Ive been wearing minimalist foot wear for about 10 years now.  Not only are these the most comfortable pair of minimalist foot wear I own, they are also the most minimalist.  Is that an oxymoron?  These literally fit like a glove for your feet, so keep that in mind when ordering.  I normall wear a 45 in vibrates I ordered a 46 and Im so glad I did.  The 45 would of been way too small.  I use mine at the gym from weight lift, TRX to yoga.  With that said I dont, and I cant recommend wearing these outdoors much.  These would be great for men that are already used to minimalist foot wear, I do not recommend these for beginners.  Dont worry my barefoot beginners, I recommend you start with Vibram five fingers m4485 Treksport to start & build your way up to... or is it down to? Minimalist foot wear.
