I have the Studio Flex Mid and like them. They provide great ankle support- I like them for step and the lateral movements that Cathe does in the 4DS Bootcamp workout, for instance. I don't care for them for kickboxing, though. I wear the Asics Gel Intensity for that and for everyday wear and I like them a lot. HTH!
I have the Kelly Ripa trainers by Ryka and love them! Very light w/ lots more lateral support at the mid-foot than the n-gage ones. I'd never buy the n-gage ones again. JMO.
Does anyone know if these shoes provide good arch support? I have to wear something that helps with over-pronation. I have been wearing a pair of Nike cross trainers that I found on sale at an outlet but they are not really doing well. I would like to try Ryka but I can't find info on if they are a good shoe for over pronation and stability.
Heather -
I love Ryka's and have been wearing them for years. Out of the box, I don't feel they offer as much arch support as I like so I always replace the insoles with something more supportive (Spenco, Superfeet, etc.)
