Minimalist Racing Flats are no longer being made —— Sad Days

You might like some of the Chinese brands for comfort. Alternatively, the Reebok float ride run fast pro if you want to be a total weight weenie. It has no plate and very little cushioning, and is basically weightless.

I've a few things in circulation at the min but nothing quite hitting the minimal spot.

altra escalante racers v2 (i think) which feel very stiff for altras. Not sure I like them.

saucony fastwitch which do the trick but are a little small

Inov8 roadfly zero. Much bigger than the old school inov8 road shoes but they're ok.

Adios adizero PR - these are full on minimal and make me realise my ankles are deconditioned to it!

Thanks for this review. I'm looking for something to replace the discontinued Saucony Sinister. The puma liberate nitro didn't cut it.

I didn't buy or actually run in them, but the ST-5 felt great trying on in the store.

Not totally minimal, but I got the NB Pvlse discounted at about $50. I think it's a 2mm drop and quite low stack.

Try the Inov8 Roadfly Zero.

Run Fast Pro was discontinued years ago.

Nike Rival Waffle 6?

Adidas Adios 9 albeit not real minimalistic,it is a surprisingly good shoe.

Looks like its been about a year since I've posted. I'm down to my last 3 pairs of streak lt 4s. I expect by the end of summer, they'll be done. I've done a few runs in the mizuno duel sonic 4 - but its just not the same, it doesn't have the pop the streak lt has, I guess. I've been wearing this shoe for almost all training since 2019, and I'm honestly kind of scared to switch shoes, but I guess I'm going to have no choice very soon.

I want to try the Joma 4000 if it ever comes back in stock, but its being marketed as a racewalk shoe, s who knows if its decent for running.

but a major overhaul of the hyperion tempo. Why can't they release the Hyperion 3 but still maintain the qualities of the Hyperion Tempo???
