Running

Ryka Trail Exodus won one of Shape Magazine’s 2010 Best Women’s Running Shoe based on its traction, cushioning and stability. Trail running shoes can be worn for more than just trail running. Road running, weight lifting and aerobics classes are great places to put their cushioning ability to the test. Tough surfaces are no match for The Trail Exodus 2 which features lateral impact points from heel to toe and an ergonomic, engineered outsole for all of those unexpected rough surfaces.

The Ryka Ascent is also an outdoor running shoe that is developed to keep debris out while still providing breathability. As with many of their shoes, it contains an Ortholite insole which absorbs impact of any surface and also helps controls odor. Additionally, the Ryka Revive is a running shoe with a high level of shock absorption, and smooth heel-toe transition. These shoes are comfortable for running, but light enough for everyday wear.

Ryka Pursuit is a running shoe for those with flat feet or problems with over-pronation to keep the feet from rocking inward and causing knee and shin injuries. It offers heal shock absorption and midfoot guidance.

Another popular shoe is the Ryka Devotion which also made the list for 2011 Shape Magazine’s Most Versatile. Not only is it extremely cushioned for absorbing impact on any surface, it also is engineered to condition the body through movement and balance using one’s own body weight. It is also considered one of Ryka’s toning shoes. People with high to neutral arches will appreciate the extra stability.

Ryka develops shoes for the moderate runner as well. These shoes are versatile enough to wear every day, and still cushioned enough to protect feet from hard surfaces. The Aspire is a running shoe with a no-frills attitude which promotes a more natural running pattern. It is built with a light platform for those who need less foot control and stability, while still providing cushioning for hard surfaces. Similarly, the Virtue is also a flexible athletic shoe with midsole foam cushioning for running or walking. It also has propulsion support for an extra spring in your step.

Walking

The Radiant is one of the most popular walk-run shoes by Ryka. It provides cushioning, forefoot flexibility and heel stability. In addition, the Radiant works with the natural movements of the body to burn the maximum amount of calories during any exercise. Overwhelming customer reviews agree that Radiant is one of the most comfortable athletic shoes out there.

Sportswalker Advance is a walking shoe made with RykaRocker technology which gives a small amount of instability to allow the body to propel forward. If you’re looking for a stylish walking shoe, the Optimum Mary Jane is a great walking shoe that can be used for training as well. It provides the ultimate flexibility and traction for any activity.

Cross-Training and Studio Shoes

The Ryka Transition earned Fitness Magazine’s Best Cross-Training Shoe for their grip, cushioning, breathability and range of motion. They received praise from FitCeleb.com as well for their flexibility in dance aerobic classes. These provide extra lateral support, secures the heel and EVA midsole for cushioned support without bulkiness of a running shoe. The Transition is made for working out in the aerobics studio whether you are doing Zumba or high-intensity plyometric aerobics.

Ryka also developed the Aqua Fit which is a hybrid water trainer for all water sports and water aerobics. It has a uniquely designed system for water drainage and dries within a few hours. These also provide cushioning, support and superior traction. Ryka’s Aqua Fit Shoe is a safe alternative to going barefoot in the water by helping to prevent injuries.
