Was looking for the Ryka Dash walking shoe in the tan color and I could not find the size I needed.  Purchased this Avia in the tan color for walking approximately two miles at inside track.  Unfortunately, I developed a blister after the first time I walked with them.  The look of the shoe is very attractive and I love the dark and light brown shades.  They are light weight and do not make your feet look big.  I will have no problem wearing them to run errands in the car but will stick to my Ryka Dash Walking Shoe for my morning walks.
