TOO LIGHT AND UNSUBSTANTIAL
" I realize the current trend is a very lightweight and natural feeling shoe. Historically, however, Saucony has made a VERY comfortable and cushy shoe. I expected that for this reason their version of a lightweight runner would be different. It isn't. Those who enjoy that feather light feel may really like this shoe. I gave it 4 stars since there wasn't anything wrong with them and Saucony is a great brand. They just aren't for me. I'll stick with the standard Saucony style which is more supportive and padded.

Stiff and uncomfortable
" I knew these were not a standard shoe from the description (it's made for use in the water), yet the reviews made it sound very comfortable and perfectly suited for everyday use. I don't agree. They have rubbery side panels which felt stiff and were already discolored right out of the box. The netting also seemed unforgiving. They are definitely going back.

Good general shoe
" I'm not keeping these, so I can only judge their fit from quickly trying them on and wearing them around my bedroom. I put on another pair of shoes I own right after and they felt cushy and comfy by comparison. I prefer a softer feel, I guess.
These were a bit stiff, which is probably by design. They look nice, but are unexpectedly the same color as another pair of Ryka shoes I own. I'll be returning these and will keep looking for cross trainers that are more comfortable.

Okay
" These are not keepers. They look okay and feel okay, but nothing more. They are too soft and bendy for aerobics classes. They also seemed more narrow than the two Ryka running shoes I own.

Disappointed
" I ordered 3 different Ryka cross trainers, not knowing which would be best. None of them were great, but these were terrible.
I own 2 older pair of Ryka running shoes which have worked well for general use (not padded enough for my runs). However, this pair of cross trainers was downright uncomfortable. The area around the ankle was very low and it felt like my feet were not completely in the shoe. They were too stiff and looked like generic walking shoes. They are going back!

Pretty Nice Shoe
" These shoes feel stable, solid and are functional. They make my steps feel a bit different than any other shoes I've had before. I'm assuming it's because they are "walking" specific. These shoes are also plenty wide and roomy. I have slightly wider than average feet. Good enough shoe for the price. So far, so good.

Disappointed
" I've been searching for a good wedge boot for quite some time. I was excited about these because the reviews indicated it was comfortable, plus the price was good. However, I was disappointed when I got them. I usually order boots in a 7.5 even though I'm more of a size 7 because my feet are a bit wide. Even with the half size larger, these boots felt quite narrow. Plus, the angle of the heel was really steep and uncomfortable. I've wanted a wedge boot so walking feels more stable and in theory will be more comfortable than a regular spiked heel. However, these did not feel more stable at all. Sometimes shoes end up feeling uncomfortable after a while, even if they seem good at first. With these, I knew the moment I put them on that they were not at all comfortable. One final issue is with the material. The heel is made of a suede like fabric which I know quickly would get dusty and dirty. On a black shoe, that is very undesirable and the material may not be easy to clean. All in all, I'm not happy with these. I'm returning them.

I'm not impressed
" I was looking for a new walking shoe and was excited to see this one for sale. However, I'm not loving them. I haven't worn them outside, just tried them on inside, but they are stiff and feel cheap. There is a unique cushiony pad inside which makes one feel a spring when stepping, so some might enjoy that. I like my Nike walking shoes better. I'll be returning these.

ouch
" The shoe is pretty, but quite stiff and uncomfortable. It runs small and narrow- both of which were deal breakers for me. It would be a fine shoe for someone who has narrow feet and buys a 1/2 size small.

Surprisingly comfy
" I've been looking for a cute wedge sandal and think I finally found one. The heel is quite high, so it's not ideal for wearing on days when there will be lots of walking, but the shoe is comfy enough for a normal day out. I especially like that the buckles are actually adjustable, which helps keep my wide feet from feeling cramped.

uncomfortable
" I bought these because another wedge sandal by the same brand, with a higher heel, was very comfy. The leather strip that goes between the toes is too thick and rubs uncomfortably. I'm not a fan.
