Who should buy the Great arch support
The Great arch support is for people looking for For standing all day. It also has the ability to prevent the foot from rolling in and attenuate shock. This Ryka footwear might benefit you if:
- Daily chores require you to be on your feet either walking or standing for extended periods and a shoe comfortable to wear for brace hours is what you need.
- You are looking for a walking companion that draws moisture off and keeps your feet cool and dry.
Multisurface grip
A rubber plate outsole protects the bottom of the Great arch support. This durable compound protects against abrasion. The use of mixed tread patterns provides grip on multiple surfaces.
Midfoot against overstretching
Looking at the outsole, there’s a shiny plastic in the middle. This element is the TPU midfoot shank. It stabilizes the midfoot and prevents torsion and overstretching of the arch.
Shock-absorbent midsole
Like its predecessor, the Sky Walk, this iteration also uses an EVA foam for its midsole. This layer absorbs shock. It also steadies the foot during the walking cycle.
Maximum footbed comfort
Inside this walking shoe is a plush footbed. It follows the contours of the underfoot and provides maximum coverage and comfort.
The Great arch support's breathability
The top of the Great arch support is made of mesh. This material is soft and breathable, and it delivers an overall cozy in-shoe experience.
The use of a soft mesh fabric inside the shoe helps regulate temperature. It helps wick moisture away from the foot.
Shield against abrasions
Instead of leather, it uses Flex Gear overlays, which permits more flexibility compared to the previous model that has leather overlays. They still protect against abrasion and keep the shape of the upper.
Acquirement the front, synthetic overlays form a toe cap that protects the toes against bumps and hits while walking on the concrete jungle.
Snug lacing system
Multiple factors contribute to the secure lockdown provided by this walking trainer. First is the traditional lacing system used for adjusting the fit.
The Great arch support's rearfoot
The second is the plush interior that reduces in-shoe slippage and chafing. And third is the SGS Support at the back that locks the heel down.
