Very cute, comfy little shoe. Best if you need something light for the gym or working out at home. The style has a sleek look, which I appreciate with my larger (9.5) feet.

Love theses shoes! I have had them for almost a year and they are super comfy. I use them for Zumba about 3-5 days a week and just running around in. I have bad knees, and wearing these shoes helps keep me comfy.

Just received these shoes! I have worn many athletic shoes and these by far, are the most comfortable. My feet tend to hurt when I exercise, but these shoes cushion my feet so well that I wanted to share my discovery. They fit great and they look great! Great for Jazzercise!

I love my Ryka shoes. I use them for zumba and they let me dance freely. They run true to the size although they are a bit tight so it will be a matter of how you like your shoes to fit.

I am so glad that Zappos let me know when they had these back in stock! Love these shoes for TRX, biking and work!

Very comfortable and great fit, but sole has a little too much traction for quick turning in a jazz dance class.

I have been using these sneakers for months for Zumba and they are excellent. No other sneaker can compare. Very happy they fit my foot perfectly. I wear an 8 and it was true to size.

I've been waiting for these to be available again as Ryka had discontinued these shoes until recently. Yay! My 3 previous shoes were awesome for zumba, and a perfect fit in the grey color. This time, however, the grey model (which is now white with grey detailing) is too snug; I had to use a shoe horn to get it on. However, the black pair I ordered at the same time fit perfectly. I'm not sure if I just got a shoe that was just not manufactured exactly right or if all the grey shoes are a little smaller than before and smaller than the black. I'm going to reorder in the same size and a half size bigger.

This is my life-saver zumba shoes and my 3rd pair of Studio D. Can't thank Ryka enough for carrying sizes small enough for my feet (regularly Size 5; wear 5.5 on these to give room to socks). It has great arch and ankle support and with its circular soles, makes pivoting easy.

I got these as a gift for my mom for her Zumba class and she absolutely loves them. She had a hard time finding shoes that would give her enough support while also offering smooth movement for the steps. She was very happy with them and she she would totally recommend them for this type of workout.

Love the shoe. Very light, good arch support and this shoe doesn't slip or rub on my narrow heels.

When I was considering shoes that would provide comfort as well as stability for my zumba workouts, I got a recommendation from a friend to order from Zappos. I was pleasantly surprised to find not only free shipping, but in the event they are not suitable, free returns as well. In the future, I will not hesitate to try other products. The Ryka Studio D shoes work quite well for my classes, and the reviews were helpful. I did order on half size larger than my shoe size, and they were perfect.

I teach Zumba and take dance aerobics classes - these are a great shoe. You, don't have to break them in, they were comfortable the first time I used them. Have bought them in both colors and receive compliments on each of them.

I absolutely love these shoes! I've bought 2 other pairs of shoes for zumba class, and this is no doubt the best purchase and the cheapest of the three! Can't wait 'til they have more in stock. Will definitely buy at least 2 more in each color!

I love these shoes! I have narrow feet and heal and the Rykas keep them snug inside while dancing, spinning and jumping. I use these for Zumba and hip-hop aerobics only. They felt true to size in length.

I bought an 8.5 size to wear solely for zumba as of now. I wear shoes between 8 and 8.5 depending on the brand. When I first wore them, they felt a little narrow. I could feel a little pinch on the sides. However, after about 15-20 minutes of working out, they felt more comfortable. I have not faced any problems regarding size after that. They look very nice (granite/Gunmetal/White) and I would start wearing them elsewhere as well. Doing zumba is a lot more fun now, since they swivel and move well. I would definitely recommend these shoes for zumba. My only suggestion would be to order half size up from your normal shoe size. If you have wider feet, then maybe you would like to go up one size.

Love this shoe. Nice amount of cushion for the ball of the foot. I wear this for Body Jam and I haven't had any problems doing any of the moves, even the jumps and turns. I get lots of compliments on these shoes. I would buy them again.

Well worth the search! After owning all the major brands, this Ryka low was the surprising overall winner for zumba for me, hands down. All I do is zumba, 4-5 times a week so I needed the perfect amount of support and flexibility and cushion. It lacks the flash or a nike and the sleekness of a bloch but you'll be unique at the gym cuz not as many people know about his amazingly supportive yet soft and cusiony dance shoe. Now it will feel stiff compared to the Nikes and Blochs on the first try but once you wear it to class, you'll be blown away by how much support (meaning less pain) when you jump and twist. Not stiff after you wear it. I'm thinking of buying one in each color just in case ryka discontinues this super zumba shoe. Others I own, in order of most to least likable: Nike Troupe Low, Bloch DRT II, Nike Ballo, Nike Cameo, Nike Shox Electro, Nike musique IV, Puma, Sasha.

I am enjoying these shoes quite a lot. They feel and look great. I am using them for Zumba - and they work well. Very comfortable and in my opinion, much better looking than most.

Awesome shoe!
Although I never heard of Ryka Studio D until I read about them while searching for a dance sneaker, I have to say they are great for my exercise routine. With the pivot spot and comfortable support it has helped my knees tremendously! Although I ordered them in black, I received the gray and I liked them so much, I kept them. They are true to size. I've received many compliments about them at class that I suspect there will be many more orders placed - including me. Thanks Zappos!

Studio D -
Love these shoes. Bought them specifically for Zumba! I have a very wide foot and these fit very well. For me, the gun metal color was a good choice. I had compliments on the shoes the very first time I wore them. Very flexible, lots of cushioning too. I normally wear an 8 1/2, but I bought a 9 to help accommodate the width. Worked out great. They also look great with a pair of jeans too! You won't go wrong.

This is a very good shoe. I used it for Jazzercise for the first time today and really liked it. My Jazzercise studio is carpeted (YUCK) and this shoe really cut down on foot-drag. Pivoting was much easier and I didn't have any knee pain today - which is unusual. It has just enough traction, but not too much. Good cushioning for higher impact moves too. I'm impressed. I also have a borderline wide foot and it's not too tight. The only thing I don't like is that it's kinda ugly. Worth it, though. I would definitely recommend.

Love this shoe. Use it for Jazzercise as well as other indoor aerobics, elliptical, etc. I never wear it outside. Very lightweight. A little stiff at first, but quickly becomes comfortable. Also felt a little tight at first, but after just a couple classes, it's GREAT.

Great shoe!
I chose this shoe because I needed a light shoe for my dance aerobics sessions. These shoes have worked out great. I feel lighter on my feet and better able to pivot. And I think they are pretty cute too (I got the gray). A great purchase.
