  • 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

  • Relieved they fit perfectly!
Size: 7.5 Wide Color: Black Multi
I was nervous about these because of the reviews that stated the shoes are very narrow at the toe. I ordered a 7.5 wide and they fit perfectly. Used them at the gym today and had zero issues. They supported my feet well for everything I did. They are also cute and light weight.

  • Solid shoe for strength and endurance training.
I wear a size 10 cd (wide) in most shoes. I workout every day, using light weights (12-35lb) to do a variety of HIIT, strength & endurance, and plyometrics exercises. I have now worn them for three workouts and find that they are a solid shoe. Support and fit: They are a bit high around the ankle for me, so they push back on me during side lunches, but that's okay. They don't slip off the back of my heels during planks and pushups or even during plank jacks and mountain climbers. I find them true to a size 10 wide. I feel no pressure left to right or top to bottom. Performance and Cushioning: For turning and pivoting moves like samurai twists or curtsy lunges, I find them to be solid and it's easy to hold my balance in them. For plyos, like burpees, jumping jacks, and jumping rope, where you are mostly in the ball of the foot, the cushion in the ball of the foot is solid. No complaints. For leg workouts, like squats, squat jumps, single lunges, and deadlifts, I wish there was more of an arch and more cushion in the heel. (Hence, the four star review.) For lunges and calf raises where you move from flat foot to your toes and back again, I find the shoe nicely flexible. Overall, this is a solid shoe for my workouts. It has good support and decent cushioning. ... show more

  • Perfect shoes for cardio that requires lateral movement
Size: 8 Color: Frost Grey/Rose/Pale Aqua
My wife started taking Zumba and other cardio classes at our gym and initially was using her running shoes. Running shoes are great for going in a straight line or around a track but don’t work if you need lateral movement. She hurt her knee while trying to move to the right in her running shoes. Her instructor recommended Ryka shoes. She chose the color and the size ordered fit her perfectly with no slipping or heel tightness and have been comfortable to wear with no foot or ankle issues. After the first class using the new shoes she told me how they were much better than her other ones. A couple of the other women in her class commented that they really liked the way they looked. Besides Zumba she uses them for cardio sculpt and HIIT classes and the workouts are better by using these specialized yet versatile shoes. She liked them so much I just ordered another pair in a different color on Prime Day. ... show more

  • Toe box issues & no cushioning
I am looking for a shoe to wear for Body&Soul fitness classes which involves part high impact aerobics & part resistance training (though I usually remove my shoes for the resistance training - I hate hot feet & I'm formerly trained in ballet so I like to challenge my feet by going bare when not engaging in high impact activity). I have moderate pronation issues and wear custom orthotics. So I need something with cushioning and flexibility in the forefoot & rear-foot, but support in the mid-foot. The latter is what I liked about this shoe (Ryka's n-gage design) in addition to what seems to be good lateral support for side to side movements. But there is not enough cushioning for the high impact moves, nor is there enough room in the toe box for anything dance-y. Thus, after just 20 min of use my toes were going numb. We don't do much twirling so I cannot attest to this shoe's performance on that. I usually wear a 6.5 with average width in workout/walking/hiking shoes. These fit fine length wise. I really hoped that this shoe would work, it has a very sleek look and isn't too outrageous in color (I purchased the teal/silver). I even returned one pair & bought another in hopes that it was just a fluke that the toe box was restrictive. But as other customers have mentioned the toe box is a problem. The upper material is very stiff & compresses on the top of the toe box when pushing off - which seemed ok when walking around the house but as mentioned above became a toe-numbing problem during full fledged workout/aerobics. I'm finding it very difficult to find a well cushioned shoe with good mid foot support (as far as I can tell this is the only "training/dance" shoe Ryka makes with the n-gage midfoot design) and that provides lateral stability. At this point I've tried 7 different models/styles of shoes and have yet to find what I need. Unfortunately the Ryka Influence did not make the cut. These shoes are going back. ... show more

  • First time Ryka buyer
Size: 8.5 Wide Color: Vapor Grey
I tried these shoes after my last pair of Sketchers stretched out and I started having sore legs, ankles, and feet in the morning when I got up. These shoes really provide good support, although my next pair will be 1/2 size larger. They're a little tight and I'm hoping they'll loosen up as I break them in. I also feel that the tongue on the shoe is really thick and could be slightly shorter, as it rubs against my ankle. All in all, I'd recommend these shoes to friends. ... show more

  • Awesome fit
Size: 8.5 Color: Black/Blue Multi
These are my second pair of Ryka Influence cross trainers. These shoes fit true to size, are roomy in the toe box, hug the heel & have good support. The black/blue color is very nice. I use them for Zumba & my feet feel happy in them.
