Minimalist Shoes
Shoe reviews on a barefoot running website?!? It is our philosophy that no shoe is the best shoe. However, there will be situations and conditions that warrant the use of shoes. We view shoes as tools. Our goal is to help you decide which tool best fits your specific needs. All reviews are conducted from the perspective of a barefoot runner that likes to run ultramarathons.
I’d recommend using this method to find the ideal pair of minimalist shoes:
