Customer Reviews Ryka Devotion XT Mid

Not only is this fun...but you get this fun style with all the great support and benefits one expects from the award winning XT! I am a Jazzercise Fitness Professional and teach 12-14 Jazzercise classes a week... a good shoe is a must!

I have been wearing these shoes to Jazzercise. I love this lightweight shoe. Makes it easy to dance around:)

These two pairs of Ryka shoes I've owned are very comfortable, flexible, versatile and stylish. I work out boxing, circuit training and yoga Pilate's. These shoes are perfect as they are flexible in the soul. I am always being complimented on my shoes.

You have to get a 1/2 size bigger. Very lightweight. Great for walking.

Love the color but the comfort is even better! I do lots of high impact activities so these are great.

I did not know they came with strap. I thought I was ordering same model as the one's I already had for a few years. Getting use to them slowly.

I have purchased this shoe in all colors it comes in. It is hard to find mid top exercise shoes. The one drawback, is either the design or the fabric, it splits on both sides of the shoe and any place there is stress. I love the shoes, but they need to change something.

This is a well padded high top with a thick sole good for bouncing. The long laces are cumbersome and no instructions on how to tie them. A friend in my aerobics class returned a pair because of the lacing issue.

I have all of these and just love them. Love the ankle support. I have noticed they try to pull apart ob the side at the toe where the two pieces meet. I did Gorilla glue mine and it is holding. Wish they still lad the blue/pink pair available. Will buy again for sure.

I've been thinking about a pair of shoes for Zumba for several years. I'm not sure why it took me so long to act on that. I wore these shoes for the first time today and, I loved them. Just enough support around the ankle. Nice padding throughout the shoe. They moved well on the gym floor. Might give them a 5 after a few more workouts.

First of many of my purchases I've been satisfied with fit & performances.

Have been using this sneaker for Zumba for a few years now. I go to 4 classes a week and they seem to hold up quite well. Can move, jump, slide, shuffle, pivot...all the usual steps. The ankle support is just enough. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because I still long for the old style Ryka high top that had the strap across the instep that was basically perfect.

Pivot point and cute design. A little wide, and hot. Needs a little more support on the lower ankle, but the upper ankle is super comfy. Maybe one more level of lacing holes below the Velcro.

Comfortable but are a bit too big. They feel lile they are 1/2 size too big. I do like them though and will just wear heavier socks if it bothers me. I would return for next size down but dont know if they would be too small.

Very cute, and comfortable shoes. They work perfectly to do a lot of walking in, and didn't need much work to break them in.

There are so many good things about this shoe! I'm a Zumba instructor, and it is hard to find shoes that work for Zumba. This is one of the few. Love the colors, the cushioning and fit, the mid- top. The difference from Ryka's previous model it the shoe laces don't come all the way up, which allows the tongue to shift to side. Also the Velcro used to be across the forefoot, so you could put the lace loops down and then Velcro them so they don't move or untie. It's just a little weird to pull the laces up to the Velcro, and I need the laces tighter at the top. But would buy again, because there are not a lot of options on the market. Need more colors!

Love the ankle support but I find the laces thin & hard to tighten

These are very supportive and comfortable shoes! I got them to prepare for returning to a fairly intense dance class after a knee injury. They work fine in my simple practice prep videos. I have yet to find out if they pivot well enough for the class, but the instructor wears these! My reason for four stars is because the shoes are a little wide for me. Regular width in most shoes works perfectly for me. But I find sneakers and hiking shoes or boots always run wide. I have to lace up very tightly which means I have laces dragging on the ground... RYKA, please offer shoes in narrow! I am disappointed that you offer shoes in wide while not offering narrow widths. I am surely not alone in having narrow-ish feet and mine aren't even that narrow! Please include all women's sizes!

I'm only rating this Slate Grey color 4 stars, not the other colors -- it honestly does not feel the same as the Black/Mint color! It's firmer underfoot and feels like a whole different cushion that's not like Rezorb. Weird! I've worn the black one two different years, so I wanted to try the cute grey color. I returned this one & got another pair of black/mint.

These shoes were very comfortable the first day I put them on. They offer great support for exercise class. The back behind the heel is different and takes a little getting used to, but I love these shoes!

They're the only mid top shoes suitable for aerobics, so that's why I bought them. It takes a little while to get used to the way they fasten, but it does make them easy on/off, so that's good. Sole is pretty comfy, but not sure they're the highest quality; after a while, little bits of rubber start to fall off. But I do appreciate that Ryka still makes a mid top.
