I have been running for years and transitioned to a more minimalist running shoe about 2 years ago.  I really liked the Nike N7 Free 5.0s.  They fit my feet like a glove and were a perfect match for me:  neither too little nor too much padding, lots of flexibility and breathability.  Well, unfortunately for me Nike's changes to their Free line of shoes have not been in my favor.  The toe box is wider and the shoe is overall roomier.  I think these changes are good for most people, but not my small, narrow feet.

I've tried a lot of other minimalist shoes from Nike, New Balance, Inov-8, and Saucony.  These Green Silence shoes from Brooks are my favorites.  They are very light, very flexible, and provide a snug fit.  I have noticed that my feet seem to sweat more in these than in my Nike Frees, but that could also be due to the Texas summer heat.

I've only run about 3 miles in them so far, but I'll probably do some longer runs in the next couple of weeks.  No issues with blisters or chafing--I just laced them up and ran.
