New Balance Minimus Trail

I love these shoes. They fit like a glove and are just super comfortable all around. Two days ago (Tuesday), I used them for my warmup/cooldown on the track. Then I took them out for 4 miles on the trails in the evening. Yesterday, I took them out for 9 miles of about 65-70% trails. I expected to finish with achy feet, but this didn't happen! The ground feel is outstanding - almost as good as Vibram Five Fingers, but without the pain associated with stepping on rocks or gravel. I also appreciate the ample forefoot space, which allows my toes to splay on impact and adds to the comfort.
