I've been trying to find a decent cushioned straight lasted/slip shoe that doesnt feel like there is a brick tied to my foot. I've tried on the brooks dyad, and the NB 882 and didnt like either of them because of the clunkyness. Ideally a shoe that has alittle bit lower profile and more minimal would be awesome. right now i have my doubts that a shoe like this even exists but maybe someone on here can steer me in the righ direction.
I guess you are flat footed, but biomechanically efficient? So is it correct that most semi-curved lasted shoes are too narrow in the midfoot? Have you tried something like the Mizuno Wave Rider or Asics Gel Cumulus in a wider width? I know it might give you extra room in the toebox, but that isn't necessarily bad. I've had good luck fitting people in the Cumulus EE width (it isn't that wide), but it fills out the midfoot a little bit more.
try the NB 1061 or the asics fortitude. both are less clunky, although I believe the fortitude has the straighter last.

Yep stipe you hit the nail right on the head. good call on the cumulus in the wider width I think i'll try that out.
Brooks Beast...............pretty minimalist shoe for lightweight, fast, efficient athletes
