Summary

Great shoe for anyone looking to go minimal. Has ample protection and good traction.

Pros

Very lightwieght
Good traction
Great for running sockless

Cons

A little light in the sole for rocky terrain

I run sockless.

Fit: Wide toe box allows the toes to do their job. Heel cup is fine. Never notice anything of discomfort.

Comfort: Great seamless inner material. Lots of miles and not a single blister.

Support: There isn't much which is basically the point so if you are a pronator or supinator, you might not like these.

Traction: Nice lugs smaller lugs allow for good traction although mud will cake up on you very quickly.

Overall: I couldn't be any happier. Great lightweight shoe that can hold up for tons of miles. Not to mention the price is just right. I've gotten mine for around $70 with a discount on runningwarehouse.com.

These race-ready shoes are loaded with technical features for minimalist running performance. Nuff said, eh? Their lightweight, breathable mesh uppers are reinforced with synthetic leather overlays for excellent support, while the padded tongue and ACTEVA midsole provide unmatched cushioning for their weight. But it is the New Balance NL-1 shoe last, with its almost flat 4mm heel-to-toe drop that truly earns these shoes their minimalist status.
