Brandon and Damien:
Those Altras look good to me (thanks for the review Damien)- just like a KSO without the gimmick of separate toes.
The inserts are a good idea…not just for padding, but for insulation when needed.
At the moment I'm waiting on the NB Minumus to come out…wish I had more $$$ to try more shoes. Until then it's barefoot and MT101s with the KSOs for the occasional run. I was using the KSOs to run on the track at my work…but running the wet grass on the inside barefoot feels too good!

Too bad that minimal shoes are so maximally priced :(
…especially given they're all getting suspiciously close to $10 WalMart water socks.
I actually remember reading an article on Krupicka running/hiking/camping for an season in water socks.

Those I can afford, review soon to come :)
