These are one of the most comfortable shoes I have purchased to teach in. I have a wide foot and usually my feet hurt especially when I have to "break in " new shoes. These fit perfect;y and were comfortable from the moment I put them on!

I am really happy with my new Ryka Influence shoes. These really fit well, and since I have inserts it was necessary for me to find a shoe that I could take out the current insert and put in mine. This works on this shoe and I have been wearing them daily with no complaints. Now I need to find another pair with a different color. Thanks to Zappos.

This is my 3rd pair of Ryka Influence. I wear them for my jazzercise classes. They are so comfortable, stable and allow me to pivot with the dance moves.

I've never owned any Ryka shoes, and these seem great so far. I needed some cross-trainers for gym classes that required lateral movement and pivoting. I thought there would be less risk of joint injury than wearing running shoes. These seem pretty stable and supportive. There's also plenty of room in the toe box, which is important for me.

These are the best shoes for Zumba that I have tried. They seem to run long. They are light weight and allow for movement while giving support. I like 'em!

I love these shoes. They fit true to size and the pivot points save my knees when I twist and turn in my Zumba and Kick Boxing classes. An added bonus is the cute toe prints that I can see in the mirror while stretching out at the end of class. I alternate these shoes with a pair of ZUMBA shoes and I like these better!

I feel like I am walking on clouds when I wear these! I participate in high impace cardiovascular and these sneakers are very supportive. I have a lot of trouble finding a sneaker because I am flat footed and these sneakers have excellent arch support.

I really like this shoe to do Zumba, and it has great gel supports in the tie region which help greatly. It prevents them from going numb with all the jumping around. it also has great lateral support which helps my ankle from inverting. I think it's far better than the influence 2, and I hope they keep the shoe, continue to sell this version.

I have wide flat feet, so when I took these out of the box I thought, no way are they going to fit. But they do! They are very comfortable and have great support for my cross fit workouts. I like the streamlined look, too.

I had high hopes for this workout shoe, and read a number of positive reviews. However it was too narrow for my 10.5 - both feet. I liked everything else about them.

Love it! Great for Jazzercise. Comfortable, good support and lightweight. Wish they had it without the bright trim or in all black/grey.

These shoes were very small for the size. I wear a 7½ in a shoe size and always order an 8 in running shoes. I ordered the 8 and had to return them. I would advise you to order them at least half a size bigger than your regular size in athletic shoes.

I have been doing Zumba for about 7 years and have always used Capezio jazz sneakers. They were great for the dance part of Zumba but now i am finding that the classes i am taking are involving more jumping and these sneakers are great for that. Great support.

These are my second pair of Ryka Influence. I jazzercise 3-5 times per week and these shoes are extremely comfortable and durable. Like the extra toe room!

Love this shoe for Jazzercize and Zumba. It provides cushion, support and allows me to pivot my foot easily. Most comfortable Ryka I've ever tried.

I am a longtime Ryka shoe customer and think this company designs and makes the best fitting active shoe for women - or at least this woman who happens to wear a size 11M! This is the 2nd pair of the Ryka Influence I have purchased because they are so comfortable and lightweight and perfect for my 5 X a week Jazzercise classes. I wore these new shoes right out of the box for the whole class and without any issues. Great styling and quality and an excellent fit.

This is a great aerobic shoe. I teach Jazzercise classes and need a shoe with good support and cushioning that can handle high impact as well as lateral moves. The Influence training shoe did it all! I will definitely buy it again.

I first ordered shoes made by Zumba (with its logo). I tried one pair, picking the size based on the reviews. Too small. Returned those for the next half size. Felt like no change. So I did what I should have done in the first place. I ordered these Rykas. This is my third pair for Zumba class, and the fit was perfect--though I normally wear and 8.5, I order my Rykas a half-size larger. The fit perfectly. Rykas, I'll never cheat on you again.

I bought these for my 69 year old mom who is obsessed with Zumba. She said they were perfect and felt so light when she was in class but at the same time super supportive and had great cushioning. She's very happy. Her last zumba shoes were Ryka brand as well but she wore them so much she needed a new pair. Decided to stay with Ryka, seems like they are great for zumba. True to size. She is normally a 7 and that size was perfect. She does have a narrow foot but she has a bunion from hell that makes it difficult to fit into some shoes, but these were great for her.
