I typically love Ryka but, these have very little arch support or cushion. The tongue is a hard kind of plastic material. Returned them. I have two pairs of devotion walking shoes and love them, sadly these are not comfortable at all.

Best shoe yet!
This shoe is great for aerobic dance fitness. Great for those that need more arch support and side to side movements. The pivot point is a bonus!

Not bad, not great
Decent, but not great. I've had better Ryka's. These were not as comfortable.

Perfect fit for my wide toes and narrow heels
My favorite. Owned over 6 different Rykas. I have narrow feet, wide toe span and very narrow heels. This particular model really fits it all. Only wish it came in white. Hard to find white shoes.

No Support
I just finished my regular 30 min aerobic workout with warm up and cool down also. My back hurts and my feet are numb and tingling, after almost 25 yrs of aerobics I have to say that these shoes are a failure in regards to support in the ball of the foot! They have no lateral support and the tongue is a joke! I taught classes for over 20 yrs and I’m so disappointed in the lack of decent shoes for indoor classes like kick box, dance of any kind or just basic aerobic moves! These shoes could cause fractures in the metatarsal bones!

Shoes with great support!
I am a Jazzercise instructor, and this is my fifth pair of Influence 2.5’s. I previously had plantar faciitis and these shoes were recommended to address. I’d say they have been a big success :) . And they are cute and comfortable too.
