Ryn Shoes Reviews, Technology & Information

Since Ryn Footwear is so new in North America (as well as in Europe), this section will be currently and constantly under development based on our learnings from our customers' collective experiences with these exciting products. As always we very much value your feedback. Ryn Footwear is the most exciting and technical brand yet to come to the US marketplace that strengthens, tones and aligns the human body by recreating a natural foot strike environment. These shoes and sandals are intended for those seeking comfort & physiological relief as well as those seeking a workout & physical results.

Sizing & Fitting:

All current Ryn footwear products featured on this site run true to size except the Nazca that generally runs 1/2 a size small. Therefore if you are interested in ordering the Nazca, we recommend that you select a size 1/2 a size bigger than your professionally measured size.

Another exception is the Babylon (Men's) that generally runs 1/2 a size large. Therefore if you are interested in ordering the Babylon, we recommend that you select a size 1/2 a size smaller than your professionally measured size.

If you are not sure about your size then please measure both your feet in millimeters and provide us with your data. Your millimeter foot size data plus eight millimeters results in your Korean MM size which we can then convert into US or European sizes.

Also if you wish to have us further assist fitting you, please provide us with the width and size of footwear that currently fits your feet optimally. Please also let us know if your feet run wide, narrow or regular.

Ryn Footwear Explained:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWwuXSztJAg

Ryn Product Leadership:

1. The RYN AIR TUNNEL and seven layer structure promotes energy return & stability... in addition to strengthening, toning and aligning.

2. The RYN AIR TUNNEL lightens the footwear weight as well as enhances its
durability, cushioning and footstrike/stability management effectiveness; keeps heel slippage to a minimum.

3. The RYN AIR TUNNEL can get wet and can withstand all sorts of exposure and usage.

4. The encapsulated RYN AIR TUNNEL technology offers maximum strengthening and toning for those consumers seeking to get the most workout out of their footwear purchase - executed on a stable, highly technical, supportive and non-eroding seven layer sandwich midsole/outsole platform.

5. RYN Footwear has outstanding quality as each shoe is hand made and goes through a vigorous quality control procedure in footwear's global development hub in Pusan, Korea. As a result RYN Footwear has great durability and longevity and does not require resoling.

The RYN AIR TUNNEL:

The RYN AIR TUNNEL comes in four different executions so as to best address all consumers groups -- the RYN OPEN AIR TUNNEL for the softer ride (in the Sandals and Casual Shoes), the RYN ENCAPSULATED AIR TUNNEL MAX for the ultimate ride (in the Athletic Shoes), the RYN ENCAPSULATED AIR TUNNEL STABLE for the stable ride (in the Outdoor and some Athletic Shoes) and the RYN ENCAPSULATED AIR TUNNEL FIRM for the firmer ride (in the Dress Shoes).

Designed in Milan, Italy. Crafted in Pusan, Korea:

The quality of the Ryn shoes is impeccable, and you can feel the quality as soon as you put the shoes on. Nothing sloppy about the construction of these shoes. US shoe industry experts have inspected the Ryn shoes, and all of them were very impressed with how the shoes are designed, stitched, lasted and finished. One of them pointed out several design features in the Ryn shoes that other shoe companies have eliminated to cut costs. Ryn shoes are designed in Milan, Italy and developed, manufactured and headquartered in Pusan, South Korea. The South Koreans are known for making some of the highest-quality, most durable shoes in the world. Z-CoiL shoes have a reputation for lasting for years. They are also manufactured in South Korea.

Ryn approved by FDA as a medical device:

Ryn recently announced that it has acquired certifications from the FDA (as well as CE and from ISO13485). Through these certifications the Ryn brand is being showcased worldwide within the professional medical arena, and qualifies globally to be applied as a medical device.

Ryn partnered with Korean Olympic Teams:

Ryn also recently reached a four year agreement as official sportswear partner of the Korean Olympic Committee. The Ryn brand will be showcased globally by Korean athletes and teams at the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games in 2010 and the London Summer Olympic Games in 2012. Ryn shoes are built as a training supplement for the world class athlete as well as a daily device for the common person.

