The MT101 is also a reasonably moderate step, and it has a
heel-forefoot drop double that of the Peregrine. Both are good
choices. Be careful with this VFFs!

OK, thank you for reminding me that the NB MT-101 has a bit more heel to toe drop.  Perhaps I was confusing them with the NB Minimus Trail or reviews that I read about the NB MT-110.  So, at this moment it seems like the Peregrine is closer to what I’m looking for (or at least until the NB MT-110 is available – 2012?).  Or… I can get the NB MT-101 and have the heel shaved down.  ???
As you can see, I’m still a little undecided.   ;)

Btw., your reviews are so thorough and helpful — I suggest your site to friends when they’re looking at changing to a new running shoe.

I’d say get the Peregrine now, and by the time the MT 110 comes out
you may be ready to buy a new pair!

It’s not so much that you can’t use it on roads, it’s just overkill – pretty
solidly lugged. Definitely not too firm though.

I’ve tried lacing the shoes in various degrees of slack but I always get that constrictive band feeling on the outside of my left foot. If I’m running anything longer than 5-6 miles its almost impossible for me to continue without basically slacking the laces to nothing mode to finish. There is no way I could even do a half in these. I have no such problem in any other shoe I own. The NB MT101’s are the best fitting and most comfortable shoe I’ve ever had on my foot. It’s like my own foot with a small bit of cushion. I really really wanted to love the Kinvara but it just doesn’t work for me. I need a new trail shoe and I know the MT 101 covers everything but the La Sportiva trail shoes seem to be calling my name from the raves of my Ultra running buds. Thoughts?

The addition of a midfoot support bridge provides motion control, while still allowing the runner to enjoy the advantages of a minimalist shoe.

Glad they’re working out! I’d also love to see a version with a bit less
midsole.

Whilst I find the fit is the same, to me on the run they feel like much more shoe due to the fact that the sidewall and sole are more substantial and stiffer. When holding them alongside the KInvara and flexing the sole the difference is big.  So in my march towards minimalism I would definitely say that these are a step in the opposite direction. Maybe I was expecting too much in hoping for it to feel exactly the same as the KInvara, but without the ice skating properties on steep trails….?

Ordered a pair along with the Kinvara’s and cannot wait to try them. I think given that I’m making the transition this sounds like it’ll fit me well!! Fingers crossed!
