  • Ryka Influence is my favorite shoe ever!
Size: 8.5 Color: Frost Grey/Rose/Pale Aqua
The Ryka Influence shoe fits like it was made for me personally! Amazing shoes! I have a medium width foot, wider at across at the little toe joint and narrow at heal. I also have high arch. I have these shoes in every color I can get my hands on in case Ryka phases out the style since the thick sole look is currently trending. The best thing about RYKA’s are in the details. The tell you the heal to toe rise. They have sole types based on your activity. They are made specifically for women. The Influence model has a low heel rise of 8 mm so my foot is not thrown forward. It has a circular area or pivot point on the sole under the big toe. Didn’t realize how useful that was until I had to do 3 months of PT. This model is marketing for use with activities like aerobics and Zumba but I wear my RYKA’s all the time. I first saw them when taking my husband for medical treatments at the hospital and a lot of nurses were wearing them several years ago. The first two pair I ordered, I ordered in my usual size 8. The fit was exactly spot on and allowed for thin footies or socks. I only wore them to the gym at that time. Three years later, I found I needed to go up to a thicker cushioned sock and the shoes felt a little tight at the toe so I purchased 8.5 size. Perfect!!! I now live in these shoes. I damaged both knees in a recent fall and these shoes help keep me aligned so I can wear them all day without pain or discomfort. I wear them to the gym and PT with no problem and they’ve held up very well. Admittedly, I don’t do hardcore activities in them but I am hard on shoes. I wish I’d had sense enough to wear them while I was still teaching! Ryka has a wide variety of styles, both lace up and slip on. I highly recommend the brand and so glad they have a store on Amazon now!! ... show more

  • Great for Zumba
Size: 9.5 Color: Black/Blue Multi
Great shoe for Zumba. Has great medial lateral stability features, toe flexion and heel stability. There is a circular area under the great toe that makes quick turns easy to prevent knee injury. On top of that it is a really great looking shoe and that is very fun with its almost iridescent stripes that show up but don't blind like florescent colors do. I wear a 9.5 B or medium width and found it to be exactly that. I have not used this shoe for anything else because I want to keep it clean for the dance floor. Almost forgot, my single leg balance for quad stretching and hip stretching is greatly improved with this shoe. ... show more

  • Not Rykas most comfortable shoe
Size: 9.5 Wide Color: Quiet Grey/Orchid/Peach
Not all rykas are the same. This shoe doesn't have the cushion in the sole like the high tops so its not as comfortable. But its a nice shoe. It has good support and toe room. It's a sturdy shoe.

  • Excellent for walking, using machines and cardio. Very stable sneaker.
I am 5' 6" tall and 135 lbs and fit. I exercise for about an hour every day doing cross training and cardio. I have purchased only Asics over the past five or six years but have found less and less to like about them. A lack of stable options, wearing out too fast, and less quality in the sole. I go through a pair of sneakers every three months so I want something that will hold up. Also my foot rolls outward so stability is very important. So is a decently wide toe box. I wear an 8.5 women's in medium but my foot is on the wider side. I have used these for about a week now and there is a lot to like. They are lightweight and roomy on my foot. They are very stable. I don't feel any outward roll, but I also don't feel restricted. While they don't feel squishy they are clearly well cushioned because i literally felt like i had a spring in my step - more energy - just walking around. The first time i used them I did a 45 min walk/run on the treadmill and had no discomfort, pinching or cramping. My foot that rolls out the most felt stable and comfortable. The only thing i wish these sneakers had is an extra lace hole further down the top towards the ankle bone. But some of that is because my other ones needed it since they were not as stable. I don't feel the shoes are slipping i guess i am just so used to having to tighten them up to get them snug i keep looking for that set of holes. It's not enough to make me want to return them. I can definitely see me purchasing these again and exploring other shoes from this brand. As a recommendation to others who mix running and walking with other types of cross training i suggest owning at least two pairs of every day exercise shoes and a third if you wear sneakers for around town. I have a pair of Puma cross trainers that I use in the gym for classes and boxing. These i use only for cardio work outs. It makes a big difference to your feet to switch on and off and it greatly extends the life of the sneakers. It's just like having different outfits for different events. ... show more
