Like others here, I really wanted to love these shoes, but they just don't fit right. I've experienced this problem with other Ryka sneakers, having tried three different styles. They all have the same issue. A hard ridge of rubberized plastic joins the mesh upper to the sole along the outside edge. If your feet aren't narrow through the mid-foot, they will be sitting ON TOP of this ridge as you walk. My feet are B-width, and though these were B-width, the toe box was almost too loose, while the shoe nips in at mid-foot and you've got that ridge. I tried putting in inserts and that helped a little, adding some padding on top of the ridge, but I knew after two miles of walking I'd be miserable.

Too bad. I LOVED my first pair of Rykas, which didn't have this problem. Sorry, Ryka, you've reached strike three with me.
