My mother-in-law walks every day, but started having hip issues (she had some of those old-style "rocker" walking shoes).  I'd already owned a couple pair of Ryka Devotions and loved them, so I ordered a pair for her.  She started wearing the Rykas, and her hip pain went away within a couple of days!  They are amazing!  TIP: Order at least 1/2 size up (they do run a little bit small).
