I love Ryka and wanted to like these shoes, which seemed to be the closest to the Radiant they discontinued.  THEY ARE TERRIBLE.  There is a squishy pad under the very edge of the arch and another under your toes, but otherwise, it's one step above walking barefoot, no joke.  I was walking around my house barefoot doing chores and then put these on and realized I can feel almost the same amount of hardwood floor through the shoes.  Absolutely do not buy if you have any history of foot trouble like plantar fasciitis.  The little arch cushion and under the toe thing might be kinda nice if it was on top of the standard insole in a Ryka shoe, but these aren't going to appeal to anyone who didn't just get tired of looking weird in barefoot shoes.  I'm really disappointed.
