I've run a couple 1/2 marathons in New Balance running shoes. After trying many many brands on treadmills, I always go back to NB. The fit is just good for my feet over any other brand.  Recently I've switched to the MT110 for trail running and it is MY perfect shoe. Love it. Since then I've purchased the MX20 for cross training and the MR10 for road running. When I saw a Minimus leather, I had to get it, and I'm glad I did. These will last a long time with every day use.

Pro's:
- Light, like wearing slippers but extremely durable
- Proven Vibram sole
- Waterproof suede leather uppers
- Roomy toebox
- Well constructed and will last a long time with every day casual use

Con's:
- Little snug around my midfoot
