hi everyone! i just bought a pair of ryka alchemy II on sale. i have never worn ryka's before and love them aside from the fact that my toes on my left foot go numb while i'm working out in them! yes, it only happens on one foot!!?? has anyone ever had this problem and can offer a solution? i don't think there's anything unusual about my feet, but i do have high arches if that means anything. thanks in advance!

Hi there! I get this numbness on one foot too in my toes, but not all the time. I wear Rykas too (Re-evolution). But sorry, I can't offer a solution 
I just try to wiggle my toes around and eventually it goes away.

Yes, there is a pulse point located on the top of your foot, and as Nadine said, you may have your shoes tied too tightly.

The last three toes on my right foot go numb every time I wear Nikes. Any Nikes. No idea why! They will sometimes go numb with other brands as well, depending, I guess, on the model.
The only shoes I can wear with no problems at all are Reeboks. But that's just me.
I've always wondered about this toe numbness thing myself.

Toes going numb can also be a sign of Morton's Neuroma, which is basically a pinched nerve in your foot. This can be caused by wearing shoes that are too tight. If you have wide feet, make sure you get shoes that give your forefoot plenty of room. Speaking from experience here. I love Rykas but cannot wear them for aerobics because they do not make a wide-width shoe. Darn!
