Made for Women. The First. The Experts.
OUR STORY
By women, for women. We were the first brand ever to create athletic shoes specifically for a woman’s unique foot shape, muscle movement and build. And we’re the only athletic shoe company solely dedicated to women.
It’s a mission we’ve always believed in and celebrate every day. Because there’s strength and joy in a world that’s made for us. And we deserve nothing less.

rykaQ TECHNOLOGY
Our game-changing tech is based on the "Q angle," the inside angle of the quadriceps muscle that is 3-4% greater in women than men, which impacts a woman's stance and weight distribution on her feet.
STEP INTO STRENGTH
We are proud to be the #2 walking brand in the country, led by our top-rated Devotion sneaker series. With innovative performance technology proven in lab testing for impact protection and stability, plus the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance, the Devotion series is a go-to for everything from her daily Rykä Girl Walk to casual wear. ![](/-/media/project/tenant/caleres/caleres/brands/ryka/fa24/image4-fa24.jpg)
