It looks like Saucony wants to be a player in the minimalist shoe world!

Somnio Nada might be the closest.

First, don’t force a forefoot strike – if you are running on your toes it is
too much. Also, you need to be very gradual, let yourself adapt slowly.
Focus on increasing turnover and shortening stride rather than pushing a
forefoot strike, think about putting your foot down behind you (doesn’t
happen, but a useful cue). Pain is a signal that either something is off or
you are forcing things too fast – hard to say for sure without seeing how
you run.

Interestingly, my Kinvaras have very little wear, so it’s going to vary from
person to person. Wear happens more from friction than from direct impact,
so scuffing causes it. Could be either upon landing or at pushoff. I just
picked up the Hattori at the Boston expo and I like it a lot – super light
and hugs the foot.

They were very minimal but were guaranteed to give you blisters being that proper fit was never their goal. If it wasn’t for that I would have stuck with the inexpensive aqua socks. These look to be great for longer runs as compared to Vibrams.

Gait asymmetries are not uncommon, I suggest that if you are concerned
that you consult a physical therapist.

I would tell you that if you plan to switch to a flat shoe like a Vibram and
continue to run 7-8 miles per day in them, you will likely wind up hurt.
Some things can’t be rushed, and the body needs time to adapt. Wait until
you have time to make a slow, gradual transition.
