Faas 250 by Puma

Clocking in at just 6.2 ounces, the Puma Faas 250 ($85) aims to increase your speed. Designed for short, fast runs the upper is breathable mesh to increase the barefoot sensation. The sole does provide some support, but only where designers thought it was biomechanically appropriate. For a little more structure take a half step up to the Faas 300.

Oh, you left out the "most minimalist"... sandals like the Tarahumara huaraches. 1/4 the price of VFFs, they'll fit anyone, and have the "most barefoot" feel. (they were reviewed at http://www.livingbarefoot.info/2011/12/invisible-shoes-connect-and-contact-huarache-running-sandal-review/

The yellow Asics look dope. Gotta get me a pair!

Is this advisable for those with flat feet?

I have the Merrell Pace Gloves and I love them! I tried the Vibram 5 finger shoes but my toes are weird and didn't really work with them. The Pace Gloves are a great alternative if you don't like the look of the 5 Fingers or, in my case, if they don't fit properly.

Awesome! One of my co-workers has the Vibram 5 Finger shoes! She loves them and said I would enjoy them to work out in. I guess they would work perfect with my Exercise TV workouts!
