I bought these shoes for aerobics classes. They were actually one of two styles of Ryka I purchased at the same time. I prefer Ryka shoes for aerobics workouts as they have been consistent in providing good cushioning and lateral support and they fit me well. I happened to have a foot injury when they arrived and I found that the other style, Ryka Studio Flex Low, provided a bit more cushioning in the footbed which was easier on the injury. Now that the injury is gone, this pair is fine as well. Ryka continues as my shoe of choice for aerobic workouts.

A friend recommended these shoes and I just love them! Great for all of my fitness classes. At first I thought they were too small, but them laced them up, and was good to go! Highly recommend!

I love the shoes. The "chush" in the heel is wonderful. The toe box is a touch too big, but not enough for me to return them.

These sneaks do look great in my opinion and are very light. However, they should only be used as a running shoe and never for cross training. I bought them right before I started the Insanity training videos and my feet got pounded. I bought athletic inserts and still there was not enough support for all the jumping. Again, I should have known better, I think they’re great for normal activities and walking, just don’t expect a heck of a lot of support for plyometrics.

These shoes are comfortable right out of the box. They\'re also super cute. I did as other reviewers suggested and ordered a half size larger than I normally wear. I don\'t think that was necessary, but they\'ll be comfy for me with my thick workout socks on. If I was planning to wear my normal socks, though, I\'d need to order my regular size to keep the shoes from rubbing my heels.

OMG, I love these shoes! I never wanted to buy them because they weren't Nike or Reebok. I have to tell you, they are great for overpronation. Usually 5 minutes into a cardio workout, I want to scream and take my shoes off. With these, I made it through my workout. To me, they don't fit true to size; they are a bit short. But, that's okay with me. I actually like the snugness of the shoe. And, they are super light. If you overpronate, you definitely want to give these a try. Since my other shoes are still fairly new, I'll give them to my cousin.

I needed a pair of shoes with good arch support since I\'m starting a workout series (Beachbody\'s Insanity) that involves a lot of jumping/plyometric moves. I ordered both these and the Nike Zoom Essential, but these are a lot more comfy. Great arch support for those of us with high arches, and lots of good cushioning in the forefoot. I\'ve owned Rykas in the past, and, as usual, I ordered a half-size up since Rykas tend to run small. However, these seem roomy, so I might have been fine with my usual 7 1/2 instead of the 8 I ordered. Overall, great shoe!

I have had several pairs of Rykas, and they are excellent: flexible, cushy, durable. This style is especially nice with the silvery accents. Rykas tend to run a little short, so get the next size up. And enjoy!

I had purchased a pair of Ryka walking shoes and I loved them, when it came time to replace them I liked the look of these and the price was good so I purchased them. While they are cute they are not as comfortable as my first pair and although I will still use these, with insoles, I am looking into buying another pair of the walking shoes. If you need cute work out shoes and not a lot of support, then these shoes are for you. Otherwise give the walking shoes a try.

I ordered this shoe, hoping it would fill my needs. It does! I've been working out for a long time and I'm very picky about my shoes. I use this shoe for step, power step and other classes, elliptical, treadmill, and weights. It gives me stability but it's very light. Toe box room is just right; I love the cushioning in the heel and sole. It doesn't rub anywhere. The first wearing broke it in and now it's perfect. True to size for me.

Love These!!!
I have been wearing Ryka's for several years now; I won't ever go back to any other brand! These are the best pair I have had yet. Excellent cushioning, great support! If you have trouble with other shoes give Ryka's a try... you won't regret it!
