Customer Reviews Ryka Sky Walk

Love, love, love my new shoes. Felt like old friends from the first time I slipped into them. My rather wide foot needs a particularly wide toe-box, but like most women's feet, my heel area is quite narrow. Ordered the 9 wide. It arrived with plenty of toe box room and a nice snug fit in the back, with no heel slip. If still available, I am ordering a second pair. One for getting down and dirty and one for wearing in the house that will stay clean. Perfection would be: I do wish this shoe was offered in different colors.

I was a bit apprehensive about the price of these shoes in regards to comfort and quality. I went with the previous reviews and am glad that I did. These shoes are so light and comfortable. I have very narrow heels and they cradle them perfectly. I must have been on my feet eight hours straight with next to no break in period for these shoes and my feet had zero pain after all the walking that I had done that day. I found the toe box to run a bit wide, but it did not effect the way the shoes felt on my feet. I normally wear a 7½ or 8. The 8M fit me perfectly in this style. I think I have found a new brand to wear. These are great walking shoes with a super cute look.

Been searching for a comfortable walking shoe for the gym. This one is perfect and has a memory foam insert that keeps my feet snug and cool. Plus there isn't any rubber on the side that rubs my union or corn on pinky toe.

These are great! I was having a super hard time finding a new sneaker that would fit my odd feet. (Duck feet!) Read about Ryka making shoes more roomy in front and narrower in heel. Fit perfectly! I have tended to buy W shoes to accommodate, but then would get blisters from heel slipping. These were so comfy straight out of the box. Good support, great cushioning. I ordered another pair for my outdoor walks.

I don't usually order shoes on line because of the hassle if it doesn't fit. But I would highly recommend the Ryka Sky Walk. The fit is perfect and they are very comfortable.

After reading about how great Ryka were for women with narrow heels and wide feet I thought for sure I would find a pair that worked for me. I ordered three styles and they were all very strange in their own ways. This one has an insole I've never seen in any other shoe. It's puffy, like a pillow. So rather than being angled up to meet the sides of the shoe (like a cradle or a cup) there's this gap between the insole and the side of the shoe. Imagine standing on a pillow that is just slightly too small for your foot. Unless the shoe is WAY too big, your toes are going to constantly feel the edge of the insole, as mine did, and it was really annoying. If not for that fatal flaw, they could have worked.

I wanted these to be "the ones" of the three pair I ordered. I ordered my normal size 9. My right foot is almost half a size smaller than my left so I usually always try on the left shoe first. However I already had a different one on my left foot so I pulled out the right one. I was shocked to find my toes smashed into what felt like a seemingly comfortable footbed. I immediately checked the size on the box and shoe to make sure I hadn't been sent the wrong size. Unfortunately these will be going back but fortunately returns are easy with Zappos. I did like the color and style.

Cute -- but not "walking shoes". They're fine for just wearing around town, but not great for light trail hiking (felt every stone on the path) or even walking on concrete. Not what I was looking for, but I'll keep them because they look good, fit my feet and have a roomy toe box for my bunions.

I tried these shoes because of the great ladies who took the time to post a review. Thank you! These shoes are perfect with plenty of room in the toe area & yet not too wide in the heel. Size & width were spot on. Wonderfully comfortable. I've spent twice this amount on athletic shoes only to have send them back. Thanks, as always, to the Zappos family for making it so easy to try new shoes in the comfort of your home!

This shoe is nice and cushioned. It is also a pretty shoe. If you have much of a bunion, the lace seam might hit your joint, since the toe box is not very deep.

This shoe was cut too short in the toe area. I thought maybe I could go up 1/2 a size, but I could tell that it would end up being too big in the heel area (the shoe I tried on was almost too big in the back) It almost looked like the front was as narrow as the back. The memory foam was comfortable at first, but after my foot had been in them for several hours, I could feel the hard bottom through my feet and my heels started aching. There is not much "spring" under the memory foam. As far as the style, I thought they were rather cute off me and horrible looking on me. They were too big and too small on me at the same time. Might work for someone else, but not for me.

I've been wearing almost exclusively New Balance sneakers for years, because they exist in a size 10.5 which is hard to find, and have usually fit me well. But finding no styles that suited me this spring, I branched out to try these (I'd never heard of the brand before) and I'm quite glad I did: I bought them 10 days before a week-long trip to Walt Disney World with my family. Not only did we tromp around 5-15 miles of stop-and-go walking per day, but I'm also finishing out the end of my second trimester of pregnancy... and yet I'm the only one of us who came out of the week without sore feet or blisters. They're worth every cent I paid. The construction is solid without being weighty and the memory foam insoles are surprisingly comfortable. The cut, with the roomy toe box, is also quite nice. I did have to go up a half-size from usual for length, after realizing the 10.5 bumped uncomfortably on the end of my toes, but once I did they were great. As a caveat, I have weird, super-flat feet and so I look for shoes NOT to have arch support. I found these very comfortable, which means someone with extra-high arches might need something different.

