As I quest to make a foray into the world of trail running while in Japan I recently purchased my first pair of trail running shoes. Picked up a pair of the New Balance Minimus shoes after reading about them in the Runner's World special on trail running. Love the look of the shoes; ordered in size 14 and it's kind of pushing it but I guess that an initial run will let me see. Love the ample toe box; toes have plenty of wiggle room. One thing is that on the inside of my big toes there is a good centimeter of spacing which at first feels weird but that too will require observation on the trail. The shoes have a Vibram bottom and a low, roughly, 5mm drop so they are not for heel strikers at all. It will likely take me a while to experience the shoe but I look forward to it.KeepRunning!
