Merrell Trail Glove vs. New Balance Minimus Trail Review

Merrell Trail Glove vs. New Balance Minimus
Two minimalist trail shoes simulating a barefoot running style are being released this winter to major hoopla (the Merrell Trail Glove in February and the New Balance Minimus Trail in March) and I was privileged enough to receive a pair of both. Rather than review these shoes separately, I thought it would benefit discriminating readers and potential purchasers to compare and contrast the shoes as well as their relative performance on the trail."

Introduction page: "There are many schools of thought on how to train for a marathon. In my 35 years of experience I have found certain programs that, while they may be helpful to get the runners to the cross the marathon finish line, they make the training so time consuming and arduous that few people want to go through the experience again. That isn't to say that there isn't hard work involved."
