I take water aerobics 5 times a week and needed more support than the bargain-store shoes I had been buying. This shoe definitely is great support-wise. The disappointment comes from the fit. I found it a little snug and difficult to get on and off. I have yet to be able to adjust it, since there appears to be little extra room in the tie. This is the size I have always used, but maybe I should have ordered a 1/2 size up.

I really liked this shoe with the exception that it is too narrow and the shoe laces are not long enough to make easy to get on or off. I have a narrow foot and ordered a medium width. Was extremely narrow. Struggled to put the shoe on because the laces are very short. Can't even imagine if shoe was even a little damp. Sizing was good. Overall support was good. Wore them sitting at the computer for a little while debating if I could adjust to the snug fit but decided in the end that they would probably chaf so I ended up returning. Would be tempted to order again if I could get in wide width. Have had this problem with Ryka shoes being too narrow in other styles so think it is a brand issue.

We are in a water aerobics class, so really put our water shoes to the test. These Ryka shoes are doing a great job. They are comfortable and sturdy. Three of the class members have a pair, including our instructor, and we would recommend them to anyone.
Honest reviews on RYKA Women's Aqua Fit 4 Shoe
I have taught Aquja Aerobics for the past 8 years at LA Fitness in Vista, CA, and the only water areobics shoe, bar none, that fits the best, lasts the longest, is the Ryka Women's Aqua Fit 4 shoes which I have 4 pairs of. My husband bought me your latest model with the lime green, which I did not have. I do not have to buy these shoes frequently because they do not fall apart and last forever, and I teach 2-6 aqua classes a week, so the shoes get lots of wear and tear in the water since I teach mostly in the water and not on the deck. I would recommend these shoes to everyone. Some of my students cannot buy them because they cost more than they can afford, but you get what you pay for. They may be a bit pricey for some, but you get your money's worth because they last forever and you do not have to purchase the shoes over and over again like the cheaper shoes that fall apart every other month. Ryka is by far the BEST aqua shoe on the market, and I know because I have taught aqua in the water for tlhe past 8 years.

The RYKA Women's Aqua Fit 4 shoe is poorly designed. The worst thing about it is the lacing/locking system. The shoe cannot be opened widely enough to get the foot in without causing the tongue to roll under. It takes several tries to get the shoe on comfortably. In order to avoid frustration, I found it necessary to cut out the laces and insert standard tieable shoe laces. Additionally, the sole of the shoe is poorly designed to prevent slipping in the pool. I've been doing water aerobics for over 10 years and have never nearly fallen until I started wearing these shoes. This was a bad purchase! Not at all what an experienced user expected from Ryka.