"While walking home from Chinatown I noticed that my lower back, glutes, thighs and calves were getting a work out, which felt soo good. My walk home took approximately 20 minues. I kept the RYNs on all day until 8 p.m.  I love my newly purchased red-n-white RYN footwear. They are lightweight, stylish and mostly effective exercise footwear. Actually I'm wearing them today at work. How about that... working out while working. Again... thanks for the introduction to RYN! Say good bye MBT..."

-- Robin, DC, USA

"I have no intention of ever purchasing any other shoes than RYN and have already started to tell my friends about them."

-- Lucy, UK

"All the media is screaming SKECHERS SHAPE UPS, SKECHERS SHAPE UPS, REEBOK EASYTONE, REEBOOK EASYTONE... skechers shape ups vs reebok easytone... where to buy Skechers Shape Ups? Where to buy Reebok Easytone?... but I have found the ultimate walking machine in Ryn. For lack of better words: my Ryn Nazcas are priceless!" 

-- Jill, LA, USA 



"Here is the best feedback I can give you... I bought the first pair more as a trial to see if your claims held true...since then I have purchased my second, third, fourth and fifth pair of your shoes and I expect to be purchasing at least one more pair shortly. As your shoes arrive I give my old MBT shoes to the Salvation Army never to be seen, or worn, again."

-- Claire, UK

 

"I recently received a pair of the Ryn Sport Shoe in Grey, and love them. They make me feel better when I wear them. I definitely notice a difference in my posture and my lower back does not have aches like it use to. These are great for around the house or running errands in town. They are comfortable and fashionable too. Love them!"

-- Kim, Kalama, WA, USA

"I have been wearing my new pair of Ryn's for over a month now, and I LOVE how they make my body feel. I live in Idaho, so these are much better on the non-urban terrain I am typically walking on. I also own MBTs, and feel the Ryns are much safer for normal wear. I also enjoy where the pivot point massages my arch. This is the best designed shoe I have ever worn. Well worth the price!"

-- Amanda, Bellevue, ID



"Satisfied with quality and fit. Will order additional shoes in future. I presently own three pairs of MBTs but I think I prefer these."

-- Jessica Gardner, UK



"I love my RYNs. I just received my second pair of shoes and they too have exceeded my expectations in both terms of comfort and style. I must say, after wearing MBTs and other weight loss shoes for over a year, I like yours the best."

-- Susan Robinson, UK



"To whom it may concern: The shoes arrived... the box felt very lightweight... Thank you, I had a life before RYN and there is a life after RYN... this new life will be like walking on clouds."

-- Katherine, Ireland



"RYN walking Shoes are in a class of their own - finer and more luxurious than any diet shoes I've worn. When I first put them on, I was stopped three times by members of my walking group. Everyone's reaction has been 'those look great, where did you get them?'"

-- M. Barnes, UK

***

"I like the more refined style, not as bulky as MBTs. I also prefer the heel sensor on the RYN a big improvement more stable feeling under foot and I notice that the shoe keeps you in the correct position. With MBTs there was always a tendency to fall back in the heel while standing. I also love that the shoe is lighter than the MBT. All in All it is a winner!"

-- Susan, Ketchum, USA



"I just obtained my first pair of RYN shoes. The first pair of these type of shoes I bought about 2 years ago. The initial experience on the second pair was the same as the first; they belong to your feet. However, I am more impressed with yours and they feel better than my typical brand. I'm a salesman, lots of trade shows. The shoes are great. Fashionable and Functional. Worth the investment."

-- Louise, UK

 

"This is not just another anti-shoe, you can really feel the premium quality and 21st century technology in RYN that should be expected at this price."

-- Bill, New York, USA



"What an excellent pair of shoes! They fit so well and are extremely comfortable. I am so impressed on how well they fit without any breaking in. I'm hooked."

-- Nikki Greenwood, UK



"The Eagle has landed - the most comfortable shoes I've ever had on my feet. Incredible workmanship and quality."

-- Heather Jones, UK

***

"The shoes look good and feel even better."

