First, I rarely write reviews and I have never bought shoes online. I do read reviews and it was the well written reviews that convinced me to buy the Sky Walk Trail Shoe. I have aging feet that are widening and am never sure of my size anymore. I need a good tread for hiking light to medium trails (flat, inclines, rocky, gravel) and also for walking in my hilly neighborhood on asphalt. I wanted a light weight shoe as my feet now get tired more easily in a heavier hiking boot. From the first moment I put them on I was totally surprised with the comfort and I couldn't have been happier that they were equally as comfortable on the trail. I have now worn them probably a dozen times and each time I find myself thinking about how comfortable they are. My toes could spread out and the shoe didn't hurt my bunion! Had a hard time figuring out what size I should order. I decided to order my new sometimes go to size 8M up from my size of 7.5M hoping they wouldn't be to large. They were perfect. Easy to put on and to tighten the laces. No slippage in the back. Right amount of room in the front. These shoes make my hiking so much more enjoyable. Highly recommend and will definitely order shoes from Ryk again! FYI - received delivery of the shoes many days earlier than the expected delivery date!

I was disappointed to find I could not remove the sock lining. I wear arch supports and need to remove it for them to fit properly. All the other Ryka shoes I have allowed me to do so. I was looking forward to trying the trail shoe as I walk a lot on paved paths and the soles are the first thing to wear out on my other Ryka shoes. I had hoped these would last longer. I returned them.

I'm a nurse, and these take such care of me that my feet don't even hurt after a 13-hour shift.

Not even sure how to feel about this. I tried this shoe on in a store and loved it but they only had a 10 which was a little too big. Ordered the 9.5 and was greatly looking forward to wearing. For some reason on the pair I got the insoles are held in by a massive hunks of glue that feel like walking on a marble???

I couldn't wait to try these on! They are awesome in every way and I can tell they will be great on my trail walks/hikes. I'm always a size 6 and these were no exception, even a little extra wiggle room for a thicker sock. Love!!

Can be tightened by the arch, plenty of room in the toe bed, and the heel doesn’t slip. They are perfect for me!

I have had these shoes for a few months. They are very comfortable and great to walk in. But for a shoe that is label for trail walking I would have expected the tread to last longer. The treads on my shoes are almost completely worn off. This is my first time buying Ryka shoe and will be my last.

I got a pair of these because they were so comfortable but within a month (and I wasn't wearing them everyday) the heal was showing wear and the toe started to to come apart

I have a few pair of Ryka, and they fit and feel great! I bought this style from a local shoe store. I wore them once for about an hour, to make sure they didn't hurt or rub. I planned to take them on an upcoming trip. I'm on that vacation now. I wore them all day, and the bottom part is already coming apart. The pink part of the sole is separating from the bottom. This is the second time I've worn them! I love the fit and comfort of Ryka shoes, but this shouldn't happen when they're still new. 5 stars for fit & comfort, 1 star for quality & durability. Very disappointing.

These shoes are okay for walking on the treadmill. At first I didn't like them as much as my last pair of Rykas (I think those were the Dash style) - these seem to have a cushier insole but stiffer outsole, whereas my old ones had a firmer insole and cushier outsole. These feel flatter when walking, and I can feel more of the surface under my feet. But so far they've been working fine.

Ordered these in my usual size (7), but they were a little snug. I ordered a 1/2 size up and they fit much better. Although I’ve only worn them indoors to ensure that the new size is correct, they are VERY comfortable. I ordered the grey/purple color combination - the colors are as shown online.

I'm glad I took another chance and ordered the Ryka Sky Walk Trail - they fit much better! My 3rd pair of Ryka Skywalk fit very badly and hurt my feet, which are one step away from needing bunion surgery. The new Sky Walk Trail in size 9W is - I measured it - 1/4 inch wider, which makes a world of difference for me! For those who aren't aware, Ryka wide width is truly wide - I have always measured D width - but years of cramming my poor feet into B width shoes made my bunions worse, and now I have crossover toes as well. But I'll be able to walk the dogs for up to one hour with this new style. Please please please Ryka, don't skimp on your quality control - keep these wide width shoes truly wide, and keep me out of the hospital until COVID is over!!! Black/teal color combo is cute without being loud!!

Love this new shoe—really comfortable, and accommodates a fairly pronounced bunion without irritation. My one small reservation is that the shoe laces seem rather slight/thin/puny. I’m afraid they might not last long.

I used to wear Easy Spirit and liked those shoes. But I’ve worn only Rykas for some years now.

I ordered a second pair of the Ryka Sky Walk Trail in the black/green combo, for when the first pair wears out. I've been ordering Ryka from Zappos for many years. Their wide width fits so well that I can wear them right out of the box. I have a true wide foot, plus bunions that make them even wider, hammertoes, etc - I really need a wide width shoe. But, I have a narrow heel, like many women - so it matters that Ryka is designed for women (not small men, like some other manufacturers). Sky Walk Trail is dependable for everyday activities, plus occasional off-road dog walks - I have 3 good size dogs, so solid traction and support is important. I thank Zappos for continuing to stock Ryka shoes, and sincerely hope they continue to do so. Delivery was terrific, as usual.

Ryka shoes are the best! I am an avid pickleball player and have great cross training shoes for this from Ryka. On days that I do not play pickleball, I try to walk and the Sky Walk shoes are excellent!!

This has been the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. It feels like I'm walking on marsh mellows. It makes your foot look small (wear a size 10) and the colors are sharp. Let's your feet breathe.
