I really wanted to love these shoes. Super comfortable and the style I was looking for. But there is a seam connecting the front of the shoe to the portion under the laces, and it lies just underneath where the lace crosses over (so it's not visible unless you move the lace). This seam causes the shoes to bend sharply across the seam when you walk, which is really uncomfortable across the top of the foot. Super bummed out! Had to return them. I hope they will change the construction in future designs.

Excited for this style and color. They're lightweight and comfortable for standing. However, they're are uncomfortable to walk in. The seam under the top of the laces near where the toe bend is cuts across my foot and is extremely uncomfortable. Not sure if it's a "breaking-in" issue or a manufacture issue. But these are not what I was expecting.

I depend on Ryka sport shoes to fit my wide width foot with bunions and hammer toes. Their magic lies in the carefully sculpted sole. These sneakers did not have it. Plus the fabric at the front of the foot, between toe and laces, was cut so that there was no extra height to accommodate toe movement, resulting in rubbing which would have led to corns. Finally, the shoe looked clunky on, compared to Keds. I'll still buy Ryka for active walking and hiking shoes, but will stay away from their casual shoes that don't have that true wide width in the sole.
I'd also recommend:
Keds, Arcopedico

The fit and size was great. The seam on the toe box hurts to walk.

These are so comfortable, but after only a month of wear the faux leather has started to crack and break down, and it looks like the sole of the shoe will soon come away from the edge of the top of the shoe as well.
I was so disappointed upon noticing these issues as I really wanted to love these shoes. Too cheaply made for me to want to spend money on this brand again, especially given that the month of wear was just mild walking around town.

Got them a few days ago. Really disappointed. The seam on the top of the shoe is a design flaw, very painful walking. I'm going to have to return and buy a different brand

I ordered these in the blue and I love them. I had to send back another brand's pair in white but I ordered another pair of these Ryka's in a different color. I have a wide (D width) foot and I have swelling on and off and these were comfortable right out of the box with no irritating seams. This is my 1st pair of Ryka shoes and it's so nice to find a brand that fits me well with my arthritis and edema issues.
I'd also recommend:
Bob's from Sketchers, Halsa, Allegria, Cobb Hill and 'some' Clark's and Easy Spirit's

I love the comfort and fit of Ryka shoes for me. I have a physical disability and can wear very few types of shoes and love the silver as it dresses up the shoes. They give you the comfort and the look I wanted. Am so pleased with them.

These shoes are in the popular flat white sneaker style making them appropriate with jeans, dresses, or leggings. But they're comfortable as only a Ryka shoe is. And they have the pivot point on the sole making them suitable for cardio dance classes as well.

I love the looks of these shoes so much I also bought them in black and beige after I got the gray ones. Style wise they remind me of a sophisticated Chuck but much more comfortable. I have even considered getting rid of all my Chucks. (Still haven't though). All the pairs I bought are suede which I love for winter. Where I live it gets cold but we don't have much snow so suede works. These seem to keep my feet warm although I haven't worn them out for long outdoor treks or in the rain (I use other Ryka for those things). I would highly recommend them!

This is one of the most comfortable sneakers ever! Just as comfortable as my walking shoes. I have had about 10 pairs of Ryka walking shoes. This is my first sneaker! Highly recommend! Price is good too! I always buy 1/2 size bigger allowing for socks.

Another winner from Ryka! I love that these are so fashionable and comfortable right out of the box with no break-in period. I wore them all day multiple days in a row while on vacation and had no issues. Being white, they can scuff easily but I was able to get most out with my finger and the tougher marks are quickly removed with a little water on a paper towel or with a magic eraser.

Had been on the hunt for a classic white sneaker for a long time. Ordered these last minute on sale thanks to a recommendation from my Mom. Loved them! Comfortable to walk in, true to size, and the perfect understated look!

I bought these in blue and they are SO comfortable I got them in black. I wish they made them in RED! While shopping, a lady stopped me to ask where to get them. She said they were perfect, exactly what she wanted & took a picture. I bet she is ordering them tonight. I wore them all day shopping. BEST most COMFORTABLE shoes ever. I wear a 6.5 wide. THANK you RYKA for making wides!!!!

My new Rykas were comfortable right out of the box; no break-in needed. Some reviewers spoke about an uncomfortable band near the toe of the shoes, but I haven't noticed that at all. I wear a 6.5 W to accommodate a bunion, and they're perfect. I highly recommend this comfortable and good-looking shoe.

Like walking on a cloud, more comfortable than my house slippers with no break-in peroid. I love Ryka shoes. My foot runs on the narrow side and I have a high arch. These are true to size and fit my narrowish foot. I ordered 7.5 M. Thank you Zappo's!

I wanted a cute, every day pair of white sneakers and, having a wide foot, couldn't find them anywhere. I had these on all day and they were so comfortable right out of the box. I ordered another pair.
