Customer Reviews Ryka Grafik

I loved the way this shoe felt walking around. If I just needed an everyday shoe, or a cross trainer this would have been great! I've been looking for the perfect Zumba shoe, and this one didn't do it. My foot felt very tired after trying this shoe.

I've tried many shoes for Zumba classes: cross trainers (bad for the knees, no pivot in the sole), dance sneakers (no arch support and blew out after a couple months). My most recent had little sole cushion, but good pivot. These shoes are just in the middle of all of that. Decent support, a good sole to pivot enough lateral support, but the upper is soft and comfy. And they are cute!

These Zumba shoes have very little support, so I am sending them back.

These shoes are marked on the box US 10 and European size 40. I expect the 40 is correct, but that doesn't correspond to US 10. This is the second pair of Ryka shoes that I've ordered which are inaccurately sized. I'm giving up on this brand.

Looking for shoes for Zumba which slide like Blochs but have more padding. Ordered Ryka Grafik, Influence and Incluence 2.5 based on customer comments. Ordered 1/2 size larger than my standard size. They fit fine but all are being returned because they grip the floor, which kills my knees. Need to be able to slide. So overall, it's a good product. Just not for the function desired.

Felt narrow and too small so these are going back. Very cute though.

This shoe did not work well for me. The top of my feet would hurt and feel numb after wearing them for a short while, even with the laces loosened all the way. I own several different styles and brands of athletic shoes, and I have never experienced this with any of my other shoes. I gave them to a friend, and they fit her foot structure well and she likes them.

I wear a 10 in flats, sandals, and heels, but an 11 in sneakers. This particular style of Ryka is short on me in a size 11. My toe goes right up the the very end. Other styles work for me and I love Ryka in general, I just wish their sizing was more consistent.

After wearing these a few times they just didn't fit properly. I have very narrow feet and a high arch and they were too wide and didn't have enough support. Also, one shoe felt bigger than the other, which never happens to me!

Tried Shoes in a Zumba class I usually wear an size 8 they were a little snug and my toes hit the tip of the shoe I would say go up a 1/2 an inch should of gotten 8 1/2. Overall very easy to move on the floor,pivot,slide and turn around in, also very light weight.

I'm keeping these because I already wore them so I can't return but I am not as thrilled as I had hoped. I have narrow feet and these feel big and small all at the same time. They are really light weight which I love, I just wish they fit my foot better.

This is supposed to be a good Zumba shoe...but it wasn't for me. The shoe has a lot of cushion and it has a wide toe box, but but it lacks support for lateral movements. My arches hurt after 15 minutes of class.

These are great for walking but not great for Zumba or aerobics. They also ripped after the first wear. They felt great when I tried them on but as soon as I started dancing I noticed that they are not great for lateral movement. I felt like there wasn't enough support in the front of the shoe and my foot was sliding around. Pros are that there is good arch support and they are cute.

I both teach and take multiple Zumba classes a week. I have an extremely high arch and have to put additional insoles in all my shoes so I can't really speak to "normal" arch support. The first few weeks I had these shoes I loved them. They do offer a little extra room in the toe which works for me because of all my extra insoles! However, I found that they stretched out pretty quickly and no longer provided much lateral support.

In my opinion I would like some more cushioning. They aren't bad. But I know they will only last a couple of months. As for support and floor movement they are fine and the spin spot works well.

I loved the color of this shoe BUT the tongue was too long and stuck up after lacing. I opted for a different shoe.

Ive tried 3 different pair and of Ryka shoe size now and not one has worked for me. They are either to large in the toe bed or to narrow. I purchased these hoping they would be different and my foot was slipping all over inside them especially during lateral movements.

I was so disappointed in these shoes. I purchased these thinking that they would be great for a trip. Took them on a trip and ended up limping since they were hard on my feet.

Bought these since they are designed for Zumba, but after the first time I wore them I had to go buy some new gel inserts because they literally have no arch support. If you do any kind of impact in Zumba this is not your shoe. Had I saved the insert I threw away, I would have returned them. Next time I will know better. I normally have good luck with Ryka but not these.

I previously ordered these shoes 6 months ago, loved them and now need to replace them. My new shoes just arrived and they are cut narrower than my last pair and don't work for my wide toes. I'm very disappointed.

I purchased these sneakers for Zumba, and they could not be more unsuited. I am an istructor, and teach/dance aggressively with lots of strong side to side pressure. There is no where near adequate support for side to side movement. They are cute and comfy for average wear, but that's about it. They are true to size, and the sole/tread is good. A little slippery on wood flooring. Overall, nice to wear if support isn't an issue.

These shoes are very lightweight. Unfortunately they do not have much of an arch support. They also seem to run small. I ended up returning them and ordering a different style of Rykas.

I liked these shoes a lot in theory, and for the first month or so I wore them. I wore them to Zumba (twice a week) and BodyJam (also twice a week) - only in the gym, never outside - and they developed a hole in the toe after six weeks. These are my first pair from Ryka and I'm hesitant to try them again. Upside? Zappos customer service remains phenomenal.

Purchased & tried on -- will be sending back. This shoe is very unstructured. The upper is soft and flexible (too flexible) kind of like a thick sock. Overall the effect for me was mushy. That said, I obviously prefer a structured show, so if you have different tastes maybe this shoe will be a good match for you.

I wear a 7.5 in the original Merrell Barefoot Pace Glove and found that the 7.5 in this shoe was just a tad bit longer, but not enough to say it runs large. What really bothers me is the width in the toe box, which surprised me. My feet are swimming and I would have to wear really bulky socks to make these shoes work. I have fairly wide feet, so I never thought I'd say that a shoe is too wide. The heel also slides off and I don't feel confident that these shoes could comfortably handle workouts. I tried the 7 as well, but it's too short...the toebox on the 7 is also a bit wide too. Have to move on and find something else.
