Back to Results Ryka N-Gage Run Manufacturer: Ryka Price: $85 Reviewed in: May 2005 Shoe Guide Average Reader Rating: 4 stars (1 review) Shoe Type: Neutral-Cushioned See Specifications We Say: This women's-only brand has a great reputation in walking, but its running shoes haven't yet made an impact. That may change with the neutral-cushioned N-Gage. It features Ryka's Nitracel cushioning foam in the heel and forefoot to absorb impact, plus there's a small plastic support under the arch for a touch of stability. The shoe insert is also made of Nitracel, which is what gives this shoe its soft feel. Recommended for women with higher arches who may respond well to the unique fit and feel of this shoe. Wear-Testers Say: "I never tried Rykas before, but they fit my wide feet perfectly." -Miyoko Nakajima, 25, San Diego "I thought the shoe would feel lighter than it did." -Pat Smith, 51, East Lansing Average Reader Rating: 4 stars (1 review) Write a Review 4 stars loved the fit and feel on long runs.really love the cushioning on my heel strik as I am a heavier runner..
