Ryka Influence is my favorite shoe ever!
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!!

Perfect shoes for cardio that requires lateral movement
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.

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.

Great for Zumba
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.

I have wide feet and normally always have to size up to get the width in all kinds of shoes if there are no wide fitting available. I read the reviews about the wrong sizes being sent due to UK/USA sizing and was wary about ordering due to the costs of returning if the wrong size arrived. However, I went ahead and ordered a 5.5 wide fitting, and that’s exactly what turned up. They fit amazing. Lightweight, colourful, comfortable and with a pivot spot perfect for Zumba. Shipping was really fast too.

Arrived timely and size fits perfectly! Heel cushioning was great and I can dance 90mins on cement floor without any issues! Going to get the mid-cut shoes for better ankle support 🙂
