Overview: minimalist running shoes

Minimalist shoes are defined by the small amount of cushioning underfoot. There is little to no interference with the regular movement of the foot as they are designed to closely mimic a natural barefoot running style whilst still protecting the feet from hazards like sharp objects or rocks.
