Studio Flex Low
I just received this pair yesterday from Zappos.com (http://www.zappos.com/ryka-studio-flex-low-white-chrome-silver-angel-blue) They also offer free shipping and were comparable in price to Ryka.com.
I have to start out by saying this is the 5th pair I've tried since I received the Shock Cardio Series, including the Ryka Assist XT. I've taken some of the shoes off 10 minutes into a workout either from burning sensation or pain. I did Cardio Core Circuit today and love, love, love the way these shoes feel. I'm now anxious to see how I like them when doing a step routine. The bottom surface is smoother than a traditional running shoe and they seem to provide excellent lateral support. I even felt like I had more bounce in some of my jumps today. I have a pair of Ryka Solace's that I like, but they don't make them any more. If I continue to be as happy with the Studio Flex as I was today, I'll be ordering a second pair while I can still get them.
Hope this helps!

Every foot is different but here were my thoughts on the assist and the mid:

Everyone's feet are different...
I completely agree with you. I just happen to have the exact opposite results with the Assist XT & the Studio Flex
. I have SoftSol gel insoles, but didn't use them yet on the Studio Flex. I liked Asics Gel Volleycross, but they were too wide in the toe box. I've had luck with Asics Gel Intensity.
If you search for shoe recommendations on the posts, you'll see a lot of responses. Best advise, see what works for you!

Isn't it weird about shoes that way? I actually started thinking if there was a way for us to like digitize our footprint so we could tell which feet were more like ours than someone else's so the reviews would stick better. But I have to say, Rykas in general have been making me happy.
