It seems the a minimalist running shoe, like with most things, has its benefits and drawbacks. One can find experts on either side of the debate: ones who tout the benefits, and others who believe the traditional, cushioned running shoe are more beenficial. It seems to boil down to personal preference. If a person is already considering the minimalist running shoe, he or she likely already knows that it can benefit a persons stride and should give it a try. I am of the opinion that running is rough on your feet, ankles, and knees and thus require a cushioned, more traditional shoe.
