These are awesome shoes. I love running barefoot and am now thrilled I can get that feel and hit some great trails!

Cuter than I expected from the picture but runs very small in length. I usually wear a 9, so ordered a 9.5, but will be returning for a 10 as my toes were bumping up against the front of the shoe.

I really like these. I have the white with blue. I have pretty much worn these almost every day since they arrived. They are very comfortable for walking and running, although I am taking it slow with the running since I am new to minimalist shoes. Probably my only complaint is that the mesh fabric is already started to pill a bit. It is too soon to tell if this will just be an aesthetic issue or if it will effect the construction of the shoe. So far, so good.

I love this shoe. Not only is it lightweight, but it has totally cured my bad feet. I have been wearing orthotics while running since I was a kid. I've been to several foot doctors and come to find out, less is more. My feet have become so strong that they don't need any support. I have no pain for the first time in 30 years.

Love this shoe! It's my first minimalist so I don't have much to compare to but straight out of the box it fit like a glove and was super comfy to run in. Debating getting another pair to keep unstinky and wear as an everyday shoe. Less is more could never be more true.

Super comfortable! No post running pain like I'd experienced w/other traditional clunky running shoes.

Excellent shoe. Does take some time to get use to running in them; need to run pose! Great for CrossFit!

I love this running shoe! It's comfortable enough to wear all day and the mesh allows the foot to breathe, so there's no need for socks. The materials that come with the shoe tell you to ramp up your running mileage since a minimalist shoe provides a much different experience than a traditional athletic shoe and that is definitely true. I already feel a difference in my lower back, knee and foot pain. I will probably be getting another pair soon!

I love these shoes for so many reasons: comfort, lightness, attractiveness. They are now my go-to pair for Crossfit, running or long walks.

Love this shoe but no arch support, Very cute on, I get a lot of compliments but what really matters is the comfort when working out. They are not a great gym shoe but they feel good when you go out for a jog. They are even comfortable without socks.

Love these! Make sure you ease them into being your primary shoe as suggested on the tag. I'm a crossfit girl and could not be happier with them. Light but supportive, I wear black under armour socks with them which are low cut and thin, but not super-thin. I feel them to be true to size.

I've been wearing Vibram Five Fingers for sailing, running, hiking. Love them, but was looking for a closed-toe shoe for overseas hiking - to not draw attention to my feet. Tried the Merrell Pace Glove first, and really loved it, except it was a bit loose in the heel. Then I tried these, and they are perfect. Look like a normal shoe, so perfect for travel, but feel almost like a barefoot/toe shoe for running, hiking, etc. Gives me the stability of being barefoot, which I love.

I love these trainers. Well balanced, good tread, decent arch and super light. They will be the perfect shoes to travel with to work out in.

These shoes are great. I wear them to kickboxing (I know...not what they're designed for -- but they're great all the same -- easy pivot) and for other gym workouts. Yesterday I wore them on a high ropes course. They couldn't have been better for that. I haven't had luck trail running in them yet, though because of blisters (I have a narrow heel and these do not). But they're insanely cute and minimalist. Great for fitting in my gym bag.

I am absolutely in love with these shoes! You can wear them with or without socks. You can run, jump, swim, rock climb... do absolutely just about any type of activity and be comfortable in them. I have also used them as booties for when I swim with my fins and the Vibram soles makes it the perfect snug fit. They are barefoot very minimal concept shoe. Start with slow use of these shoes if you have never used them before.

These shoes rock! I love them and they are comfy and well made. I loved them so much, I bought a second pair the day after I received them! They are awesome!

I run, not fast and not far, but every day with my dog. When I had an ankle injury over the summer, two different doctors independently recommended that I try minimal running shoes, so now I have these and a pair of Merrell Pace Gloves. These have a narrower toe box than the Merrells, so they fit very close around the ball of the foot, and a slightly wider heel (probably in part b/c Merrell has the elastic heel that digs in when you aren't moving). The Minimus also has a more aggressive outsole, great for trail, sand, etc, but also fine on pavement. The Merrells are lighter and feel to me more like wearing nothing. For further comparison, I tried on a pair of Saucony Hattoris, hoping for a laceless shoe, but they were too shallow in the arch for my dancer's feet.

This is a very comfortable shoe. I have worn this shoe for walking, running, and casual wear with jeans. I found that the shoe ran a bit small, so I ended up exchanging for a half size up, done easily with Zappos great customer service.
