But take note. I normally wear size 9 4E shoes. I've ordered the Minimus in the past (direct from New Balance), and ordered a 9.5 2E (the widest these get), but it wasn't big enough--they caused foot pain. With THESE Minimus MX20's, I ordered a FULL SIZE higher than I normally wear. 10 2E. And that seemed to do it. No pain. So, wide feet? Go a full size up.

If I end up having problems with these shoes later on, I'll update this description. Enjoy the video.

Notes added as time goes by:
- The shoes are so light, it's like I'm wearing slippers or water shoes.
- Ground feel is considerably less sensitive than true minimalist shoes like Vibrams, but still more sensitive than normal shoes.
- On this particular model, the circle-patterned soles don't have much in the way of traction. Very slippery on ice.

2012-07-01 - Still wearing these shoes on a daily basis. Still super comfy. Holding up well, minimal wear on the soles.

2012-09-16 - Still wearing daily. Seams, stitching, fabric, mesh--all holding up fantastic. No unraveling starting anywhere. The ONLY wear this shoes has been taking is the soles wearing down. Probably at about 50% now. Still plenty wearable, but will soon be flat, therefore no grip. Didn't really have any grip to begin with on slippery surfaces, so once the snows come, these will be put away until next year, I think. Still happy with them, still comfortable. Great for everyday life, great for working out.

2012-11-01 - With the onset of winter, I've stopped wearing these shoes daily because they're totally vulnerable to water, and (as I remember from last winter) have no traction in slippery conditions. Back to 'normal' New Balance cross-trainers.

2012-12-15 - Incidentally, I've noticed over the course of the year with these shoes, that I've developed some heavy callouses/bosses above some toe joints, and I was starting to experience serious pain/inflammation of the joint where my big toe connects with my foot. I thought I might have been developing GOUT for some reason. Now that I've been wearing 'normal' shoes for the last month or so, that joint pain is gone, and the callouses are going away. I don't think these shoes were good for me in the long run.
