I have been purchasing Ryka shoes for several years online.  It is rare to find any choice in local stores. I always look for a wide front base whether or not I buy a 'wide' size shoe.  These shoes are Almost a duplicate of a past favorite Ryka model. Not quite as good in my opinion-wish they kept the older models unchanged (were wider in the toe box and more padded) Totally happy with the service of buying online, all size choices and prompt delivery!
