Customer Reviews Ryka Influence 2.5

Tried the size 9 which is my true size but my toes hit the front of the shoe. Returned for size10 (9.5 not available) but the fit is off. Too bad, show is cute.

I bought these shoes because a reviewer said they were smooth and seamless on the inside and I have very sensitive feet, prone to blisters. I wore them sitting in the car for several hours and walked probably about a city block and got a blister from the seam that passes over the next to the little toe. The seams inside are not smooth, they are soft but feel ragged and unfinished. They are not smooth inside, they have ragged seams inside. I am returning them.

I need to replace my Ryka Influence, but could not find my size here. I decided to give Influence 2.5 a try, the longer tongue was a bit odd.

I’m on a never ending quest to find comfortable training shoes for my high arches. So far only Ryka dynamic fit the bill. Ryka influence has less arch support but very comfortable wide toe box. Overall good shoes but I will stay with Ryka dynamic

Very pretty lightweight shoe, but little to no cushioning in ball of foot area, which I was looking for. I usually wear and 8.5 Wide, and ordered that size, but these didn't feel very wide. I would say order a half size larger.

Great looking shoe, but the fit is off. Correct size but there is no arch support and the outside of the shoe at the arch is hard and presses so that my foot wants to move away from the discomfort. I'm flat-footed and the lack of arch support plus pressure from a spot in the construction of the shoe that hits outside arch of my foot just makes this fit completely wrong for my feet.

I really like Ryka sneakers. They are comfortable and light, BUT the mesh makes them a little flimsy (and inapproprate for cold weather. Definitely ony 2-3 season sneaks.) I still have to buy a new pair every year.

I have an high instep and wide foot, so got an 8 1/2 W and perfect fit. Started working on my feet more, and felt pain in my arches, this helped a lot.

It was a bit wider than expected, but not a great problem because I have wide feet and added a cheap insole. Fits perfectly and is comfortable.

I bought these for Zumba. They are perfect, very comfortable.

I bought these shoes for Zumba which can be hard on feet. They are very comfortable. I bought a size above my normal which turned out correct to give my toes room. I purchased them based on other recommendations about their use for Zumba fitness and found them accurate

I always use this for Zumba. The grip and comfort is the best. I’ve used Nike, sketchers and other brands, but this works the best for me by far. I’m normally a size 5 on sandals, but I order a size 6 to make room for thicker socks for extra cushion. Shoes is wide enough to leave a lot of room so my toes doesn’t pinch.

Great fit right out of the box. I have a back injury that has left my right foot sensitive and tends to inflame. I wore these while doing kick boxing, floor cardio and strength training and the shoe never pinched or felt uncomfortable. Great toe box room and awesome padding. I Love them! Highly recommend for someone with feet or back issues and has sensitivity issues. Thank you Ryka!

these are great for Zumba! I purchased the grey and the black :) need to wear a good athletic sock with them as they were spacious for me, but work perfectly with a good sock

It’s comfy and cutesy

These run small. I ordered size 7, which is what I wear in Nike sneakers, and they were too tight. So I got these in 7.5. It took a few times because Zappos sent me the wrong size twice and so when I finally got these it was very exciting. They are really comfortable for Zumba, and the best thing is that the laces don't come untied (Nikes ALWAYS come untied if I don't make a double knot).

I normally wear a size 10 but always have to size up to an 11 for Ryka sneakers. In spite of that, I love this shoe. It's great for most gym activities, including Zumba.

These are such great shoes. Just kicked up my dancing a notch! Love the support, spring and ability to fly across the floor due to the special sole.

I'm a former ballet dancer, but now take only zumba and aerobic dance classes due to injuries. I have been dancing in Capezio and Bloch dance sneakers which have split soles, but my PT suggested that I try stiffer shoes for added ankle support. The Rykas did seem to provide more support, but I knew immediately that their non-slip treads would not be good for spins and pirouettes--this is the same reason I can't dance in running shoes. To save my knees I returned the Rykas and will stick with the dance sneakers, using stiff insole inserts.
