OMG, I have never bought a Ryka shoe before. The price was excellent, I LOVE the color and the fit is amazing. I will buy as many pairs of these shoes, or any other Ryka, that I can justify. They are great....really comfortable, supportive, airy where they need to be, great insole and the fit is just awesome. Super happy and excited to run. I will use these for sure on the trails but maybe the roads too. :-)
