I'm a big fan of Merrells and Clarks, have been wearing those brands exclusively for at least 10 years. So...trying a different brand was a big step for me. I had no idea just how big a step it would turn out to be! I ordered the Rykas on my sister's advice, they arrived and I put them on. Haven't taken them off except to sleep. Haven't worn any other pair of shoes for two weeks now and will be ordering more of the Ryka Dash quickly - before the style is discontinued. I have a high instep and wide feet. Finding a shoe to fit that combination is very difficult, but these are perfect. The contour to the foot bed (as Ryka claims), lines up my knees and hips in such a way that I feel no fatigue whether I'm puttering around the house or doing ranch work. The fit was true to size, the comfort was immediate with no break in period, and the price was excellent! I won't throw away my dressier Merrells and Clarks but the Ryka Dash is my new, one and only, sneaker/walking shoe.

I love Ryka; they are a consistently good shoe! (But they do run short, so I always size up a 1/2 size or 1 size.) These shoes look cute on and are comfy. They are not too bulky on the bottom like a lot of athletic shoes. They price was very good. I would recommend these and all of the Rykas I have worn!

Not a fashion statement but a very nice, comfortable shoe for people who "use their feet." There is a nice support in the heel as well as arch. I work on my feet 10-12 hours a day and these are keepers.

I purchased one pair of these sneakers yesterday...primarily for exercising...and just ordered a pair in the two other colors this style comes in! So...do I like them? Absolutely! Just finished a 5K on the treadmill wearing them. They are lightweight, comfortable, give good support, allow your foot to breathe and, if you have a wide foot which I do, they are great! Not a lot of sneakers that are comfortable and look stylish in a wide width. These are and do! When you find a sneaker (or any shoe for that matter) that's comfortable...buy multiples! You won't be disappointed in this fit!

Ultimate in comfort, lightweight, good support, looks nice on big old feet like mine. Like them so much, ordered a second pair.

What I love is that these are truly vented. My feet were cold when I wore them but it is winter here. Perfect for me, since usually my feet get hot.

Love these tennies! They are cute and comfy! I do wish they had a little bit more sole or padding on the bottom as I am starting to walk more to get back in shape because I am overweight, a little more sole on the bottom would help. They do run a little narrow too.

The shoes are great for exercising at the gym and in classes. I would not recommend them for running or long walks as they do not have much cushion.

These are my fifth pair of Rykas. I got them for an upcoming vacation where I will be doing a lot of walking. I am pleased that they are a little less bulky than my other current pair, while still being supportive and super comfortable. Great for long flights where your feet tend to swell. I bought a half size up, also.

I just purchased my 6th or 7th pair of Rykas and I love them! I can put them on right out of the box and walk for miles without any discomfort - there's no need to "break them in". Great shoes! They do run a little small - I usually wear an 8 - I ordered an 8-1/2.

Love this shoe. It is very comfortable and has plenty of room in the toe box. And I think it is nice looking. I'd order this style again.

These Ryka shoes are so comfortable. They are the best shoes I have had for Jazzercise. My knees and hips don't hurt any more. They are cushy. There is plenty of airflow, so my feet do not get too hot.

These sneakers at great. The only drawback for me is the lack of arch support. I use them for the gym only and after an hour on treadmill, arch achy.

The inside of the toe area has rough seams that are not sewn very well. So they rub on your toes. They are light weight which is good and they are breathable. I purchased the same size in blue and they were a lot larger, so I had to send them back.

I had to return two pairs of these. The first was too small (when ordering up 1/2 size). The second pair I ordered up one full size, and I was excited when trying them on that they fit...but after taking a couple steps I knew something was wrong. The left sneaker was completely defective. The entire pattern/design was shifted towards the instep resulting in uncomfortable seams across the pinky toe area, and causing the wearer to constantly step off the insole to the inside during normal walking. The right sneaker was very comfy, but when you look at them side by side and compare, the left sneaker is definitely off center by at least 1/2 inch - 1 inch. I was looking forward to trying a new brand for walking shoes, but I will definitely not be reordering a third pair.

Love this shoe. I have flat feet and a narrow heel and am hard to fit, but this shoe is a perfect fit. I had to get 1 size larger than my street shoe size.

I have the Ryka Revive and like them. The Dash is better for inside; the sole is smoother. They work better to "Zumba." I ordered a half size up to accommodate socks. They fit great!!

These are very comfortable shoes for walking. They are well ventilated and not for rainy weather, but are good dry-weather shoes. I wear these with thin socks, and a size 11 with thick socks. I love Ryka shoes! So great for women's feet, as they are wider up front with a narrower heel.

I really love these shoes to work Jazzercise in! They are lightweight, roomy in the toe and have lots of cushion for impact. Also great built-in insole support.

Bought these shoes for walking around Walt Disney World. Not only were these shoes amazing, comfortable and fit perfectly, they are extremely light weight. Great price and would recommend to anyone looking for a walking shoe.

Great shoe. Very lightweight and comfortable. I use them as a work shoe for my job at a busy hospital where I am walking all day. Will purchase again. Love Zappo's best place to buy shoes.
