HeeftyGlad to know I wasn't off the mark. I've been rocking a pair of Lems Nine2Fives, and am really enjoying them, but was looking for a more "active" style shoe. I didn't know about Topo and kind of really want that Sante now, haha.
SolecsI love Topo shoes. I have been using an older generation of Topo (ST) shoes this year and can honest say that they are the best designed shoe I've ever had on. I could go on and on about them, but it's really better for people to try them out. I've tried a few other brands and been disappointed by most as far as longevity.
I've been running minimalist for a few years now. I will never go back. It's a painful transition from "traditional" running shoes but in my experience well worth it. bmath is right on the money with the "easy ... into them" advice. In my experience the muscles that you haven't been using with "traditional" running shoes are the hard part rather than the joints.
