Ryka Women’s Sky Walk Sneaker

Most important – long and narrow
Very, very pleased. I have a hard time finding sneakers.. I have a vey narrow foot, women’s size 12. Finding women’s narrow in stores or on-line is just about impossible. On-line purchases – 90% returns!!! Additionally I want a dark colored shoe so the size is less obvious.. This shoe was just right. I can tighten the shoes as much as I need. There is internal cushioning that makes them very comfortable. I should probably buy a 2nd pair and put them aside to ensure the same quality!!!!!

Great shoes, but not for my feet.
A good looking shoe. Foot bed was comfortable and a good mixture of firm with some cushion while walking. The laces were a little things for my liking but that can be easily fixed with different laces. Soles had decent traction and felt pretty non-slip. Ultimately, I returned these because of a personal issue. The ball of my foot is quite wide but I have a narrow heel. These shoes were a little tight over the ball of my foot which made me have a little bit of the feeling of claustrophobia but not as bad as some of the shoes I tried. I could order a wider size but then they would flipped off the back of my heel. I also felt that even though these shoes have a memory foam foot bed the Saucony’s I also ordered felt like they had twice as much cushion inside and were not tight across the ball of my foot. As i am ordering these shoes for an upcoming trip where I know I will be doing a lot of standing at the airport and walking around our destination I want all the cushion I can get. I know that my feet are different so I do not blame the shoe or the manufacturer for the issues that only I may have. If I didn’t have weird feet I think these shoes would be great.

Quality and fit not as hoped
I read the reviews and the description of the company. I had hoped to finally find a shoe that was great quality and would fit my feet well. It’s not a bad shoe, but not what I had hoped for.Pros :- cute shoe and the colors are as nice as they look on the screen.- The platform and soles of the shoe are good quality. The cushioning is OK and is comfortable & nice and stable.Cons:- The top of the shoe isn’t as good quality as I’d hoped. For example, the green trim and shoe lace holes are visible in one picture I’ve attached. The holes are not finished and you can see the foam peeking out. Experience tells me that these will fray over the next few months. You can also see the foam coming from the end of the green trim. These are going to rip pretty quickly. I will try to update in a few months to confirm.- lesson learned. I will never purchase shoes without trying them on in person first. I hate returns! The arch support in the shoe is set too far back for my foot. It pushes into the back of my arch and is uncomfortable and annoying. i’ve had Adidas shoes do this to me too. Not really the shoes fault, but just not made for my feet.- The tongue of the shoe is not wide enough. It slides in One Direction or the other and doesn’t quite cover the top of my foot. Again annoying and a bit uncomfortable- another picture shows a shiny rubbery substance on part of the shoe top. It looks like sprayed on rubber. I’ve had shoes like this before and usually that surface start cracking pretty quickly. I don’t anticipate the shoes will look good in a few months. But I will update to confirm.- my biggest gripe is the lighter gray surface on the top and sides of the shoes. I couldn’t tell from the stock picture, but this is really a mesh. I can hold the shoe up to the light and see through it. Fall finally hit our area this week. It is in the 50s and my feet are freezing. Won’t be able to wear these outside over the winter.

Horrible quality, thin, wore out in days.
The shoes arrived on Feb 11/12, today is Feb 18, it’s been a week and they are already worn out. When they first arrived I wore them for the evening at the park, they fit great, were comfortable, light weight, and felt good, albeit a little thin-ish feeling. I should have known something was up when I took them off that night and the “memory foam” sole inserts came out with my foot (see pictures). Then we left on vacation to Vegas where I wore them for 4 days straight. By the second day I felt the thinness of the “memory foam” sole, the arch support went away, and my feet started to hurt. By the third day my shin splints were flared up and it was extremely difficult to walk around. Since they were the only sneakers I brought, I was out of luck. When we got home I looked into the shoes and I could see the seems. Now I realize the “memory foam” insole is not properly secured, it’s laying inside. I’m going to try and return them to Amazon, as I found out Ryka doesn’t stand behind their product. Their return policy is on the customer to pay to return, and then they decide if they accept of reject the claim, so there is no assurance after we spend more money to send back their shoddy product.

Box arrived completely unsealed. No tape. Expected better from Amazon.I ordered 9.5 wide. They are very comfortable. I’d definitely buy this brand again as good looking lightweight shoes are hard to find in a wide fit.

Schöne Schuhe, leider zu klein geliefert, hatte schon mehrere Schuhe von Rykä,passen normalerweise sehr gut,diese Veraion ist sehr eng geschnitten und an der Ferse für mich viel zu kurz,man schlappt raus,obwohl sie viel zu klein waren
