Title: Shoes for the gym
Review: As I am doing some weight lifting in my BodyPump class at the gym, I realized I needed better foot support. These have good padding and arch support. I was able to remove the pad and add an extra metatarsal pad to it. These have sturdy attractive uppers - I like the blue contrast on the upper and the soles. The soles keep a good grip on the floor. I appreciate these come in a wide width, which is even more width than I need, but I can adjust the laces to my best fit. They are flattering and they don't make my feet look huge. These are my first RYKA shoes, but I will keep these in mind when I need another shoe in the future.

Title: Comfortable and fit as expected
Review: These are the third pair of trainers I ordered after returning two pairs of Under Armour that were too short in spite of getting up to size 10. My normal size is 9, but I purchase 1/2 size larger to accommodate my orthotics. I was almost afraid to order another pair, but I tried another brand. These are 9 1/2 and fit perfectly. Took my dog out for a walkie this morning and was unaware of my feet. As it should be. I purchased the black with a blue trim and they look nice.

Title: The best sneakers I've ever owned
Review: I purchased these sneakers in desperation of finding ones that are wide width. I cannot tell you how hard it has been to find a pair in person in a store that fit just right. They arrived the day before I was headed for a conference at a convention center in Las Vegas. I was shocked at how well my feet felt after standing for over 12 hours a day for 4 days. Usually by the end of these conferences I'm hunched over in pain because I can barely walk due to foot and leg pain. That wasn't the case with these shoes. While I had minimal aches, these survived 35 miles of standing and walking in the first week of use. I've had 2 trips after that and they've been great. I'm usually a 10.5 wide, but had to go up to the 11 wide because my size wasn't available. I'm glad that I did. My feet don't feel tight in these shoes, the top over the toes is breathable, and I don't feel that I need any other types of insole support as these do the job.

Title: Very comfortable walking shoe
Review: I needed to replace my 10 year old Skechers athletic shoes when I joined a gym and started walking my dog regularly. This brand had good reviews, and I have not been disappointed.The toe box is roomy, yet not too big. The heel box is comfortable and supportive. I would highly recommend these shoes and this brand!

Title: Nice comfort walking shoes but over priced
Review: I have wide feet and wear a size 8. I ordered 8 wide. I had thin white crew socks on and could fit two fingers inserting in shoe behind my heel. That tells me I should of ordered a 7 & 1/2 wide. The width is perfect for my toes, they have wiggle room and big toe nor pinky toe rub against sides. Instead of returning these and ordering a 7 & 1/2 wide I am just going to wear thicker socks. I am afraid if I go with 1/2 size smaller then my heel will rub on back of shoe and toes will hit top of shoe.As for comfort just wearing them around indoors, my feet did not hurt however I have not worn them outside on asphalt yet because of it being a rainy day. Also I have Plantar Fushia so needed a walking shoe that had good arch support and so far I believe these shoes do. I bought these to specifically do walking in because I want to get back in shape and drop some extra weight. The true test is when I actually can get my walking in to see if they still provide comfort and keep my feet from hurting. The only negative is I feel the shoes are a over priced for wide width. I could see maybe $5.00 or $10.00 extra but $15.00 extra is ridiculous. I also feel real leather should have been used for trimming especially for the price of these walking shoes. I hope this helps those who are considering buying these walking shoes.

Title: So comfortable!
Review: Love these wide shoes! I wore them and another pair in a different color all summer long at a warehouse. I was walking 6+ miles a day on concrete and these were very comfortable and held up well. I did add an arch support because of my flat feet, and it stayed put.The material is quite breathable and in the hot warehouse it was very nice to walk past a huge floor fan and feel a breeze over my toes. 😆

Review: People were laughing at me for ordering my shoes on line. I did my research and these shoes were what I was looking for. They are true to size. Amazingly comfortable. I stand and walk for about 10 hours a day at work on concrete floors. My feet feel supported and don't ache at the end of the day.

Review: The shoe looks exactly as it does in the image. Choose your size carefully. Though this isn't my usual US/UK size (US6/UK4), the size chart given is absolutely correct, so I followed it and got my exact size - 7, M, US. Don't look for beauty in this shoe - this will not make your foot look noticeably cute or dainty (not that it's a bad-looking shoe - it has great finish, quality and detail, but it's slightly bulkier than my normal sports shoe and the design isn't to my usual spartan taste). But for ergonomic styling, comfort and balance, I'd say these are excellent. I have small feet, a high arch, pronounced pronation and plantar fasciitis, so comfort matters a great deal. Features like the narrow cupping heel, padded interior, arch support and volume at the inner foot make all the difference when walking. This brand designs shoes specifically for women, and I'd definitely recommend this pair to anyone looking for a great walking shoe. How long it lasts remains to be seen, so I'll probably update this review sometime in the future.
