A great shoe that I will buy again
I think the difference between using these shoes and some racing flat with nothing between your foot and the road is that these shoes provide cushioning. A flat doesn't. With these shoes I get a very flexible shoe with no support, but I still don't get beat up by the road.

Why bother (2007-01-31)

This shoe has design or quality problems
The concept is good, but why would anybody bother with this shoe. The heel is way overbuilt for what it wants to accomplish. If you want to learn to run with a more efficient stride, then find a minimalist racing flat. Find something with a minimal heel.
