This is the second pair of Ryka "Dash" walking shoe I have purchased.  Have owned the Black & Purple for about a year and am really happy with them.  I walk about two miles three - four times a week and was looking for a lighter color shoe to wear.  Tried another brand and after getting home discovered a blister the size of a nickel on the side of my foot.  Could not find this "tan" color in a wide width anywhere (including Amazon) but kept checking back and finally located them.  Will probably order a pair of white also.  This is a great shoe for walking.
