When I wore this shoe around the house for an hour or so, I could feel the top of the toe box rubbing on my little toes. When I removed them, my little toes were red. Why? There was plenty of width, but the material across the top slanted down over the outside of the toe box cutting off the little toes. Also, the inside of the toe box is not lined and the seams are rough. My older pair of Rykas is lined and so are my Sketchers. Ryka is cutting costs to keep the price down, but most people would pay more for a quality shoe. Unfortunately, these shoes are going back. Sad.

This is my 3rd time buying the Dash 3! I’ve worn out three previous pairs because I’m a nurse and wear them 5 days a week. I cannot find any other shoes that allow me to use my custom orthotics and are comfortable as well. I have ended up retiring each previous pair due to wearing a hole in the shoe where my little toe is but do feel by the time that happens they really have given me my money’s worth! I ordered 3 pairs this time and am thinking of ordering a few more to put away just in case the style is discontinued. These truly are the only shoes that work for me being on my feet all day with ongoing bouts of plantar fasciitis.

Zappos has a great customer service! I needed shoes that you could take out the insoles, add my orthotic support, and then replace the insole for additional foot comfort. After working with Lavinia in customer service for over an hour trying to find the right shoes, she lead me to the Ryka Dash. I bought them and my feet are so happy! I found them to be comfortable immediately! If you are in doubt, like I was, call customer service and they will lead you to the right one. Thank you so much Lavinia!!

These are cut differently around the ankle (higher) than the Dash 2 and don’t fit me as comfortably as the Dash 2

I finally have found a shoe that fits my feet. I have been hunting since Reebok stopped making wide shoes--which fit me perfectly. My normal size is a 9 W but I have found that in most Ryka shoes I require a 9.5 W. These shoes are actually wide enough in the toe box and also have enough depth to give me plenty of room. The bottoms are cushy but not too much. The arch support is just right for me. It also has a removable insole if I ever needed to add an orthotic. The heel is not much higher than the forefoot (as is the current syle in most athletic shoes); that's great for me because the higher heel height aggravates my big toe arthritis. Unfortunately I got the last pair of 9.5 W in any color; otherwise I would have bought other colors, too. Oh, great price, too, especially after trying NBs that cost $150 and hurt my feet.

I have been wearing RYKA sneakers for 18 years now. They fit my foot better than any sneaker on the market. They wear well & the price is reasonable.

I ordered the Ryka Dash 3 (8.5 Wide) when my Dash 2 sneakers finally wore out. I have problem feet, and these are VERY comfortable for my WIDE forefoot (with a bunion on one foot) and typically narrower heels, along with a high arch and high instep. I find these to be very supportive and are my go-to shoes for long walks. My Dash 2 were black w/ light blue trim, so for a change I ordered gray w/ pink trim. I'm not much of a pink person, but I like the bright contrast, and there's not too much of it.

This is the exceptional Dash 3 Walking Shoe that Ryka stopped making years ago. And though I only use and love Ryka; nothing has ever fit as well since. They bought it back and it is fabulous. I wear them everywhere in addition to when I exercise. I have arthritis in my knees and the cushioning is perfect. The medium doesn't pinch my front and the narrow back stays on. They grip and support my feet. Dash 3 is back and that's why they are sold out.....because they are the best.

Returning because the new Ryka Dash 3 doesn't work for me - pressure on my bunion from the seam. I have been wearing these sneakers for many years and am disappointed in the change. I replaced it with the Ryka Skywalker . It doesn't have as much arch support but it will work.

The support for my arthritic knees and arthritic ankle is superb! The medium is perfect for the bunions in front of my feet and also fits my narrow heel. I use these for casual shoes and for exercising. They are sensational!!!

I usually wear an 8 wide, those were too big so I sized down to a 7.5 and I am so glad I did. Great Ryka shoe, plenty of room in toe box where I needed it without being too long. Great support

These are very comfortable. I am a large woman and spend a lot of the day on my feet. When I got these, I could tell immediately that I had been in need of new shoes for a while. I felt the difference in comfort and support. I have been wearing these 5-7 days a week and would recommend them for anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet. They also feel as if they will last a while.

The shoes arrived in just two days, fit perfect, and looked great. Raining outside so I just wore them in the house, but very comfortable. Can't wait to wear them outside. Never heard of Roka, but glad I tried them.

I ordered 2 styles of Ryka shoes at the same time. The Dash 3 fit like a glove. The length on the 6D was perfect and room in toe box for my bunions. I had to exchange the Ultimate for a half size larger. Zappos always makes things so easy. When anyone asks where I get my cute shoes I let them know about Zappos.

These Ryka Dash 3's fit my feet like they were custom made for them. They have a sllightly-raised arch pad which is exactly what my feet need. The toe box (I ordered the wide width) is bunion-friendly and the stretch fabric very comfortable. And I think it a cute style.

I consistently wear a 7 1/2 medium and these sneakers fit perfectly. I don't run but I like them for exercise and walking. I have worn Rykas for many years and they are consistently comfortable and supportive. I have tried other brands, including Vionic, but have yet to find any that fit better. I don't love the bright pink liner on this model, and would prefer an all-neutral colored shoe, but it's a small compromise. Overall the shoe is attractive, the fit is precise and it's a great value at half the cost of some other brands.

Ryka Dash 3 I walk every day and have tried many brands. But I stop with Ryka Dash 3 sooooo comfortable. I have a high arches and the other brand weren't working. I went to a podiatrist who said I needed a better shoe or arch supports , which I tried, but no luck with them. The I went to Zappos found these and talked to with a rep and she said she wore these. Glad I did they have helped,now have Happy Feet !

This is a cute and comfortable sneaker. I have been looking for just the right walking shoe as we walk about 2 miles per day. These will be great for that purpose. As always, Zappos has excellent service.

These shoes are very attractive and comfortable if you like a high arch. They were less comfortable to me than the Ryka Skywalk so I'm returning them and keeping the Sky Walk.

Very comfortable shoes! For a white mesh wide shoe it has some good style to it. I can only buy wide shoes but these felt a little wider than other wide shoes I have purchased. Definitely a good summer sneaker.

I have worn these for about a week and I love them. I walk on old dirt/gravel roads and love the support I get. With my old shoes (Sketchers) my ankles tend to want to roll when walking on rocky surfaces...not with these Ryka's! I thought the sole was a bit stiff when I first put them on but was amazed how the sole could feel so supportive but yet be so flexible. Oh yeah, I can't say enough about the roomy toe box. Normally I have to order wide shoes or wear a man's shoe due to having a bit of a wide foot. These had plenty of room in the toe in the medium width but yet no slipping or sliding in the shoe. Awesome! I gave them on 4 stars over all because I would prefer a little higher arch support (I have really high arches) but I am impressed enough that I am going to get a second pair for everyday wear.

I really like the comfort and fit of the shoe but not crazy about the silver cloud color. I was expecting them to be more grey and they are a weird color, almost taupe looking. I’m keeping them because they are comfortable and I was looking for a good walking shoe, so they satisfy that need. I’m considering ordering another pair in a different color. The arch support could be a little better, but it’s not bad.

Unfortunately, I will be returning these shoes. The M width is too tight even when I wear thin socks. I was going to wear these shoes for casual wear, not running. I will order a larger/wider size.

I love this Ryka shoe and have ordered a pair several times. I just use them for my six mile treadmill walk. Never outdoors, this pair stays clean! Great fit, and very light weight, I love the mesh. The wide is perfect for my wide toe box. I was forced to get white, which I didn't really WANT but you can't have everything............
