Anybody wear minimus shoes for running? How do you like them, are they hard to get used to? Heard they make running more natural and even correct some issues like plantar fascitis (sp?)
opinions?

    I have the MT20RB2 Minimus 2s that I bought a few months ago for use on mud/obstacle runs. I have used them for a tough mudder and two other mud/obstacle runs and like them a lot. They are very light weight and help with traction. They do take a little getting used to, but I only wear mine for these races and a few times when I trained in similar terrain so I can't give you much advice on how they work for normal running.

    Based on my experience, I think they would be fine for use on trails or a grassy terrain, but if you run on concrete a lot, they may not be too fun to run with as they don't offer any real support and don't even have the plate in the bottom (why they are more natural). My brother purchased the Minimus MT1010s and his seem to offer a little more support. I'm not sure what the difference is, but it may be worth looking into if you are looking to buy a pair. Both of us like our shoes.
