Ryka Kailee review

Who should buy the Ryka Kailee

The Ryka Kailee is part of the brand’s series of walking trainers designed for everyday wear. Made of breathable mesh to keep the foot fresh and lightweight sole unit for cushioning and traction, this walking footwear is a solid choice if: 

• A shoe with lasting comfort suitable for walking, commuting, and running errands is what you prefer. 
• You need a walking companion with ample forefoot space to accommodate feet with bunions. 
• Your fashion taste leans more on the classic style. 

Grip for various surface settings

The trainer employs a rubber compound to protect the underside of the platform. It also features lugs of various sizes to provide grip for walking on both indoor and outdoor surfaces.

The lug under the ball of the foot serves as a pivot point. It allows for smoother changes of direction. The unit is also lined with strategic cut-outs which enhance flexibility.

Shock-absorbent midsole

The foot receives continuous cushioning from the full-length EVA foam midsole. Despite being lightweight, this material is capable of absorbing the shock upon each step, keeping the lower extremities safe and comfortable.

The foam is thicker under the heel to offer more cushioning upon heel strike.

The forefoot section is created thinner and more pointed up. It allows the foot to bend easily while also creating a rocker-like transition for the foot when walking. The Anatomical Precise-Return footbed is added inside the shoe. It is contoured to the shape of the foot to deliver an extra layer of padding and comfort.

The Ryka Kailee's breathable upper

The Ryka Kailee makes use of the mary jane design to mix style and performance. The shoe is created to be lightweight and breathable with its open instep and mesh material.

Supportive overlays

There are synthetic overlays added around the toe and at the heel. They enhance support and durability in these areas.

The fit is secured by a zig-zag fabric strap. It has a hook-and-loop mechanism and a Velcro component to fix the tightness.
