Very happy with my new shoes. Have worn high top Rykas before, but decided to try the low Studio Flex because of the glowing comments of your site. 6 months of Zumba and my knee was hurting. No pain since wearing these shoes. Ordered half size larger than street shoes. (Other Rykas were a full size larger.) My foot is rather wide. Thanks.

Great shoe for Zumba/Dance Aerobics. Comfortable, good cushioning in the forefoot and supports whole foot.

I decided after the first of the year I would get myself the proper shoes for my 3 times a week Jazzercise class.. So I bought the Ryka Studio Flex Low shoes. What a difference this made in the high impact exercises.. They were plenty wide and the cushioning is just right. My instructor always recommends them and after a year of wearing the "wrong" shoes for the exercise. I can see why she is such a fan of these. Zappos is always efficient and quick and accommodating in all transactions now and in the past. Thanks Zappos . Buy these! You won't be sorry and your feet will love you.

These shoes are by far the perfect shoe for Zumba or any dance inspired workout! They are light on the feet, but still provide the right amount of cushion and support. I have tried several name brands and keep finding myself disappointed (shoes are too heavy, not enough support, etc), but I have not a single complaint with the Rykas. I highly recommend!

I have a wide front foot and couldn't find a shoe for zumba until these. They are light as a feather and very comfortable with some arch support. I love them, although I wish they came in more colors.

My new Ryka "Zumba" shoes are awesome! I need lots of cushion & they are it! Tried other "Zumba/dance" shoes & just didn't have enough cushion in right places for my flat feet. Thank you Ryka & thanks Zappos!

These are the best shoes I ever used for my Jazzercise class. Very comfortable, well fitted, never had problems with it. You are not going to be sorry if you buy them, you will be very happy!

Really nice shoe. Comfortable and provides support too. I use them for Jazzercize and couldn't be happier with them.

These shoes weigh less than the 11 oz stated in the description. That's a good thing, but the write-up should be corrected. Love the shoes. They're much better in the gym than running shoes. I use them for step aerobics and strength training. Assist XT are also great and have a tad more cushioning.

I use these at the gym four times a week. Twice a week for Zumba. They were very comfy and lightweight out of the box, even with my wide feet. Much easier to dance with these on than regular sneakers. I would buy them again!

Got these shoes for zumba and they are just great! Fit with room in toe box, good padding under ball of foot, and they hold my foot snugly in lateral movement.

This was my second purchase of the Ryka Studio Flex shoe. I first bought a white pair and loved them so much I bought the black pair! I wear them for Jazzercise and find them to be very comfortable and flexible. I would highly recommend these shoes.

This is the first pair of Rykas that I have owned. Even though I was a little nervous about ordering shoes without trying them on first, I have been very pleased with my purchase. I have a wide foot in the front with a very narrow heel and they are a perfect fit. I teach a cardio-dance fitness class 5 times a week and these shoes have worked like a charm. For me, it did take several classes to break them in.

I primarily do zumba classes with these shoes. They have worked out very well and I love them.
Very comfortable and the fit is true to size. I wear orthotics, and have found I did not need to go up a size -- some shoes I needed to do that. When other's have complained about sticking to the floor while dancing, I have not found that to be the case with these shoes. I would definitely recommend these shoes!

These shoes are comfy. I bought them to use in Zumba class but they are a bit more slippery than I'd like on the laminate wood floors.

Zappos was easy to use and I had my shoes within 4 days.
Love the Ryka Studio Flex. They are light weight enough that I can dance in them, but durable enough that I can skip and hop and still get good support!

These are awesome for ZUMBA! I have a high arch and wide foot and only wear New Balance 8.5 D shoes. Nothing in the New Balance line worked for me for ZUMBA. After reading about the Ryka Studio, I decided to try it even though it didn't come in wide. The B width is perfect because it has a roomy toe box but not too wide around the rest of the foot.
I've done two ZUMBA classes in these and could move so much better than in my NB shoes. Also, no back and knee pain at all.
If you have a wide foot, try these shoes. The B width works great, even with thick socks.

This shoe is fantastic. I have a wide toe box and mostly purchase wide New Balance and unfortunately those shoes are clunky looking, but the shape of this shoe tempted me to try it. And it fits wonderfully! And good looking. Very lightweight, good traction without being "sticky". I teach aerobic dance, so comfortable with good support. I bought black and then got a pair of the white for next spring.

I was a little nervous about the fact that the only width available for this shoe was "B" because I have a wide foot, but I trusted the other commenters and did what they said: Got the half size larger (9 instead of my usual 8½). And it worked out perfectly. The shoes are comfortable, lightweight and feel bouncy -- which is what I wanted, i.e., I bought them because they were recommended on a site for Zumba classes. They're not especially attractive but they're not ugly and they're what I wanted for class.

I have been wearing my shoes for 3 months now. I bought these shoes for Zumba but I also use them in my other classes at the gym. I wanted a shoe with good support and great cushioning in both the heel and ball of the foot. I wear size 9 running shoes and I ordered a size 9 in this shoe. A perfect fit. I love This shoe! I will buy it again and I will shop Zappos often!

These are my favorite shoes for Jazzercise and the first that fit my wide foot comfortably. No need to order wide. I ordered a half size smaller than I normally would and they fit perfectly. I like the low rise better than the mid. They still provide plenty of support but are easier to maneuver in.

I bought these shoes for a Zumba class that I take 3 times a week. They are excellent! They really are the perfect Zumba shoe as they provide stability, yet still allow you to move and twist on the balls of your feet.

This is the third pair of these I've purchased -- had to have the black for winter! It's the only style of athletic shoes I've found in the past several years that doesn't hurt my feet (I have plantar fasciitis, achilles tendinitis, and am hard to fit with WW forefoot, narrow heels, and high instep). The toe box is roomy enough for my wide feet (I went one-half size up from my normal athletic shoe size) and it doesn't slip too much on my narrow heels (just a little). They aren't as cushioned as most athletic shoes, but I do better right now with a hard shoe since too much bounce gives me a tendon flareup. I use these for Zumba -- they don't stick to the floor as badly as normal athletic shoes, even on the rubber floor they have at my gym's aerobics studio.
