The first pair of truly minimalist shoes I owned were Vibram FiveFingers Classics. I bought them in mid 2006 and after several years of heavy use, they were eventually relegated to light-duty tasks like mowing the lawn. To replace my beloved Classics, I bought a pair of FiveFingers KSOs (which are still going strong). I found the KSO worked very well for almost everything: walking, running, hiking, backpacking, racquetball, tennis, weight training, and just plain-old everyday wear. It became my go-to shoe for any activity in temperatures warmer than 30 - 50 F (depending on my level of exertion). To this day, no matter how many different shoes I test I find myself always coming back to the KSO.
Good Minimalist Shoe
This is a good all around minimalist shoe but the velcro straps can cause some fit issues and thus keep it from being a truly great shoe. Here is my full review http://obsessiverunner.blogspot.com/2011/11/altra-adam-review.html
