Fantastic Jazzercise shoe! I use Ryka Transitions for Zumba and was looking for something similar, but with more lateral support and cushioning for Jazzercise. The new Ryka Influence has lots of cushioning and is perfect for higher impact workouts. It also keeps my foot very stable and supports my arches. I have high arches, but feel I don't even need orthotics in these. Like the Transition, it has lots of room for my toes and a pivot point for twisting motion. I have found the perfect Jazzercise shoe!
I'd also recommend: Ryka Transition for Zumba, New Balance for walking.

Love these shoes! Great arch support, good cushioning in the heel and the ball of the foot. Good lateral support too. I use them for intense floor and step cardio, as well as for weight training and the occasional Zumba. Bought them after I realized the new Asics I had purchased (regrettably, not from Zappo!) just were not giving me the cushioning I needed for my Cardio-Cross Training classes. These Ryka are incredible - I love them. As usual, I bought a 1/2 size up from my normal street shoe size, since I would be wearing them for work-outs.

Perfect for Jazzercise or Zumba - I love my Asics Gel Nimbus 12 sneakers but I just cannot use them for Jazzercise. The soles are too thick and won't slide/hop across the carpet so my knees keep getting stuck. But these Rykas are fantastic. Lightweight but also have arch support. I tried the Nike Frees and some others but they all just have no support. I have very flat feet and I need to be able to keep my toes free to move and these are wonderful.

I ordered this shoe for Jazzercise. As an instructor, I need a really good shoe that has the right amount of support. I've only worn them once, but they felt good. The arch wasn't too high for me unlike the Ryka Assist XT 2. I do change out the insert for one that is more cushioned for high impact. I wear a 9 in regular shoes and I ordered a 9 1/2 for extra toe room. The length felt just right. May have to go a little crazy and order the lime trimmed next time!

This is a great sneaker for high impact activity. I Jazzercise 5-7 times a week and needed to find a sneaker that could handle it. I did order a 1/2 size larger then usual and recommend anyone interested in doing the same.
