I purchased my first pair of Ryka tennis shoes due to the description of 'narrower heel, wider toe'. This has held true. I have a bunion on one foot so the shoe has to fit to prevent pressure but I still need the support for my other foot. Ryka has been wonderful. I can wear them right out of the box with little break in time. I plan to buy a couple more pairs to keep as stand-bys or in case the style changes.
