New Balance MR00s are very nice for training.
Merrell Vapor Gloves are similar to Vibrams without the foolish toe slots. An improvement to be sure
Mizuno Wave Universe are best for racing.
I second the Wave Universe. It almost gives you an unfair advantage.
Reeboks CrossFit shoes are awesome and fairly minimalist.
Also great that since they're affiliated with CrossFit, they're giving back to the community via their licensing fees. Win/win.
If you are trying to ease into barefoot running via minimalist shoes, be sure to ease into minimalist shoes first. Get a lightweight pair of trainers with a low offset before you go straight into true minimalist shoes. I ran in Kinvaras and Nike Frees before moving on to real minimalist shoes like the Saucony Hattori and New Balance Minimus.
No seriously. They're awesome.

Sorry, should be Mizuno Wave Universe
I'd look more for zero-drop shoes than minimalist per se...I've had a lot of luck with Altras.
Or for a transition, run barefoot striders and do some barefoot running on fields and see how it goes before dropping $ on shoes.
There is nothing that even compares to Vibrams IMO.
