I have never liked the big clunky running shoes a. because they looked lame and b. because i tended to slide all over the place in them when i was running.  So I ended up wearing Nike Frees for awhile, however, I noticed that I was pronating and sliding inward, causing blisters on the sides of my big toes.  However, I loved the minimalism of the shoe. So after doing some research I found the Saucony A4 and i LOVE THEM!!! They are light, comfy and provide the minimal, yet desired, cushioning/support I was looking for.  So if your lookin for all of the above than this shoe will be perfect for you!! I only wish they had more colors!!!!
