Devotion X Max Walking Sneaker (Women)

In the past 6 to 7 years I have probably purchased 10 or more Ryka walking shoes. Nearly all have fit me well with this one being an exception. My normal size is a 6M. These definately fell more like a 6 1/2 M. The shoe is more than 1/4 longer on the sole that my other Rykas. The toe box and heel are wider too. I love the teal color which I purchased. I'm tempted to try again and order a size 5 1/2 in this model and color in hopes that it will fit well.

The Devotion X Max RS is a very comfortable walking shoe. I find it has great cushioning and is supportive. I have also used it in Jazzercise workouts with no issues. I probably should have returned for a half size smaller than the measurements suggested but I just decided to wear thicker socks. For reference, I wear and 8.5 in Hoka and Brooks. I ordered and 8.5 in these but they are a little too big in length.

They were comfy and great at first, but they deteriorated way faster than I would have expected. They only lasted barely 5 months of daily wear before I developed corns and had severe pain in my feet, ankles, and knees from wearing them, so badly I almost went to a specialist. Switched to another pair of worn shoes in my closet and the pain went away within an hour, so it was definitely a result of these shoes. These would be ok if you don’t intend on wearing them frequently or are ok with getting a new pair after a couple months. Would not recommend for daily use.
