Hey Chris, follow-up question...
Chris, do you have any idea how these run size-wise? Some of my Rykas in the past have been 1/2 size bigger than a street shoe, but in some I've had to go up a full size. It's time for some new ones, so any info here would help! Thanks!

RE: Hey Chris, follow-up question...
The sizes seem to be as expected, but the toe box has alot of extra room.

RE: Ryka's in new pictures... Sizing
I have been using the Enlight II for a few weeks. I usually take a size 5 but Ryka doesn't make them in that size anymore so I have to use the 5 1/2. They suggested I try a site which directed me to different ways of tying shoes in order to make them fit better.
I have always substituted the green "training" inserts for the inserts in all my work out shoes (I like a lot of cushioning) but that doesn't seem to be enough to make the 5 1/2 seem like a 5. This week I tried wearing an extra pair of thin socks and this does help some.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make a size 5 out of a
5 1/2?

I had the same situation. When at a Lady Footlocker the SA took the time to show me how to lace the shoes properly. I am not sure if I can explain it though. You know those 'extra' holes up by the ankle/arch of the lacing system? Well, she tool the laces and made a loop between those and then used this loop to create an 'extra' space to put the the laces through. Then, when pulling the laces tight to tie, this new loop expands to make the shoe snug and now my Rykas fit like a glove and never slip! I hope this helps, if you have any questions I'll do my best to answer them.

Thank you for the information. This is the site Ryka sent me to; do you see your method here anywhere? http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace

Hi Marianne! I liked the new Ryka's. I wear a 5.5 (USA)and have a narrow foot. I found the toe box to be a bit roomy but the other parts of the shoe to be true to size. They were still comfortable even with the roomy toe box. One of the cast members found them to be too roomy in the toe box and dropped to a half size smaller. Hope this helps.
