I'm a practicing minimalist in everyday life so I decided to try a minimalist shoe.  I must say I am blown away by the comfort and connected feel of such a low profile shoe.  These are great looking athletic shoes.  If you are planning on ordering online try to find a local store to get your sizing correct.  I usually wear a 11.5-12 and I ended up with an 11 in these.
I can't wait to spend more time in these and to purchase others in this same line.  I highly recommend if you are coming from normal shoes and would like a shoe that will work everyday.
