Great Shoes For Zumba

February 28, 2013

Size: 7 B(M) USColor: Black/Dark Grey/Light BlueVerified Purchase

I purchased these shoes after my Zumba instructor suggested I get shoes specifically for Zumba. Get the right shoe for the right activity, she said. I had told her how my knees had been hurting and that is why I didn't do some of the higher impact moves, and she said the right shoes should help. I was a bit skeptical, and almost didn't get these shoes especially because of the price point, but I am so glad I did. I wear 6 1/2 or 7, and have a fairly wide foot in the toe box area, but not so much in my heel, which ironically is how these shoes are designed, for a women's foot, Made "For Women, By Women", and the size 7 fit me perfectly. First thing I noticed is how lightweight, yet at the same time still very supportive, and surprisingly stable feeling they were. The real test was at my next Zumba class, and they passed with flying colors!!!! My skepticism quickly disappeared when I was doing the high impact moves that I wouldn't even attempt before because of knee pain. I did a whole one hour class with no knee pain at all and worked out much harder than ever before since I was pain free. The lightweightedness of the shoe helped make kicks, and jumps much easier. And the spin spot on the bottom of the shoe made turns much smoother as well. As a result I am getting a much more intense workout, and becoming better at: "Zumba-ing"! I would also like to mention Amazon delivered before the projected delivery date, which was an awesome surprise to receive them so quick. Kudos to Ryka for making such a great shoe! This was my first experience with Ryka shoes and I will try some of their other shoes as well in the future.

Size: 10.5 B(M) USColor: Black/Sharp Green/Forge Grey/MetallicVerified Purchase

My feet are high arched, narrow heel and wide forefoot, with bunion and peripheral neuropathy, so fit is critical. I usually ordered Saucony and New Balance brands. I read the reviews and decided to take the risk and order, although in past, Ryka shoes were too narrow and sizing unpredictable. Well, ordering the Influence shoe in medium width and 1/2 size higher than my usual shoes was a success. I love these shoes. Have taken them for long walks on the hard, marble floors of the local mall and the fit and cushioning is great. They have the side-to-side mobility and the pivot point on the sole which make these shoes idea for dance, and would also work for weight training, cross-fit and walking. The breathable upper mesh keeps my feet comfortable. Would recommend.

Excellent for walking, using machines and cardio. Very stable sneaker.

February 9, 2018

Size: 8.5 B(M) USColor: Steel Grey/Chrome Silver/Diver Blue/Zuma PinkVerified Purchase

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.

Size: 8 B(M) USColor: Steel Grey/Chrome Silver/Diver Blue/Zuma PinkVerified Purchase

I bought these for my wife for her PlyoJam (cardio, dance) class at the gym. They arrived the first week in July and worked well through mid-September. That's about 8 weeks of good wearing; she wore them once a week for one hour each week. By mid-September they provided less support; by the end of the month the outer shoe support was pretty much gone. The description of the shoe made me believe we could expect more from the shoe. I don't know that she'll be able to wear them for other classes since her foot ached after the last class. We buy workout shoes frequently so I feel qualified to judge workout shoe products.

I'm a Jazzercise instructor so I needed good support for high impact dance aerobic exercise. These shoes are very light weight, but have good arch support and lateral support. So far, I have been very pleased with their performance. They fit true to size. I wear a size 8 medium and the 8 in these shoes fit me just right. Love my Ryka's!

Great for Zumba. My feet hurt a little because of the arching while I'm dancing, but after my feet are great which is much better than your feet not hurting during the hour...Read more
