Customer Reviews Ryka Influence

Wow, do these shoes really fit well! They truly are shaped like my foot - wider at the front and narrower at the back. I feel more balanced in them, similar to my Merrell's. It does make a difference when women make shoes for women!!

Love these shoes, just bought them and worn them twice to Zumba!

These are the best shoes for Zumba and similar workouts! The sole of the shoe is super comfy, especially on the ball of the foot, which is where you need it most. The shoe runs true to size and is very comfortable.

This shoe is great for Zumba. It allows me to pivot and move without being overly grippy. I love the fact that it has the circle for easier pivoting. The shoe is definitely true to width and size. Ryka's do take a little bit of time to get used to before they become comfortable, in my opinion. My first pair of Ryka's took me about 30 hours total walking time before I could walk in them for a daily use. I did experience back pain and leg pain. After that is done and your body is aligned, the support is PHENOMENAL!!

Always love ryka. Size 10.5. No sloppiness in heel. Conforms to foot.

Shoes is good, services are great. It's very easy to return If I need .

I have a difficult time finding a shoe due to metatarsal pain and when I went to Jazzercise wearing this shoe, I had no foot pain! The shoes are light weight, breathable and have an excellent turning point. Planning to take them to Europe as my feet are pain free when Wearing the shoes.

I bought these shoes for my Zumba Gold class. I ordered the medium based on reviews (I usually wear a 10-10.5 wide in most shoes) and ordered a 10 and a 10.5. The 10 medium is a great fit, not too snug and a good length. They don't have a lot of cushion which I think is a good thing for the Zumba. They do seem to have a bit more traction than would be needed but it might just be my inexperience in the class. They appear to be well made, have work them 3 times so far and noticed no issues.

I needed shoes for Zumba, and these have been great. I love the style and fit and how easy it is to move in them during class. Based on other reviews, I ordered a half size up (I am normally size 9 and ordered 9½), which ended up being the right call.

I keep trying to replace my Ryka Ambitions. These are closest, so far, but nothing compares to the cushy feel of the two pairs of Ambitions that I've worn out using mostly for Jazzercize and then walking when they're retired.

Wearing these for DVD workouts with Cathe Friedrich on a wood floor. They are great so far - perfect pivoting sole and nice cushioning and great fit. Bought my usual 7-1/2 and fits perfectly with nice toe box room. Great for kickbox, step, low impact, and tabata. Planning to purchase another pair.

Ryka is the best athletic brand, and this particular style has the best fit, comfort and function for many types of exercise. I'm very difficult to fit and to please. High arch, high instep, small feet, but wider than most, etc. Very happy with this choice! Go for it.

I am very happy with my Ryka Influence shoes. I do Zumba gold 3+ times a week and needed a shoe with good support and these are perfect. I can pivot and do all the moves and they are true to size, great support and am very happy with them. I would recommend them highly.

I was looking for a new shoe to wear for various exercise classes, particularly Zumba and this one is wonderful. Fits well, is light and performs very well. Glad I gave this brand a try!

I put these shoes on and went right to my zumba class and they are awesome. No getting used to them -they were made for my feet!

I've tried other shoes for Jazzercize...but I keep coming back to Ryka. I do hope that they will keep this style for years to come. They fit great right out the box. I am a size 8 and ordered an 8 and an 8.5. It is true that they run about a half size small. Keeping my 8.5 and am happy as a lark! Love Zappos!
