Customer Reviews Ryka Influence 2.5

Love these shoes, especially how they hug the heel, usually do not purchase an unknown product on-line but these fit well. They live up to their claims.

I've been trying different shoes since I just started Zumba teacher training and will be wearing the shoes for many hours of dance fitness. These are one of the most comfortable for this purpose. I have tried other Ryka shoes and learned to order a 1/2 size up, they are a tad to wide for my foot but I just pull the strings a little tighter. Overall it's very comfortable, moving and turning are easy in these shoes. So far they work well on carpet. Still have to try the wood gym floor but pretty sure they will be fine.

I am a Jazzercise instructor....this is my first pair of the Influence2.5 and I was nicely surprised at the extra bounce from the forefoot cushioning....it's really nice on those harder aerobic routines! The width at the outside of the foot is really nice, even on the Medium width....nice room in the toebox. I'm going to stick with these for awhile! Best shoe I've found for Jazzercise so far.....

I have participated in several Zumba classes, but did not get the full benefit until I found the right shoes. This shoe is the right one!!!

I have severe over pronation. I bought a different Ryka shoe but the sides were of flexible materials. This seems to be better and is giving me more support. I wish you had more choices that addressed arch support.

I love this shoe for the multi-training aerobics - like Insanity, P90X, and all those other awesome classes that do more than just the typical running motion. This shoe provides the support and stability I need for the many directions and impact locations of aerobics. Perfect!!

Great for the lateral movements in Jazzercise, very supportive and flexible

Lve this shoe. Has good arch and heel support. Roomy toe for my bunion. Light weight excellent for dance jazz classes. Stylish too!

I have been buying the Influence style for a couple of years now. This 2.5 is even better! Lighter, with more breathability (is that a word?). They fit the same as my other Ryka shoes so if you have been successful with your fit, order the same size as before. I am a fitness instructor and very hard on my shoes. Have to replace them every 4-6 months. I will be buying this style again. Love the color but also hope they come out with some additional colors to spice up my workout wardrobe. Thanks, Ryka!

Shoes are super cute. But all the reviews said they run small. I usually wear a 6.5 or a 7. So I just ordered a 7 and the length is fine but the toe width is super wide. My feet have a ton of wiggle room at the top. They seem to be ok though and not rubbing blisters so I didn't want to go through the trouble of returning, but I wish I had the 6.5.

Great shoe for classes where moving quick is important!

I absolutely love this shoe! I teach group exercise classes and need a trainer. I ended up giving the ones I bought to my step-daughter tho as they were a half size too small. :(

Love these shoes Great fit !!! Love the color My daughter bought a pair also !!!

This is the third pair of shoes I have bought to wear doing the WERQ classes I attend. I have to look no further. The shoe is light weight and the sole gives me the freedom of movement without sticking on the gym floor. Very happy I finally found a shoe that works.

These shoes are so light and comfortable. They offer the support I need without making my feet feel tight in the shoe, if that makes any sense. Also a very nice looking shoe.

This shoe is great for aerobic dance fitness. Great for those that need more arch support and side to side movements. The pivot point is a bonus!

These shoes fit great in every way except they are just a bit to short for a size 8. My toes are a bit squashed in them. Normally a size 8 fits perfectly
