Who should buy the Ryka Felicity
The Ryka Felicity delivers style and comfort during walks. The model has slip-on construction for an easy on-and-off, while the bungee lacing system keeps the fit tight. It is a solid option if:
- You suffer from bunions, arthritis, corns, plantar fasciitis, and other foot issues that a shoe with the ability to alleviate pain is what you need.
- A walking shoe supportive enough to be worn on treadmills is what you need.
- Mobility is an issue that tying shoelaces is quite challenging for you, so a shoe with a slip-on design would be useful.
- A shoe that accommodates heel inserts is what you prefer.

Abrasion-resistant outsole
The Ryka Felicity utilizes EVA for its bottom. This material has high abrasion resistance and shock absorption.
It displays a sticky grip on different types of surfaces as well. Rubber pods strategically placed on the high-wear areas protect them from damage.
Extra cushioning
The Memory Foam insole of the Ryka Felicity molds to the curves of the sole and offers even coverage of cushioning. Its latex base deters compression.
Underneath it is a lightweight EVA midsole that delivers extra cushioning. A dual-density heel cradle stabilizes the gait of both overpronated and supinated feet.
The Ryka Felicity's upper
This Ryka walking shoe feels light and ventilated on the foot due to its custom heathered knit fabric. The toe is round-shaped and gives room for toes to splay and swell, which happens naturally throughout the day.
Its slip-on build allows for an easier wear on and off. A pull tab attached to the heel collar helps the wearer to pull it on.
Quick slip-on action
As a slip-on trainer, it does not use a closure system. Instead, it has an integrated bungee lacing system that adjusts the fit.
Supportive rearfoot
A TPU heel harness strap wraps around the rear area and delivers support. This mechanism also prevents accidental heel slippage.
