With the exercise and fitness markets growing by leaps and bounds every year, it’s amazing that there has yet to be a popular company that appeals just to women, not just men’s items in smaller sizes.
Enter Ryka, an athletic clothing and shoe company founded by women FOR women. That means the fit and comfort means just as much as style. Plus with plenty of moms out there wearing athletic clothing and shoes outside of the gym (I’m guilty!), it’s important to find stuff that doesn’t scream “gym rat” when you’re walking through the supermarket.
If you’ve struggled finding the right pair of running, walking, and/or cross-trainers that fit your foot and look fabulous, or you’re looking for some new workout digs that have a bit more style and comfort, then Ryka just might be what you’ve been waiting for.
So 4o of our bloggers have been putting Ryka’s new line of running and walking shoes to the ultimate test. All of our moms workout in some capacity; we’ve got marathon runners, triathletes, and stroller walkers in the mix. We all know kid wrangling is exercise in and of itself, but we wanted to make sure these shoes hit the pavement, treadmill, or grass so we could offer the most accurate reviews possible.
If you’d like to get your hands on a pair, make sure to check the Ryka site starting September 5 where they’ll be giving away 50 pairs of shoes a day through October. And we’ll be giving away a few pairs of our own in the coming weeks. So make sure to add our feed (blog.parentbloggers.com) to your feed reader so you don’t miss a chance at FREE SHOES! (Or send an email to parentbloggers@gmail.com to be on our mailing list — we promise no spam).
