Customer Reviews Ryka Studio D

Love them. Perfect for studio classes or dance because you can pivot on the ball of your foot without torquing your knee!

I'm very happy with this purchase. It's SO much better than running shoes for Zumba! I do still wearing an arch support however. I would recommend that if you have any arch problems.

Bought these for Zumba class - love the fit, support, color, and style. Bought a 1/2 size larger than my regular size based on other reviews, and although my regular size probably would have fit, the little extra length doesn't hurt. Love the additional arch support (Nike Mystique has less arch support). No "breaking in" with this shoe.

I needed a shoe for Zumba class. Something lightweight with a pliable sole that would make turns easy. I have small, wide feet and this shoe is great!

Love these shoes! They are my first pair of Rykas which came highly recommended by others in my Jazzercise class. I have a problematic knee and needed soles that would pivot well in Jazzercise. These are perfect! Only issue was that I had to get used to the way I was able to easily pivot as I tended to slide. After one class with them it was no longer an issue. They are light, have a great arch and the fit is perfect. I ordered a 1/2 size up which fit just right.

Bought these for Jazzercise and they work great! Very comfy. For whatever reason, the right shoe rubbed on the back of my ankle for the first couple of uses. But after I broke them in, it doesn't rub anymore. Highly recommended!

I purchased these for Zumba class, and they are perfect. Comfortable, cute, and non-skid on the bottoms for all of the pivots/turning required in Zumba. I normally wear a 9 or 9.5 and ordered a 9.5, but I might actually consider ordering a 10 next time. They did seem to run a little smaller than my regular tennis shoes but completely worth it. These shoes rock!

Bought these shoes for Jazzercise. My knees were taking too much stress with all the twisting moves and these helped tremendously. The sole is not grippy, so you're able to pivot without putting strain on your knees. If you need a shoe with grip, this is not the one.

Amazingly confortable. I love using these shoes for my Zumba workout. I move better and they are lightweight.

These shoes were true to size and fit comfortably, which was great as it can be difficult to find shoes in size 12 (average width). They have made my Zumba experience much more enjoyable after having worn jogging shoes before. Price was reasonable and product performed as advertised!

I love my Ryka Studio D shoes. I ordered my normal shoe size and they fit perfectly. These shoes allow you to move better and not have problems with my knees because my tennis shoes would stick to the floor. What a difference they made in allowing me safer movements. Zappos, you rock. They came when you said and came in time for my next Zumba class.

These shoes are awesome for Zumba class. They enable you to spin, jump, and perform the moves to a higher degree. True to form and size. Just don't use them for anything else besides Zumba or dancing. I found out the hard way after I used the shoes for a spin class.

Excellent shoes for Zumba! Very comfortable, no break in time needed. They are so cute that I wear them with capris and jeans too!

Amazing shoes!! Like walking on a cloud. Wore them to my Movin' and Grovin' class and they were so comfy and easy to move around, especially the salsa. BUY THESE!!!!!

I needed shoes for Zumba class. These shoes work well because the design allows for pivoting without stressing the knees. I purchased both my size (9 medium) and the next larger size based on other reviews. I kept the larger (9.5 medium) size as it was a better fit. Zappos provides a great website and great service. Thanks.

Zumbalicious! I tried the Ryka Studio D and had my best dancing to date. No breaking in needed, full support of the foot (feels like my foot is wrapped in support), and great cushioning if I choose to bounce a little. I normally wear 6.5, needed a 7 in this shoe with a cushioned gym sock. Be aware they do not "slide" well at first, but once I danced a few classes the bottoms got more slick. I recommend this shoe for those women who are over 50 and doing Zumba!

Love this shoe whether I\'m wearing them for my zumba fix or out on all day adventures with my kids. Have 2 pairs that have last beyond the normal 6 mos, despite zumba 3x\'s\/wk and 2 of my friends purchased & love them, too! Vastly better than my previous Bloch and Nike shoes for zumba. Blochs were too slippery and hurt my hips, Nikes were never quite comfortable enough and wore out quickly.

Was looking for aerobic conditioning, elliptical machine, cross-training type shoe and these fit the bill. Not for the treadmill, great for the other stuff. The best part is the fit, snug in the heel so you don't feel them slipping. Not a lot of cushioning but just right for gym floors. I would buy them again.

Purchased these as a uniform shoe for middle school. They ran a half size too small. They have held up to everyday wear.

They look great and the fit is perfect. I bought the for practicing West Coast Swing and I really think heels are better. These are great for Zumba.

Excellent fit. I did buy half a size bigger as recommended in many reviews and the shoe was quite comfortable. Am wearing them for Zumba and this was much better than wearing running shoes. They are kind of ugly, but comfort is everything to me and I can put up with the looks. Excellent service from Zappos; I ordered them on a Sunday night and received them on a Wednesday morning. Shipping was free! Thank you Zappos.

This shoe is great. I use it to Jazzercise and it is very comfortable. I ordered these shoes with standard shipping. Two hours later I was updated to next day and VIP. I love Zappos!

These shoes are perfect for teaching Zumba. I have issue with my left knee so I need to be able to pivot on the balls of my feet without a problem & I can do that with these shoes, plus they are very comfortable.

Very flat bottoms, great flexibility for movement!

Love the shoes!! My only issue is within the first week of wearing them the one shoe is coming apart at the seam. Kind of bummed, but like them too much to send back.
