Which shoes are best for running?

When searching for your newest pair of running sneakers, there are a few key features to look for to ensure a comfortable and supportive run:

• Ensure they have good cushioning. This will help to absorb the impact of your foot striking the ground, which reduces stress on your joints.
• Look for shoes with a stable heel to keep your feet feeling stable and supported. Another must have is a breathable upper, which will keep your feet feeling clean and dry on your runs.

What is the difference between men's running shoes and women's running shoes?

The main difference between men's and women's shoes is the fit. Men's and women's feet have different shapes and sizes:

Women's running shoes tend to have a narrower heel and a wider forefoot to better accommodate the unique shape of a woman's foot. They also tend to have a lower heel-to-toe drop, which helps to keep the foot in a more neutral position.

Are there any special considerations for running shoes for women with wider feet?

If you have wider feet, it's important to choose a running shoe that accommodates your foot shape. Ryka offers the Utopia running shoe in a wide width option so we would recommend checking the size chart to determine the best size and fit for your foot. 

Made for Women:

Ryka is proud to be the first brand ever to create athletic shoes with comfort technology specifically for a woman’s unique foot shape, muscle movement and build. Ryka shoes are designed with a wider forefoot for extra stability, a narrower heel for a more secure fit, shock absorption meticulously tested for more bounce, flexibility & energy return as well as a contoured flexible cushioning that has been fine-tuned for a woman’s body weight. We know that women need the right stability and support to enhance performance and minimize the risk of injury, so that’s why Ryka is still the only athletic shoe company solely dedicated to women; because our feet are different than his.
