Customer Reviews Ryka Tenacity

I am new at Zumba… I know it’s important to have the right kind of shoe for any activity. I did a Google search looking for a dancing shoe that is good for narrow feet. This brand came recommended by an instructor. I sometimes take a size 8, though I’ve always been a 7 1/2. Activities that are demanding on the feet often leave my toes cramped. The size eights I ordered were roomy, but seemed sloppy. The size 7 1/2 was absolutely perfect! The shape of the toebox and the fit across the top and arch are uniquely wonderful. . This brand claims to make a shoe especially for a woman’s foot. I have to say that they really hit the mark! I have the black ones with the leopard around the heel… The Velcro strap makes them easy to perfectly secure and easy to quickly adjust. They look cool, and I can dance freely without ever being aware of any discomfort- even after the first time.

After trying on many pairs of sneakers for Zumba, I finally found the perfect one! I do Zumba twice a week and needed a pair of shoes with support, cushion and style. This is my second pair of Ryka shoes, I absolutely love them. Don't look any further, get them!

These are true to size and fit perfectly. Due to my high arches, I will have to add arch support; however, this shoe is still wonderful. Ordered a 1/2 larger than my normal size so I could wear thicker socks. This shoe is much more comfortable than the Reebok Freestyle.

These are now my go-to shoes for Zumba. I have been doing Zumba for years and the Nike training shoes I was happy with were not providing ankle stabilization that I suddenly need. They are definitely a little clunky to dance in going from a light weight training shoe to a high top dance shoe but they have solved my ankle and lateral foot problem. I need a shoe wide in the toe box and these are definitely wide enough for me in a medium width. I had to order a half size down. I was tripping over my toes in my usual size.

I have been going to zumba classes for 6 years and the only shoes that work well for zumba are Rykas. The Tenacity is my favorite as I like the added ankle support and my feet are narrow so really like the lacing as it makes me feel more secure. I also have knee issues and Ryka shoes really help in that regard as my knees don't hurt with their great support . Lots of people in class have now tried ryka and notice a difference as well.

Good workout indoor shoe. Comfortable even with a bunion on one foot. Don't think about my feet at all during workout so that is a good thing!

These shoes were comfortable the first time I put them on, and they've stayed that way. I wish they had a little more cushion for hiking, but they're great for wearing all day, and I always get comments from total strangers about how cool they look.

I am happy with Tenacity because I like a sneaker in which I can wiggle my toes and my feet don't feel constricted. I use an orthotic, so I can't comment on arches, but the design of the shoe is very compatible with the shape of my feet -- wide in the front; narrowish in the heel. Fortunately I followed the suggestion of a couple of the commenters and ordered it 1/2 size larger than usual. Thank you to them; the size is just right. I think the style is fun with its colorful brush strokes of color. The design of the soul is a must for me for Zumba moves, and as for the high back style, it's a change for me that is worth trying. I wouldn't mind a little more distinction between the heel and the soul --I understand that is important for our feet and legs -- but I am satisfied that there is some. It is necessary for riding a bike to the gym as well. I have no idea why that flat footed model of sneakers in general is the rage. I have no use for them at all. These are fine, and I expect them to wear well.

Its perfect i like so much

I needed a shoe for Zumba and after reading lots of reviews I chose this shoe. Smart choice! They are great for turns and pivots but also provide just enough traction so I have full control of movement.

Great shoe! I will be back for another pair.

Have several pairs of Ryka brand. Love these!! Felt comfortable as soon as put them on. Great fit. Wore them on a long trip. Got lots of compliments. Got the black; thinking of getting another pair in silver. Rykas are the only sneakers that fit my normal foot with a narrow heel. Would highly recommend.

I love these! Wore them for travel and it was like walking on air pillows. Nice toe wiggle room, comfortable snug heel area. Thinking about getting the silver pair. Great fit.

I bought these for my Zumba classes. They are just what I need. No more sticking and stumbling on turns. They have enough support for my heels and ankles. I do feel the little tie part in front of ankles is just for decoration though. My Zumba instructor ended up with the same pair! Good taste!

As a huge Zumba devotee I would like to say that these are the best Zumba sneakers yet! The traction against the floor is infinitely better than even the Zumba-brand shoes is, the pivot circle is exactly at the base of the toe and the provided insoles are perfect. Would highly recommend!
