Sizes to buy for Ryka shoes

[swimnfit]

I've been reading all the posts about good shoes to do Cathe's workouts in, and after reading the rave reviews about Ryka, I'm going to give them a try. I want to get the Rhythm II, but can't find them in any stores here, so I will order them online.

My question is...I've heard from some that they recommend to size up from your normal shoe size. I was wondering if that is true and how much to size up. I tried on a different style of Ryka's and it seemed I would wear my usual size. Also, for those who have ordered online (ie, A-Jock) where did you get them? Any advice from Ryka veterans is much appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi Nicole,

I actually just ordered a pair of Ryka's for my mom's birthday. I am a size 8, and she is an 8.5. I ordered her the 8.5 but tried them o to see if they were true to size. They were definitely a little to big on me, so I think that the sizes are pretty typical. I know that some of the Ryka's are made in whole sizes only, and if this is the case, if you are a whole size, stick with it, and if you are a half, go up half a size.

I bought the Ryka Rhythm shoe a few months ago. Love it. I wear a street shoe size 8 or 8.5, and in a Ryka, I always take a size 9. So I don't think you have to size up very much at all. You could always order a couple of sizes and return the pair that does not fit.

Nicole, I always go up 1/2 size. In street shoes I wear 7 and all my Ryka's (and other workout shoes) are 7.5

Rykas are great. I have found them to be true to my size, which is a 7. The only pair that I found ran small were a pair of "walk/run" Rykas. I have a pair of Iseums which I bought in a size 7.5 (to be safe) and they are fine, although I would have been good in my usual 7. Rykas are the only brand I wear now!
Have fun,
