Best minimalist running shoe?

I currently have a pair of new balance minimus that I really like other than the fact that the mesh material has not held up very well. I am not a big runner but I really like the feel and lightness of the minimalist shoes for working out and around town and when I do run. Im turned off by to much bright color in a shoe. Looking for something a bit understated. I spend some time on the water so I was considering one of the minimalist water shoes by Merrell. I do run a few times a week so I want something that is up to the task for running but it doesnt have to be a pure running shoe. Thanks in advance.

I've had my NB Minimus for a couple of years now, mesh has held up quite well...
The Merrell trail glove is solid.

Some flats (not recommended for running though)

just as hilarious as your non crossfit gifs

I know they look funny and take some getting used to, but if you want to feel like a ten year old running barefoot through the grass, get the Vibram KSO.

I like the 610 v3.
It's got some trail type grips but don't let it fool you. It's very light and sock-like on foot.
I wouldn't train in it but racing would be fun if I got fast again.

mine lasted a year before mesh started tearing but still wearable (i threw them away yesterday because they smelled like death). I did extensive rocky mtn backpacking in these with no issues. only shoes i took on 5 day trip. the most i've run in them is about 10 miles at a time. but no issues there either.

i now wear the Merrell Parrots (latest edition--the early ones had issues). Minimalist principles and lightweight but with a little more substantial body. love them for trail runs. ran the cooper river bridge run (10k) in them. felt great.

Get that man some lotion, stat.

I have the NB Minimus ones, too, and I love how lightweight they are. The material has torn in a few places, but they're several years old now. I need some new ones badly.

I have some Keens for the trail. I love them. They have last almost 2 years and held up really well, but I don't get out there as much as I would like. So light I feel barefoot, but just enough padding to protect my feet while still giving the minimalist feel.

This is what I run in. I now just order the same shoe online when my current pair wears out.

I like Merrells, same vibram soles without the goofy arse toes.

Merrell bought Vibram? I have Vibram soles on my NB Minimus.

I have saucony and they're not the crazy neon blue, red, yellow.
They're pretty minimal but i do think they do have an even more minimal shoe.
Anyway i really like them, but everyone's feet are different.
