Confident Walking Sneaker (Women)

I am an AVID Rykä purchaser and wearer, they are really the only sneakers/tennis shoes I wear. These however were disappointing. I was excited to have a material that would repel hair because I’m a pet groomer, the material is great for that (reason for the 2*’s not1). Unfortunately the toe box is much more narrow than the normal Ryka shoes. (That’s how and why I found the brand in the first place) I’ve tried wearing them hoping they would stretch a bit but to no avail. My Mortan’s Neuroma is aggravated every time I wear them.

I like the look of the shoe and the shoe itself seems as it would be comfortable. The issue with the shoe however that make is impossible to wear is the Tongue of the shoe. Most shoe tongues are soft this one is so hard and stiff and non flexible that it makes it impossible to wear. It rubs and sticks into my ankle. I have tried wearing thick crew socks and it does not help at all. Very disappointed because I actually love Ryka shoes.They need to change this ones design.

I am a Ryka devotee. I absolutely love this brand and have a healthy collection of walkers, runners, and boots. It was incredibly disappointing when this pair did not stand up to expectations. The shoes were narrow in the toe box, short in length, and overall uncomfortable. Because they could not be returned, I tried to rehome them with family members with smaller feet. Still trying. They design is cute so I am bummed they cannot be part of my wardrobe.

These shoes are very comfortable for walking with the perfect amount of support. I ordered them wide but still feel like they’re a bit tight in width; I cannot comfortably wear them with thick socks for too long. Overall I like them and expect they’ll fit better after breaking them in a bit, but I was expecting more width room.
