I think so – trail version will work for any surface.

If they tried to make a shoe with a zero drop it would make it impossible from most people to go into. having a 4mm drop makes it possible for some people to start down the minimalist road. They are trying to run a business…how does making a shoe that only 0.001% of people can wear make since…honestly most people dont know what they want or need and having a small heal to forefoot ratio makes it possible for people to explore this

@ Naked Runner: New Balance answered your question on their website, no need to ask the question here again. The Sports Research Lab was created only 2-3 years ago and began studying running barefoot immediately. Being a private company, financial is always the reason products get made and sold. I don’t know of a single company (maybe Rivendell Bicycles) that wants to make a product at a loss.

I have seen and held the Wellness and it is very minimal but has no way or tightening. It is like a loose slipper and has no lateral hold on the foot which could make it too loose for serious running. They are coming out with a cross training Minimus shoe next summer which looks like a great barefoot-style shoe.

Thanks for letting me know – that first video has appeared and disappeared
twice now. Sounds like they have some leaks that need to be dealt with…

I get asked about wide minimalist shoes a lot – hopefully someone will get
one out soon.

Although I’m glad to see mainstream shoe companies move towards a lower profile shoe with less cushioning, I’m just not sold on their authenticity or motivations, except financial. Fail.

I got them a month and a half from the intro date so i cant tell people what to expect and how best to approach going into them. So far I really like them. This is going to be a midfoot forefoot shoe…if you try to land in the heal to much its not going to be very comfortable. It is designed to wear without socks but I tried with socks anyway and honestly it felt better without them. The shoe just hugs your foot and seem to fit a wide range of foot types…I have a narrow foot and it felt snug where it needed to and wide in the forefoot so the foot could spread. A co worker said the same thing and he has a foot that borders on a wide. The upper allows for more expansion. Looks to be a great shoe…

Nice to hear about the wider toe box. I thought the NB100s would have a bit more room than they did. This is good news.
