Customer Reviews Ryka Studio Flex Low

I have sworn by these shoes for zumba for a long time. I use my own insoles, but have always been loyal to Ryka products. These shoes are like walking on air. I found that jumping in them did not hurt my joints, and I run into sore joints often. The only two issues I have ever had with these shoes are that they wore out quickly for me - granted I teach about 10 classes a week, and use a lot of high impact activity, so I found myself replacing them within a four month time period. Which is probably not that fast considering I teach often. But they are wonderful shoes for those that crash down hard on their feet. The second thing was there was an occasional time where I slid toward the outer part of the shoe's toe box on lateral movements and felt like I wore out that part of the shoe first. I think these shoes are very much cushioning shoes and less supportive shoes. So they are heaven for those who are hard on their feet. They provide great pillowy support, not as much as stability shoes.

I never write reviews, but because of a review on another sneaker that I was purchasing, I canceled that order and bought the Ryka Studio Flex. I am so very thankful for that review which mentioned that this is the perfect sneaker if you have bunions. I also do zumba exercise. This sneaker is perfect for both! Thank you writers for excellent information.

I needed a shoe for an aerobics class that was lighter and easier to move in than my big over pronating running shoes. This is it! Comfortable, light and perfect for a movement class.

I got this Ryka studio flex low 7M for my everyday exercise. It is very comfortable and has a good grip for sliding on the floor. I use it everyday for dancing, cardio, and others steps and I never had any sore feet after any activities. This shoes is very light, but my only dislike about this shoes is the material is not good quality compare to other brand name workout shoes.

These shoes are extraordinary! As an emergency room nurse, I spend a great deal of time on my feet. I really have noticed a positive difference since wearing these! My feet feel much less fatigued. I am also wearing them when working out now, and I enjoy them for that purpose, as well.

Purchased these shoes to use for a Zumba class and they perform very well and feel very comfortable.

I bought these for my mom who is now obsessed with Zumba. She sent me some far less stylish shoes that her teacher recommended and I turned to Zappos instead. I paid a bit more for these vs. the shoes her teacher recommended but they are very worth it. She loves them and loves the way they feel. She has major problems with her feet so the fact that they are crazy comfortable is a huge bonus...and they are adorable which is really all that matters.

Not the cutest shoe, but comfy and good for Zumba. Before, I was wearing dance sneakers and needed more support. These are a lot better for my feet and knees. I do a lot of Zumba, so I have these and the Synergy by Ryka. The Synergy is a cuter shoe, but both have good support and are easy to twist and dance in.

The perfect shoe for Zumba! Comfort, lateral support, soles for sliding! Better than any other studio shoe I've tried.

I purchased these as transition shoes after bunion surgery and they are great. They are snug in the heel and have a wide toe box.

I am not one to write reviews but I always read them. These shoes are amazing and I had to speak up. I bought this as a typicl cross fit shoe for Insaity among other things. The fit my foot (which is on the narrow side) better than any shoe I have ever owned. The stability the offer is unparalled. Also, this shoe stylish and I have gotten several compliments already. I have to admit they look, feel, and perform better than anything else by far!

I have been Jazzercising for over 30 years and was so happy to see Ryka bring back so old school aerobic shoes. I hope Ryka continues making these shoes because I have tried their other styles and continue to search the Studio Flex out because they feel the best.

What an exceptional company! My order arrived quickly and due to my unequal foot size, I had to return the order for a smaller size. The return label arrived without question, I had e.mail confirmation of their receipt of the returned shoes and my new pair of shoes were received within 24 hours and a credit to my CC was quickly given. The shoes were comfortable, if a little weighty for my small frame but excellent for my Zumba class. This was certainly the most trouble free and courteous company I have ever encountered since my arrival in America. Many other companies could learn a valuable lesson from them.

I got these shoes for Zumba class and really like them. They run a little wider than other Zumba shoes such as the Nike Musique, which was perfect for me. If you look at the product image of the shoe's bottom, you can get a good idea of the width.

Lightweight but sturdy. Great for my studio classes, including Zumba!

This wasn't the first gym shoe I picked, but this turned out to be my favorite. Very lightweight and very comfortable. Love the mesh top.

I ordered these for Zumba class as per a friend recommendation and the great reviews posted. Unfortunately, they are not smooth enough on the sole for the twist and turns required in Zumba classes. Also found they run about a 1/2 size bigger.

Perfect for Zumba. Lightweight, the soles allow for easy movement sideways, forward and backwards. There is good arch support. I looked at a lot of shoes and I was not disappointed in my decision.

Love this shoe -- very light, extremely comfortable, lots of support & stylish too. Love the long line the black shoe gives with black workout pants. Why not look good, right?! Would recommend to anyone who needs a great shoe for dance/aerobic-type activities.

These shoes are awesome. I have metrasal pain and these practically alleviate it. They provide good arch support, good insole cushioning and they are very light weight. They are also cute.

I bought these shoes for Zumba and I love them. In fact, this is my second pair. My first pair got worn out. They are a bit ugly, but they are great for wearing in my Zumba class. I have wide feet, narrow ankles and these shoes fit me very well.

Shoe performs as described. Lightweight enough for dance-type activity, but also providing good support. Toe box large, as promised, allowing for comfort. Wished I could have gotten them in white, rather than black, but they weren't available in that color when I needed them.

Comfort comfort comfort! Finally an all black well ventilated Tenni ! For years I wanted this but the only thing I could find was an all black solid leather Tennis shoe. That was way too hot to wear, and they usually looked dorky too. This shoe is not only cool looking but it is cool on the foot. Easy to dance in a wear with my dressier pants with out standing out like other multi color, bright, and sport wear looking shoes. Thank you for making it. I'm buying a second pare before they run out of it!

I live on the Big Island of Hawaii boonies; no where on the island to see nor buy these. I read the reviews, bought them and I absolutely love them! These are the best athletic shoes I have ever had. I have narrow feet; got half a size larger as suggested, and they fit perfectly. I can even wiggle my toes which is a delight. They feel steady and very supportive. My feet are flat; no problem with any arch bothering me. I would buy them in the white/silver if they were available! Also, many thanks to Zappos! For years they did not offer free shipping to Hawaii. So I wrote them off 10 years ago. But they came up on the search and lo and behold they were shipping to Hawaii now too! I was thrilled. We have no malls, nothing here. The Big Island is not Oahu where Waikiki is.

I love these shoes. I use them for Jazzercise and I find the arch support great and my ankles don't hurt.