Was so happy when I opened the box, the color and style was perfect. I was then disappointed that the insole is not removable, and I need to use my own. The last Ryka sneaker I bought was the Ryka Devotion Plus. I purchased them last year and love them. In their description it did not mention a removable insole, but I could make the switch. I assumed that this pair would also have removable insoles. Not sure if I will order another pair, since I cannot rely on the description being accurate

Love these shoes. Wanted to wait to review until I had used them for a few weeks. Ryka never disappoints, have purchased their running shoes in the past but this is my first experience with their walking shoes. I do a weekly 2 mile walk and these were perfect out of the box for walking. I would not recommend jogging or running in these (I attempted this to test out the shoes) but somehow the construction of these are ideal for walking and the natural gait. Great arch support for my high arches and medium width feet. I typically wear an 8.5M but always go .5 size up with athletic shoes so the 9M fits perfectly. Great sale price as well.

Perfect! Replacement for identical pair. After trying Ryka about 4 years ago I've worn nothi g else since. Daily shoes, water shoes. Fabulous support and fit. I'm a super plus size lady and therefore hard on shoes. Ryka never disappoint and last very well.

Love Rykas. Have had several pairs and they always fit great! Like the Wide width. Nice looking shoes

Last year I purchased 3 pairs of SkyWalk in Wide (D width) from Zappos. I don't have any problems with my feet - except I wear a 7 wide. A couple of days ago, I was on this site and noticed that the black/pink pair was on sale and they offered a C width - which is the width I need. Received the sneakers today and put them on - and ahhhhhh!!!!! The sizes at the bottom of the tongue of the shoe are the same as the D width - but they do feel a little narrower. Hugs my feet and are sooooooo comfortable - and BEAUTIFUL. I always wear socks with them. Ryka is the only brand of sneakers that I can wear.

I was unsure about size. Glad I went with size 11 & not 11 1/2 in other brand. My foot measures exactly 10 1/2" standing on ruler from furthest point on heel (above where it curves under) to longest toe. I thought my toes would touch the end of the shoe (like in my really old pair of Ryka); but, I have a perfect little amount of space between toes and end of shoe. Width is perfect too. I ordered a size M (B). They look narrower than they feel ;) I do wish Ryka made shoes for longer feet instead of stopping at 11. What if my feet get longer- again. My sis wears an 11 1/2 or 12. I think Ryka is missing a larger market. Great arch support too. While it is working, I will try out putting my arch support in as it will extend the arch support height further forward/make it longer. I know my foot will still fit in easily with the added piece (the built in support & padding is not removable but won't need to remove it.) Only minor complaint is that it could use some more padding in the front, (The height of the toe box would allow for it :). Love the fact that the shoe has reinforcement in design that will hold up where shoes tend to wear out at toes, along outside by little toe. The heel is reinforced as well. A good looking and well made shoe! VERY HAPPY :D

cute shoe but has a pointed narrow toe box (good for fashion but not for an athletic shoe) nice cushion and arch support.

THESE SHOES ARE CUTE TO LOOK AT, BUT NOT FOR ME. I FELT NO ARCH SUPPORT IN THEM AT ALL AND RETURNED THEM.

Overall these are very comfortable. Great memory foam insert, although I added a velcro strip underneath because it might slide around or come out when you take your shoe off. The tounge has a bulge in the middle that takes some tightening and adjusting to get rid of. All in all a 4.5 I'd say

I am really happy with this shoe! I bought it on the strength of another reviewer saying these shoes were comfortable on her bunions. That is my usual problem with athletic shoes as well, so I just went with them. They are without question the most comfortable athletic shoes I've owned in years. They look nice and don't hurt my bunions, and they do great with my plantar fasciitis as well. I did have to add some insoles for that, but seriously, these shoes are really comfy. I will be buying more in the future. Other reviewers said these run wide, so I ordered the standard width, but next time I will order the wide, because the shoe is touching both sides of the wide part of my foot.

The cushioning in the sole, from what I could feel was lovely. However, the toe was so narrow I really couldn't get either foot fully in the shoe. Back they go!

I normally wear an 8.5 and need a wide toe box. I got these in 8.5 W. Perfect fit. Very comfortable, maybe a little lightweight. Nice color combination. Very nice walking shoe.
