The Minimus is growing on me - the material around the heel has soften up and no longer feels like ti may cause blistering and I don't really notice the slight heel raise (4mm) anyore. I'm hearing lots of comments on the heel to toe drop (most not liking it) and wonder if this will be addressed of left as is to keep it as a minimalistic shoe that's close to barefoot rather than a true(r) barefoot shoe such as the Trail Glove from Merrell? My guess is that they'll leave it as it is in the next addition.
The Trail Glove will be my shoe of choce for this weekends 50k and it will be my longest run in minimalistic shoes. But lots of taining in the Vibrams (VFF) - including the Baltimore Marathon in Bikila's - leave me feeling fairly confident.
Aside from a growing confidence in feel and performance I have to say the the Minimus is one sharp looking shoe!
