Any shoes out there similar to Ryka's N-Gage-Instructors
I need new workout shoes. I loved the Ryka N-Gage-Instructors from a few years back and have been looking for high/semi high top shoes since Ryka discontinued the N-Gage. I even emailed Ryka to ask about them and they said they have no plans to bring them back
Does anyone have recommendations for good cross trainers that have some ankle support? I've only worn Ryka's and I'm not familiar with any other brands. Thanks

I've been using the Ryka Mid Studio D shoes: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Ryka-Mid...item564402270d
I think they have pretty good support, though the sole is not as thick as the N-Gage Instructor shoes were. I use orthotic insoles, though, so it's not a problem for me. I also think the new Downbeat looks like it would provide good ankle support because it's higher: http://www.ryka.com/en-US/Product/24...+Downbeat.aspx Or what about the Studio Flex Mid? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NIB-Ryka-Stu...item5644181a91 I haven't tried these either, but they look really similar to the N-Gage Instructor, from what I can remember. Good luck!

QUOTE] Just wanted to say that I remember Amy Bento-Ross posting that she wore the Ryka mentioned above. I wear the Ryka Studio D that's a little lower on the ankle. Its light enough for side and roundhouse kicks. I'm not completely happy with the base as you can see the bottom of the shoe is pretty narrow. Although I have narrow feet, I like to have a bigger base. Still looking for the perfect shoe for my big feet.. I wear a 12 http://vip.zappos.com/ryka-studio-d-black-gun-metal I wear Saucony for weight training and HiiT and Tabata...Tracie Long gave me the idea to get these...they are great and breatheable(I have a bit of Neuropathy starting thanks to my Dad's gene's) so they are perfect. My feet hardly sweat when I wear them and they are very cushy. One thing that I love about this shoe is that it works well and is comfortable for my poor toe when doing stationary dips or when my toe is bent resting on a step for bulgarian lunges(Cathe and Amy do these)., most shoes kill my toe that has to be bending in that position(anyone else relate or understand..?lol). My poor toe!! These Saucony shoe bend really well and keep my toe from being uncomfortable or squished. Believe me, I usually have to come out of the dip or lunge early because my toe is hurting and not because my quad,glute and hamstring have given out. I hope someone can relate... http://vip.zappos.com/saucony-grid-f...ite-black-pink
