It's my first time trying Ryka and this shoe fits very well! I usually need to "Break-in" a new pair of shoes but not so with this one. This shoe looks good, doesn't make my size 7-1/2 feet look any bigger. I can't wait to use it for Zumba!

I was pretty impressed with these shoes. I ordered up a half size and it was perfect. The arch inside seemed a little high, but only in one shoe, so maybe I have a weird foot. Overall, impressed!

I needed a new pair of exercise shoes. This shoe really appealed to me (I ordered the slate gray/purple). I have worn Rya's in the past and have always gotten a half size bigger. This time, for some reason, they were too big and I had to return them. I am going to order this same shoe in my normal shoe size and hope that works.
I'd also recommend:
No other brands recommended as I really like Ryka.

This is my first pair of Ryka and I love these shoes! They were true to size and are very comfortable for walking and cross training. I've had both my hips replaced so shoes are very important and these are great. I highly recommend.

I bought my first pair of Ryka at a fitness conference in 2007 and have never bought another brand since. I am a group exercise instructor and personal trainer so I always purchase the studio category - but have also gotten the thongs and the winter bootie.
Ryka is consistently comfortable, supportive, and attractive. I recommend this brand to every woman who asks about a good fitness shoe.

This is my 6th pair of RYKA shoes. I have to have arch support and cushioned insoles or my feet continually ache. RYKA never fails in those departments. The Rezorb soles are fantastic too. Worth every penny paid.

I have worn Ryka shoes for years for my Zumba and other exercise classes. I was really thrilled to discover Ryka is finally including a WIDE width! Three cheers! These shoes fit fine, but something just wasn't right about the footbed--my foot felt a little sore after wearing them. Now I realize they do not have the anatomical footbed insert. That has been in all my old Rykas. Alas, I kept these and used them, but now for future reference, will only get the shoes with that special insole. Don't like the memory foam ones, either.
Now, if Ryka could make a walking shoe that comes in wide and has the special insole--and doe not have the cooling mesh fabric, wow, that would make my day. For cold weather walking in New England, those mesh shoes are just too cool!
Also, selling replacement insoles would be great, too!

I ordered up a half size & that was perfect. Very cushy insole, excellent heel support. My very slight issue is with the mint colored material on the outsole, around the edge of the shoe. It is shiny & slick, almost caused me to slip while doing a side plank.

I spend about 2-2.5hrs/day, 5 days a week, in Zumba or fitness classes. I needed a better shoe. The Influence 2.5 was recommended by an instructor. I bought the Influence 2.5 one half size bigger but after about a week of use, I developed severe metatarsalgia in my right foot due to a Morton's toe. Podiatrist said I needed a wider and longer shoe. So I ordered several pairs of the the Influence 2.5 and several pairs of the Devotion XT in several sizes and widths. The Devotion XT has much more cushioning in the sole than the Influence 2.5. I ended up keeping the Devotion XT in a size 9 W (I have never bought a Wide shoe before. I usually buy 8M shoes.) and returned the others. I removed the insole that it came with and replaced it with one designed for metatarsalgia. The cushioning in the sole and the wider toe box were exactly what I needed. I have been wearing this shoe for about 3 weeks with no more foot problems. My metatarsalgia is now gone.

The other Ryka's I had did nor hold together very well in the toe area. Really didn't buy the right thing at the time. However, my news shoes over so much support. I am in an erobic and strength class for older people - low impact but hard work still. They give me somuch support. Love them!

Very comfortable. I like the extra width in front. Still needed to add an arch support, but I have to for all my shoes. Looks great. My first test of the shoe was walking all afternoon and it held up well. Very happy.

I participate in Jazzercise so need flexibility but support. These shoes are perfect. They fit great and provide just enough support without stiffness to allow for dance movement. Just wish they came in a greater variety of color options.

I've tried a lot of different shoes and always come back to this one. It has the best forefoot cushioning. The style is sort of old school and I'm not usually a fan of the colors it comes in. The shoe feels good on my feet so I can over looks these issues.

This is my third pair of Ryka's Devotion XT - I'm totally devoted to them. Great fit, comfortable and tough for my daily high impact aerobic classes.

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!

Lightweight, shock-absorbing shoe with plenty of toe room. Runs wider which works for me. And the style minimizes larger feet!

I love my Ryka shoes. I do a Body Box class three times a week and these shoes are perfect for this class. The instructor of the class recommended these.

This shoe rrquired no break-in period. Comfort and support from the start. I wear these at Jazzercise and they get the job done. Thanks to Jazzercise, I learned about Ryka many years ago. Even though there have been design changes throughout the years, Ryka can be depended on for great service and quality shoes.
