Best minimalist shoes? page

[ryan54]

I train pretty heavily as a baseball player, and I think it's time to switch to minimalist shoes. I was looking at the NB Minimus Zero and the NB Minimus 20v2 Cross-Training. I like the zero drop, but was curious how they would hold up with a lot of movement exercises, sprinting, and heavy lifting.

My NB Minimus are holding up pretty well. I tried doing some running in them and something about them caused ITBS in both of my knees. I have gone back to my VFF which have not caused me any issues. So now the Minimus has been relegated to weight lifting duty and casual shoe.

I love my Vibram Five Fingers.

I love my Vibram Five Fingers.

Same here.. tried bouncing around to a couple different minimalist shoes as they have come out (all with zero drop) and always end up back in a pair of VFFs.

Just picked up the Vibram Komodosport's and love them already!!

Ok I've got:

MT00
MT20
VFF KSO
VFF Bikila
Merrell Trail Glove

Absolute favorite shoe: VFF Bikila it does just about everything. It's my walking shoe, running shoe, lifting shoe, hiking shoe, trail running shoe.

The MT00 is good at one thing though, trail running. Very light, good grip, just enough protection for nasty trails. It sucks in the gym, road running or cross training. No real lateral stability, actually somewhat unstable shoe. So I do wear it for nastier trails.

I quit wearing the Merrells, they don't seem to conform to the foot as well, gave me some toe pain.

I love Altra's minimalist line. The Adam and Eve, The Samson and Delilah. I'm barefoot almost always, but when I'm not (serious trail running, obstacle courses, etc.) these are it. Gender specific build, great construction, awesome ground feel, flexibility and ventilation.

I wear vivobarefoot EVO's.. I just can't get used to the toe "finger" feeling..
