I have a pair, didn’t really do much for me. Fine for walking around, probably not much to worry about. Would not run in them.

Either way I suppose.

Hey! 
I can give a little review of them. 
I was given a pair of the Be this week to wear test and analyze at the clinic. It’s certainly got the look of a running shoe and this may cause confusion and tempt people to treat it as a running shoe. They are a very light, nice generous fitting last and upper for me. I was pleased to see that the toe box is more of a true anatomical shape that leaves both good width across all the metatarsal heads as well as not squeezing the toes together. This is essential for good alignment to the great toe and its stabilization efforts. The ridge that allows the toes to drop, flex and engage the foot’s intrinsic muscles is very interesting. I notice a difference more when I stand in place with respect to balance and my foot’s position in the shoe. It becomes less noticeable when walking.They are stiffer than I was expecting. Torsionally have a more semi-rigid midsole. It isn’t a typical soft EVA foam but more rubbery. At a 6mm drop I thought I would notice the heel differential. It feels quite flat overall. There is no heel counter aside from a small plastic external counter around the back of the heel.I think, after a few days with them, I wouldn’t expect people to find the ridge distal to the met heads very comfortable to run with. During a discussion with the rep who provided me with them she made it clear that the shoe’s durability is not made to take running mileage. The forefoot portion past the ridge is completely soft (kind of like the Hattoris) and I’d expect would break down fast if someone ran with them.
I am enjoying standing and working in them and haven’t had any discomfort with respect to foot, arch or metatarsal fatigue or pressure. I think those that wear low drop casual shoes such as VivoBarefoot, NB Wellness, or Merrell Barefoot would like these.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info – google is not a great translator :) Unfortunately, if you look at a lot of the Nike Free ads, it was not intended to be used for heavy running either, and the Vibram Fivefingers were a boat shoe. What is suggested and what happens do not always match up. I fear that some folks may try to run in these with that insole…my gut feeling is that it’s not a good idea.

“Completely new to Mizuno is the “activation” line named “Be”. There will be 3 color schemes for women models, and 3 for men models. Price 110€ . The goal, as by all natural running shoes is to strengthen the calf and feet muscles with the ultimate objetive of correcting the posture and sink the injury rates. The model is made of vegetable/plant fibers such as the Waraji Sandals (which were shorter than the foot). The inner sole is flatter close to the toes, thus allowing the toes to move freely. The construction is quite flat with 9:3 mm. The drop is low 6mm. The shoe weights 200g in US 9 size, such as the competition, a lightweight shoe. Be should pickup the Mizuno natural running shoes lineup and it is mainly thought as a show to train the muscles, aside from normal running shoes. In 2013 the assortment will be expanded. It isn’t as there weren’t enough Fußtrainer ( shoes to train the feet) but every company and every new model in this class, pushes this topic forward. The revolution in the running shoe deparment comes with “Rollen”. We are excited. [I am not sure what they mean with this, literally ie means rollen = to roll, Rollen = rolls, I believe it has something to do with the sole]

Just realized that my title said running – my mistake, as I wrote the title before I read the translation. Changed it to footwear.

 Thanks for the translation, much appreciated!
