I purchased a new pair of Ryka sneakers to replace a pair that I had been wearing for nearly two years. Because they wore so well, I chose the same shoes again. However, I am very dissatisfied with the way the shoes are holding up. I am doing the same exercise program, but after only a few months, these shoes are peeling on the toe portion. I do not know if it is a defective shoe or if this is typical since the style is a bit different. I am sending pictures of both old and new shoes for comparison. The shoes were purchased at Bealls, but I did not keep any receipt for them since I had not anticipated a problem like this. I uploaded two pictures, but did not get confirmation that they attached. If you need them emailed, I will be happy to send you. Please advise of your suggestion to resolve this problem.
I purchased my first pair of Ryka shoes (Dominion) a few months ago and started wearing them three weeks ago. I loved them immediately - no break-in period necessary. Terrific cushioning. I was so happy with them that I ordered a pair in another color. The problem is that as much as I love them, they are not wearing well. I do walk a lot - maybe six miles/day, but do not feel that any shoes should wear out this quickly. From the outside they look brand new. The soles are the problem, especially the toe area which does not have the protection I find in other brands.
