Great fit and true to size. I wear an 8 and they were perfect. They felt a little stiff at first but they quickly became much more pliable. Very light weight. I knew I had made a great choice when I wore them to my Zumba class and realized thet my instructor was wearing the same shoes!

I wore them to exercise at home and they worked, so I am keeping them.

I was looking for shoes for HIIT and other Xtraining activities, and these provide the stability and grip I need. I wouldn't run in them as they are not well-padded, but they are perfect for a 45 minute HIIT program and the like. I've been through many brands and styles over the years, and these are a game changer.

I have been ordering Ryka Influence shoes for several years. They are the perfect fit for my feet. I wear them every day for the gym exercise class, walks or pickle ball. I love that they are lightweight and have just the right amount of cushioning!

This shoe fits me well. It's very good for Zumba dance. Seems to be very good quality.

Used the app to get the right size. They fit wonderfully, comfortable right out of the box. Perfect for things like Jazzercise. I notice other people in the class sliding during a lunge, but these shoes keep me sticking to the floor when needed and slide when needed. Love them.

These shoes look great and are very comfortable for gym workouts. I have a very wide foot (at shoe store I was told I may need to wear only mens shoes) and these aren't quite wide enough for me. I ordered these online so don't want to return them. I will still use them for now, but will probably try something different once these wear out.

I like these shoes because they have more width room in the forefoot area. Not real arch height like running shoes I have foot problems even after surgery. So far they are great.

Size 8.5 and fit true to size. Comfortable right out of the box. I use for HIT training and plyometrics. Great shoe.

My new Ryka arrived and I immediately switched out the innersole for my orthopedic ones - a major reason I went with Ryka!
Then came gym day. My coach was so happy I'd gotten a brand that was more appropriate for the type of training we are doing. I'm even able to jump rope now!!!

I have been using Influence Training Shoes from Ryka for Jazzercise for quite a few years. These are the best training shoes for Jazzercise.

This is the second pair of Influence shoes I have bought. They are lightweight yet still supportive enough for aerobics or zumba classes. They come in a nice range of colors.

These are such great shoes for dance-cardio. Wonderful cushion, and support for side-to-side movement. The N-Gage sole is like the old version Ryka made of a higher-top shoe called "N-Gage". Unfortunately with my orthotics, and foot issues, I couldn't use these and had to return.

They were comfortable and fit perfect right out of the box! I wore them for four hours straight. No blisters, no sore feet. PERFECT!!! I've been buying Rykas for over ten years and won't buy anything else.

This is the second pair of these shoes that I have purchased. I use them for Jazzercise, a dance exercise class that I take. After one year of use, I purchase a new pair of shoes to avoid back problems. The older pair now rotates into the everyday use pair and the new pair is only worn on the gym (or home gym) floor. Excellent shoes for dance exercise because we do a lot of rotations.

Love the stability of these for aerobic exercise and side to side motion. I have running shoes that just didn't work for aerobics as they were to cushiony and my foot would turn outward and these are perfect. I have a wide foot and I love you have the wide option and also the arch support on these is fabulous for high arches.

Lightweight and reasonably priced. I'm using these shoes only at the club and they work for everything, even high impact aerobics.

I love that over the years I have always been able to depend on Ryka for maintaining their sizing and styling. They have added items over the years but when I need to replace my Jazzercise shoes I know I will find what I need. Although they are made for a wider female foot to start, because I have a wide foot and high instep I am grateful they make a D width. Thank you Ryka for your commitment to a good shoe and thank you Zappos for carrying them!
I'd also recommend:
Any women's brand that makes a D width without compromising style. It can be done!
