I am a Ryka fan and have been for a number of years. I tend to like either Ryka's or Saucony and have loved Brooks in the past. I LOVE these Devotion XT's for working out inside on carpet. I have Ryka Ultimate's for treadmill jogs but the tread on those shoes was too much for HIIT or aerobic workouts on carpet. The Devotion XT's, however, are amazing for carpeted floor workouts...and I wish I had found them sooner. Will definitely repurchase when the need arises. Got the Navy/Pink which look super cute (although nobody will see them since I'm solely working out at home due to the pandemic)

Bought for Zumba class to help with pivoting and certain moves. My legs, knees, and ankles feel great. Sturdy, well made shoes, and very stylish. Now I'm dancing away and burning those calories!

I'm a group fitness trainer. I teach body sculpting and Zumba. This sneaker is perfect for both. Good shock absorption and support. I highly recommend it.

This pretty shoe was perfect from the first minute I tried it on. I have exercised and danced in it at home. It lets me move without getting a twisted knee. They will be perfect for Zumba if the gyms can ever open again.

I love teaching Zumba in my pretty Ryka studio shoe. So comfortable thank you. Prices are a little high for me since I do advertise you shoes to my students, and everywhere I teach.

I was was really surprised at how much comfort and support I had at my Zumba class with these shoes. They are light, yet give great heel support and grip the floor well.

I loved this workout shoe sooo much, I just ordered a second pair. I could tell a distinct difference first time I put them on and walked on the bare floor. My workouts include cardio, weights, loads of side, front and back steps, pivots, front and side kicks, balance, hopping and slides. These shoes have all the points to handle these movements with ease. Pivot points, arch support, heel and toe support is awesome. Can't say enough about these great shoes, especially the wide width, so glad I found them!

I am a RN that is on me feet several hours everyday. I also have a heel spur. The Devotion XT provides the right support to prevent the heel spur from hitting. When I walk I the heel spur irritation has decreased tremendously. I have tried other shoes but the heel padding is not in the correct position. Today, I decided to buy another pair.

This is my 3rd pair of Ryka shoes. I do Zumba 3-4 times per week and these shoes are the best. Good support, shoes don't stick or slip on the floor. Love these shoes!

I've been a Zumba instructor for four years and I have finally found the perfect shoe for me. I have battled plantar fasciitis and have flat, wide feet. I typically wear a custom insert but there's no need in these shoes. They are extremely supportive, even more than other Rykas I have previously worn. These are my forever Zumba shoe now!

I really like these shoes. They are very comfortable and supportive. I am returning them because the right shoe keeps pulling my sock down inside the shoe. I tried 3 different pairs of socks on 2 different days and my sock was pulled down inside the shoe. Left shoe did not do this. Do not know why. I am disappointed as I really like the shoes but too annoying having my sock disappear. I do plan to order another pair with hopes that it will be good. I have worn Ryka shoes for over 10 years.

These shoes replaced the influence ones for Zumba! These have better support and are more comfy. Love them!

Received the Devotion XT training shoe a week ago. I tried them for different types of training, weight training, core training, TRX and HIIT. They are supportive and have great cushioning. Lateral movements during HIIT are not as supported as they were with my other training shoes (Influence). May have to get a newer pair of Influence 2.5 to see if they are better for lateral support. But other than that, the Devotion is a great training shoe.

My only complaint with these shoes is that the right one eats my sock. Very annoying when I’m out walking or running!!!!

I didn't feel like they had enough arch support for all the jumping and bouncing I do in Zumba. I ended up loving Ryka Dedication instead.

Bought these for indoor fitness/cross-training because my other shoes have not held up for lateral movements. These shoes have a good amount of support on the sides, insoles fit in them fine, and they're cushioned without feeling mushy. They are more stiff than a lot of shoes out there, but they also seem less likely to rip. They are maybe *slightly* more snug in the toe than I want, but it also makes them better for fast movements. I have wide-ish feet and find then to fit fine, though I adjusted the laces to get the best fit possible. They look better as a shoe than they do in the pic.

I purchased the Devotion XT and Influence because they were both on sale. In comparing the two, the Devotion felt a little longer because my toes hit the front of the Influence shoe. Thought the arch support was a little better with the Devotion. Both are comfortable shoes. I wear these shoes when taking the dogs for long walks and moderate exercising. Got the Devotion in Navy and it's a nice color. Had these for a couple of weeks and cannot comment about other reviews regarding quality/durability.

I ordered these in my regular size of 8 1/2 and they felt a little short and I needed more arch support. Love the look and style but it was a no for my feet..I have several pair of Ryka shoes and all have been great but these. Usually Ryka has great support but something was not right in this one.

This is a second order for me. I originally ordered a size 9, which is what I wear in every shoe and sneaker I own. The nine was about a half a size too big, so I have since ordered the 8 1/2. This pair seems to fit better. I do still find them to be a little wide in the heel.

Fits great. Love the color. Really like them for Zumba because I can transition easily on the 'pivot point'. Needs more arch support however.
