I tried on a pair of free's over the weekend for old times sake. How they or anyone can call these minimalist is beyond me. They are virtually indistinguishable next to any other Nike shoe I used to wear, other than being slightly more flexible (if that even matters).
TG and the minimus are closer but still so far away in my opinion. And the fit is so confining it really does feel like a foot coffin, actually more like straight jacket.

I am not super hardcore about going bare, but I can't stand the built up stuff they say is minimalist. But alot of folks here appreciate these shoes, and it's a big step for someone in clodstompers to move down to a pace glove.
