This is a really great shoe. Took about 2 days of wear to break in right. They are perfect now.
I can always depend on Ryka shoes for quality and style.

I love all of the pops of color and the new Ryka styles...but when it comes to superb support and comfort...The Devotion XT is the only way to go! I taught three classes Friday wearing this style and my feet were not fatigued at all...(can't say the same for my quads!)
So...if you are looking for a stylish but comfortable trainer that will stand up to multiple classes daily... search no further! #DEVOTIONXT

These shoes are comfortable right out of the box. I love the support in the sole and the feel is terrific on the elliptical and doing studio classes. Highly recommend.

It took me a while to find a supportive shoe with great cushioning. This style works for me. I wear the shoes 3x a week only for Jazzercise. The previous pair lasted about 5 months. Please continue to make it!

This is my second pair of Devotion XT! As a Jazzercise instructor teaching primarily high impact classes, these shoes are great! Light weight with so much cushion and support as well as the pivot point for our dance moves!

I love everything about this shoe for teaching Jazzercise! The cushioning - especially on the ball of the foot for all of the jumping moves, the lateral stability for the side to side moves, and the overall fit that's not too snug but the shoe doesn't shift on my foot as I dance.

My Devotion XT arrived last week and I couldn't wait to try them out! This was my first pair of athletic shoes that I didn't need to put the orthotics in. These shoes were so lightweight and breathable that my workout lasted 90 minutes instead of 60. And I was all over the gym with lots of starting and stopping activity. They were so comfortable! I would definitely recommend. I cannot wait to wear them on workout nights!

I love the fit, the padding in the shoe is great for high impact classes. Enough support for all the side to side movements as well. Highly recommend.

I've had trouble with aches and pains in my feet and hips in recent years.
These shoes seem to help both problems.
The pivot point in the ball of the shoe seems to make it somewhat less likely that I'll tweak the bursitis in my hip (which doesn't like it when I make certain sudden stop, pivoting, twisting motions). Not a perfect solution, since other things do influence the situation, but the shoes definitely seem to help.
The shoes also cushion my feet so that even though I'm prone to plantar fasciitis, these shoes don't make trouble. (Maintaining strength and flexibility from the tips of my toes to the top of my head seems to help the PF the most, FYI.)
Yes, they're not very elegant, and they do tend to make more noise when I'm walking than some other shoes do (they squeak because they grip the floor), but I can live with that.
The laces in this shoe make for a solid fit to the foot. The Ryka Devotion with Cinch relies on elastic and velcro, which makes for a more relaxed fit to the foot, and has a bit more give. The two styles are apparently identical except for the way they fasten. The ones with the elastic/velcro are fine, most of the time, back and forth to the grocery, etc., but when I truly need to have a solid shoe, the Devotion XT with laces is a better choice.
I'd also recommend:

I needed a well cushioned shoe to wear for Jazzercise and this model is exactly what I was hoping for. I have wide feet with a bunion on one foot and a heel spur on the other and had been experiencing pain in my knees and feet with the Ryka Influence 2.5. Once I started wearing these the pain started dissipating and after four weeks the pain has almost completely resolved. I?m so happy I bought six additional pairs of the Devotion XT to ensure I?ll have them for a long time. They?re perfect for Jazzercise and Zumba because of the pivot point and have good lateral movement. Because of all of the extra cushioning, they?re a little heavier than the Influence 2.5, but I don?t even notice it in class. This is a great shoe for people who need a D width!

I'm a group fitness instructor and these shoes are what I've been looking for the past couple years. I have spent alot of money on shoes trying to get the comfort this shoe gives me for half the price. Ryka had a display at our exercise training and I tried this shoe on and feel in love. I bought two pairs that day. I do a lot of jumping and these shoes have the support my ankles need.

I got these sneakers for body pump class and also Zumba and court games like Tennis & Pickleball. I really like the fit and support I get for my Body Pump class and have not used them for the other activities yet, but I feel they have the support I need.
I did get running shoes a few weeks ago and the inner sole is not fitted properly. It's cut too small for the toe box and my feet hang over them inside. Strange and annoying.

This comfortable & well fitting shoe would have gotten 5 stars in all categories, except for the round shoelaces that seem to come untied all too easily.

Love, love, love these! Rykas are always a nice balance between being comfortable (with their wide toe box) and providing the needed support for all your active pursuits. Definitely recommend.

I would recommend this shoe for studio classes like kick boxing or cardio dance. The shoe has a circular disc on the sole that makes pivots and turns very easy. The shoe is well constructed with good support as well as cushioning that eases the impact of jumps.
I really like this shoe and would order a second pair!

These shoes are so comfy and cushy. Great support and amazing lateral movement and pivoting! Love these shoes so much. My feet are so happy now! My knees and hips feel better as well. Highly recommend these kicks!

Supportive, cushioning, I can jump now and the shoe really helps me spring up and absorbs the shock on landing. Smooth pivot toe points and great traction for non-skid performance, when doing core balance routines and on one leg, the supporting leg and foot do not cramp or burn when you are doing many reps. I have to say hands down the best shoe for me!
