Customer Reviews Ryka Studio D

A comfortable, lightweight walking shoe. Less bulky than my regular shoes, but still able to use my orthotic in it.

These shoes are wonderful. I go to Jazzercise five days a week and usually have pain in my right heel. But, since I have been wearing these shoes for a month I have not experienced the pain.

I love the Ryka Studio D shoe. Very light and great for Zumba classes and Wave workouts. The best feature is the light weight.

I bought these shoes for Zumba and love them. I usually wear a size 9, but needed a 9.5 in these. They give good support and look stylish.

What a difference these shoes make in a Zumba or dance class! They have just the right amount of support, and the pivot on the bottom of the shoe is perfect for keeping your knees from getting torqued during turning movements. They are definitely worth getting!

I have searched for a comfortable shoe for Zumba dance, and this one is the best I've ever found! Good style, true to size fit, and so comfortable. Just love this shoe!

The service was fabulous. My order came within a few days. I had to return a pair of shoes, wrong size, no questions no hassles. I would order again without a doubt.

These are very comfortable. Got them for Zumba gold which hasn\'t started yet, but used them for cardio kick box. The class was on an unfortunate floor over cement. some others had problems with the hard surface, but I was ok, and did not get the plantar trouble to which I am prone,

Leaving aside Ryka's very peculiar sizing, I have to say these are astonishingly comfortable. I've had achy ball-of-feet for years. I wore these to Zumba and for the very first time, my feet didn't hurt. In a somewhat off-label use, I wore them on a 3-mile climb in the Catskills (my daughter forgot her hiking shoes & I lent her mine). They were surprisingly good on the rocky path. They accommodate orthotics very well. I strongly recommend these for women who want to be active despite having achy feet.

I bought the Ryka Studio D shoes for Zumba class. What a difference they make from clunking around in sneaks! I may not have the "Zumba" moves but my feet are certainly happier. Dance moves are easier & lighter. I did order 2 pairs based on reviews about sizing. I wear a 7.5 so I ordered that + an 8. I slipped right into the 8 & sent the others back. Zappos makes it so easy to return + it's free!

Nice looking! Got lots of compliments at Zumba class. Not enough arch support for my high arches, so I added innersoles and it was perfect.

Great workout shoe if you take classes in a studio. I take classes all the time - one studio has carpet, the other has a dance floor. I have found myself getting caught up wearing traditional fitness shoes so I was excited when I came across these. They are great! I have worn Rykas for years and always wear an 8.5, except in this shoe. Be sure to order a half size larger at least. I ordered both an 8.5 and a 9 and the 9 fits perfectly. The toe box area is nice and roomy. The heel is narrow so there is no slipping. No break in time for these shoes either! I love these shoes so much I think I will be ordering another pair.

I found that Ryka Studio D shoes where great to wear for my Zumba classes. They are comfortable, have just enough support, and are flexible for all the moves. I have even purchased the other style Studio D Mid, they run a little small advise to purchase 1/2 size larger. Still a great shoe to Zumba in.

These shoes are fantastic. Light, but supportive. Put a definite spring in my step. I wear a size 8 or 8 1/2 depending on the shoe's cut. I ordered the black Studio D's in an 8 and the fit was perfect. The only thing I wish is that this shoe came in different colors.

I am very pleased with my Studio D shoes which I bought specifically for my Zumba classes. I wear Rykas in general since they give me more stability and I like the roomier toe box. I have narrow feet and usually take a size 10-1/2. As suggested by others, I ordered a size 11 and the fit was perfect. One unexpected surprise was that the gray and silver on mine were reversed. This is not standard for the low cut shoe but I like the color better and a very cool and much admired by my classmates. One suggestion I would make for Zumba use is to put a strip of duck tape across the widest part of the sole. Leave it on and use the shoes only when in class. It makes swivel movements easier and spares the knees.

This is a great shoe for Zumba--love its combination of support and flexibility, especially the sole's design that enables easy pivoting.

I purchased these shoes for Zumba class. They are a thousand times better than my sneakers. They have a sole that makes it easy to slide around but are still supportive like my running sneakers. I\'ve also received a lot of compliments on the look - someone in my Zumba class bought them too after she saw mine!

Love these shoes! This is my 2nd pair; I wear them for Jazzercise. They are so supportive especially on the lateral moves, and they feel so lightweight.

I use these for zumba and they are great. I ordered a 1/2 size larger and they are still a bit snug, but provide great support, while being flexible for dance moves.

I have wide feet. My street/dress shoe size is 7 wide. Most of my athletic shoes are 7.5. These were too tight in 7.5 and I had to exchange them for size 8. Once I got the size right, they are so comfortable and supportive. I don't need to break them in. I've also tried Nike Musique in 7.5 (which fit me) but that had no arch support and was a little more snug, so I chose this Ryka over Nike.

Love these shoes. I wear them for Zumba. They provide the support I need and the bottoms of the shoes make it easy to move across the floor for a dance fitness class. Additionally they are really cute on.

If you intend to enjoy zumba, you really need shoes that let you spin and that won't trip or hold your foot to the floor. These have been great for me. Good support, easy movement and lightweight. I usually wear a 9 or 9.5 and have gotten a 10 in Nike sports. In these, a 9.5 was plenty, allowing for a thick sport sock and still have plenty of room in the toebox. Very pleased!

I normally wear a size 8-1\/2 shoe and a 9 in an athletic shoe. Based on other reviews, I ordered a 9.5 in this Ryka and it\'s a good fit for me when wearing a cotton no-show sock (not a thin one). I ordered the size 9 originally and it was too snug. I am using these shoes for Zumba, primarily.

Cute, bouncy shoe for my zumba class. Have gotten blister 2 times on top of one toe, but that's more my funky foot than the shoe's fault. Oh yeah, my feet feel like they need to stretch when I wear them. I think they have arch support and my feet must be pronating. They are good fitness shoes, though.
