Customer Reviews Ryka Devotion XT

These shoes are very comfortable because they are made of very soft non-durable materials. The midsole (the light colored material between the black outer sole and the white inner sole) feels as soft as a toddler foot ball. I had so much hope the rotation point would make these my ideal zumba shoes, but that is made of that same cheap soft material. Why do shoe designers sacrifice durability and quality just to make a soft shoe without no break-in time? I will continue hunting for zumba shoes. These are going back.

to small to get to wear them.Only goes to size 11

I usually wear a 9 and both the 9 and 9.5 were too small. Also the wide width didn’t fit. I felt very unstable in the shoe. It’s like it didn’t go up high enough to provide any decent support. Returned them.

From a 7M I became and accepted that I am now a 7W. This particular 7W was narrow in the toe box.

I have been wearing walking/running shoes to Zumba and decided to give a dance fitness shoe a try. Some of the instructors have been saying that the walking/running shoes are actually dangerous to wear for Zumba because they are not made for pivoting or side to side motion. Makes sense. I have recently returned to exercise after a several year break. Back then, this type of fitness shoe didn't seem to be around or available. I wanted to like these shoes so much! But I don't. First off, it feels like the left shoe is higher up/more cushioned than the right shoe. I have high arches and there doesn't seem to be any arch support whatsoever, it feels very flat inside. And lastly, I feel completely unstable in these, as if I would roll my ankle. I will be returning these shoes.

These sneakers are garbage or I got a bad pair. This is a follow up review. I purchased 12/22/17, and they are already falling apart. See photo, sole is coming apart. I have NEVER had a sneaker fall apart so quickly (approx 2.5 months) and for $80 I expect better quality. I wear these 2- 3 x’s a week indoors only doing an hour long workout (treadmill, rower, weights). In addition to the sole peeling apart, I had to add an insole for arch support, and the heel area is too big, my foot slips out doing planks, mountain climber, etc...unless I wear very thick socks and tie them so tight I end up with a mark across my foot. It was my first try with Ryka and I can say never again. On the plus side they are very light weight and cushy.

The toe box and and width of the shoe are too tight. My width is normal/medium in all other athletic shoes. Ryka Shoes had solid reviews for cross training, so I ordered two types, this and the Ryka Dominion. Both were too tight, so I am guessing it is the brand that is narrow.
