Customer Reviews Ryka Influence

It is not as wide as expected. It does not feel like a wide shoe more like a regular or narrow fit

I have these exact shoes in another color and I love them so, of course, I ordered the same size. They were too small. Sent them back and ordered a half size bigger and they fit fine. Very strange. Also, the cushioned insole/insert is different than what is in the other color of the shoes I already own. It is not as soft and cushiony as my first pair and you can definitely feel the difference. Still haven't decided if I am keeping them because I don't know if I want to switch the insoles back and forth from one pair of shoes to the other each time I wear them.

Ordered a 10W and they are a tad narrower at the area where your toes meet your foot than other wide shoes I've bought. If they were leather, they would stretch, but since they are not, I anticipate either quick wear or foot rub with extended use. They do provide excellent arch support (I have a very high arch). I might have returned due to the width issue, but since I had to go out in yard quickly (minor emergency) while trying them on, I kept them. Got on sale, so even if I only wear a short time, it's a good purchase.

Needed a bit of break-in time. Felt a bit narrower than expected. Happy to have them now after break-in period.

Attractive shoe. Would have loved it if I didn’t have a bunion. The decorative, strappy part put pressure on my bunion.

Loved the color & style of these shoes. Playing pickleball they felt too wide and my feet slipped around in the forefoot. Had to return.

Fit is good, however as compared to ryka Devotion XT, the shock absorption is not good enough, and I'm returning them in exchange for another pair of Devotion XT.

They fit well but not good cushion for jumping/any impact. I added in insoles to help. Additionally, they do not sit high on the ankles.

I always wear size 8, but it was too short and I exchanged them for 8.5. They are light yet supportive. Very comfortable and good for working out or walking

I bought these for low impact dance workouts and they serve that purpose quite well. However, I did switch out the insole for a NB orthotic. I felt they could use that extra cushioning. That simple addition really upgraded the comfort to perfect.

Really liked the look of these shoes but the arch support did not feel equal in both shoes. Obviously its my feet that are not identical, I am sure the shoes are the same. Just didn’t work with my feet.

They’re awesome!

These are very cute walking shoes but for some reason the fabric at the toe is too stiff for me and hurt my toes, especially my big toe, when I walked around the house. Unfortunately, had to return them.

Comfortable with a decent arch support.

Very cute. Look good on my foot. They have Support although the arch hits a bit far back for comfort. I just got them so I can’t speak to how they will do with a day standing on concrete floors ( I’m an anesthesiologist so I stand a lot) but the price is very good. So far I’m happy.

Incredibly lightweight shoes. Cushiony feel when walking. I will need to add an arch support because they’re not stiff enough to prevent my pronation. Just a bit less room in the toe box than I’d like, too. Nice snug but comfy fit on my narrow heels.

If this is an extra wide, then they must consider a stick figure to have a normal width. Good arch support, attractive and well-made shoe. Would be good for very narrow feet, but NOT women with wide feet.
