I am so glad that I found these shoes for my hard to fit feet (I have a wider front foot with a narrow heel). They fit well, are comfortable and don't cause the numbing in my toes that I've experienced with other shoes. They provide good support and cushioning for my vigorous daily workouts too. They are so comfortable that I don't want to take them off once I put them on!

Good shoes, and cute too. This is my first pair or Ryka's and I really like them. I have heard from several other Ryka owners that I should order a 1/2 size bigger, when I did, they were too big. Had to send them back and order my true size. They fit great. I wear these shoes for Jazzercise.

Love these shoes! I've used them for step, kick box and weight trianing. They seem to have good cushioning in the forefoot for high impact. They just feel right for working out.

These shoes were so comfortable from the moment I put them on and wore them for Zumba. Thanks again Zappos for your spectacular service.

Good cushioning.
I bought these shoes to be versatile for all forms of exercise. They have great cushioning for under the ball of the foot. I use them for step and boot camp classes. They seem really wide and I have a wide foot. I have to lace them really tight and wear thick socks to keep my foot from sliding around. But, the toe box is tall so there is no rubbing on your big toenail. Overall, it's a great shoe. I wish Ryka would make their shoes more breathable. My socks are always soaked after I take these off.

Great Fit - Comfortable Shoe -
This is a great shoe for dance aerobics. It fits well and gives lots of support in the right places. I ordered 1/2 size larger than I usually wear in a street shoe and that was perfect. They accommodate my orthotics well, too.

Best Ryka Tennis Shoe -
I have purchased 30 pairs of Ryka's over the years. This is by far my favorite style. It is very light and super comfortable. My foot is a little wide and it gave me ample space. Zappos was so fast on getting me these shoes. I will never order them from another company.

Love These Shoes!
I've always like Ryka shoes but have trouble finding them. Zappos had a great selection and this particular shoe was perfect for what I needed. The fit is very comfortable and the design is stylish without 'too' much color!! Now that I found some good shoes, I'll be purchasing a couple of extra pairs...

My feet loved these shoes right out of the box!
I've tried many different shoes and these are by far my favorites...even my bunions love them. Having a bunion problem makes finding workout (Jazzercise) shoes a challenge. Felt true to size, not binding at all. They are very light and they even make my feet look cute!

Great Studio Shoe -
I tried several different shoes before finally deciding on the Ryka. The mesh upper is soft and breath-able. I use this shoe in studio classes as well as in the cardio room in the gym. The heel cushioning during studio training and support during cardio training. All around great cross training shoe!

I am a fitness instructor of 15+ years and have always loved Ryka, especially their engage models. They always have superior support, comfort, and fit for women. This newest shoe the Flex Low (even though it isn't an engage model) I think is the absolute best shoe they have ever made. I teach anywhere from 6 to 8 classes a week and do personal workouts in between and would not part from these shoes. I'm even going to get a second pair in the other color.

Great sneaker!!!
I just signed up for jazzercise and my friend insisted that I buy Rykas. My feet/legs feel so good in class. They're great for jumping and bouncing around. Worth every penny. I hardly noticed that I am wearing sneakers. And, I have funny feet and nothing ever seems to fit right, but these are perfect. I am not sure about the plastic flower design on them...not quite my style...but I am so happy with this purchase that I could overlook that.

These are perfect for indoor Zumba class. I wish it came in a different color, but the black is fine...a little boring...but fine.

This is a great lightweight shoe, with great support. It took me awhile to find a good shoe for both step and dance jam and I think this may be it. It does run a bit large. The only complaint I have is that the rise is a little high near the front of the ankle, but it's soft, so manageable.

Nice, lightweight shoe that I wear for Zumba. I think the shoe helps me pivot better and torque knees less -- or maybe I'm just more conscious of how I move. Okay arch support for Zumba -- not for heavy duty aerobics. Really true to size. I ordered my usual 10.5 and it fits perfectly. I ordered 4 different styles (2 different brands) and this shoe had no heel slippage or tight toes. No breaking in period either. I returned the other 3 shoes. I'm happy with this one.

I love the look of the shoe and I love the feel of the shoe, but when I went to a kickboxing class, the shoe does not have any grip on the bottom. My feet kept slipping on the floor.

These shoes fit true to size. Wish it was more cushioned inside. Plus the delivery was so fast. Great!

This shoe has great cushion; much more than most studio dance shoes. Unfortunately I have a narrower foot so even with my custom footbed inserts they were still too wide. I am returning. :(

Comfortable but not quite as much cushion or arch support as expected. Performs well for zumba classes. Would not recommend for anyone with a wide foot. Laces a bit short.

I first bought these 1/2 size larger than my normal shoe size since I wear\r\northotics, but I ended up ordering them a whole size larger. They are\r\nvery comfortable. I have been buying Rykas for years and always have to\r\ngo up a size in all athletic shoes.

Overall, I love these sneakers. I use them for aerobics and elliptical machine work. The only downside I have found is that when they are brand new, they are too stiff in the ankle area, so when you move laterally during aerobic work you are aware that the shoe rubs your ankles. Not horrible, but noticeable. Otherwise very comfy and bouncy.

These shoes are great! There is plenty of room in the toe box, which I typically have trouble with. There is plenty of cushion throughout the shoe. One word of advice: I normally have to go up a 1/2 size for athletic shoes. I purchased these in a 9 1/2, and my foot slides around a bit. A 9 (my street shoe size) would probably fit better, but because I like the shoes so much, I decided to keep the 9 1/2. I might purchase a second pair in a size 9.

I read the reviews on these sneakers before purchasing them. In more than one instance, the people said they ran large to order a half size larger. I did, and they ended up too large. I kept them anyway, they are very light weight and seem to give a barefoot feeling, not as much support as I am used to in a sneaker because I usually purchase running shoes. I will be using them in my Zumba class and for walking the dog. I do like the way they feel and they way they look.

Really solid shoe. I ended up putting in Superfeet inserts because I needed more arch support but otherwise I am very pleased. Good lateral support, roomy toe box, and narrow heel which keeps my foot very stable. Felt true to size.

This is my 3rd pair of Ryka shoes. Love them every time, but not so sure these are for me. I've always been a 6, but these shoes seem too wide in the toe and a little longer than all my other pairs. Comfort is great though! If they made a half size smaller I'd exchange them to see if they fit more snug. I don't feel the security in these as I usually would with Ryka's. If you need a little extra room in the toe area these are for you. No doubt these would be a GREAT aerobic shoe for high impact classes, but also would be good in the gym lifting. The white on the shoes are shiny, but with wear I think they'd dull a little. Not the coolest looking shoe Ryka has to offer, but I'm one for fit not looks!
