text: The shoes are comfortable and stable, but I had hoped for more ground feel.  Out of all the minimalist shoes I have worn (Vibram FiveFingers, Merrell BareAccess, NewBalance Minimus), these have, by far, the least ground feel.  For that loss of feel, they don't make it up in cushioning, though; it's a solid sole with very little compression-wise give.  I cannot wear them nearly as long, comfortably, as I can the Merrel or NewBalance.<br /><br />I wouldn't get them again, but there is nothing particularly wrong with them.
