Indeed, not just forefoot (which most companies seem to think is at the ball of the foot only), but also the toe box. GUYS! Look at what Altra did with their toe box and stop assuming we all have bunions!

Very excited to hear your take on Merrell’s new offerings.  Both the running and barefoot life lines look very interesting.  Really want to hear what people say about the new road glove.

I’m getting a preview of Merrell’s new offerings this weekend, they are right up there with NB as far as minimalist goes. Those two are setting the bar high!

The MT10 will remain unchanged and will still be available in 2012.

Anyone know of any other color ways for the men except for the pink

I am in love with the free, but winter is cold, slushy, icy, and snowy here, and I run partially on trails, so I think I need something more durable and erm, less meshy because it’s freezing and wet!!! (are all minimalist runners totally fine with running in Bikram’s in snow!? Isn’t it kind of cold!?). So I have looked at the Minimus MT10 and it looks great, except for the freezing wet post slush puddle experience I will not doubt have. The 110 looks a bit better, but only if as comfortable as the 10. The merrell’s run wide, so I haven’t tried them on, but interestingly, their site has much different shoes for women than men- the barefoot models are different, and the gore tex option isn’t even there!! What’s up with that!?

I can already tell that the MT110 would be a far better shoe for me than the MT00, especially if the wide size isn’t wide in the heel. Also, I’ll have to try on the MR00.

As a faithful MT101’er I look forward ot the MT110’s I am sure a price point hasn’t been released but I can only hope the 110’s are as affordable as the 101’s.

One thing I’ve got to make sure though, is the forefoot width.

Yep, that daylight concerns me, and it is the one big issue I have with the Trail Glove. The lateral margin of the foot is in contact with the ground when we stand on it!
