Customer Reviews Ryka Influence - deleted

It has great support and pivoting, however the width of the shoe is a bit wider than I need. I think i'll be ordering the regular size to compare.

These are really cute shoes! I'm not sure if they provide the best support ever but I really like wearing them. They may be a bit too flexible for more sports, even dance and martial arts. I really like to wear them out and about though because they are so cute.

I wear orthotics and was worried that with the orthotics, the shoes would be too tight. However, once I realized I could remove the pads in the shoes and simply replace with the orthotics, problem solved. These are comfortable so much so that my bunions aren't screaming at me by the end of the day. This is my second pair of Ryka shoes. I believe I am hooked.

Great love my , I do Zumba and love the color , I totally recommend this gymshoes cant wait to try another style !

These shoes are great! I would really rate them a 4.5 if possible I am a dance instructor and first discovered the Influence about a year ago. I wore those out, so bought two more so I could change them out. Since my first pair, I tried the Influence 2 and it fits COMPLETELY different - too narrow in the toe box and not enough heel support. My foot is fairly wide with high arches and insteps. The only thing that I would change is a little bit more cushion in the ball of foot, but that's me being extremely picky since I jump a lot in class. :-) I bought some of these for my mom, too and she loves them in class as well.

Love the shoe and the feel. I need to return and get a 1/2 size larger, which is disappointing

I tried this show in Jazzercise last night. It was pretty comfortable, but I think I need to break them in a little more. They could have a little more support around the ankle.

A little wide for me, looking for a little more cushion for dance.

My previous Ryka shoes were size 8 1/2. I ordered the same size in this shoe, but I wish I would have ordered a 9. The larger size would allow for the cushioned socks that I like to wear. Now I must use thinner socks.

Loved my last pair so returned for another and am glad I did.

I am a trainer who does a lot of cross-training so I need a lightweight shoe that allows me to move quickly in all directions. These shoes allow me to do that. While they are comfortable they seem to be about a half size smaller than their marketed size. I'm not crazy about how they look, but a lot of my clients are complimentary! As long as they help me do my job, I'm good!

I love the Influence shoes. Comfortable and with great quality!

Several Jazzercise customers like this shoe and always order!

I like these shoes but they slip slightly on the heel. I wanted a wide width but they were unavailable so I ordered 1/2 size bigger which was OK except for the heel. The next size down also slipped on my heel but I want them for jazzercise and I like the pivot point on the sole.

I take Jazzercise classes, and I bought my first pair of Influence style shoe last year. This style has been one of the best I've worn so far for Jazzercise classes- good support, comfortable, and stylish. I just bought my second pair, and will likely buy again when I need new shoes.

This shoe has good support and style. I would recommend for aerobic instructors.

I love the look of the shoe. I wanted a black shoe, but not too clunky. My only complaint is that it does not have the super cushioned insole that my other Rykas have. I wear a 7 1/2 dress shoe, but always order an 8 workout shoe, and I would recommend ordering a 1/2 size larger than you would wear in a dress shoe.

I actually only got to wear these shoes once, then noticed one of the pink stripes on the side was already coming off. I ended up sending them back because of that, but I did like the shoes the one time that I did wear them. I gave them 4 stars because hopefully it was just a fluke that the pair that I received was defective. I may try another pair. Haven't decided.

The Influence is as close as I've come to a shoe that provides support and performance yet still fits my narrow foot. If it were just a bit narrower in the toe box it would be perfect.

Great shoe, lighter than expected with good support. Almost feels like a swim shoe, but so far it seems to be working well.

I have trouble finding shoes that fit me right because I have bunions. These fit great, look great, and support my feet.

This is my 3rd pair of these shoes. I love to dance up a sweat in the them!

I wanted a cute shoe to wear with my athletic wear on weekends and also to do my excercise videos in. For those purposes, they work fine. I also run and would not select this pair to run in. I don't feel they provide enough cushioning. In running shoes I always order one full size larger. I did the same with these and they are probably 1/2 size too large. I can still work with them to walk in. The style is super cute. This is my first pair of Rykas!

This is a great low impact shoe for me. Lateral support is good. I prefer the I nance for high impact. Both are good shoes.
