Dipper Mar 2011 12:24pm, 10 Mar 2011 359 posts	0 Dipper A new thread, where all efficient schools of running can come together, enjoy discussing all the new minimalist shoes that are emerging and then ask eL Bee if he can sell us some of them. I'd really like to get my hands on a pair of New Balance Minimus (http://www.google.co.uk/images?q=new+balance+minimus&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&sa=X&ei=dMB4Ta2JN4aM4gbOoaShBg&ved=0CGUQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=867) just for the prettiness of them if nothing else They don't seem to be available anywhere yet though.

The pilotlight Mar 2011 2:13pm, 10 Mar 2011 2,881 posts	0 The pilotlight I had a pair of asics that were for squash I think, they were very light and little sole and heel. knacked my legs. but it's often worth looking at other sports..
Beardy Mar 2011 3:17pm, 10 Mar 2011 60 posts	0 Beardy I wear my 5fingers around as much as possible. Haven't really run in them yet though. Love my f-lite 230's and my x-talon 190's. Like slippers!
