This is my second pair of Minimus Trail Runners...and while I don't run often, they are a great overall, all-around shoe for everyday activities.  I often wear them when walking/jogging with my dog at the park, on trails and pavement, taking him to the dog park, or just about town.  At home, I live barefoot, so these allow my feet to feel quite comfortable and free, while still being protected from the elements of the ground (sticker-burrs, rocks, snares).  I find that while they aren't "cushioned" like most other runners I have worn, they are remarkably well-formed and fitted for arch support, but with minimalist restriction of toe-movement.  For those who complain about the snug fit, hopefully the ordering a half size up is a fix.  I typically wear a 6 or 6.5, but in these I order a 7 (learned with my first pair, and reading reviews), and find wearing them without socks to be the best fit possible.  For those who prefer socks, perhaps adding another half size is appropriate.  For those who complain of smelly shoes after a day or two wearing them barefoot, I have also found that washing the shoes in the washing machine on a gentle cycle and air drying on a drying rack can have them bright, shiny (my first pair were white with blue accents) and freshly scented, ready for another week of wear!
