So Sad these Didn't Work - I purchased these shoes for Jazzercise, excited to have something that looks cool too. Unfortunately, my orthotic takes up too much space in this shoe and made my heel slip out since it sat up so high. I'm sure these shoes would be great if you only use the standard Ryka provided insole.

Studio D fits the dance fitness bill - These Ryka's replaced my Nike Shox O Drives for my 3-4 times a wk Jazzercise class. They are more comfortable and supportive than the O Drive and provide a bit more forefoot movement when dancing. They handle the impact as well and I've found I can even wear them without socks and they are still comfortable. I highly recommend them for dance fitness.

Best Buy in Years! I spent 3 days Christmas power shopping and not once did my feet hurt. They provide great arch support and have cushion in the heels. Awesome shoes!

Good Buy! I purchased these shoes to wear for Tae Bo because my regular running shoes hurt my arches. These helped due to the increased flexibility of the sole. They have a good grip too. I will definitely look for more such as these.

These sneakers are great for my Jazzercise class. I have also used them during a Fit Ball class. I wore them to a high impact cardio and I wouldn't suggest them for that. Overall I love the sneaker, I just wish they came in the color white. I know they come in the grey, but I prefer a white. I wear a 6 1/2 and ordered a 7 and they fit just fine.

Lots of cushion - I found this shoe has great heel cushioning, so it's great for high impact activities like aerobics. I personally use it for Jazzercise.

A well made shoe with excellent support - This shoe feels great. It does run a little snug however. I wear a 9M and I ordered a 9M. I think it is stretching a bit each time I wear it, thankfully. I teach step aerobics and it is very well cushioned although it does not have the look of a traditional aerobic shoe. I am very happy with my purchase of the Studio D and of course with Zappos, they are awesome.

Smaller than other Rykas - I have had Rykas before and knew what my size normally is, but this shoe in particular seems to run a little smaller. I am hoping that they will break in a bit more and become more comfortable.

Fit's comfortable - The sneaker fits nice, and stand up to my step and kickboxing classes. I'm not too fond of the style, but figure they are pretty comfortable and that’s what is important.

Make sure to order larger! I ordered these in a 9 (per the other reviews) and found that they were still too small (I am usually an 8 1/2). I also feel that the arch could have been a little better, but then I pronate, so this often is the case. Sent them back and I kept the New Balance WR740 (in 8 1/2!) that I ordered to compare them with.

Sabrina - I love these shoes. I wear them to my Jazzercise class and they feel great! I will most definitely purchase another pair of shoes by Ryka.

This is a good shoe for aerobics. It has lots of cushioning. As prior reviewers say, it runs small. I had to return 9 (my usual size) and get 9.5 in order to use a sock.

Best athletic shoes I have ever had! These shoes fit great and allow your feet to move easily. I use these shoes for Jazzercise and they work great! I usually wear an 8 1/2, but it seems I wear 9 in Rykas.

Great Zumba shoe - I bought these to Zumba in & they are fantastic. I did order a 1/2 size bigger since so many reviews said to do this, but I could have gone with my usual size. Either way, I love them - they are so easy to move in & make all of the twisting & turning much easier on my knees.

Stellar - I love this shoe, however, after reading the reviews, I did order my shoes a half size larger than I normally wear and they fit perfectly. I'm glad I listened to the other reviewers, otherwise they would have been too small. Also, my shoes arrived the very next day after I ordered them. I was so surprised and pleased with the service I received from Zappos.

Disappointed - Unlike previous Ryka Studio shoes I've owned, these did not support my foot as much as I need. While they might be okay for low-mid impact aerobics, it's obvious they were not made for high-impact aerobics. About 20 mins into my cardio kick boxing class, my toes started to go numb and my arches were killing me. They look great and are comfortable for doing low impact or weight training, but for a constant bounce, these aren't the shoes for me. I'm going to keep them for weight training and casual exercise, but I'm going to have to buy another pair of shoes to get me through my high impact aerobic classes. I also noticed these have a tendency to roll a bit more than others with less stability, so if you're inclined to have ankle problems or do a lot of lateral moves, again, I don't recommend these. If you just need them for gentle exercise and want a low cut, stylish shoe, these are perfect. I'd definitely wear them around town.

Comfort - These shoes are great, good arch support, I wear them for kickboxing, and my feet are probably the only thing not hurting when I'm done. ;) Highly recommend!
