Ryka Skylift Walking Shoe - Women's

Beautiful shoes.. with just the right amount of bling! Only problem is the toes seem defective because you can see the adhesive all around the edge of each toe on both shoes. Plus the sole that comes from the bottom to each toe on the top looks smushed and not right. On top of the defect, they're a bit small -as in short on the toe end. For both of these reasons I sent them back for a refund.

These sneakers run short. Get a pair 1/2 size up or your toes will be all the way to the top of the shoe and be very uncomfortable

I would say the "lift" part of 'Skylift' is all in the heels of these shoes. I made the mistake of wearing these to work. By lunchtime, my toes and the balls of my feet felt broken. If I could have finished my shift in stocking feet, I would have. There is really just no cushioning in these shoes anyway. These shoes are for women for whom walking up and down the grocery aisles is considered "getting exercise for the day". These shoes are NOT for women who actually WORK at the grocery store, who stand and walk. All. Day. Any WHY? Why do today's shoes all have to be made of mesh? Ryka, women need to wear their shoes OUTSIDE of the gym. Outside, where there are puddles and slush and temperatures get cold. I still need a good walking shoe to walk OUTSIDE. Just once, I would like to be able to carry bags of groceries out for a customer on a wet day without having to endure the rest of my shift with wet feet. I have to walk the dog every day. Mesh shoes are worthless! Don't even think about walking across that dewy grass. Forget puddles. And your feet are going to get cold when the wind blows through that mesh at 50 degrees. Good luck this winter in the snow and sub-zero temps.

The only real draw back is that this pair of Rykas seems to have a narrower toe box and the old pain in my big toe is returning. The previous 2 styles fit perfectly and solved my foot issues of toe pain and foot cramps. Those styles have apparently been discontinued. At least I couldn't find them again.

Nice looking sneaker and great fit for me. I gave four stars because of one issue: The tongue on the right shoe is weirdly short, barely able to lace over it.

Slightly lighter-weight than most shoes, which my arthritic feet appreciated. Comfortable and the wide width is roomy. I bought the navy with the blue. Perfectly understated. Very nice shoes.

OK to begin with I am a guy who has running and walking in Ryka shoes for years because I have a small size Foot more shaped like a woman’s than a guys and I found out a long time ago that these are the most comfortable and best fitting shoes I could have and this specific model I have had for a week and thoroughly enjoy walking my dogs in them that you’re comfortable they have just the right amount of lift and are sharp looking in the gold.
