Customer Reviews Ryka Grafik

I'm no skinny minny, so I need a shoe with support and padding in order to be able to get out of bed the day after Zumba. This shoe is it. Two other brands left me with seriously achy feet and lower legs the next day. I put these on out of the box and went to class. So comfy! Even when jumping. The Grafik doesn't catch on the floor when you move laterally and you can easily rotate on the ball of your foot. The shoe material breathes so my feet don't get too hot. I'm okay with the plain styling, others may want more flash.

Love these shoes! Just ordered a second pair. They are low profile & fit my feet like a supportive sock! I wear them for Zumba, Piloxing, Sculpt & Ballet Sculpt classes. I have had plantar fasciitis x 2 & now wear orthotics or Vionic shoes. Don't need orthotics with these.

These Rykas are adorable. But absolutely NO support for aerobics. I work out 5 days per week, including Jazzercise high impact, and my feet and calves were on fire the first time I wore these. I am not overweight and never had a problem with sore feet and calves. If you want a cute shoe to maybe take a walk in, that would be okay, but not to do high/low intensity work outs. I wear a 7.5 med shoe and this Ryka fit perfect in 7.5

I wore these shoes for a Zumba class they were a little tight usually wear a size 8 but I should of gotten a size 8 1/2 ran a little small. They were very easy to pivot,turn and slide on, and very light weight which is great Zumba. I would recommend them for anyone for dance excercise.

I was a little skeptical to buy shoes without trying them on first, but this shoe had great reviews, so I went ahead with my purchase. Well, to say the least, they fit perfectly and the arch support is not rigid but very comfortable. they aren't too wide or too narrow. Like I said, they fit perfectly. I got what I needed and on time. I love these and plan on getting another pair.

I like the fact Ryka specializes in women's footwear. The only concern is the seam at the front of the shoe - where the hard plastic meets the soft fabric - you can feel it rub against your toes. Not a terrible problem, socks should help and time as they stretch a bit. Overall, a great feel, light, and good support. The sole is perfect for dance (jazzercise and/or zumba). I'm very happy with the shoes and, of course, shopping Zappos is always a great experience.

I bought these for Zumba because of the pivot point. They are easier on my knees as I had hoped but there is not enough cushioning at the ball of the foot. The toe area seems very wide and my foot moves too much in the shoe. I usually buy New Balance for walking because they run wider across the toes. I bought my usual size in New Balance and these fit true to size. I am again searching for the perfect Zumba shoe.

Because I'm not a workout guru I use these sneakers for everything. Basketball, running, walking, Zumba... everything. They're so comfy and have a great sporty look. They could use beefing up the quality just a bit but, I've also worn the crap out of them so... I'll gladly buy them again!

Love the look and feel of these shoes BUT I didn't heed the recommendation to go up a half size! So, I will be exchanging these!

The shoe itself felt comfortable, but run small. I normally wear a 8.5 in most shoes. I sized up to a 9 and my toes were at the end. I am sending back to try a 9.5.

Very good quality

I teach Zumba classes and do some line dancing and find these shoes great for those activities. They are light weight, allow a little spin but still retain a bit of traction. If you want to do double (or triple!) turns, you will need to get a true dance sneaker. Also, there is room for my orthodic inserts.

love the arch support in the shoe, but you defintely order a side larger

These shoes are super light weight and fit like a glove, perfect to dance in. It has moderate arch support but maybe not enough for someone with flat feet to get total support - really depends on preference.I love that the heels have gel-like support that you can really feel when you are standing in them and bouncing around - perfect to absorb all that impact. They are well ventilated so feet don't get too sweaty as well.

Found my new walking shoe!

These shoes were extremely comfortable and lightweight when doing a Zumba class. Sometimes on a sneaker the tongue and collar are really thin and can dig into the front of your ankle, especially if your foot is moving all around inside of the shoe. The Ryka Grafik has a padded tongue and collar that allowed plenty of comfort when my foot/ankle/leg was leaning forward in the shoe (like lunging or flexing my foot). The top of shoe also feels like you are wearing a sock, which allows plenty of flexibility in the shoe. Overall this shoe was a great shoe to dance and move in, my feet were comfortable and supported the whole time, and I would recommend it to anyone.

I really love these shoes! They are perfect for Zumba. Previously, I would wear my regular Brooks running/gym shoes for Zumba and my feet would always hurt so bad. I went to a Zumba class with these shoes AND I'm pregnant and my feet felt great. They have the perfect amount of traction and flexibility. They are also super cute, which is a plus! I'd definitely recommend these.

Very lightweight, good ankle support, good grip, breathable material. I wear a 7 Medium and I could have easily went down a half size to a 6.5 and the shoes would have fit perfectly.

These were extremely comfortable and did not cause me any problems, even while doing an intense class on the first wear. There is no "break in" period needed. If you are switching from another athletic shoe to these "dance" shoes, be aware that they feel like you are wearing a ballet flat vs a running shoe. Much less spring but also more control.

Love the fit and the light weight of these shoes. I wore them throughout the hour-long workout, and my feet felt great without ever worrying about breaking them in first. I have had other Ryka shoes but can rarely find them any place other than on line. Zappos offers such a large selection their site is always my first choice.

I got these for Zumba after trying a few other sneakers. These are great! I'm a size 10 in a regular shoe, but went with a 10.5 in this sneaker because my toes were just too close to the front in a 10. There's not much arch support, but it's so flexible and great for all the moving around in zumba.

This is the best shoe I have found for my diabetic feet that require orthotics. These are stylish and fun. I have 3 pairs!!

Love my new Rykas! Great service from Zappos, as always. Thanks for the coupon too!

This is the 2nd pair of Ryka tennis shoes I've bought. I got these to use in the gym. They are very lightweight and breathable.
