Ryka Women's Influence Cross-Training Shoes for Fitness and Comfort

Jen Busch: I bought these for my HIIT, lifting and boxing workouts and I love them. Really comfortable shoe with an arch support. I usually hate arch support because it's too much and hurt my feet, but this was just enough. They are made for cross training, so they don't have a ton of shock absorption and padding, but I did use them to run on the treadmill and they were still comfortable. Not sure I'd use them if I was an avid runner, but they work perfectly for what I listed.

Sheila Evans: I bought these trainers as they were highly recommended for zumba. I decided to judge for myself after reading reviews criticising the sizing and went for my normal size 4.
On arrival they were clearly too large so I returned and bought a size smaller. I have given this a five star review because they are fabulous trainers but please take note of sizing issues.

Amazon Customer: I've been using my Devotion Plus 2's for the past 5 years until the sole started peeling away. I found the DP2's extremely comfortable. I got these because they were Ryka and the colors were way prettier than any of the current Devotion lines. They are good shoes, and the insole and laces are definitely better than DP2. However, the footbed is a bit narrower. I probably should've known as these are training, not walking shoes. It's a little uncomfortable, but not a deal breaker. Hopefully they'll widen out as I break them in.

Amazon Customer: With my socks on, it fits great with a bit of wiggle room in the toe area. I need a pair of shoes for Zumba and been looking at the reviews so far. This will do for once a week Zumba. Only time will tell if this lasts as I have also read the negative reviews about the shoes falling apart. I am glad this brand comes in Wide WIdth.

Goatie: It is a good shoe but I think it should slide a little better, however it is ok for zumba. I just have to be careful of spinning cautiously. In other words, dont expect to spin like you're in a dance shoe. I regret getting a half size bigger like people advised (they said the shoes fit smaller). Their advice was wrong. Get your true street size.

Sheila Evans: I bought these trainers after reading many reviews which said they are the best for Zumba (Zumba gold in my case).
After initially ordering a size 4 uk which were more like a 5 tbh I tried again buying a 3.5 instead. They are perfect and so comfy I am really pleased I pushed the boat out and treated myself!

Beth: The shoe is super cute, but lacks in comfort. It seems as if they forgot to put a layer of cushion in these shoes. That would make this super cute shoe pefect!

CC Cruz: Really luv the colors & think the style is really cool, but there r several things I don’t like about them. The toe box is a little too wide so that when I walk it bends ( like a crease) & rubs my small toe. All my sneaks r med width & never had this problem. On the left side of each sneaker is a kind of bulge right below the small toe where maybe people might have a bunion. I wondered if that’s what it’s for, but none of my other sneakers have it. Looks a little weird. The banding that goes around the sneaker is very rigid, not flexible at all. If u get a size that’s snug I think that may b uncomfortable. None of my other sneakers r like that, all of them r flexible. But this pr isn’t snug so it’s not a problem. The shoelaces r very flimsy (thin widthwise & thickness), but I don’t want to change them bcuz they match the trim. Lastly, but maybe most importantly, they have insoles that match the trim & shoelaces (dk pink) & the color leached out all over the bottom of my sox, & it doesn’t come out in the wash. Never had that happen in my life! So, after saying all that, I decided I liked the colors & style enough that I’d keep them....
