Customer Reviews Ryka Influence - deleted

These shoes work nicely, look great, and feel fine. As a YMCA member, I often workout there, however, but in a minimalist way I like one pair of shoes per workout and also walking to & from the car involves passage thru rain or snow at times, so I prefer a waterproof workout shoe... I cannot use the dropdown buttons for gender and age etc down below on my iphone.

I have high arches and this shoe feels really supportive, for both my arches as well as for lateral support. they are very stylish, lightweight and slide well on the floor. My most favorite shoes so far - I have been wearing the old Ryka Musique shoes but these feel more supportive.

I loved these shoes just had to order them a half a size bigger. I thought they were really comfortable and I can't wait to wear them to jazzercise.

So not disappointed with another great Ryka shoe. Design is really cool and shoes feel great immediately. Will be looking to get this shoe in other coolers!!

I'm a dedicated Influence user. I love this shoe. However, in all honesty, I need to disclose that I have had some of my customers and associates who don't like this shoe as much. For them, the main complaint has been "not enough cushion". For me, with my average arches and dance use, I love them. If they had more cushion, I think it would just be icing on the cake of a great shoe.

Out of all the Ryka's I have purchased and there have been many, these are the most comfortable. I really like the wider toe bed. It helps my feet breath!

This is an excellent shoe! I have one in every color (with the new color on it's way to me now!) and I wear them every day to teach Jazzercise. I recommend these to all of my customers, since they have great support, a wide enough toe-box (even the M) for expanding on impact, and the pivot point on the bottom for ease in turning. I love this shoe!

This shoe is very comfortable. I love it. I would recommend to anyone to purchase for Jazzercise or any dance type training.

I have been a Jazzercise instructor for 8 years, and wearing Ryka's all 8 years. The Influence has been the best support for pronation and keeps me from achy feet and turned ankles.

These are really comfortable shoes for jazzercise. I love Ryka shoes but these have been some of my favorites.

Absolutely love this shoe! !!! Perfect for my Zumba classes

I just recently got these shoes. I teach Jazzercise and I love them so far. They are stylish...LOVE the bright colors and they are really light weight. I like how they are wide and allow your foot to move a bit in the shoe. The pivot point on these shoes is excellent as well.

I enjoy many types of exercise so I have walking/running shoes and studio shoes. This is my fourth pair of Ryka shoes and I like them the most. They are very stylish and very comfortable.

I just got these as a gift, and they are great for Jazzercise class. They have good support and they are comfortable to wear. I have a narrow foot, so a medium is slightly wide.

I have had many pairs of cross-training shoes. They have protected my knees from injury for years now.

Finally found the perfect shoe for Jazzercise! This shoe is very lightweight but supportive.

As a tennis player, I wish that the soles would last longer. The pivot point gets worn out very quickly. Also, your laces can be a bit longer.

Toe box was snug to begin with, but it has gotten better. VERY stable for weight lifting, these are a huge improvement as I was wearing Hoka's to the gym.

Great shoes for all types of workouts. Run slightly small - I had to order 1/2 size larger.

Very comfortable to dance, good fit and sole support

I have been going to Zumba classes twice a week for a few months and I decided to get shoes made for dance aerobic classes. The main things I wanted were a wide width show with good cushioning and a pivot point. I got that and more. I was pleasantly surprised while wearing them for the first time to class how light they were in comparison to my normal Brooks tennis shoes. I feel lighter on my feet now and sliding and turning on the floor is much easier now too. My only issue is that I wear a 11.5 wide in workout shoes and I had to order a size 12 since this shoe doesn't come in a size 11.5. It's not that much bigger though than what I normally wear and it hasn't affected my workouts. Due to the size this also meant that I only had one color choice at the time of my purchase. I hope to have more color options in the future. I have only worn Brooks or New Balance tennis shoes for the past ten years (need the support and cushioning), but I'm glad I tried these.

Great shoe design, not too heavy or boot-like. Would be better in all leather. The weather here is a long cold and wet season. Not great with fabric that gets wet. Still like white.

Like the shoes for exercising. They seem comfortable so far

I like that the shoe is light weight and has good support. I did add a cushion liner

Great shoe for dance fitness (I teach Zumba 4x/week). Love the colors. Moves well with my feet and are responsive in any direction. Very flexible sole, just wish it had a bit more cushion for my comfort (I have very sensitive feet). Overall a great shoe.
