Used these for Zumba last night and they did great. I'm on carpet and they never stuck to it able to do turns without any problems. Lightweight but very good support.

I ordered this shoe for Senior Zumba class. Really makes a difference in the way I can move my feet and takes the pressure off my knees. I was so pleased with this shoe that 5 other ladies ordered this shoe and are very pleased with them.

Was told about Zappos by a friend and have been very pleased. Locating items are easy, and my order arrived swiftly and was exactly as described. It is also very comfortable.

Wore for the first time to Zumba. Already feel like they're worn in and comfy. Greatly reduced knee twisting and improved my balance. I had a better overall workout because of this shoe! Allows for easier pivoting! I could keep up because I was better balanced. Great shoe! Highly recommend! If you are between 2 sizes, go the 1/2 size larger. Fit reminds me of Puma or Nike.

I do my Zumba on carpet and these have made a big difference. Also reduced any knee pain caused by catching my toe on the carpet. Also light but good support.

This is the first time I have tried the Ryka brand. I was desperate for a shoe that did not hurt the ball of my foot after several sessions of Zumba. The dance shoes I had tried were supportive, slid well, but still hurt.
The very first time I tried them on, they were very comfortable despite a bunion on my one foot. After Zumba sessions my feet do not hurt at all. What a relief. I did purchase a size larger than my regular shoe size after reading other reviews before purchasing.
I would definitely recommend them to others. Besides the comfort, they are very stylish as well.

I have ordered these 2 times because without them I could not participate on my Jazzercise class without them! I have tried others but my feet hurt halfway through my workout.

Got these shoes for Zumba. Love them! The balls of my feet and knees used to hurt during and after class. These have totally stopped that from happening! I'd highly recommend these shoes! The only "downfall", the laces are a little long. I ordered a 1/2 size up for more toe room.

I was looking for a new pair of shoes for Zumba, to replace a worn out pair of Zumba brand shoes. I had tried some Bloch's and didn't like those at all. Another woman had been wearing these Ryka Studio D's and recommended them. After reading some other reviews, I bought a full size larger than what I usually wear, and they seem fine. The toe box and length are roomy and work well with my preferred Thorlo Experia socks. The laces allow for a more "custom" fit for my foot - a little looser across my high instep - while still keeping my heels and toes in a comfortable position. The arch and overall support is not like an athletic shoe by any means, but it is much better than the Zumba brand shoe. The Ryka Studio D's did require a about a week of Zumba to break them in (I wear them only for Zumba classes) - but I am dancing happily with them now!

My second pair of Ryka Studio D's! Liked the colors of my first pair better but alas, they don't make them in that color combo anymore. Great, lightweight shoe and is super comfy for Zumba. I wore my new pair to my Zumba class an hour after they arrived on my doorstep and they didn't need breaking in at all! Wish the laces were a wee bit shorter, but hey - that's why scissors were invented.

I bought these for Zumba and I love them. I ordered a half size up and they fit just right. Glad I made this purchase, made the dance moves easier.

I love these sneakers. I bought them to wear to Zumba class and they look and feel great. I have problems with my arch support and these sneakers really help.

these shoes were recommended to me by a friend, I was able to try them on first and was able to order them a half size smaller than I usually would. I love them. I wear them for step aerobics and strength and balance classes. They offer good support without feeling stiff.

I ordered this shoe for zumba after reading the reviews from other former Nike Musique owners. I also used Musiques for my classes, and was looking for a new shoe. And I am in love. These are my first Rykas, and they're so comfortable and light-weight. I'm thinking of buying another pair just to wear on a daily basis. I would highly recommend this shoe!

I just started Zumba and my regular athletic shoes just wasn't comfortable doing all the movements you do in Zumba. So I get on Zappos website(like many times before) and found these shoes. I read the reviews and researched many other 'dance' shoe and decided this one looked and sounded good. I ordered them on a Tuesday and received them on Thursday! I tried them on and right out of the box I knew I had chosen the right shoe. Great fit and comfort. I was also very pleased with the way they felt in class. I've always had the best customer service and fast delivery with Zappos!

I bought these shoes for Zumba and they are great! The circular treads on the bottom make the pivots and turns a lot easier. But they are still supportive enough to do the jumps. I tried another brand first and settled on these because they are comfortable, supportive, and they look good!

These are great shoes for Zumba! I ordered a half size larger than I wear in dress shoes and they fit me perfectly. They have great soles for pivots. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dance shoe!

I have wide feet and the shoes ran narrow for me, so I returned them. But I know of other women in my Jazzercise classes who like the fit/shoe. I'm keeping with a Ryka dance-type shoe with mesh uppers, which seem to run wider and have more give.

Usually I fit a size 9 in a shoe I wear socks. These felt a little too long and also way too big in the toe box - wider than what would be accounted for it being a smidge too long. I tightened the laces to the point where the shoe looked a little gathered at the toe end of the laces. Still to big. I bought these for Zumba shoes, but with my foot sloshing all around in the toe, they won't work.
I have been wearing some version of Nike's Court shoes to Zumba, but I lost them and am looking for a replacement more suited to Zumba. I thought I would like something a bit more flexible and nimble, and a little less huge looking on my feet, but these were too loose and had little arch support. They did provide some cushioning. If they fit, I think I would like them for street shoes.
These were not what I expected after reading many reviews. I really hoped these would work -- I do not want to spend more time shopping for shoes.

These shoes are great for exercise class. I am torn about wanting to wear them outside and also not wanting to get them dirty. They have a special circular tread on the sole that I really feel helps save my knees with the twisting and turning of Zumba class and kick boxing class.

Great shoe - I ordered a half size up as recommended and they are just right. I feel that I have very good stability during side to side Zumba movements, which was lacking in my running shoes.

Great shoes! They took a couple wears to break-in, but are now very comfortable for Zumba. They offer great support, although the traction is a little slippery on moves where your feet are planted in a wide stance. I've had them about a month and will order another pair when these wear out.

I love, love, love this shoe. By far the must comfy athletic shoe I've purchase. This shoe feels like an extension of your own body I never want to take them off. This is my first Ryka product and I am very happy!

I own a great pair of Ryka running shoes and love them. But these shoes are the best for Zumba. It does make a difference when doing all those dance moves. I wear size 81/2 but the size 9 is perfect in this shoe for me.
