Ryka Women's Influence Cross Training Shoes for Optimal Performance

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!

Joelle: Wow. At first I thought I wasn’t going to like them. Once I put my feet into the sneakers and walked around, I fell in love with them. They are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever bought. I get so many compliments on them. I will be ordering again

vview: Bought it for Zumba and waited until I did a few classes before posting a review. I went a half size up to 7.5 because I wanted comfort and I have wide feet. I got it and it fit perfectly with no breaking in needed. I bought the color that was cheaper and I have no regrets. It was actually very attractive shoes. I usually get new balance cross trainers. These feel a lot lighter in contrast. I’m not sure which I like better but I’m very happy with this purchase so far.

Shellie: I was looking to replace my trainers I wear to Zumba and other exercise dance classes. These were recommended for Zumba so thought I would give them a try. I’m so pleased, really comfortable and supportive. They are perfect for Zumba. Only negative is the price as they are a bit expensive.

NinaD: I go through a couple of pairs of trainers a year as I do a lot of dance classes, and as soon as my knees start to hurt, I know it's time for a change. I researched before I bought, and I decided on Ryka. After having read lots of reviews, I ordered a UK 6.5 (I'm usually a UK 5.5/6). They had to come from the States, but when they finally arrived, I was thrilled with them. They felt comfortable and supportive straightaway, with no 'breaking in' necessary.
After six months I realised it was time for a new pair. I happened to notice that inside the trainer, the label gave US, UK and EU sizes, and the trainers I had were actually a UK 5.5. I was a bit bemused, but I ordered a UK 5.5 from the same range (different colour). Had to wait again as they were shipped from the States - but couldn't even get my foot inside as they were too small!!
I returned them and re-ordered, making sure I chose a UK 6 this time in the drop-down box. The trainers arrived - and the label inside said they were a UK 5! I was convinced they wouldn't fit me, but they did. I measured them sole to sole with my old ones, and they're only very slightly smaller. I'm not sure what's going on, and that's why I...
