I don't see the Adam on the Altra website. Were they discontinued?
I received the Vivobarefoot Ultra and One from 6PM. Initial impressions on the One are good. They seem even more minimalist than the Aqua Lites. The upper is thinner. There is more flexibility where the sole melds into the upper, making the whole shoe feel more flexible. They are a bit narrower by perhaps 2-3mm, probably not a big deal for most people. I haven't run in them yet, and don't have any plans to at this time. (Barefoot is best!) Then again, I shelved the Aqua Lite for several months before putting a few hundred miles on them.
I noticed on the Aqua Lite that I've managed to wear down the outside edge of the heel a bit. I don't recall heel striking, but apparently did a few times. It's amazing that even thin minshoes will promote heel striking. I switched back and forth between barefoot and the Aqua Lite a good amount and fortunately my feet were able to make the transition fairly well.
I got the Ultra without the liner and it's a bit big. I'm going to order a size down and see how that goes.
