“Change the way you walk and change your life: With RYN Shoes” is their philosophy.
 
It all started in 1989 when a Pusan, Korea employee of a shoe factory had an incurable joint problem.  Knowing the importance of recovering and returning back to work after severe back pain, Ho Hyung Lee became motivated to create a shoe that helps muscle and joint pains as well as enhance daily functions.

RYN footwear has been recognized by its science and shoe functions in exhibitions in Germany, Spain, and other countries.  Its shoes, first manufactured in 1999, were also marketed in Ireland in 2008.  Costing $200 to $300, they are now beginning to be sold in the USA.

Athletic Walking Shoes are shoes that are designed, both in style and construction, specifically for more rigorous walking.  Athletic walking is walking that is done for exercise, sport, or physical activity.  This kind of walking differs from daily routine walking in that the distances may be longer, the terrain may be more challenging, your speed may be increased, and there may be more significant inclines and declines.

I wouldn't consider myself to be a shoe junkie. I don't absolutely have to have a particular pair of shoes in order to make my life more complete. In fact, I'm probably the most practical judge of shoes that I know. With that in mind, I will admit to a tinge of curiosity over the new walking shoes that  I've been hearing about. As far as I knew, the buzz regarding these new walking shoes resides in the claims that they are designed specifically to help firm up your thighs and rear while you go about your everyday activities. Thinking back to my teenage Dr. Scholl days, I must admit that I was a bit skeptical about the true benefit of these shoes.
