Ryka Women's, Sky Walk Trail 2 Hiking Shoe

sole

The memory foam insole almost always tears apart within about two years, unfortunately, which is what prompted my ordering a new pair of shoes (though the old ones are still perfectly functional, and I just need to get new insoles).

To start, as many people have stated in their reviews, the insoles are strangely shaped, in that they appear too small in length for the shoe, since your toes feel like they’re half on the padding.

Additionally, one of my shoes had an insole that was incorrectly positioned (it was too far forward, placing a large gap under the back of my heel, and the insole would bunch strangely under my foot because the curve of the insole didn’t match the curve of the shoe at that placement) and I had to wrestle with the extremely powerful glue to move the insole to the right spot.

Because insole has the significant bump under the toes, rather than all the way to the edge, and because the insoles are only glued at the back, and back the insoles are slick on the bottom, the insoles slide and shift under my feet until they find the position that seems appropriate for my feet (rather than the intended effect of forming TO my feet, which all my other Ryka shoes have done, rather immediately).

This results in the insoles constantly sliding slightly back so that the bump of the insoles (the edge at the toe) matches the joints of my toes, leaving my toes off the insole and bunching the insole under the middle of my foot, at the inward curves (as pictured).

The result is a very uncomfortable seam of the insole poking up into the outer edge of my foot, and a constant feeling of needing to try to unbunch the insole under my foot, which slides around too easily, so any progress that is achieved is immediately undone.

Ultimately, the problem is two-fold: 1) the insoles are too short for the length of the shoe; and 2) the insoles are not glued down or have a grippy underside to keep them in their position.

small-size

runs wide, and a little small
I normally wear a wide width,

I feel also like they run a little small length-wise.

wear

Plus, the pair of shoes look like someone wore them before?

The tread will typically wear off in a lot of places within a year, and I honestly have no idea why they claim this is a “trail” model, as I can feel every rock I step on,

length

purchase

But unless you can try them on, try to order in a way you can exchange them, because in my experience the size wasn't accurate.

I wanted a true 7 size and ordered the 7 wide and it is wide

breatheable

hug foot

The shoe hugs my foot close on the sides so that it feels supported,

The best part is the heel, which is low enough to not cause blisters at the crease of my ankle joint, and padded well enough to hug my foot and never slide off (even

comfortable

Good support for feet
Supportive for feet.. comfortable and good value for the money.

So comfortable
These are the most comfortable shoes i have ever owned.

That said, they are very comfortable right out of the box, no break-in period required.


This shoe is very comfortable;  a good fitting shoe.

but I will still wear the model outdoors because they’re so comfortable, don’t cause blisters, and don’t slip off my narrow heel.

This shoe fit the same as I expected, and the shoe body itself is perfect— it is true to size,

Anyway, on to this particular shoe: The quality, structure, and fit all feel the same as usual—wonderful!

light-weight

I wanted to keep them - they were so pretty and light weight,
