It fits and feels great. I have a wide toe area, but small heel and this shoe feels great. No break- in, could wear them all day. Very lightweight too.

This is the 3rd pair of Ryka shoes I have owned. Right out of the box they were comfortable, even without socks. I did have to buy a half size larger as my toes hit the front when walking. I have recommended these to many friends.
