Editor's Notes
December 12, 2018:
A few of our picks straddle the line between barefoot runners and minimalist trail runners, but in reality, there is very little difference between the two. For instance, the Merrell Trail Glove 4 are barefoot-inspired, but it hardly matters, because they are essentially the same thing with a slightly different aesthetic and profile. Regardless, for those set on the Vibram 5-Finger style models, we have included a fair share, because in truth, they are still among the best on the market, even after the initial hype and novelty has died down.
