Customer Reviews Ryka Influence

These shoes work well for Jazzercise. They have good lateral support in the heel, and they bend and pivot well. They are a little big in the toe box but that's actually comfortable, and my heel is held in securely, and my foot doesn't slide around. I would recommend these shoes for Jazzercise.

I go to a lot of Zumba classes and they vary from very dancey to more traditional workout ( i.e. Jumping jacks, squats). I have owned several Ryka shoes and like them in particular because of the circle that helps with twists and turns. For this pair, I wanted more support and cushioning for those classes that have more high impact jumping moves. These shoes are perfect! I found them true to size although I often get 1/2 size bigger, I didn't based on the reviews. I wore them again to a class where the teacher loves jumping for some reason and I felt secure and cushioned well.

I love these sneakers! Nice and wide for my flat little feet, and they're super light. They're a little flatter than your average running or cross trainer, so I use them for weight lifting when I need a flat shoe. But they offer enough support to hop on the stair master for a while.

Very comfortable, but I ordered two sizes and now returning of them.

This is my first pair of Ryka shoes. I mainly purchased them to do some P90x type plyo and agility workouts. I was previously using my running shoes and I found my foot slipping around too much with side to side movements. These shoes work great! Surprisingly comfortable for cross training shoes. I ordered a 1/2 size smaller than my running shoes and they fit great. I would definitely recommend!

Comfortable and supportive throughout the foot. The heel fits and has cushion for active workouts. The toe box is roomy without being too wide. Color is dark, but looks rather cool with the green accent.

Loved these shoes, but unfortunately they did not fit. I wear a size 11, there is not a larger size to order, so I had to return them. The shoe was too short right at my big toe, which hit the end of the shoe. Other than that, they were comfortable.

Love these shoes, my second pair, worn the first pair out so now they are my "walk in muddy weather" shoes. Very comfortable and give my toes room to move.

I've been working out at home for more than 25 years, and, in the early days, Ryka could not be beat for women's aerobic shoes. But then something changed. New shoes I ordered felt like wearing cardboard boxes, and what followed was a years' long quest to find decent women's aerobics shoes. In the meantime, I developed foot issues heat, which made it practically impossible for me to do step or aerobic workouts without proper shoes, and I relied primarily on static cardio, like kettlebells. A couple months ago, desperate, I decided to give another pair of Rykas a try, since I'd seen some good reviews, and I'm so glad I did. These are the shoes I've been looking for! I even ordered two more pair because shoes are discontinued so frequently, I didn't want to be caught in the same situation going forward. The shoes have enough cushion to work for aerobics, and enough lateral support that you don't feel you're falling off the sole. I can't recommend these enough.

Great sneakers with strong tread for kids. I got these for my 6 year old son for moderate hiking and they are perfect. They have ample support and grip for moderate trail hiking. We love them.

Love these shoes. Cute and comfy!

Love these Rykas! I use them for w cardio/strength training class and also for kickboxing. I like the fact that the insoles are removable as I use arch supports in all my shoes. So far, so good!

I was looking for a better (more comfortable) sneaker for Zumba and have found exactly that!! I've tried cross trainers from multiple other brands, but always seem to have sore feet by the end of class - so far, these are wonderful!!! There is just enough cushioning and lots of support where I don't have any soreness on the balls of my feet when class is over. Exactly what I was hoping for! I'd tried Ryka before and definitely will again!!
