Hello. Can anyone suggest any shoes that work well for step and circuit workouts? I saw a prior discussion about this where many suggeted Ryka Enlight II, but I don't think you can buy those any more. I also wondered whether the higher top on some of those aerobic shoes get in anyone's way when doing things like lunges, etc. My running shoes just aren't cutting it for Cathe's workouts. Sore knees!

Thanks to all.
 
I tried the replacement for the Enlight II's, the N-Gage studio shoes, and I had a negative experience with them, so I sent them back.

For step, I'm wearing a pair of Nike Impax which I really enjoy. I've also heard good things about the Nike Shox Precision.

When I am doing circuits, I wear more supportive shoes (for me the Nike's don't have enough support when I'm doing weight bearing exercise). For that, I have a pair of New Balance cross trainers that I love. I believe they are 853's.

Good luck!
 
Deborah,
I had a horrible time finding shoes and finally ended up with the N Gage Studio shoe by Ryka. I tried other Rykas,and the NB620. For me Rykas are the best for my knees and have the best padding for my feet. I use the N Gages for all my workouts- kickbox,step, weights and circuits. (all Cathe of course:) ) You can order the Enlight II's if you call Ryka direct. I actually bought from Zappos. They have free shipping and free return shipping.

I have never tried Ryka. My main cardio is running and I would never use running shoes for step or circuit. I found some Reeboks Ultra RX Lite crosstraining shoes on sale at Shopko and they are very comfortable. I will agree with Zappos too...a great site for shoes...:)
 
I just got these, and I love them! I have a hard time finding shoes, but these are really good for me. They did feel stiff when I first tried them on, but they loosened up right away and have given me no problems. Nice cushion, good lateral support. As far as for lunges, they seem a bit high towards the front of my ankle, so I just undid the last lace and now it is great.
