Ryka Women's Reform Athletic Toning Shoe

I should mention that I am Shari, Craig's wife, since these are women's shoes !!The shoes are comfortable, although a bit hard to get used to with the rockingsole design. I have not had time to wear them enough on good walking surfaces to give them a full thumbs up.One negative ? Shoelaces. Why is it that they always have to be long enough to make extra spaghetti for relatives ? Just get them down to where you can tie a nice bow and not have the rest hanging out to trip you on your opposite foot !!Have other Rykas and do like the brand, so expect these to end up being one of my favorites, after I go to the store and buy shorter laces : )

I wanted to wait until I had worn these for a month or so before submitting a review. I walk every day that it isn't pouring down rain, I walk 4 miles in an hour, so it isn't a slow paced walk, I also run a little, then walk, then run..I am 66 yrs old, have Osteo arthritis, RA, and a few more itises, but this makes me feel good. These shoes are wonderful, VERY comfortable, they are holding up very well, no rips,or wearing anywhere on the shoes..As far as looks go? they are a toning shoe for goodness sake, but, I think they look good.NOT at all big and ugly.. It did take me a few days to get used to the rolling walking, felt "klunky?" at first, but thats with any new shoe, takes getting used to..When I was in my 50's I was told I had the feet of an 80 year old, no cushion, so I need a good cush in shoes. These are wonderful.I chose the white/chrome in the Ryka Womens reform toning shoe.Size 10, the fit is right and the correct toe room, i need a little more because of extra thick toenails, and tender toes.They work..June 27, 2011, Wanted to re-review this with you, they are now ripping on both shoes, by the little toe..Material not holding up..so upset with this, but have emailed Amazon and HOPEFULLY will be replaced, with other brand I think..I do love this shoe, but since another customer had this problem?

Unfortunately the shoes were too small. My toe was hitting the end of the shoe as I walked. I like the style and they appear to be made well just runs small.

This shoe has got to be the worst pair of shoes I have ever purchased! It is a nice shoe until you wear them. It wears out at the corners and quick. I have shoes from when I was in the 10th grade and I am now in my 40's. I have Ryka sneakers that are 7 years old and I still get compliments on them. These shoes wore out in less than a month. I seen the review that stated "WORE OUT IN A MONTH" and totally ignored it!!!! Shame on me.

To begin, the shoe fits to perfection. The downside for me was the rounded sole at the arch. The arch is raised the entire width of the shoe. It's pretty hard and causes discomfort on the outer edge of my foot. Design flaw? They are clunky. I've worn them long enough that they are not new, so I have passed the breaking in stage. They are very pretty, and I do love the mesh. They stay cool on the feet. Great toe room. I'm a huge fan of Ryka, but not this particular design. I won't be wearing them again for my power walks. Just for casual errands...

I bought these as a gift for my Aunt who has trouble finding comfortable shoes. She has a narrow heel but needs a roomy toe box. She says they fit fine and are comfortable for walking but they rock when she's standing still. She likes them but says they will take some getting used to.

I absolutely love these shoes... I bought 2 pairs exactly the same, so one was my working outside get dirty and don't care pair. I use to have terrible problems with restless legs at night, and I had dark spots behind my knees from a cut off of circulation. Not anymore. These shoes feel like they stretch out my whole leg and they are so comfortable to walk in I can't stand my old Nike's anymore. I have toned up my legs too. I don't know if it's really so much the shoes as the fact that they are so much more comfortable to walk in, but I loss 10 lbs within a couple of months of wearing these, so I went from 120 to 110 pounds (I am 5 foot even). I strongly recommend these shoes, they are worth every penny. I tried the shape ups and all that, but they made me feel like I was going to fall. The Ryka's seem to give more stability and make me feel light on my feet, after I got use to them I wear them everywhere and all of the time.

I love this shoe and have been wearing them since I got them but I can't wear them everyday as it starts to hurt the middle of my foot, however the arch support is placed perfectly for my feet and the insoles don't wear out
