Bottom line
Ryka presents its own take on the clunky shoe trend with the Nova trainer. Along with style, the trainer also ticks all the boxes of an everyday walking shoe. Its broad base and generous cushioning have been lauded by many. However, it may not be the best option for those who need arch support in their footwear.
