I can't give this shoes 5 stars since they bother me at the top, under the shoelaces, it has too many stitches and folded parts and, if you leave the shoelaces too loose aren't comfortable.
O hope using them, the parts that bother me will flatten out and they be OK.

Very comfy shoes,great support... except 6 eyelets and when I walk, the bend is right at where my toes end. Think if there was only 5 eyelets the bend would be on the top on my foot instead of the bend of me toes. Still with that happening...great for zumba. Will try another style next time.

This is my first time trying Ryka shoes, and I bought these for Zumba. I have a wide toe box, and these were roomy enough without rubbing on my little toe. I normally wear a 9, but a 91/2 in running shoes, so I tried a 91/2 and there was plenty of room after my big toe to allow for swelling and balega running socks. The sole is slightly rigid, they are moderately cushioned, and there is a pivot spot to allow for quick pivoting in Zumba so as not to catch on floor and make you fall on your face. Nice shoe.

This was my first pair of Ryka shoes. I tried these for Zumba because my other shoes were too rubbery and I was getting stuck with those quick pivoting steps I'm trying to get the hang of. I wear a 9 but usually order 9.5 in running shoes to account for socks and swelling. I have plenty of room after the toe but not so much that they are too big. Pleasant surprise that the toe box is wide enough because that's usually my gripe with fitness shoes. But these were perfect -nothing rubs so far. They are a bit harder than running shoes of course, but still comfortable and adequate arch support for my high arches. Plus, the black with turquoise and white accents are cute - my feel look small in them. Lucky find on first try!

Fit is good with orthotics so am very happy. Did not buy for style as much as for decent support and Ryka reputation for fitting women's feet well.

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

First pair had to be returned becasue they were too short. I have other Devotion shoes and bought the same size, but no go! The new pair is fine. I have about 14 pairs of Ryka and find they have not been of the quality they were years ago. However, they are better than most other brands.

I like the shoes overall, but they are too wide, especially in the heel. I added a Spenco polysorb insole with the original insole, drilled loop lock holes for the laces and it still feels like my heel is going to slip out. Please please someone make a narrow aerobic shoe.

Excited to try Ryka for high impact aerobics. After trying different brands of Nike which I know better not to do but I did it anyway for the look I went for these records. If you’re doing any kind of high-impact aerobics I would recommend at least trying this brand. I have not physically done a class in them as I’m doing that next week because I just got them but they are so incredibly cushioned and I can’t imagine there being any trouble with lateral support . Once I wear them I will submit another review

This had some areas that felt stiff and I was concerned that during a workout the shoe would cause sores in my feet, so they went back. It is a nice looking shoe.

I love Ryka workout shoes and that is the only brand I bought for my daily jazzercise. I am so excited to see this new color however, I only gave 4 stars as it is not as comfortable as the Blue/hot pink color which is the same model only different color. I have all the colors of the Devotion XT training shoes, only the Blue/hot pink color is the best. The other colors are good, but not as the blue one made me like dancing on cloud while providing full support of my feet. I believe that is the reason only the Blue/hot pink color won the award.

Good shock absorption but not as well for lateral support. Teach Jazzercise so supported lateral movements are a must

Lightweight all purpose walking shoe. Fit and comfort as expected. Footbed not too hard, not too squishy.

This is the most comfortable shoe ever! I wear them all day and no problem with my feet. No pain. I have worn other tennis shoes and my feet are throbbing at the end of the day I can be on my feet all day and my feet are fine with this Ryka. My only complaint is they don't last. After wearing them only 3 months, I got holes on both right side. I wish the material was stronger and last longer. For the price, they should be better quality.

Although these shoes were a bit heavier than I thought they would be, I love how comfy they are and the great support while doing Refit.

The shoes suffice my cross training needs at this time. I am looking for something a little more supportive for my feet.

These shoes are a bit big, so I put an insert in from another pair of Rykas. Otherwise, they are fine.

I?ve worn Ryka shoes for years for bench stepping and floor aerobic classes. I like the cushion under the ball of my foot. Very comfortable

I really like the lightweight feel and flexibility of these shoes. For me personally I had to add an insole for extra arch support and cushioning.

Just purchased these shoes and the fit is good (thanks to an on-line printable sizing gauge), inner support seems good, and they look great. Having said that, they are still new and so only time will tell how well they wear. The seams on one shoe press in a bit on my left foot (by the pinkie toe at the widest part),and the outside soles seem thinner than previous (different brand) shoes that I'm used to, so I feel the floor through them a bit more. Otherwise, as I said, time will tell how well they wear.

I use these shoes for Jazzercise only. There is more give than I would like for side to side movements but overall I think that they will last for 100 classes before they have to be replaced

This sneaker is very wide in the heel, so much so that my heel slips up/out during some exercises (like running man planks) and walking. I have a true wide foot, wear wide in all shoes and sneakers, so purchased wide but definitely should have gotten regular width. Keeping because I didn't notice until wore outside to gym. On the plus size, super cushy, but I put an insole in for extra arch support.

I am a Devotion devotee (I'm on my 5th pair), so I thought I'd try the training version. They're great for pivoting and side to side, but the heel is wider than the original Devotion. They are also missing the top eyelet for the shoe lace so you can't snug them down like the original version. For me that means they allow a little slipping. I've worn them six times so far and they don't cause a blister, but the slipping is a little annoying. Not enough to send them back or stop wearing them though.
