I hike in trail runners but want to try the minimum trail shoes like five fingers.  This product seems to be a great intro to minimum shoes.  I understand that I must proceed slowly to build my feet and legs up for hiking and trail running on "bare feet".

I have low to mid arch and medium width feet, not narrow but not too wide either.  I ordered a size 7 (my usual trail runner size) and a 6.5 (my shoe size).  7 seems a bit too loose.  these kind of trainers should be snug for the no sock option.  I decided to stick to 6.5.  I can wear double layer running socks, sockless, and even put a pair of superfeet 3/4 insert with these trainers.

they certain take some getting used to but hopefully i will be able to wear them to walk on cobble ston streets and hard concrete because they will be the ideal travel shoes - light weight, packable, and good with skinny jeans and khakis.
