I wanted to wait until I had worn these for a month or so before submitting a review.  I walk every day that it isn't pouring down rain, I walk 4 miles in an hour, so it isn't a slow paced walk, I also run a little, then walk, then run..I am 66 yrs old, have Osteo arthritis, RA, and a few more itises, but this makes me feel good. These shoes are wonderful, VERY comfortable, they are holding up very well, no rips,or wearing anywhere on the shoes..As far as looks go? they are a toning shoe for goodness sake, but, I think they look good. NOT at all big and ugly.. It did take me a few days to get used to the rolling walking, felt "klunky?" at first, but thats with any new shoe, takes getting used to..When I was in my 50's I was told I had the feet of an 80 year old, no cushion, so I need a good cush in shoes. These are wonderful. I chose the white/chrome in the Ryka Womens reform toning shoe. Size 10, the fit is right and the correct toe room, i need a little more because of extra thick toenails, and tender toes. They work..
June 27, 2011, Wanted to re-review this with you, they are now ripping on both shoes, by the little toe..Material not holding up..so upset with this, but have emailed Amazon and HOPEFULLY will be replaced, with other brand I think..I do love this shoe, but since another customer had this problem?
