shoe advice - please help!

[hannagan]

Hi Cathe,
I teach aerobics and need a good cross trainer. Do you have any suggestions? I teach step and it is a higher impact, I teach kick boxing, I do plyometics, & boot camp. I have searched and searched online with no site to help. I admire you and I know you are very versatile in your teaching. Please let me know if you have any tips.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Olivia

Not cathe, but I can at least give you my opinions on two ryka shoes: http://hottiescientist.wordpress.com/2009/10/19/review/ and http://hottiescientist.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/review-ryka-studio-flex-mid/

I know she likes the rykas!

Not Cathe either, but I too like the Ryka Kelly Ripa Assist cross-trainers vs. the studio mid. The fit is better especially around the toe box area, and the impact absorption is very good. I too do a lot of high-impact and directional-change floor work, and I haven't liked a model of athletic shoe like I like the Ripas in a long time.

HTH!
