I liked the hattoris but had some blistering along the seams, a problem i often experience when not wearing socks and transitioning to new shoes.

I passed them on to a friend though and he's never been more pleased with a shoe. He preferred them over his minimus 10trails and which caused him some pain in his knees. He said he's been pain free and loves these shoes.

I will attest that they are extremely comfortable as far as minimalist shoes go. They have a sort of memory foam liner that's attached to the shoe that still provides plenty of ground feel but is very comfortable.

I'd say for their generally low cost, they're a great alternative for most dedicated minimalists.
