    from Lexington KY

    Great shoe for my purposes. I was looking for. Good cushioned shoe to add a leather sole to for dancing. This shoe is a bit sleeker than others, looks good and feels great. The fit was roomier than some--also it is a deep shoe, lots of room for orthotics in fact it comes up to the bone of the ankle--I thought it might rub there but is well cushioned and didn't with socks. Comfortably large toe box. I recommend this shoe!

    Great shoe but runs true to size - Good cushioning and light. This new shoe by Ryka is more true to size that their previous models. I have the N-Gage from last year and although my true shoe size is 6 1/2 for athletic shoes I usually go up one size; for last year’s Ryka I wore a size 8; this time, I am a 7. So this model runs smaller than the other ones and is true to size. Great service from Zappos. I exchanged the larger size for a smaller pair and got it within one day!!

    Brands I'd also recommend: Ryka N-Gage instructor for studio (step/kickboxing/lateral movements)

    Ryka's studio flex mis - I really like this shoe for Jazzercise. It is the first pair of Ryka's I have ever bought that was true to size. I normally go up 1 entire size. This shoe I ordered my usual size and it was a great fit.

    Jan G. Comfortable shoe, but not what I wanted. They did run true to size though. This shoe was too light, not enough support or padding for me. I like the older Ryka Studio engage that Ryka no longer makes (tears), which had a lot more padding and support. I am sending these back.

    Great studio shoe. I love the space in the toe box and the ankle support. They are pretty wide so if you have a narrow foot they may feel big. I on the other hand have large feet so finally a great shoe made for me!! Love it!! I use this shoe for step aerobics and heavy bag boxing.

    Love these - I bought these shoes true to size and love them. Feel they run a bit big which seems to be unusual for Ryka. I love them they were comfortable from the first time I put them on. The mesh allows airflow and they are super lightweight. I teach kick boxing and interval training and these shoes have been the best fit for me. The ankle support is an added bonus.

    The best shoe for jazzercise - I have worn several models of Ryka for aerobic workouts in a studio setting. This one has a wide toe cap and is lightweight. I would say it runs a bit large.

    Great - Light weight shoe with just the right amount of support. I enjoy a mid height shoe and am glad they came back with this style. This is the first Ryka I have purchased that seems to run true to size. And as always, Zappos free shipping is great.

    First off, I must say you guys at Zappos are unbelievable!! I order these shoes yesterday - May 14th and they arrived here today. You definitely broke your own speed records with this order. I don't know how you do it - and to top it all off the shipping is free. Most places can't or won't do that even with extra shipping charges added. Thank you so much for the wonderful service. Secondly, these shoes are great. They are lightweight and have terrific support in the forefoot and plenty of room in the toe box. I have flat feet and it's hard to get a pair of workout shoes that I can be tolerant of, let alone be able to rave about like this. I would highly recommend these shoes to anybody who loves high intensity step aerobics. By the way, they remind me a lot of the Ryka Enlight II's that were available about 6 years ago if anybody out there is familiar with those shoes. Thanks again Zappos and Ryka. Keep up the great work!

    Brands I'd also recommend: Ryka N-Guage is close but doesn't have the support that these do.

    THIS SHOE ROCKS! In my lifetime, I have tried MANY different shoes and found some really good ones. But this one is a keeper! This has got to be the BEST studio shoe ever! It is one of the most comfortable and light weight shoes I have ever used! When I first took them out the box, I was slightly skeptical. I didn't think Ryka could improve on any of their products. But boy, was I wrong! This shoe is perfect for Step. All moves were much more effortless! And impact wise, it's a winner! I cannot say enough great things about this shoe! If I could, I'd buy 100 pairs just to keep around. Now I hope this shoe doesn't disappear on us!

    I love these shoes! The heel is narrow and the toe box wider so they fit my foot perfectly. They're super light weight and breathable, so my feet stay cool. I wear them for Jazzercise and would like more cushioning and arch support, but I fix that with a pair of inserts. Overall great shoes and the Zappos experience is terrific. Excellent price and fast service. Free shipping both ways...gotta love that!

    Rykas plus Zappos, an unbeatable combination! I have tried other brands of shoes, but Rykas are the most comfortable, last the longest, and look the cutest. I normally wear a 7.5, but prefer more room to wiggle my toes, so I ordered an 8 and they're perfect, especially when doing high impact aerobics. Zappos - can't say enough good stuff about Zappos. Every purchase I've made through Zappos has been fast and worry free.

    I read all the reviews over and over about this shoe before I decided to buy it. I am very happy and shoe is very comfortable even the first time I wore it in my classes. I workout 2 1/2 hrs. Mon.-Sun. I do everything...steps aerobics, floor aerobics, Zumba, kick boxing, group strength, yoga, pilates and my feet did not hurt at all. I tried Asics Gel shoe, first time I wore it my feet hurt in the middle of the class...I love this shoe and definitely a keeper.

    This Ryka style has worked perfectly for me. I wear them primarily for Jazzercize, but have walked in them. There is good arch support. My foot is narrow and the fit is great, especially since I lace them all the way up. In fact, I am getting ready to order another pair for walking only. I can then weight train in either pair.

    Brands I'd also recommend: Naot, normally has great arch support

    Ryka's fit - Zappos will not be getting these back. I have owned several Ryka workout shoes and they have all been perfect. This style is wide enough in the toe box area so that toes are not squished even with heavier socks. I got them in black since that seems to be my color of choice for workouts! I always order a half size up for workout shoes (from 6.5 to 7).

    Great shoe if you have skinny heel/unstable ankles like mine; I have duck feet. Front foot wide (C-D width) and narrow heel (A) and skinny weak ankles. I've had bunions repaired but still wide and senstive in that area. I have a terrible time with shoes especially running shoes, they all slip at my heel if I try to fit my front foot. Based on one review that said that she had a bunions but fit in a medium, I ordered the medium width. Out of habit, I ordered up 1/2 size to accomodate thick socks, so I got a 6.5. The shoes fit great across front of my foot with socks and I could tie them up snugly at heel and ankle. But they were too long. I will return and get my regular size 6 and stay with medium width. I love that they are all white without bright stripes/streaks. Once I try to use them for running I will write back with more comments.

    Another great Ryka aerobics shoe! This is the first time I have tried this style and I love it. Very lightweight, good ankle support. I have worn for muscle conditioning, circuit training and high impact aerobics classes and it has been great for all three. I normally wear a 7.5 and ordered that size. The length is fine, but the it feels a little wide in the toe box and I have normal width feet. It is not enough to make me return the shoe, though. Will definitely try other Ryka shoes and as always, Zappos shipped the same day I ordered and I received the next day. Excellent service!

    These are terrible shoes. I wore them to 4 jazzercise classes and my feet hurt so bad I had to discontinue wearing them and now all I can think of is I wasted the money I spent on them. There is no support in these shoes at all; they are not appropriate for any activity, not even walking. I have been a loyal Ryka customer for many years; these are a bad product.

    Brands I'd also recommend: i think that New Balance has the market on well built shoes

    I love these shoes! I ordered them first in a 10.5 because that was the size I had worn before in a different Ryka style. These run truer to size. I have a very wide foot and, even though they don't come in a wide width, they fit my foot well. I was able to use them for my Jazzercise class immediately, no break-in period needed. Thanks to Zappos, they arrived quickly and I was ready to go!
