Ryn Shoes Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]
I have always loved shoes, and what better way to add a perfectly legitimate reason to buying shoes than this: they help you work out! Wow! I honestly thought this kind of thing would never be invented, but it has and thank goodness for that. I had the amazing opportunity to review a pair of Ryn shoes, and boy did they give me a workout within the first fifteen minutes of putting them on and walking around.
The pair of shoes I received are called Nazca, and they are mighty pretty! The white is beautifully complimented by a shiny metallic blue, and I felt really stylish wearing them! And for those of you who love, or need, to wear high heel shoes… these are for you. These shoes give a nice lift of about one and a half inches… while your working out, how amazing is that?
The first time I put them on, I noticed fairly quickly that there was a bit of a learning curve. The way the sole is rounded is something you have to get used to. Something I learned right away is that you cannot lean on your heels… or you will fall right on your backside. My trouble making husband found it extremely funny that if he pushed me back, I would potentially fall down. You can bet I figured out how to catch myself… and quickly.
After walking around in them for a while, as I said earlier I felt the burn almost instantly. These shoes are not heavy, yet they made my muscles feel worked. It was a great feeling although I had only taken about six steps and I was not sure if I would survive while wearing them for a whole day. Although I was scared, and a bit sore the next morning… I wore them all day and I guess I was worse off than I had ever thought because it felt like I had done about forty reps of squats with one hundred pounds on each side. But being sore is something that makes me feel great, like I had done something productive the previous day.
Thanks to the wonderful people at Ryn, we get to give away a pair of Ryn Shoes!

In a mid-life “OMG, I need to pull myself together” crisis, I joined WW and started working out again about four months ago. All good! But I’ve been having knee problems the past couple months, and I’m wondering if these would help with that, in addition to the toning! I’ve researched these, Sketchers and MBT’s, and these seem like they’d give the lateral support I need. I do a lot of power-walking, train for half-marathons, etc. Would love to give these a try.
these would help for those days when I can’t go to the track!

I am about 40 lbs overweight and currently expecting baby #2. I sure could use Ryn to help me lose a little more weight before baby gets here! Thanks!

I commented on the Hint water post.
I have a few physical disabilities which limit what kind of exercises I can do & for how long… so these sound like I could just walk around the house normally & get some healthy work out at the same time!!
If I have the chance to own this type of shoes, I would be the happiest walker in town. It will help my feet to feel better. It will also help me to have better posture and improve blood circulation in my legs.
Thanks!
Sofia.

Although I used to be in pretty good shape, that is no longer the case! While I have lost weight over the past year, my muscle tone is sorely lacking. I really think these Ryn shoes would totally help shape up my legs and (especially) my butt…thanks!
I just had a baby, so I could really use them!
ryn could help me because i hate working out, but i love to walk

I would actually love to win these for my step mom. She has back issues and therefore can not work out regularly like she would like to. She does walk regularly and these shoes sound like they can do just that extra oomph she needs!
I would love to try these out. I am so out of shape! They could surely help… Thanks!

My wife has been sidelined with a back injury for the past couple of months. She is starting to feel better now and these shoes will help her recovery.
I NEED to start getting some work out time in so these would be perfect for me because my schedule gives me little time for an actual workout so these would help while I’m running around.

They would help me get the workout I so desperately need!

I think these could help me because I am so short on time sometimes that I don’t get a good workout in. These would be nice to have just to wear around and get a workout, plus they are just cool!

Awesome giveaway!
These shoes would help me because I am about 90lbs overweight and am constantly on my feet but never have time to get to the gym so I would love to have something on my feet that help me burn more and tone those muscles…since more muscle means more fat burned!
