Customer Reviews Ryka Studio D

Ryka shoe - They are very comfortable and light weight. I use them for jazzercise and they are very easy to move in. I did buy a half size larger then normal and they fix fine.

I felt like these inhibited my movement a bit. They are going back and I'll keeping looking for something that helps me transition to new postions/movements during workouts.

I generally wear a true size 9 and these ran small, my toes were touching the front of the shoe.I'm going to try the 9 1/2.

These were my first dance (for Zumba) shoe. I returned them immediately because I have had meta-tarsal pain in the past and the thin sole did flex but flexed too much so that I started having pain twinges again after five minutes in the shoe and the sizing was too small.

These are really cute but the sole feels like it is split in 2 parts. No arch support at all. But the several times I tried them I got many compliments.

This was the second pair of shoes that I ordered in the hopes of having shoes specifically for my Zumba workouts, and unfortunately, I have to go with the other reviewers who say that they don't have nearly enough support for my foot. I felt like I was standing barefoot on the tile floor with these on.

Love to dance in these shoes, but I would not recommend these for people who have wide feet. I've tried these shoes on for a total of 6 hours of Zumba or hip hop. My feet have gone numb many times to the point of cramping my legs. I've tried them, broken them in...am willing to try a shoe stretcher, however--I think after 6 hours, these are pretty much "broken into" by now.

I ordered up a half size because reviews said it ran small. It did not for me. I do high intensity in home cardio programs that require lunging and pivoting and my feet slide all over the place inside this shoe. Disappointed.

Too short, and not the same size as my other Rykas, ie, smaller per the international UK - not 7, but 6.5.

Bought for the design but after owning them discovered a major flaw. These shoes are not well ventilated at all... Be prepared to have really warm and possibly smelly feet. They make great dance aerobics shoes if you are not going to long or at too high of an intensity level. They do make good running or even walking shoes.

This was my second pair of Ryka's but they have an entirely different fit. The heel was too loose, the toe too small and I even went up a half size. The long laces are dangerous in a Zumba class. Decided to return.

This shoe was one of the top ones recommended by a Zumba website, and I am sadly disappointed. The design forced my insoles downward and the outside of my foot higher- just asking for some bad twisted ankles. At least they're pretty. Returning.

I read the reviews before buying and bought half a size larger and they fit. They do not have enough support for me as I am doing Zumba in them and my feet really get tired and a bit sore after the workout.

For my foot, the space allowed for the heel was too deep and it is hard to fill in. I got a half size larger than marked and it is even not large enough to wear even a thin sock. The space behind the heel is useless. It is a snazzy little shoe and I'm keeping it but the Rykas I bought in the past were more comfortable.

I bought these as dance aerobic shoes, as I have been increasing such activities into my regiment. I will say that turns are easier in these shoes, but that is about it. They make my feet cramp up and the few classes I took in these were excruciating. Indeed, they even made my feet hurt just walking around in them in a fairly short time. Since I first bought them, I find them less painful to walk in, but there really is little shock absorption in these. I find the midfoot very boxy and not form fitting at all. Generally, there is very little support in these shoes. Sadly, I gave them a real good college try and cannot return them. So now they are my weight lifting shoes, as that activity does not require the same level of support as my running and dance aerobics do. I will say, weeks after getting the Rykas I did try on the Nike Musiques at an outlet store. Those were even worse. Instant discomfort. So, my zumba and other dance classes get my worn out runners until I find something that works.

I wore these for the first time yesterday and could not get through my work out, because my feet were numb after 30 minutes. I wish I could return them, but I wore them.
