Customer Reviews Ryka Studio Flex Low

Very comfortable, but supportive enough for my aerobics class. And so lightweight! I never buy black shoes, but my exercise clothes are mostly charcoal and gray, and these shoes look good with them.

These shoes are perfect for Jazzercise. The exercise routines are chock full of lateral movements, jumping, quick turns, and balance. They are supportive and have a generous amount of cushion in the footbed. I have mild arthritis in my big toe joints, but these shoes allow me to exercise as hard as I want without experiencing pain, which has not been true of other athletic shoes. In 6 months or so I\'ll have to replace them for use in exercise classes, but I will still be able to enjoy wearing this pair of shoes with my jeans! As for looks, I\'ve gotten many compliments from other Jazzercisers!

Starting Zumba, I found regular aerobic shoes to be too sticky and did not allow sliding. I tried several shoes, and this was far and above the best. Feels like a good aerobic shoe, fits like a glove and makes me feel like dancing! Perfect shoe.

I workout 4-5 days a week in a high impact exercise class and I bought these shoes after my knee started to hurt during my workouts. I love them. They are lightweight, so comfortable and add a lot of support. I would definitely recommend them. They do run true to size if not a little bigger. Oh, and they are cute in pink.

I chose this shoe based on reviews here at Zappos. I purchased my first pair of Rykas almost 15 years ago and they were a full size bigger than my regular shoe size. Thanks to helpful reviews, I ordered the Studio Flex only a half size larger. I was worried that the shoe would be too wide for me since so many reviewers were happy with the way the shoe fit their wide feet (I have more narrow feet). Well, the size was right on. I love these shoes! They fit so well all around my foot. I don't know how they can feel so roomy, but yet my foot doesn't slide around the way they do in my Nike Shox. I intended to continue to wear my Shox for strength training and the Rykas for studio classes, but the Rykas feel so much better. I may not ever wear those Shox again! The Rykas are lightweight and very breathable. I had replaced the insoles in the Nikes with Spenco insoles, but have not done so with the Rykas, haven't needed to. I exercise at the gym 5 days a week, doing cardio 3 times a week. I have worn these Rykas in BodyStep, BodyAttack, BodyCombat, and RPM classes, and as of recently, the weight room. The shoes feel like they are a part of my foot. They're great and I am so pleased. I'm considering ordering another pair! Ordering from Zappos gives me peace of mind to try out shoes, knowing I can keep trying until I find what works for me. I got lucky this time on the first try, thanks to so many helpful reviewers. I hope this review helps someone else.

I love these shoes! I had been wearing regular running shoes for step, spin, weight classes, and was having terrible shin splints. Immediately after switching to this shoe the shin splints stopped. They provide lots of support and are very comfortable. They are not the best looking shoe, but I will sacrifice style for comfort!

I'm an aerobics instructor so I need a great studio shoe with lateral support and good cushioning in the forefoot. These shoes are the best I've found. I ordered my actual size and they are big enough to accommodate my orthotics. Also, these shoes have a wide toe box which is really comfortable. There is no rubbing on the sides of my toes! The white ones are kind of cute in their own funky way.

really great shoes, however I could have gone to the mall and found them there; but I hate to go to the mall; and I love Zappos customer service!!! I will continue to shop Zappos, and tell my friends!\r\nThanks for running this business the way you do!

I love these shoes! Actually, I knew I would ahead of time with these, because I had previously purchased the mid version of this shoe and loved them. I would highly recommend either shoe to someone who does a lot of high impact aerobics such as step or kickbox (my favorites). The mids might be just a tad better for their lateral support, but I love them both. Thanks again to Zappos for your great service!

I purchased these shoes solely for the purpose of wearing them for my Jazzercise class. Not only are they the most attractive athletic shoe I have ever owned, they are super comfortable, true to size and are perfect for high impact aerobics. You can\'t go wrong with these shoes!

These are excellent shoes. They are light, have great arch support, and even look cool. I need more cool in my life so I ordered two pairs. \r\n\r\nThanks for the excellent service.\r\n\r\n

Unlike most Ryka's these shoes run true to size. I teach Jazzercise and use them all of the time. They have a great sole for the numerous pivots/twists that we do because it's smooth and doesn't stick to the floor like traditional shoes. They also are made of a breathable mesh which keeps my feet from getting so hot. Great shoes!

Love these shoes! Ryka is the only athletic shoe I will wear. They feel great from the first wearing with no break-in period needed. Thanks for the super speedy shipping! It's a pleasure doing business with you.

I use these for the elliptical trainer, weights and other toning workouts. They are so comfortable - I love that they have solid support for my arches and my foot doesn't slide around, and also that they are flexible enough to allow me to use the machines and jump around. My workouts have actually gotten easier since I've gotten these shoes. I would buy them again!

I do high impact intense interval step-aerobics 2 to 4 times a week. I had been wearing my running shoes, but decided I needed to go a more sport specific when I noticed the balls of my feet were sore. So far so good. They are very good looking and feminine (I got the white). The front of the shoe seems to be bit wider, which is nice for going up and down on the step. I didn't realize the difference the lateral support would make. I just feel like they're supporting me in the step-routines. They are also lightweight and well-cushioned, but not to the point where you're squishing around in the shoe. They were comfortable out of the box. Overall a very good find for aerobics shoes.

I have worn Ryka for years now. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Just when I thought there would never be a more comfortable pair, Ryka came out with the Studio Flex! All I can say is thank you!

I ordered these shoes for various step aerobics classes and other classes at the gym. My knees were bothering me when I wore my other athletic shoes. I have been thrilled with the comfort, fit, support, light weight, and also the appearance of these shoes. My feet are somewhat wide at the front and narrow at the heel, which makes these shoes perfect for me. I can twist and turn in them and still have all the support I need so that I don\'t injure myself. I am also extraordinarily pleased with Zappos excellent customer service. Thanks for a great product and a great company.

Love this shoe. I am an aerobic instructor and my shoes are my most important piece of equipment. These have great support and cushion. They are comfortable right out of the box. Ryka makes shoes for women with a wider forefront. Highly recommend the Studio Flex. I have 2 pair. The Low Studio in pink/white and black mid/high. I plan to purchase another pair.

I love these shoes, but I seem to love every pair of Ryka tennis shoes I buy. No getting used to time needed, you just put them on, and it is instant comfort. Thank you, also, for the wonderful customer service. It is a joy to work with Zappos.
