This is my first pair of minimalist style exercise shoes and I've really enjoyed them. I don't do a ton of running--more fitness classes like step and kickboxing and I just started Crossfit. These shoes have been great for me. Very comfortable and light and I haven't had any issues getting used to them. I can really feel how my foot is engaging with the ground which has been great as I've been learning Crossfit and doing more strength training. I ordered my regular size of 7.5 and thought at first they were a bit snug. But this shoe is meant to hug your foot a bit and I've actually found them very comfortable that way.

I run, not fast and not far, but every day with my dog. When I had an ankle injury over the summer, two different doctors independently recommended that I try minimal running shoes, so now I have these and a pair of Merrell Pace Gloves. These have a narrower toe box than the Merrells, so they fit very close around the ball of the foot, and a slightly wider heel (probably in part b/c Merrell has the elastic heel that digs in when you aren't moving). The Minimus also has a more aggressive outsole, great for trail, sand, etc, but also fine on pavement. The Merrells are lighter and feel to me more like wearing nothing. For further comparison, I tried on a pair of Saucony Hattoris, hoping for a laceless shoe, but they were too shallow in the arch for my dancer's feet.

I bought these and they ended up being a bit too small for the size ordered. So if you are one of the lucky people, like me, that has one of those extra long second toes, you probably want to size up by a half to avoid hitting the front edge of the shoe.

I had Vibram 5 fingers and big padded running shoes before this and would switch between them depending on how my feet felt. These shoes have replaced both of them. They did not take very long to break in and never gave me blisters or were uncomfortable. I ordered an 11 as I am a 10.5 and they are great for running. I only run short distances (3 miles). They are great shoes and every runner, gym rat, and mom on the run. They are light weight and worth trying out to see if they are right for you. I am buying another pair!

These shoes have been great for doing crossfit. They are lightweight and give me good mobility. They don't get in my way while working out like some other shoes do with a lot of padding. These shoes are comfortable, easy to put on, come in cool colors, and are pretty flexible with what you can do in them. I've had them for about six months no and can still get a lot more wear out of them. I highly recommend this shoe.

I love this shoe. Not only is it lightweight, but it has totally cured my bad feet. I have been wearing orthotics while running since I was a kid. I've been to several foot doctors and come to find out, less is more. My feet have become so strong that they don't need any support. I have no pain for the first time in 30 years.

I absolutely love these shoes! I have been running in them over a month now and have significantly reduced my run times. There is plenty of room to spread toes for better performance. They do seem to run a half size small.

I use these shoes for crossfit and they are awesome. My friend has a pair and she is a runner and loves them as well. I will say that you will need to get a half size smaller as they run big.

I love these shoes. They are the closest thing to walking barefoot. There is a grip in the heel which works great for me as I have a wide footbed and a narrow heel. I got the gray and blue combo. The gray is very light. I usually wear 9.5w in Asics but found the 9.5m fits better in New Balance.

I've been running for 9 years and last year while I was training for a half-marathon I got awful shin splints when I ran in Asics. These shoes are wonderful! When I first started running in them my legs were really sore but other then that I have no pain in my shins or legs!

When I first pulled this skirt out of the box, I thought... uh oh. Is this a tube top? But it stretches beautifully to fit my shape and surely will for many others. I love this skirt. It's very comfortable and affordable! Can easily be dressed up for a night out and also more casual with a blazer and tights. I am 5'5" size 6/8 and went with the M/L.

Skirt fits like a glove (I'm usually a size 00/0, bought this in an XS/SM), but was still able to tuck a (thin) top in. I got it in dark buff, and was worried about the fabric/color being too see through - but the fabric was thick enough. Great skirt - very flattering. Zappos quick shipping made it even better.

This skirt is great! I purchased it in black, but I'm thinking of getting a different color now. Perfect for a girls night out. The skirt fits perfect to my body shape and when I wore it everyone loved it as well. If you love to go out and look sexy, this is the skirt for you!

Versatile piece...great as a tube top or skirt! Easy to wear, fun to throw on, and always flattering to the form. Glad to have added it to my collection.

Skirt is a little tight. It's very nice but remember it is ruffled so it's a little hard to match. Fits great with basic tops though. It travels up so buy silicone spray to keep it down.

Very cute skirt, but it runs really small. I'm generally a size 6/8 and I bought the M/L of this skirt and it's really tight. It looks fine and it's not horribly uncomfortable, but it is harder to walk. It's also virtually impossible to tuck a shirt into this skirt without it bulging up underneath it.
