Okay, I have tried lots of shoes for aerobics, and this weekend, I thought my search had finally ended. Not so. I finally found a store in my area that carries Ryka aerobic shoes, but alas, they don't carry the Rhythm II (apparently the original Rhythms are no longer available). If you want the Rhythm II, you have to order it from their catalog. Anyway, I tried on several shoes and settled on the Ryka Affirm...but yesterday when I did Rhythmic Step, the shoes were SSOOOOO uncomfortable, that I had to take them off not even halfway through the workout and put on my old shoes again (that cause "burning" in the balls of my feet -- this is what I was trying to get rid of).
At any rate, I saw the "Shoe Question" thread from a few weeks ago (I actually printed it out), and now I'm referring back to it. I need to know what all you Cathe-ites think. Since I have decided to order a shoe, should I order the Freddy's or the Rhythm II? I need a shoe with a little "bounce" and cushion (and the Ryka Affirms had absolutely NO bounce whatsoever -- they were a very "flat-soled" shoe that really made my feet and legs uncomfortable). So, in your experience, if you had to choose, would you go with the Rhythm II or the Freddy. Any and all comments are welcome. I want to place my order today, if possible, so bring it on.
Thanks!
