Ryka Women's Echo Low Sneaker - Lightweight Walking Shoes for Women with Cushioned Support - Perfect for Gym, Running & Everyday Wear

comfortAs expectedI usually order shoes in a size 9 even though I could also wear an 8.5. But I like my shoes loose. I've purchased Ryka brand in the past and they were also snug but comfortable. (GREY) My issue is the bad stitching and cheap looking materials used. Both of them come with unsightly puckering. Not one pucker, but 2 puckers on the outside near the toes. It won't matter if you buy them for around the house ONLY. The cushion is good. My worry now, is that I also bought them in BLACK, for outside. They haven't arrived yet. Fingers crossed!I have been a fan of Ryka brand for women for quite some time. This is pair number three and counting. They look and feel great!I received the shoes with a dirt mark on them. Also they are like the color in the image. They are Grey not a Cream/Off-White I was expecting.I'll say right off, that I had to reorder half a size up. I have Morton's foot, and my normal size 9 hurt my second toe; as it is longer. The shoe is lovely. I hate garish tennis shoes and wish manufacturers would offer more sedate colors alongside the vibrant ones. This is probably the most comfortable tennis shoe I've ever worn. Except maybe for my Hoka 101's that finally gave up the ghost after 6 years of hard service. These shoes are made for women's feet. The heel cup is snug and comfy. The lacing system is quick and laces stay tied. They are balanced perfectly and light weight. I don't even notice I have them on. I've worn them every day for a month. Still as form fitting as the day I bought them. Beautiful fit. Some folks have said the toe box is shorter than it used to be. I had to order half a size up and gave the 9's to my neighbor who adores them. So do keep that in mind. Especially if your second toe is longer. Happy walking!Such a beautiful color on this shoe will go with anythingBought a half size bigger and it was perfect for me! Would buy again!Purchased Wide fit and they are NOT, very small fit
