Review on πŸ‘Ÿ RYKA Women's Influence Training Black Athletic Shoes for Women: Remarkable Performance and Style by Glenda Vollan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible landing, strange shape of the sole!

Ordered in my regular sizes Medium and Wide. Although very comfortable to wear, I used to look at my foot while walking and these shoes make my foot rotate oddly while walking. In both M and W widths, the insole of the shoe protrudes OVER the sides of the sole; both when I wear them and when they are empty! The outsole of my other shoes is the same size and shape as the insole, if not wider. Not here. The sole is curved and tapers inward like the soles of some sandals, which doesn't suit my foot shape or the widest of feet. I think because of this sole, my foot arches strangely when I walk. I don't like her for that reason. They are light weight and well padded and I was hoping they would be suitable for the Impact Zumba. However, I would prefer something that fits my foot better and is less bulky overall. I don't consider this a dance/cardio shoe at all. Also, when feeling and looking at the internal construction and stitching, the shoes feel poorly made and flimsy. I don't think they will last long before the fabric and seams start to tear. We return and start the search again. I'm guessing this brand has survived its heyday and is now using cheaper materials and construction?

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • A long time ago
