Until I can try them in a retail store I will just read reviews.Notlehnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17988908.post-69022029195837165562009-10-30T08:04:21.860-07:002009-10-30T08:04:21.860-07:00P.S.

Probably 70-80 on the leather version. No issues with durability so far, but it&#39;s still early.Donaldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13588564145315857856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17988908.post-61191856066569560662009-10-29T11:15:59.304-07:002009-10-29T11:15:59.304-07:00Donald,<br /><br />Great review:<br /><br />How many miles did you run in them? <br /><br />cheers<br />DougDougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17988908.post-59631277897935720872009-10-28T21:07:14.088-07:002009-10-28T21:07:14.088-07:00They look very promising to/for me.

There&#39;s also consideration of the shoe comfort and overall quality, as well as the whole &quot;natural motion&quot; aspect of the shoe that add value. And like I said, there&#39;s always a small segment of the population that&#39;s willing to pay top dollar for a high quality product.<br /><br />Tuck: ECCO makes no claims to be a minimalist shoe. That&#39;s a whole separate category, so it&#39;s like comparing apples and oranges. Better to compare them to other &quot;transitional&quot; or natural motion shoes like Nike Free or Newton Gravity.Donaldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13588564145315857856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17988908.post-34120519724918374872009-10-28T08:28:11.799-07:002009-10-28T08:28:11.799-07:00Do they offer a matching yak leathered white belt to hold up my mauve colored pants which I wear with my smashing purple, open-to-the-belly-buttoned-shirt-to-highlight-my-gold-chains-around-my-neck disco ensemble?Spokane Alhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14322733412232169837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17988908.post-21696789789683456902009-10-28T08:12:45.324-07:002009-10-28T08:12:45.324-07:00That&#39;s some shoe!

A minimalist shoe should have: no heel lift, no cushioning, and a wide enough toe box to allow splaying of the toes.<br /><br />It looks like they&#39;re missing on two out of three... although it&#39;s tough to tell on the last one.Tuckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09455436946187786398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17988908.post-50505043758308152482009-10-28T05:30:10.683-07:002009-10-28T05:30:10.683-07:00$220.00.....and 1.5 times longer.<br />New Balance 769.....$90.00...buy 2 pairs for $180.00 and last 25% longer than the $220.00 pair and save 40 bucks....I&#39;m just saying.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12782182419685153100noreply@blogger.com
