Ryka Womens Sky Walk Trail Suede Memory Foam Athletic and Training Shoes

These are great walking and hiking shoes. I have used them on the Arizona dirt trails and they were cushioned over the rocky parts and smooth on the dirt. I haven't tried them on really rocky terrain yet, so I don't know how well they will work there. I also use them every day for a three mile walk on cement and they are excellent.

First, I rarely write reviews and I have never bought shoes online. I do read reviews and it was the well written reviews that convinced me to buy the Sky Walk Trail Shoe. I have aging feet that are widening and am never sure of my size anymore. I need a good tread for hiking light to medium trails (flat, inclines, rocky, gravel) and also for walking in my hilly neighborhood on asphalt. I wanted a light weight shoe as my feet now get tired more easily in a heavier hiking boot. From the first moment I put them on I was totally surprised with the comfort and I couldn't have been happier that they were equally as comfortable on the trail. I have now worn them probably a dozen times and each time I find myself thinking about how comfortable they are. My toes could spread out and the shoe didn't hurt my bunion! Had a hard time figuring out what size I should order. I decided to order my new sometimes go to size 8M up from my size of 7.5M hoping they wouldn't be to large. They were perfect. Easy to put on and to tighten the laces. No slippage in the back. Right amount of room in the front. These shoes make my hiking so much more enjoyable. Highly recommend and will definitely order shoes from Rykä again! FYI - received delivery of the shoes many days earlier than the expected delivery date!
