Influence Mid Top Training Shoe

So far I like the sneakers and they are comfortable. However, Ryka used to carry lace-up mid tops and now only carry a Velcro close at the ankle. I think laces all the way up, allow you to secure it tighter around the ankle.

I bought a pair on May and by the end of July the bottom sole was gone, ripped, shredded like if these were cheap sneakers. I have pictures, receipt, whatever you need.

Please bring back the Tenacity style. It keeps my ankle and foot much more stable and then I don’t hurt.

I have been purchasing on Ryka tennis for more than 15 yrs now. However, recently it appear the quality of the shoes are decreasing, yet the prices are increasing. The shoes are not comfortable at all. I do believe I am done with Ryka for the time being.

These are my favorite so far!! Thank you for making a comfortable light sneaker!!

These shoes are fabulous for Zumba and Cardio Dance. I have to kick back int the heels before tying, but then they are a spot on fit! I’m always looking for shoes with the ball of the foot pivot point, and I’ve tried many shoes that were ill fitting, but these tick all the boxes. For those that want a lace up to ankle and have a strap, try a Ryka that offers those features. I’ve bought several pairs in the kart few years and loved each and every one of them. Unfortunately, I’ve suffered a foot injury that prohibits a tight ankle fit. LUCKILY, Ryka has this Influence version that allows me to have a snug foot bed while allowing my ankle a little more movement. Thanks for the awesome insoles too!

Love them. They are comfortable, fit well, and feel so bouncy. I use them for dance & general workout. The mid rise helps support the ankle.

If you’re not used to a higher top sneaker, this may be a bit difficult to break in. I’ve got fallen arches and am finally trying these. They are extremely lightweight. Once this virus is over and I’m back to normal teaching schedule, I’ll have a better feel for them.
