| *Fit KM: $70 |
|
Primarily a cushioned shoe without added stability devices, the Fit KM's greatest asset is as its name suggests: fit. Ryka's are designed specifically for the special fitting needs of women runners. Sizes: (w) 5-11, 12. |
| 10KM Stability: $75 |
|
Ryka is a company which makes athletic shoes only for women. So it stands to reason that its shoes fit women runners well. The 10KM is its most stable shoe with a firm two-density midsole to limit overpronation. And how's the fit? Good if you're a woman with a narrow heel and wide forefoot. Sizes: (w) 5-11, 12. |
| *Omnizon: $75 |
|
The Omnizon is more of a run/walk shoe than a pure running shoe. It's OK only for casual running. Sizes: (w) 5-11, 12. |
