  1. I have always thougtht that Ryka was and is the best shoe ever , the technologhy that you use has been far more advanced than any shoe ever. Your design in the heel of the shoes is what represents the shoe, which makes it feel like you are running on air. they are amazing and I love them.

  2. I have been buying Ryka for years. I recently bought another pair and read about the narrow heal and wider width which I need in shoes; as well.
    I have always loved Ryka; they are so comfortable. I’m an avid exerciser and almost 55 years old. I didn’t know this sneaker company was for women!
    Thank you for being committed to women’s health through exercise.
    I love your sneakers!!!! My last sneaker was a walkkng sneaker and unknowingly I bought the running Revive 3. It’s so comfortable; just like all my previous pairs.

  3. Love your Ryka shoes! Every 2 or 3 months I look at the DSW website or in store to see what colors are available. For Summer, I love the breathable styles. I currently have 6 or 7 pairs of shoes from the Ryka family.

    The design feature I like the most the way they fit on my feet!!!!!

  4. I just purchased my first pair of Ryka’s yesterday. I chose the Transition’s initially because of their lightweight and flexibility. I read about the Q-angle and was intrigued. After wearing them for the first time working out, I fell in love with my Ryka’s. Not only did they look fashionably cute and not over the top ‘fad-ish” they were soooo comfortable! They feel like I am not wearing anything on my feet yet they provided heel and foot support I needed. The fabric does not chaff, rub or hinder my feet in any way, shape or form. I am impressed with 25 years of your research and look forward to my next pair of Ryka’s. In the meantime, I will wear my first pair of Ryka’s knowing I found the best athletic shoe’s for my feet! Thanks Ryka

  6. Just bought my first pair of Ryka’s! Love them! I bought the blue/neon yellow lace Desires…I feel like I am wearing a pair of socks but at the same time getting all the support I need! This will not be my last pair!!

  9. Ryka, I have bought your shoes since I was in college. My last pair I loved and they fell apart after 2 months:(. However, being the upstanding company that you are they were replaced. I really like the Skyler, but I wish you would bring back the revive 3 sith the flourecent green and yellow. Absolutelyblove those shoes for school.

  10. I have to say, I am a plus size girl in her late 20′s early 30′s and I have awful pain in my feet and the only way they stop hurting usually is to put on tennis shoes. My mom gave me my first pair of ryka’s and I just loved them. I just recently ordered a pair from qvc and look forward to wearing them also. I do have one request. Would it be possible to make a shoe with the same tennis shoe technology but that looks like a dress shoe? I work in a school and am on my feet pretty much all day. We have to dress professionally and tennis shoes don’t always look to professional. We do have casual Friday but that is only one day a week I get to wear tennis shoes. Any help with this would be very much appreciated by my feet and me. Have a blessed day!

  11. Bought my first pair of Ryka today. I have Multiple Sclerosis and have a lot of trouble with one foot. I needed a good pair of shoes with good arch support but not bulky and Preferably fashionable. These are the best pair of shoes I have ever had. Will be purchasing several pair because I can actually walk normally in these they give me the support I need where I need it and keep my feet from “overheating”. Great shoe and price is great too!

  12. I work in the super market/food industry and need a slip resistant show. I have worn rykas for many years now and would love to be able to stay with them. Do you have a slip resistant shoe that says it is slip resistant

  13. Way too long since I had a fabulous pair of gym shoes… I have a small foot… but the folks at Ryka finally came around and made a size 5 again… I may buy four more pair and store them for later! The Desire is SO COMFY, LIGHTWEIGHT…like gloves for my feet! The hot pink may take a while for my eyes to get used to… but my very happy feet do not care what color they are!

  14. I bought my first pair about 3 years ago when the doc said I needed to spend 3-4 days doing some sort of exercise since I have blood pressure and cholesterol issues. I am 60, not overweight and walking has become my love! I found them by accident and thought “Really? Kelly Ripa shoes?” OMG,what a perfect fit! I have tried to find other brands that suit me and I keep going back to Ryka! That’s it, I am done, it is Ryka for me! Thank you, I have hard to fit feet and these are like walking in comfy slippers the first time I wear them. Loyal customer forever :-)

  15. I found my first pair of Ryka shoes at the Shoe Carnival shoe store. Every other athletic shoe I try on now gets compared to Ryka and there is no comparison. I can get a Ryka off the shelf in my size and it fits every time. The arch lines up and the heel does not slide around the width is perfect. Thank you so much for a quality product.

  16. I have been buying Ryka’s for about 20 years and I love them. I was sad that Lady Foot Locker no longer carries them, but I can get them online, so that is great! Thank you for a great product!

  17. I have been wearing Ryka’s for years. I have always purchased through my Jazzercise instructor. I did not know they were available to the public.
    I can’t remember which style I used to purchase. I now use an eliptical and treadmill for my aerobic workouts.
    What do you recommend?
    Thank you,
    Ivy

  18. Hi Sherri – thanks for your comment! Unfortunately, we do not have any “slip resistant” shoes in our line at the moment but that is definitely a great idea to incorporate for future seasons. Thank you for being such a loyal fan of our brand! :)

  19. I have been buying/wearing Ryka athletic shoes for over 10 years. They fit my foot perfectly and are very comfortable. I am very happy with my most recent purchase, the “Downbeat” hightop. More support for my weak ankles. Love them!

  20. I started having knee problems after 10 yrs of being on my feet all day. Tried Dr Scholls but they made it worse in New Balance that I usually wear. One day when I was off work I wore a pair of Ryka shoes that I have had at least 8 or 9 years when I sold Avon. My knees, legs and feet felt so much better that I looked Ryka online and ordered two pair.

    I have been wearing the Assist XT 2 for 2 weeks at work and they are just what I needed for cushioning, Q-Angle and S.G.S.

    Relief never felt so good.

    Thank you,

    Marilyn
