Instantly comfortable
I love these runners. I use them for indoor workouts. They're so comfortable. Perfect fit. Well made. I love the design. They're very well balanced too.

Womens trainers
I do a body attack and combat class once a week ( swim and Yoga as well) and have an OK BMI.I have skinny size 8 feet.The previous reviews were positive but I have worn them for a couple of months before completing this review . These trainers were designed for women and it made a difference! They were comfortable and fit well , no part of my foot was squashed, or had much room to move around in the shoe.The trainers are supportive.I land better when I am jumping around, as I seemed to be landing on my toes with other trainers. My feet don't roll on any side movement. RYJA is an American company and getting an RYJA product in England is not straight forward, but really worth chasing down.

Feels so comfortable - best comfort I've felt in a pair of trainers EVER
These feel so comfortable, a bit like floating on "supported" air - best comfort I've felt in a pair of trainers EVER. I have ordered a pair half a size down, in case, as these are fractionally long. However, as this pair are so comfortable when tried on, I will keep this size if the half size is too small/tight. I don't buy trainers at this price normally, but as someone who has recently taken up HIIT, and realised how important a good, supportive pair of cross training shoes need to be, these are super. I have never bought shoes online before that actually fit properly and look quite good on my feet. Also, so impressed by the Amazon's "try first before buying" - it encouraged me to put this "more expensive" pair of trainers in my basket. I don't like other companies where nothing quite fits but you have to pay to return the items. I end up keeping the items to give to charity, but I won't ever buy anything that isn't reduced greatly, because of this!

Very Impressed!!!!
Love the shoes as a fitness instructor & dance teacher it’s important to get the right shoe for each class. Perfect for dance & Zumba, brilliant movement and glide but also right amount of grip, just the right amount of support & cushioning, very well made shoes. I bought half a size up which was perfect for my bunions :)

Supportive and comfortable
These trainers felt comfortable as soon as I put them on. They look and feel great whatever I'm doing - HIIT, Circuits, Weights or Pilates. They're light so would be fine for running too. Have yet to see how long they last though.

Soles are a bit on the hard side.
Since there is no place to rate the seller, I will start with the seller's rating here. I ordered 4.5 UK shoes and received 3.5UK. Since I usually wear 2 pairs of socks with my shoes, I decided keeping the shoes and wearing one pair of socks would be the least bothersome option. I ordered these shoes because of an article I read written by Jazzercise Inc. They said they were one of the best shoes for aerobics. The soles of these shoes are a bit hard and they don't seem to be as good a quality as other brands. I'm a bit disappointed, but I'll continue to wear them because they do offer better stability than my Hokas.

Good wide trainers for zumba
Fit well. The UK size is wrong but the US or JAP size is correct. No blisters after the first use. Pivot point makes it easy to turn and glide.

Finishing of the product is poor and size smaller than one would expect.
I ordered a half size up as my feet are slightly broader but the shoe itself felt a regular size 5. I have high arches and it feels well supported but will only know once I have gone some distance in them. Unfortunately the sewing on the right hand shoe is badly finished off and will soon unravel. This is disappointing.

Great for Zumba dance class
I have bad knees and must wear compression braces for Zumba. I am always fearful of side movements doing more damage. These shoes turn and move so well that I feel safe just being free to move in class. They have great padding and support my high arches. I expect to only wear these shoes from now on.

Really good for Cross Training
I bought these shoes specifically for Group Classes. I regularly do Group Power (weights) HIIT, Bootcamp, Zumba and SPIN (cycling).So far these shoes have been great for me. Jumping and lateral movements is where they really shine.ABOUT THE FIT: I usually wear a women's 8 / 8.5 / 39 Wide. I sized up to a 9. If I were to purchase these shoes again I would go with an 8.5. The 9 is still working for me - just extra roomy in the toe box. I have not had any issues with my toes feeling squished.I like how flexible the shoes feel, I enjoy the way they feel while doing push ups, running men and planks from my toes. They are nice and bendy not stiff like some gym shoes can be.Note to the manufacturer:1) an extra hole so that I can do a runners knot / heel lock would improve the shoe.2) a gusseted tongue would improve the shoe - having to go fishing for a runaway tongue during a workout can be a bit annoying!

Very comfortable
Love these shoes for working out. Great stability, very comfortable and do not hurt my feet.

Not for me. :(
I was so excited to try Ryka shoes as I had seen so many good reviews for them online. I typically do HIIT training (with a lot of plyo and lateral movements) and strength training and was looking for a supportive shoe.They are beautifully made, good quality, but unfortunately did not fit my foot shape. I have a narrow heel and found these to be very loose around the heel area. I also did not find these to have good shock absorbtion and found the sole a bit hard.I ended up returning them, but the customer service was very good.

So much better than I expected
I was a little concerned about buying shoes online, especially for working out. These are a perfect fit. I was not convinced that the soles would hold up (they are not the normal rubber I'm used to seeing on shoes) but I've had them now for several months and they are great. My feet aren't cramping and the shin splints I was getting from wearing the wrong type of shoe are gone. I wear these for aerobics, HIIT, weight lifting etc. The shoelaces stay done up, which is actually a notable thing, and they don't loosen up after heavy workouts.
