Perfect shoe
October 27, 2009
Reviewer: Mary from Columbia SC
Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
I was so comfortable in the first pair I had to buy a second pair to switch out! From the get go, it was comfy - initially slightly snug but took about one hour to be perfect. Fits for women with narrow heel and broader toe span and alleviates my need to wear a toe spacer for arthritis. If they discontinue this show I will be very distressed. Great to wear around, walking, running, gym - perfect.

Great Shoe for Cardio and Exercising

Shoe Size: Felt true to size

I've had 2 pairs of Ryka shoes - walking and running. I was doing my cardio (well, all my exercising) in the running shoes. The XTs are much better! It's easier to keep my weight on my heels when I need to, and they just feel better. I'll definitely be ordering another pair!

Most Comfortable Walking/Workout Shoe I've Ever Had
July 27, 2009
Reviewer: MargeB from Las Vegas, NV
Shoe Size: Felt half size smaller than marked
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
I tried this shoe because it was highly recommended in a national consumer magazine which does unbiased testing of products.Based on the other Shoebuy buyers' reviews of the Ryka, I bought it a half size larger than I normally wear, and it fits perfectly. It is well padded both on the sides and top, and the sole/bottom is designed to cushion each step. The price was also very competitive. I highly recommend this, particularly if you have hard-to-fit/sensitive feet such as I have. I also like the fact that it is fairly light-weight yet very sturdy and breathes well (critical in the desert where I live).
Wears this shoe: On daily walks, casual grocery shopping trips, and workout sessions
