These Ryka's were so comfortable upon first trying on. So I have been trying to find a cross training shoe that can handle all the different classes I attend at the gym. My right foot needs a wider toe box so I have to make sure the shoe allows for that and this one totally fits the bill. I also need good arch support because I have high arches. These shoes has all the marks of being a great training shoe for me!

I am very happy with the purchase of this shoe. I was looking for more arch support and the Dash 2 really provides that little "lift" I was looking for. It is a very well-made shoe and very nicely detailed. I bought the blue color and it goes nicely with my blue workout attire. Very satisfied with my purchase!

I bought a pair of these in the Jet Ink Blue color in a size 8, which is my usual size. I am an R.N., and these will match very well with my navy blue scrubs. They are cushy, yet supportive, and I this adds another Ryka brand athletic shoe to the numerous other Rykas I have purchased over the years. I love this company and I love their shoes. The price can't be beat, and I am thinking of ordering another pair in another color to use as my "walking in the neighborhood" shoe. They are THAT comfortable!

I struggle to find shoes that fit well and are comfortable. Having a small foot with average width and a narrow heel is impossible to fit. I found this Ryka shoe to give me the best fit. It’s very comfortable and the color is not loud. This is my first pair of Ryka shoes and I will consider them again next time I’m in the market for athletic wear.

This my second purchase of RYKA foot wear and I must say that both pair of walking shoes were worth every penny spent! The fit, support, and comfort has made my feet pain free. I am forever a RYKA wearer. I feel that the best part of this company is that it is a maker of great foot wear designed and made by women for women. Thank you for my healing. A Very Satisfied Female Customer.

Perfect for my daily walk of 4 miles! And because I have a funky toe that points upward< I love the extra piece of "shoe" on toe of this style. Makes them last a lot longer than walking shoes without that, where my toes soon poke holes in top!! I love Ryka brand, this is my 4th pair. Lightweight, spongy for walking...all good!!

I bought the Ryka Dash 2 to replace my Ryka Deliberate(s) that I've been wearing for 2 years. I use them for my Silver Sneakers (aerobics for old people) classes 4 times a week. The 'Deliberate' has a funky flat-ish rubbery tongue which over time has begun to roll under from the sides as I put my foot in the shoe. The size 8-B in the Dash 2 felt a little too wide in the toe box, so I ordered a 7.5-B thinking it would provide a slightly tighter fit in the sides of the toe box. The 7.5 width was perfect, but then was too short. I'm keeping the 8's and will work with tightening the laces in the front part of the shoe. Otherwise a very comfortable shoe with plenty of length in the toe.

put these on and wore them for 3 hrs the 1st day. 2nd day wore them for 15 hrs and walked around 7 miles in a theme park. Terrific support, no feet ache, no back ache and felt terrific at the end of the day. This is my 2nd pair of Dash, just love them!

This is my 4th pair of the Dash 2 - most comfortable shoe I have found - I have high arches and do have to buy better insoles because I am walking on concrete every day - but for the price I can do that (I also reviewed the Dash 3 and am sending those back because of the cut around my ankle bone)

The 7 seemed a tad small, so I ordered the 7.5 -- perfect! (I'm a 7 in most shoes, a 7/5 in New Balance.) These shoes are lightweight, extremely comfortable right out of the box, and nice-looking. A great shoe, definitely (for me) superior to some more expensive ones I tried.

My podiatrist has recommended that I wear a mostly mesh shoe so it will expand and not irritate my arthritic feet. I find that the Ryka Dash 2 gives me that flexibility while still providing good support. Unfortunately I've been unable to find my desired color; I assume that the Dash 2 is being phased out in favor of the Dash 3, which looks like it would not provide the same level of flexibility. I would prefer that the shoes not have neon-colored trim, which is the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 for style.

This is my 4th pair of Dash. My lifestyle is simple and I wear them every day. The fit is comfortable and the color selection includes some conservative color choices. Thus far the sizing hasn't changed as it seems to have done in other well known brands.

THE BEST SHOE EVER! From the anatomical heel, soft lining, stretchy fabric over toes, to the easy lacing____it feels like I was personally fitted for this shoe!

Bought my first pair of Ryka Dash 2 shoes. At first, the one side of the shoe hurt my foot. I would take them off, put them back on and try to get the shoe positioned a little different. Not sure what caused the irritation. I thought about returning them, but then one day, they no longer bothered my foot. Now I LOVE these shoes. I wear them all day and have no problems with them. They are comfortable and I can even slip them on without having to untie the laces. I recently bought these in black, to expand my wardrobe choices. Definitely will buy again!

I love my Ryka Dash 2 - just bought a second pair after wearing out the first. I like the sleek black look and they fit me perfectly. Before I had decided to replace the ones I had, I visited with one of your customer service reps to help me decide. We talked through several sneaker options and what was new with the latest versions (all Ryka). When I was still not clear what I wanted to do, she said, "If you loved the first ones, why not buy the same pair again?" That decided it. Thanks for stating the obvious and making me happy again!

This is my first pair of Ryka shoes. When I first got them, the side of the shoe hurt my foot. I tried to readjust my foot a few times and wore them around the house for awhile. The irritation went away and these are now the shoes I wear all day, everyday. They are very comfortable and fit my very wide feet. I just wish they had the black ones in stock too.

Please with a replacement for radiant plus style. Easily accommodates an over pronate orthotic. Ordered a 1/2 size larger because of post spinal surgery neuropathy and foot pain. heel to toe height ratio valued by my superior PT. They do NOT look like old lady shoes (even though I am older). Ordered for walking which is the only exercise permitted at this time. (fyi, I ordered an OTC orthotic for my shoe size even though this is a larger shoe than my normal shoe size.)

I really like the Ryka Dash 2. I do a lot of walking and these shoes offer great support. The insole isn't a padded cushion which I have found to make my feet hurt with other shoes.

This is the first time I've found a wide fit shoe that is actually perfect for my wide toe and narrow heel. Great arch support too. I'll be ordering these again I'm sure!
