Just an input on Topo, have had a very good experience in their Specter show, which is positioned as a performance trainer. That particular model isn't minimal though (5mm drop but high-ish stack). Toe box is fantastic though. I still love Altra and consider them my favourite brand, but if you've got any concerns on toebox on Altra models starting to get a bit narrower, shouldn't have that issue with Topo. Not tried any trail options but would be keen to.

jacdaw I was pleasantly surprised when I finally gave in and tried the trailflys. They are now my most-used shoe. I'm wearing out the soles before the uppers give way (I have had to repair a hole in the mesh where the toes flex on a couple of pairs).

Is it just me or are all minimalist shoes that still exist (of which there now seem to be much less), on the higher end of the price range? Whatever happened to the cheaper bargains I used to be able to find 😢
