Ryka Womens Devoted RS Walking Shoes

Felt like heaven. Wore out fast. Back of the heel developed a hole within 2 months. Great cushioning and support. Solid traction. Poor longevity.

The Devoted Walking Sneaker's design is brilliant. At first, you think, what's with this toebox! The width feels just right but the fabric top is oddly roomy with airspace above your toes. The fabric is not stretched tightly, so it's a bit loose. Your toes can move. Toe bumps aren't rubbed. PLUS the heel is snug. So, when you lace up, your feet stay put and don't shift around. The snug heel plus roomy toebox mean your metatarsals don't get pinched or achy. ALL THIS, PLUS the shoe bed is super comfortable with incredible cushioning front and back. For me, the cushioning is so good that I don't even need my custom orthotics for bad metatarsals, something I've required for 30 years. fyi my other favorite Ryka model for daily use is Devotion X Walking Shoe, which provides a fit that's more tailored with fabulous cushioning, also no orthotics needed. I wear my Rykas for everyday/all day use, long walks, and driving (5-on-the-floor w/ firm clutch).

Very comfortable and great for walking! I have multiple Rykas.

I was looking for a black sneaker with lots of cushion. This is it. Some reviewers said they are too big. I would say they are roomy. I walk daily and my foot does not move around in the shoe.

These are like walking on air.So comfortable. This is my 3rd pair of Ryka and they never disappoint.I stand or walk all day on my job.I highly recommend these. I got the blk and a little more color would be nice but the comfort out weighs that.

I’ve been critical always wearing sturdy walking/gym shoes since I am very active on my feet. In the past purchasing Name Brand shoes from 1/2 dozen different groups. Owning Rykä many years ago I returned purchasing my first pair after 20+ years! Why~I had seen another lady at the Gym wearingi the dance Rykä shoe, she raved about her Ryka’s, so I got on it & ordered! Once I stepped into my new Ryka’s I couldn’t believe the difference in support, comfortability & quality. Where was I after all those years purchasing high~end other Brands?? I’m back Rykä-you have my BACK! THANK YOU

History: I’m on my feet on hard floors for 8-hour shifts at work. My job involves a lot of movement, walking, and standing. I’ve gone through so many pairs of shoes trying to find some that give me the support I need. Even among APMA-approved shoes, I’ve had a lot that didn’t measure up. They fit weird, the support wore down too fast, and they still required some additional insoles! And my feet still hurt. All the time. DEVOTED: Are there magic springs inside?? These almost propel you by themselves. They’re lightweight, comfortable, SUPPORTIVE, and won’t cause foot pain! They are my only pair of shoes I haven’t stuffed a separate insole into. They’re excellent. Having properly supportive shoes helps the rest of my body to be able to perform my duties without misery. The fit: Perfect length and width. The “these run big” bit seems to come from the ample height. There’s plenty of room for swollen feet, thick socks, or whatever your feet desire. I have no squished toes, but my feet aren’t sliding around. They aren’t designed to be worn without socks. If I had ordered down, they wouldn’t be quite long enough. To Ryka: well done! These are fantastic. I hope they hold up to the heavy use I’ll be putting them through, but they are the BEST shoes I have ever worn. Loads more colors, please! Thank you! My feet are happy. It’s my day off and I want my work shoes on because they feel like heaven.

Only shoe I've ever worn, that I can honestly say I feel like I'm walking on clouds. My typical stance has me putting pressure on all the wrong places of my feet. I'm usually standing in one place and shifting my weight back and forth. It has caused me foot problems. With these shoes on, I've found myself correcting my stance equally because it caused no pain. Walking was a dream. I have sore spots on the pads of my feet and for the first time in years I didn't notice any pain. I'm hooked. I'm hopeful these last with the comfort. I have several shoes that are in good to new shape I can't wear any longer because the cushion wears out faster than the shoe.

Comfy very easy to stand on all day I do hair & nails
