Have to return these because the spin spot grabs. Needed to use for Zumba but the spin spot does not flow. Fit was great. Size larger than street shoes fit well.

I loved the style of these shoes and the color but the medium was too narrow for me and not enough cushion.

Did not feel that the quality was as good as it should be for this shoe with a reliable name.

I ordered two pair of Ryka, both in 9.5. This one--the Ryka Influence was too big. The Ryka Influence 2.5 in the same size was too small. Hmmm--first and probably last time I'll try Ryka. Good looking shoe, though.

The shoe has a comfortable inside sole; not as much cushion as i would have thought but it feels good. I have a flat foot and the arch didn't bother me. I usually wear a 11 but a 11.5 would fit much better, very short.

These were so stiff I have to return them. Had a wierd hard plastic feel. I have a different model shoe by this brand and ordered the same size but these fit small.

I have is these shoes for about a month. They are very comfortable and I have had no issues on that end. I bought these shoes for work. I work 40-50 hours a week and I am on my feet all day. There is no sitting, because there is nowhere to sit nor is there time for that. Some days I work 5 hours, others I work 11 - 14 hours a day. These shoes are already worn out. I wore them every other day with a different brand shoes (This other brand still look and feel brand new). Other than being worn out already, they are still comfortable and I no longer wear these shoes for work, I stuck with the other brand I was alternating with.

these are cute shoes but the sole is so squishy that it lacks support. The arch support is a bit void, but with a different insole (insoles removable, yeah!) that helped a bit. I just could tell my feet where 'tired and achey' trying to 'balance'. I get the idea but I think there needs to be more full foot support. I like the idea of Ryka for women but my feet a little more snug-ness and platform support.

I really like the way these shoes look. They are likely great for lots of people. Unfortunately they didn't work out well for me. The width in the toe box is ample, however they feel narrow in the arch (there is a ton of support if you need it). They felt fine until I actually used them. After Zumba I couldn't wait to get them off. I'll give them another go (or two) but don't have high hopes.

I received a complimentary shoe and was excited to try them out, I even purchased an extra pair of a different style. I am new to this product and am wearing my new shoes only twice a week and I feel that I am not ready to truly comment on the feel and wear of the shoe. I have received a lot of compliments on the look (cool colors) of the shoe. Thank you for asking.

They've updated the shoe and the top material that encloses your foot is not thick enough or not supportive enough compared to prior versions of the shoe the older versions it's very light and very loose and that doesn't really help when you're dancing and your foot is going all over the place with all the lateral movement up-and-down movement turns we need a more secure top or more secure top material You need to bring it back like the older versions come on ryka don't cheap out!

I have owned a pair of Ryka's previously and really liked the look of this sneaker. I tried it on and it looked great. I like that Rykas fit a little more narrow than the traditional sneaker. The moment I went to walk, I noticed the top toe box material began to push down into my toes, making it very uncomfortable. I have never had this happen with a pair of sneakers before. I returned them promptly.

This latest version of the influence is nowhere near as good as the older version your foot flops around inside the shoe because the outside material they’ve chosen is cheaper and thinner in this latest version so I can’t really hold your foot in place as well as the older versions my recommendation don’t get it make them bring it back like they used to

I work in health care and am on my feet all day. Having a good fitting shoe is paramount. Unfortunately, these are not that. My feet hurt by the end of the first day I wore them. I have tried to way them a couple more times but my back always hurts and feet hurt. I do not recommend these for people who need a serious shoe.

These shoes look great, and I bet they would be comfortable. But they run small. I wear a 10 in most shoes, a 10.5 in athletic shoes. My toe is righr at the tip in these, and uncomfortably so. I'm returning them, though I may reorder in an 11.

I purchased these shoes because of their high reviews; however, I much prefer my Devotion XTs. It seems that Ryka has cheapened their shoes - in particular the tongue on the Influence shoes was very thin and doesn't extend very far out of the laces. I've worn Rykas for Jazzercise for years; the last two pairs I've purchased were the Devotion XTs - I'll stick with those next time I'm in need of a new pair of shoes and hopefully they'll be of the same quality as the last two pairs. I hope that cheapening the quality isn't the trend with Rykas in future shoes!

With Ryka Influence, you really feel the floor under your feet with all the jumping around in Jazzercize. The Devotion XT is much better, has a lot more bounce to it.

This would have been second pair of Ryka Influence. But on a whim I ordered another style. I was so happy I did so, this Influence does not fit as comfortably in the toe area as my last pair. I was really surprised. And a little disappointed. But maybe there is a reason they did so, or maybe my foot got wider. Yikes!

Very nice shoes that didn't work for me. My forefoot is squareish. These shoes have a forefoot which is steeply triangular. My smaller toes were pinched.

Nice looking shoe. Left shoe fitted well and the right shoe was marked medium but fittd like a wide width.

I really wanted to love these shoes, I have been looking for a good shoe for cardio/dance type workouts that came in a wide width. They sounded perfect but seem to be rather tight in toe box, as I am getting a painful corn between two last toes. They do not do well on carpeted surface either, which is what I have to workout on. I wish you carried more trainers in wider widths in toe box to choose from.

My mom bought these and loves how comfortable they are but she said they are no different during Zumba than her regular tennis shoes. She mentioned returning them but is hoping they work better after being broken in

Got these shoes for Jazzercise. Really not enough support, especially in the toe area. Would probably be ok for just knocking around
