Ryka Core Strength Trainer SKU #7477524(View on Zappos.com Classic)

I just received these and they are awesome. I bought the purple/grey ones and there is even detail in the purple color, very cute. Ryka is the best, as far as I'm concerned, this is the only shoe I wear for work (I'm a nurse). I have long hours on my feet and a lot of walking and Ryka is the only shoe that makes my feet feel good. They are comfortable, great arch support, lots of wiggle room in the toes and there is no breaking in period. They are also lightweight. This was the first time I bought from Zappos and I am extremely happy. I ordered the shoes on a Tuesday evening and they had free shipping and I received the shoes on Thursday afternoon, less than 48 hours for Internet shopping. Wow!

I have had Rykas in the past so I knew of their fit and comfort. I love this shoe! It's a nice snug fit around my ankles and is as true-to-size as I've ever found. I do a lot of gym activity, from kick boxing, step, high aerobics to spin and this shoe gives the perfect support for me.

I bought these based upon the recommendation of my exercise instructor and am happy with them 100%. She advised me that Ryka tends to run a little small and suggested I order a larger size; I did take a larger size in a similar Ryka shoe, but was my usual size for this particular shoe which is the one I kept. It is flexible and comfortable with the right amount of padding and support for my cardio and strength classes. I will buy more of this brand!

Great workout sneakers - I purchased these sneakers after wearing Asics for almost a year and loving them (but couldn't find another pair that had the same results). I thought I would give Rykas a try. Love these sneakers; very lightweight. Had to order a whole size up, though. I like toe room. I also ordered the mid height in black and the studio flex went up a half a size in those. I do cardio kickboxing weight training and these shoes are excellent. I think Rykas are my new workout shoe. And with Zappos return policy and free shipping both ways you can't lose.

I bought these shoes last year to replace a pair of Adidas shoes that were ripping up my ankles. This is truly one of the best pair of fitness shoes I have ever owned. Rykas are designed to specifically fit a woman's foot so they are narrower in the ankle area and wider in the toe box. This makes for a perfect fit! Usually when I wear a new pair of tennis shoes for the first week or two, my feet hurt around the ball of the foot. These shoes did not hurt my feet at all. I have been comfortably wearing them for almost a year now. I have worn these shoes for the following activities: a jazz dance class I take once a week, zumba, spinning, running on the treadmill (11 miles a week), using the elliptical, step aerobics, kick boxing, body pump & doing various exercise DVD's at home. The only reason I am actually replacing them is because I have worn the tread down even though the outside still looks new since I do not wear these outside. I ordered my regular shoe size and it fit perfectly. A previous reviewer mentioned that these shoes are very light. I agree. These shoes do not feel like blocks on my feet. I wear arch supports in all of my fitness shoes, but I would consider these shoes to be supportive considering that I have worn them to exhaustion. When I first got them, I didn't really care for the style. I thought the silver trim looked a bit cheap. I almost picked a different pair because of this. Once I wore them, they was no turning back. They are neutral enough to match all of my fitness clothes. I would highly recommend these shoes to anybody who is as much of a fitness freak as I am. Rykas will be the only fitness shoes I put on my feet now.

I was looking for a shoe I could comfortably wear at the gym, and I found one in this Ryka. I ordered the shoe in my usual size, and it's a perfect fit. I'm not thrilled with the way they look, but these light shoes breathe and remain comfortable throughout my workout; they do fit the bill.

This is a very stylish shoe. It has a very comfortable heel; it’s snug, which is comfortable on my foot. The toe box is wider than in other shoes, and the shoe does run a good half size small. It provides good lateral support. I use the shoe for core training classes and walking. I recommend it. (I also appreciate the free upgraded expedited shipping from Zappos!)

Out of the box comfort and a great value for the money! I love the style and support this shoe provides. Order it a half-size larger. The shoe is less purple/lavender and more grey/silver with faint lavender undertones. I always have problems with the hard inner seams that seem to rub on the side and top of my toes. There is none of that with this extremely comfortable shoe.

These shoes are AWESOME! I tried a couple of different brands and these, by far, were the most comfortable and looked good on. I do step aerobics, elliptical machines, treadmills, I run/walk hills, I do cardio kick-box, and for all of it, these shoes are wonderful. I will buy them again when these wear out... and thank you Zappos for fast shipping and wonderful service!

Better than Pace Walker by Ryka - I have had Ryka Pace Walkers for the past several years. Unfortunately, the last two pairs I ordered did not fit the same (different factory?). The right foot had a weird ankle support piece on the inside of the shoe which really was uncomfortable. I tried New Balance and ASICS and Brooks to no avail. Anyway, Zappos as always was just the best. After returning the pairs I had tried, I ordered these Ryka Core Strength Trainers. They are fabulous! Great arch support, comfortable for many, many miles of walking (like 6-10 each morning). I've had major back surgery with instrumentation so my shoes are critical! These are wonderful and so is Zappos! Thank you Zappos.
