Customer Reviews Ryka Hydro Sport Water Shoes

The fit and size feels perfect when I put the shoes on, but when I'm in the water one of the laces slips down making the shoe loose. It feels as though it will fall off during water aerobics.

I wear 10.5. Ordered 11. Cut narrow at toes. Still didn’t work for my feet. Too bad. They were pretty.

They look nice but they do run wide, I have more narrow feet so they are ok to run around in but not do exercise in.

These did not fit as well as Ryka's typically do. I have orthotics and these were way too shallow.

The long laces are a problem. Despite double knotting them, the shoes loosen during water exercise and feel as though they are going to fall off. I try tucking the ends of the knotted laces under the cross laces but that does not help. I have had Ryka shoes before and would buy a different water shoe style.

I found as did other reviewers that the shoes untied in the water. I double knotted the laces above the slip lock but the slip lock slipped during water exercises and I had to stop to adjust the shoe as it felt as if it might fall off. A friend with the same model shoe suggested that I put the laces under the section that goes across the shoe to keep the lace more snug. I will try that next time.

I loved the colors and the unique shoe closure. It was a comfortable shoe and I was kinda sad I didn't think I could make them work. I usually wear Brooks athletic shoes and the fit was very similar, but my feet require the thicker sole of the Brooks. I have plantar fasciitis that comes and goes and have had surgery for neuromas on both feet so I live in the athletic shoes and am not a runner. I also wondered about the cut-outs on the sole that provided some additional cushion for the heel. They seemed to go all the way to the footbed and I wondered if my feet would stay dry on wet days. Sadly, I am returning them.

I really want to love this shoe! However the shoelace design is less than optimal. All the pictures show the shoelace tucked into the shoe. This seems like it's not going to be the most comfortable. Really a ridiculous design.

So comfy and work really well in the pool BUT the laces are way to long and the sneaker take forever to air dry. I can’t wear them the next day, they are too damp to put on.

These water shoes felt larger and wider than Ryka Hydros I have purchased in the past. I feel that Rykas are a well-made shoe and are a good, substantial choice for water sports. These particular ones did not fit me and were returned. I wear a 9.5M in most shoes. My foot is on the narrow side.

I really wish this came in wide widths. I think I am going to have to resign myself to the fact that my foot is wide width now and I just can't wear a normal shoe anymore. I really loved the drawstring, it made the shoe adjustable, but still easy to put on. They are very light weight. I don't know about the performance, but they look like they are designed well for water-play. I thought they were very cute as well, loved the black and white. Wish I could keep.

They were comfortable until I started walking in them then my toe would get caught on the fabric. I couldn't imagine a long trip in these with wet feet.

I thought these might be a good option as a New Orleans' summertime walking shoe, with it's great ventilation. Nope. Silly me. Water shoes just aren't made as sturdy as regular tennies. Not enough support for regular walking, although I imagine they'd be ok in the water. Sadly, I have to return 'em.

A lovely shoe with a good fit except for my very high arch. The arch supports were nowhere near high enough for me. Too bad.

Tried a nine 1/2 (my size) and toes touched the top of the shoe. Then ordered a 10 and toes were semi okay, but way too much width and buckling of shoe fabric. when I bent my foot. Really just a bad fit all around.

The inside wasn't glued properly. I have another pair that are perfect in a different color.

This brand is known for being great but I know three women now who all say this particular color of the shoe just doesn’t last as long as previously owned Rykas. I feel mine are losing traction already. Super bummer.