-- David, Boca Raton, USA



"I have just received my second pair of your shoes and they are as comfortable as the first. I am a diabetic and have to have shoes that fit correctly, and RYN is the best I have ever had. You now have a customer for life. My dress shoes, the first pair I bought, get many nice comments on how good they look. Thank you for shoes that feel like you have been wearing them for a long time the first time you put them on. Again, thank you for a great pair of shoes."

-- Roxy, UK


"I'm writing to express my deepest gratitude to you for nearly saving my life. Allow me to explain. A little over twenty years ago, I was in a motorcycle accident. Broadsided by a pickup truck, I sustained multiple broken bones, etc. One of the wounds was a compound ankle fracture, which was reasonably mended. But even after all these years, if I have to stand for long periods of time it becomes very painful. My profession as a musician, specifically a bass player, more often than not requires me to stand. Sometimes for 4 or 5 hours at a time, also usually having to load equipment in & out of the venue. The RYN shoes you made for me are life savers! For the first time in 20 years, I do not dread the expected standing time, for the sake of my feet. Right out of the box, these were the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I look forward to the next opportunity I have to wear them. And they are quite good-looking, too. Often I have to wear a tuxedo, and the shoes accessorize nicely. Many of my fellow musicians have commented on their appearance. I've decided I need another pair to wear for the less formal gigs. Thank you for your skill & craftsmanship. No exaggeration: It has changed my life."

-- J. Conner, Ireland



"Thank you very much for the shoes. I could tell in the first few minutes of wearing the shoes that they were special. They fit like a glove, and provide perfect arch support. I am also completely satisfied with the materials, look, etc. I have been wearing MBT shoes for about a year and love them, but these look better."

-- Jane Barry, UK

***

"My RYNs are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, much better than MBTs. You have a customer for life! I will be ordering from you again."
***
-- Charlotte Griffin, UK

SOME RECENT/EARLY WEARTEST FEEDBACK VERSUS MBT

1. RYN is more refined & has a less bulky/clunky style.

(designed in Milan, Italy and developed/crafted in Pusan, Korea)

2. RYN is more stable -- has additional motion controlled feeling/effect/benefit. Has Guidance.

(resulting from 7 layer air tunnel sandwich pivot mechanism)

3. No falling back on heel while standing in RYN.

(resulting from 7 layer air tunnel sandwich pivot mechanism)

4. RYN is lighter & more compact.

5. RYN has no exposed soft materials/EVA.

(can get wet and withstand all sorts of exposure)

6. RYN ROCKS! RYN is "truly physiological" in two different levels versus the much flatter, more mainstreamed "dual board" compromise.

(like Chung Shi and as the original mBT)

7. RYN is made from the highest quality materials -- firm & durable where required -- soft & flexible where required. Certainly no extensive resoling program necessary.

(Pusan, Korea fully owned factory controlled human made/crafted production versus contracted to China and Vietnam production)

8. RYN has an amazing versatility of product line.

(fashionable dress shoes, classical luxury comfort, casual luxury comfort, sports performance, sports fashion etc. etc.)

9. RYN has more spring, is faster -- and with an energy return effect.

(resulting from 7 layer air tunnel sandwich pivot mechanism)

10. RYN has no heel slippage!

(resulting from 7 layer air tunnel sandwich pivot mechanism combined with advanced upper fit system-s)

11. RYN pays great attention to detail & design.

(designed in Milan, Italy and crafted in Pusan, Korea -- comes with extra insoles, stylishly alternatively colored laces and product brochure)

CLOSING COMMENT: Although we endeavor to constantly improve our online product presentation, online fitting and service operations... admittedly we will never quite be able to offer the equal services of a professional local brick & mortar store. Therefore, as we are so optimistic about the quality, performance and the future of RYN Footwear, we strongly encourage our customers/readers to approach their appropriate local stores and hopefully help persuade them to carry RYN Footwear themselves. In essence we feel strongly enough about the incredible potential (physiological and physical) benefits for all consumers, that we will strive to encourage and support a formidable grass roots local presence at stores that know how to introduce, consult and fit this type of high-end brand technical comfort and fitness footwear.
