Customer Reviews Ryka Dash 3

For some odd reason this shoe in the color rather than white ran larger. I ordered 2 pairs of the same size thinking maybe it was a factory producing issue but no, they ran like a 1/2 size larger. Again this was NOT the case with the white one's - they are perfect

Something about these shoes just did not work for me. I felt unbalanced. Maybe they just do not have the stability control of Brooks, Saucony, or New Balance.

Zappo's Customer Service and return policy is Great. I bought these shoes the same size as an old pair of Similar Ryka shoes, but these were to big, slipped on my heel. The color 'pink' was more viberant than I liked.

This brand seems to run small. Narrow in toe area...very little arch support. The memory foam felt great...just to small.

I've owned the original Dash (loved them!) and Dash 2 (didn't care for these!) in the past, so I had no problem trying the Dash 3. I felt they were true to length and width and had the arch support I love in Rykas. But for this pair, I felt as though the space necessary for my high instep was not the same as previous. If this had not been an issue I definitely would have kept them. Also, I return to Ryka again and again for the "Anatomical Precise Return Footbed." It's unparalleled in my opinion and, for me, so much better than the memory foam liners.

Love RYKA, great fit. But the mesh top is too see through. Summer pedicure with bright colors showing through thin mesh , looks like my toes are in prison & want to escape ! Don't like socks in summer. Sorry.....RYKA has changed the styles of their walking shoes. Thank you Zappos, your return service is great. I'll keep looking.

I originally bought a pair of these in blue from a store. Size 10 fit me perfectly. I ordered a pair in grey in the same size and it was definitely 1/2 to 1 full size too small. It's the same style shoe - just different color! There shouldn't be that big of a difference. The original one I purchase in blue was one of the most comfortable shoes I've put on in a long time. Hoping to get another pair that actually fits. Gave 3 stars because there is a problem with consistency in sizing.

I have both Ryka Dash 1 and Dash 2 and have loved them. Most comfortable walking shoes ever. However, I am so incredibly disappointed in the Dash 3. The quality is just not the same. The materials feel stiffer and the arch support is nothing like it is in the earlier Dash 1&2 designs. I will be returning the shoes and probably will not order Ryka again.

Very uncomfortable. Felt as if I had boxes on my feet.

These had an odor of dampness and mustiness to them, as though they had been stored for a long time in a damp basement or garage. They felt very hard and uncomfortable under the heel.

I have been wearing Ryka for many years - at least 15. The sizing and style are not as reliable as they used to be. I take a wide and even going up half a size I cannot be sure now that it will fit. That is the case with this athletic shoe. There are seams on the outside right below where my little toe is - that is the widest part of my foot. I could instantly feel the pressure and I know a corn/callous would form pretty quickly so back they go.

My first pair of walking shoes were the Rykas Dash 2, and I loved them. However, they only lasted one season before the soles under the ball of my foot were worn down - the durability was disappointing. But because they were so comfortable and fit me so well, I went ahead and ordered the Dash 3. For some reason, the designers decided to put a weird, high collar with two "peaks" at the back of this new version, and it is rough, stiff and uncomfortable. They rub my ankles on both sides of the achilles to the point where I can't continue to wear them unless I want to wear band-aids or moleskin. I have walked many miles in these, hoping they would soften up, to no avail. I may have been better off ordering a half size larger, as others have noted, but given that they are the same brand and same style, it didn't cross my mind that the sizes would change. I am now stuck with an uncomfortable pair of shoes and had to buy another pair of shoes for an upcoming trip where I will be doing a lot of walking. I'm going with Vionics this time.
