Customer Reviews Ryka N-Gage Studio

Best sneakers ever - I recently injured my ankle and the ligaments in my foot. As I recovered I realized my old cross trainers were not going to support my ankle. I did some research and found the Ryka N-Gage Studio. Before the sneaker came I had my ankle wrapped in an ace bandage in my old sneaker for support and even so there was pain. With this sneaker I went right back to my step classes, aerobics and kickboxing without having to wrap it the support was so great! Love this sneaker. My larger foot touches the front toebox but I do not feel I need the next size.

Best Jazzercise Shoe Available - The Ryka N-Gage Studio gives great cushioning for aerobic dance like Jazzercise. Since Jazzertogs no longer sells shoes, it's great that Zappos has these available. At first, the high top style bothered my ankles. After a few wearings, I became acclimated to it. The shoe runs a little small, so buy a half size larger.

A tad wider than normal but still fits if tied tightly - I do lots of step aerobics and have weak ankles so I like wearing this mid-top shoe. They are great!

So wonderful! This is the only shoe -- after months of searching -- that gives me enough room for my toes and yet keeps my heel from slipping out of the shoe. The ankle support is nonabrasive but firm (the Nikes I tried were abrasive in the ankle support). I love it and hope Ryka keeps making shoes! They're designed for women's feet!

Ryka's Rock - I am a 49 year old over-weight person with bad feet...I have been doing step aerobics for years and need a good shoe to wear while doing step...I love these shoes...very comfortable even on the first day of use...I would highly recommend them. They come higher up on the ankle for the support you need when doing step. For me they were true to size with good arch support. And to top it off, they are a really nice looking shoe. I also love the Ryka Enlight II, which I can no longer find :(

Cool Shoes - I needed to replace my current pair of Ryka’s and this style was very similar. The fit is great, the cushioning feels really good. Mine are black and black shoes very difficult to find in the normal retail world. I love them. Thank you, Zappos, for making it so easy.

Best step aerobics shoe - This is the best shoe I have found for step class--I end up wearing it all the time. It's the most comfortable and takes the constant pounding of step class.

Ryka's N-Gage provides more support than others - I have problems with foot pain in the ball joint. This shoe is effective for high-impact activity; I have much less pain than with others I've tried, such as New Balance. Ryka makes the best athletic shoes for women.

They are great - I have been a long time fan of Ryka shoes but had gotten away from them for a couple of years. Recently I rediscovered them and let me tell you, I didn't realize how much I LOVE these shoes. Nothing compares to the all around support these shoes give during high impact and side to side motion. I can't say enough about them!! The only thing I would do differently is to purchase a 1/2 size bigger... But they work!!!

The Best!! I have a pair of these in black and white. I wear to jazzercise. I am overweight and have wide feet. I usually go up a half size in any athletic shoe and I did in these also. I usually wear a wide. But these fit (they don't come in wide) so much support.

Good aerobic shoe - I liked the mesh fabric (rather than leather) on the sides where the toes are. That meant that the shoe fit better when jumping and stepping.

The Best Aerobic Shoe! Ryka "studio" shoes are, indeed, the best aerobic shoe I have every worn. My recent purchase is the fifth pair of Rykas over the past 4 years. I have been doing high impact aerobics for about 25 years, and can report, unqualifiedly, that Ryka is the best quality, best fitting, most comfortable shoe that I have worn over the past 25 years.

Ryka N-Gage Studio - These shoes were immediately comfortable. I use them for Jazzercise and they are terrific. I did buy 1/2 size larger and I am not sure I needed to do that.

Love my shoes! I've always bought Ryka’s. They fit well and hold up well. I find the give me great support. I do order a larger size, as I think they are sized small.

Ryka continues to rule - This was my third pair of Ryka's and each shoe is better than the last. I use mine for step, kickboxing, dance aerobics and interval training and they are exceptional for everthing except the dance aerobics (shoes are very sticky so sliding gliding moves are tough). I use my own orthotics so there was zero breaking in time. Ryka's run approx. 1/2 size small so order accordingly.

Great shoes - This is the first time that I have bought Ryka, but I am now a fan. I wear some serious orthotics, and some where along the line I forgot that I should wear high-tops for their support. I had spent $120 on custom Nike Shox, and I hated them from the start(for all sorts of reasons). I wish that I had bought this brand years ago. True to size, comfortable and they look great (I like black). I have NO complaints. I highly recommend these. I will buy again when I need replacements.

Ryka Aerobic Sneakers- I have a very difficult time finding aerobic sneakers and when I do they usually hurt my feet. These sneakers where comfortable from day one. I would highly recommend these sneakers to anyone that takes aerobics on a regular basis.

Good for Step aerobics- I really like these shoes for step aerobics and weight training, the high top is great for ankle stability. I don't really like the look of high tops though- unfortunately. I usually am most comfortable in an 8.5AA instead of B but since the AA was not available I tried the B. I am very pleased and think they fit fine. I haven't added specialty insoles to mine yet but I probably will- I prefer a little more arch support.

Kathy's Choice- I love my shoe. It was comfortable the first time I put them on. I work out with a drill sgt. and my feet feel great after my workout.

Higher hi tops than previous Ryka studio shoes - I like the look of these and the silver accents a lot and had no trouble putting my well used pair away in favor of these. They look good and feel good too. They come up a little higher on the ankle than I'm used to but it took one wear before I was convinced that they're great shoes. They are mostly true to size. Maybe a little small, but I wear 1/2 size bigger for aerobics.

Ryka’s N-Gage Studio rocks! I can count on Ryka to deliver the best fitting, most effective workout shoe that I have ever worn. This style is no exception. I wear them for a variety of workouts from hip hop/jazz aerobics to 5 Rhythms classes, and they are my favorite shoes for everything. I have hard to fit feet with wide toes and a narrow ankle, and these shoes work perfectly. I highly recommend this shoe.

A must try! After reading one of the reviews, I ordered 1/2 size bigger based on the recommendation. The reviewer was absolutely right in that these shoes run 1/2 smaller. Something to keep in mind if you want to wear these awesome shoes right away instead of wasting time sending them back and forth.

Love my Rykas - This is my 3rd pair of Rykas, 2nd pair of studio shoes. They are lightweight, have great heel cushioning. It took several workouts for me to break in the inside ankle area - it was really stiff. I'm heavy and therefore hard on my shoes - especially during a cardio workout- and these really stand up. They also have good support for my high arches/insteps. Worth the price. And, as always, Zappos is most outstanding.

First Time Zappos Buy - My new Rykas are very comfortable and stabilizing for step aerobics. I like them so well that I wear them to work at leisure. Love the return policy.

Ideal aerobics shoe - This shoe was recommended by my aerobics instructor as the most popular among professionals. It lives up to expectations. It's comfortable with outstanding foot and ankle support. It is holding up well during two 45-minute weekly low impact sessions.
