Customer Reviews Ryka Influence

I took these off immediately. The toe box is super narrow to the point I had tingling in my pinkie toes. I don’t typically wear wide shoes, but would need to in these.

My first pair of Ryka’s with poor workmanship, sole started to separate.

Cute but they didn't work for me.

Very small

There was little to no support, and they were pieces of the material that jabbed into the sides of my feet

not enough cushioning for old feet, but very cute nonetheless

These were too short on the outside of the toe box. Sent back either though I have them in another color and they’re fine. Idk

I was seeking a shoe without running treads so I could wear for strength training / HIIT / cardio indoors. For me the toebox was too narrow and my big toe hit the front-top. Was not comfy for my foot -- narrow heel and wide/higher-volume toebox. I like Saucony but their running-shoe treads are too sticky for this particular need.

Sizing has changed since I last bought these.

Not comfortable. I think the size was right, but the sole was very hard and the sides were stiff. At first I thought it was good, but then walked around the house a bit and it was not comfortable. Also too heavy.

Much too wide for me and I never take a wide width.

these don't seem to have much support; wanted to use them for Jazzercize and I've had other Rykas that were better

Super cute looking shoes but my outer two toes went numb after less than 10 mins of indoor wear. I'll be returning ?

Tight fit and very hard insole. Sending back for different brand of shoe.

My 2 positive feedbacks: 1. It’s truly as light as described in the specifications and the reviews. 2. The midsole is thankfully not white like 90% of all brand sneakers sold. Everyone would tell you it’s a maintenance nightmare to keep the midsole white, but that’s how most companies make their sneakers even though white midsoles are disliked. Conspiracy among companies to make people keep buying shoes?? My 3 negatives in spite of the good 2 positives above: 1. The wide width is not very wide, not enough to accommodate thick socks. Just OK for thin socks. 2. Oddly, the length of this 6.5 size is like my size 6 sneakers & other shoes I have been wearing for years until two athletic shoe stores recently measured my feet, advising to give my toes a little more room. I actually feel the front of the shoes with these Rÿka Influence sneakers! 3. It feels stiff, compared to flex knit sneakers. I don’t want to chance the materials will soften.

Very sloppy fit. Ball of foot hurts when wearing this shoe. I would love to give these away but wouldn’t want anyone the have the same issues. Very disappointed.

I really wanted to love these shoes as I got them specifically for Zumba. Unlike most running/gym shoes they were super stiff and uncomfortable the first few times wearing them. I gave them a chance to break in but I’m just not feeling the love. I wish I could return them. They rub in weird places like on the lateral aspect of the ankle and just don’t feel great for jumping around in for an hour. I used to wear super thin-soled new balance shoes for Zumba which they have discontinued. So I guess I am still on the hunt for a replacement. Oh and aesthetically they look kinda dorky too (imho).
