The Ryn shoes promote balance, stability and control.
What Makes RYN Footwear Different?
• Exceptional Stability – The structured RYN air-tunnel system provides cushioning at impact without sacrificing stability. The shoe drives straight ahead without caving in or rolling out.
• 45 Degree Rocker – The rocker challenges major muscle groups more than most other rocker sole shoes. MBT has about a 30 degree rocker on the Sport model.
• Arch Stimulation – A slight “arch hump” pleasantly stimulates the arch as your foot passes through the gait cycle.
• Extra Padding and Depth – RYN athletic shoes have extra heel, top line and tongue padding, thus ensuring a secure fit without heel slipping problems.
• Orthotic Friendly – Since the central message behind RYN is balance, stability and control – we encourage the use of orthotics for maximum stability, if needed. RYN shoes have the added depth to accept custom or OTC orthotics (i.e. Lynco) without incurring fitting problems, like heel slipping.
• Excellent Stability on Uneven Terrain – Unlike brands like Skechers and MBT, RYN has no soft, collapsing memory foam. The structured air tunnel provides much better stability in grass, on inclines and on uneven surfaces, like cobblestones.
• Better Wet Weather Performance – Since there is no soft foam sensor for water to permeate, RYN shoes can be easily worn in the rain and wet weather without fear of damaging the shoes. The RYN Trail shoes are lined with Sympatex®, which allows the foot to breathe, without letting water in.
• Impeccable Craftsmanship – RYN footwear is built to last.  The shoes are beautifully manufactured, lasted and finished. Their 7-layer construction, manufacturing process and materials selection assures your customers of wearing a shoe with excellent longevity that will feel great every time they lace them up. Every aspect of R&D, manufacturing and quality control is tightly controlled under one roof. There is no “contract manufacturing” to China, Vietnam, Indonesia or Singapore.
• Attractive Styling Across Multiple Categories – RYN’s athletic, casual, dress and sandal lines have drawn praise from customers since they have arrived in the U.S. There’s a RYN shoe for almost any occasion. Many of the RYN models are designed in Milan, and manufactured in Korea.

There are actually several different types of shoes that may employ
some instability or a rocking motion:
• Toning shoes may look odd but utilize various designs to force the
core muscles in your body to work harder to obtain balance.
• Mild rocker shoes are not meant to improve posture or balance.
They reduce strain on the heel and toes by allowing you to roll
normally with each step.
• Unstable rockers have an unstable heel designed to force you to
change your center of gravity and posture and stand up straighter.
• Stable and medical rockers are great for reducing certain motion
in the toe joints or off-loading pressure from a particular area of
the foot. These are mainly prescribed by podiatrists to treat arthritis
or pain in the ball of the foot, diabetes, and plantar fasciitis.
They also may be prescribed for use after surgical procedures.
In fact, toning shoes are the fastest-growing shoe category
since the 1970s.
Rocker bottom and toning shoes can change your walking or standing
posture. They can change how you walk, and the muscles of
the body adjust and compensate. Because you will be using new
muscles, your podiatrist might recommend that you wear these
shoes for shorter walks or on alternating days for cross training. In
some patients, rocker bottom shoes can cause injuries such as Achilles
tendinitis or ankle sprains. But in others, the slight adjustment in
gait can help tone and strengthen muscles. However, it is important
to remember that anyone who already has
an unstable gait should be very cautious
about using these types of shoes.

However, it is important to remember that anyone who already hasan unstable gait should be very cautious about using these types of shoes.Most doctors agree that if these shoes can get people motivated to
walk, thereby improving their health and fitness, they are worth the money. However, make sure to check with Dr. Kerch to recommend the best shoe for you for any activity. Also, be sure to start wearing them in gradually, and stop immediately if any pain or discomfort develops.

The curved soles have seven layers, including an air bag in the heel. Dr. Kerch recommends to her patients "to choose being stable vs. unstable while standing” when you are evaluating shoes with this design of the sole. These two-pound shoes are lighter than the MBT’s, and they also yield less impact during gait from the feet up to the back. The totally waterproof Trails “are great for the rainy days we get in the Pacific Northwest.” An added bonus is they give your “calf muscles a challenge while walking.”

In studies sponsored by manufacturers, the rounded-sole design improves postural alignment and minimizes joint stress. It is said by some it is like walking in soft sand. While walking your stride is also changed. Leg muscles get stretched and worked harder than in regular walking shoes. This stimulates the circulation in your calves.
