I love Ryka- they're the only sneakers that fit me well. These were no exception. Not as much arch support in these as in their walking and running shoes, but these are more for look anyway. They arent terrible in support. Made well otherwise. Would recommend. If you need more support, there's room for to put insoles in if you wanted to.I didn’t have to break these shoes in , they don’t hurt my feet. I want them in every color!! I have bad knees/arthritis/ and I can wear all day!I absolutely loved these shoes - while they lasted. Super comfortable for my wide, flat feet. I wore them for work at my retail job where I'm on my feet all day and had no pain at the end of the day. That's a big deal. The upper is excellent quality, still in great shape, but the sole on the left shoe is disintegrating. At first it started separating from the upper, after only a few months; I glued it to try to make the shoe last longer but now there are holes appearing in the bottom of the sole. The right shoe seems fine so maybe I just got a defective shoe? They're so comfy that I'm considering trying again with another pair.I am a very difficult fit with a shoe. I have large bunions & heel Spurs. I’ve pretty much given up on buying Cute shoes.Except, I saw these and couldn’t believe they came in wide and were so adorable, I gave it a shot.I was shocked at how soft and cushy the soles were and they were plenty wide for my big bunions & they look so so cute with a pair of capris or skinny jeans!I wore them out shopping now 3 times and I couldn’t believe they didn’t hurt and they were so comfortable and stylish! I’m a huge fan! Thank you!!!!I love blue suede shoes! Although the body of this shoe is textile, it has the appearance of genuine suede and is a beautiful soft grey-blue - a very versatile color. The perforations let my feet breathe, and the thick sole and insole provide good shock absorption and moderate arch support - super comfortable for brand new shoes! I ordered a size 9 which is the size I normally wear in Ryka, but this shoe fit more like a 9-1/2 (too much room in the toe box). I reordered a size 8-1/2, and they fit perfectly on my difficult-to-fit feet (narrow heel, slightly wide toe).I love the way these look (although I would really prefer a black sole since the white got dirty IMMEDIATELY). I love love love that they come in wides. I often buy an 8.5 for my size 8W feet; in this case, the 8W is comfy, if a bit big. I don't know if a 7.5 would do. I have replaced the somewhat flimsy but fully removable insole with a more substantial cork insole from an old pair of Naots, but if you don't care about arch support, these would probably be fine as they are. A good purchase.Unfortunately, I had to start wearing cushiony sneakers and socks as opposed to bare feet in heels, sandals, pumps, etc., due to a foot problem that developed. These are nice, comfortable shoes (faux suede?), although not as cushiony as other sneakers I have (all Adidas cloud foam), but they feel good and with a cushiony sock they should be fine. I bought them because I needed a muted pink and this is a beautiful color. I recommend.1.20.20 update: finally wore these today. Wore thick, cushioned socks but had to wear the shoes loosely laced which allowed my feet to feel comfortable. Thinner socks would be better for tighter lace-up. I still recommend. I like them a lot.Comfy but not quite as wise as I was expecting but still a very cute sneaker.Very comfortable and stylishI love anything Ryka! I have a pair of white Celeste sneakers & those are what got me hooked on the brand. Well made & super comfy!Cute runner. Looks great but I will need to put an arch support in them.Great runner. Well made and confortableExcellent quality. No breaking in required. Luv them
