onceagain Posted August 1, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Just thought I'd let you know about something that I absolutely love - women, if you have never tried Ryka athletic shoes, you just have to. They are fabulous. They make shoes for only women and they are designed for the woman's foot. I got mine at Famous Footwear ($70 but worth every penny) I think Ladies Footlocker also sells them. You can get them on their website too. Seriously, you just have to put your feet into a pair. I bought them yesterday, went to the zoo last night, walked around for about 2 hours and they felt wonderful, immediately. :D My daughter is a nurse and almost all the women at her hospital wear them.

cb at sea Posted August 1, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I've never taken athletic shoes on a cruise--or denim! (We sail warm weather destinations!) It's sandals, flip-flops and heels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onceagain Posted August 1, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I take flip flops and sandals too, but if we are going to walk for a while or go over rough terrain during an excursion, our athletic shoes do the trick. They also keep our toes warm as we go to the airport and board the plane in Minnesota. We cruise in Jan. or Feb.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted August 1, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Thanks, I'll have to check them out. I have been known to wear my sneakers in the caribbean for excursions (I'm not the steadiest in sandals over rocks, etc.). Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wearing them for years. Discovered them a looooonnng time ago. Only ones I buy are the walking shoes...and I really only wear them when I am doing some serious walking, and usually in cooler weather. Only athletic shoes I take on a cruise are my running shoes, for my morning deck runs. For excursions we wear treking sandals...waterproof, very comfortable, and much cooler than a full shoe. But I agree - Rykas are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raytownlady Posted August 2, 2008 #6 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Ryka makes some very cute sandals,mary janes and ballet flats; they are comfortable and provide more support than a pair of flip flops without adding the bulk of a pair of athletic shoes.

Terrafreaky Posted August 4, 2008 #10 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I bought a pair of Rykas for our trip to NYC in 2006. Yeah, I know, I know, bright white tennis shoes = tourist. lol I had knee surgery at the end of March, was still wearing a splint at night, and had a massive limp, so I wasn't too worried about my bright white shoes. :D I have loved them from the start. I picked them out mainly because they had my size (6.5 wide). I've been toying with the idea of getting another pair. Mine were from DSW Shoes & I think they were around $50.

poochierebelbear Posted August 5, 2008 #11 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I love my Rykas. I've had them for years and still wear them, especially for working out. They are worn so I think it's time to buy a new pair. As for the cruise, oh, I got my 3 pair of Merrells and I'm ready to go. Erica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camperhawk Posted August 5, 2008 #12 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hi I am shoe shopping now and am considering anything that is comfortable and will not make my bunion (right foot only) less than excrutiating! Do these fit the bill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onceagain Posted August 6, 2008 Author #13 Share Posted August 6, 2008 The Ryka's should be great for you. They are made wider at the toe area so should give you a little extra space. I have my Ryka sandles on today, they are also great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhecker Posted August 6, 2008 #14 Share Posted August 6, 2008 i love my sandals for the ship and cozumel but if I hadn't had my athletic shoes with me the ruins at chichen itza would have been really difficult. I was glad to have them. There is a famous footwear next to my gym. I am going to need to shoes to workout and will check out the ryka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanatravel Posted August 8, 2008 #15 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Ryka also makes a woman's water sneaker which is great for Water Aerobics or beach/sailing water activities. The sides and soles have drains. These are much better support than flimsy aquashoes or socks. Ryka now has a line of sportswear.

sunshinestyles Posted August 10, 2008 #16 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I wear Ryka's to work out and put my pair to good use on my last cruise, I got up early each morning to walk the deck and use the gym so I definitely used them. I never knew they sold sandals, I'll have to get some since I love the way they fit- I have high arches and the Ryka's are very supportive. By the way, I always get mine on ebay, they're about $29 there and all the ones I've ordered have been great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted August 10, 2008 #17 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Thanks for mentioning ebay for them ... I'll have to check it out. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
