Customer Reviews Ryka Influence - deleted

These shoes work great for studio Zumba classes. The pivot makes turns and leg rotations easier (and safer). They aren't as cushy as I was hoping but it's not like my feet hurt after an hour long class. For sizing, note that I normally wear an 8.5 in Hokas but ordered a 9 in these.

I bought these to replace a pair of Influence I wore only for Zumba, which have lasted at least 4 years. The soles have become a little slick so I bought this new pair. The inner footbed seems less cushy, and the tongue is thinner than the old pair. I do like the pivot point feature for dance exercise, and how lightweight the Influence is.

I bought these as light walkers and dance exercise shoes. I bought two more pair after I tried these. Fit is good but differed with colors. Still comfortable but a little tighter and I have wide feet. Thankfully they broke in quickly.

Great shoe, a little more support would be great. Very nice looking.

As I get older, my feet hurt more and seem to have more issues with shoes. I work out 5-6 days a week and these offer great toe room and (seems like) good support. Slightly gappy around my ankle but I don't know that that's a problem.

While I like this pair in style, the padding is not as comfortable as the previous pair of Rykas that I bought.

This is the second pair of Ryk I have purchased. Some of the green rubber on the left shoe bottom started to peel off. So because I had to pay for shipping, I took my shoes to my shoe repair guy and he said that it will be ok. I will never buy online directly from Ryk.

These workout shoes are light weight and stylish. Fit well hugging the heel and plenty of room in the toe box area. Only problem is the support structure on the outside when jumping back for burpees or plank. The bend presses in to toes causing discomfort. Maybe when they break down in the crease a little it won't be as bad hopefully.

I loved them, but couldn't get the sizing right. I'm an 11 wide, the 11 was a bit too long, my heel slipped a bit. The 10 is too short. So sad because they are lightweight, super cute and have support for days.

Very comfortable but not quite what I was looking for. Excellent choice for going outside my usual brand of shoe.

This is the first time I bought shoes without trying before buying. I do cardio, weights and step workouts. I have worn them for a few workouts and they are comfortable. I do have a wide foot and high arch, so this is a good shoe for that, but the shoe is a little wide in the heel area. My foot tends to slip. I wear a thicker sock and that has helped. Maybe I could have gone without a wide, but didn't want to chance it. Overall, a good sturdy shoe and hopefully I can get a year out of them.

These shoes are great for dance exercise because they allow you to go sideways with ease. I've found that they are the best for dancing on carpet when that is the only option.

Lightweight shoe good for Zumba class. Better if there was more arch in the shoe

Extremely comfortable. However, for a wide width,this style doesnt seem to have as much room as my other style i wear. Love the bright color!

I like these sneakers. They're comfortable and lightweight. They do run large. I should have purchased a size 10 instead of my usual 10.5.

Lightweight and comfortable but I added an insert for extra support. They work well for my Jazzercise classes.
