The Fall 2012/Spring 2013 Minimalist Shoe Round-Up Posted by Meagan on July 6, 2012 No Responses » Jul 062012 Howdy! Hope all of our U.S. readers had a great 4th of July, and that our fellow Midwesterners are managing to beat the heat that continues to plague us. We got a run in on Tuesday afternoon, and it was brutal outside–I don’t know how you Southerners do it! Thanks to the soaring temperatures, and now that we’re about halfway through summer, I’ve been starting to look forward to fall, cooler weather, and, of course, the first releases of a whole new batch of minimalist shoes! There are a lot of exciting new styles, and updates to existing styles, such as new colors and laced versions, coming out from many of the major minimalist shoe companies this fall/spring. So, I wanted to put together a quick list of the upcoming shoes I am most looking forward to. Click through to check it out!

Married in a Minimalist Style Posted by Steve on June 11, 2012 1 Response » Jun 112012 We’re back! After two weeks of wedding preparation, our wedding, and our honeymoon, Meagan and Steve are finally back and ready to post. Before we get into all of the things we missed while we were gone, we’d like to fill everyone in on how we celebrated our marriage and how the last two weeks have been influenced by our love for minimalist shoes. As you can tell by the picture on the right, for our wedding, I went with one of my favorite pairs of shoes and rocked the Vibram FiveFingers Speeds, while Meagan found a pair of Merrell Barefoot Life Wonder Gloves that matched perfectly with her dress. The event took place in our current hometown of Madison, WI, where the ceremony was in the Frank Lloyd Wright Unitarian Meeting House and the reception was held in the Overture Center for the Arts. The following photos were taken by our fantastic photographers from Amelia John, Jennifer & Andrew. The night went off without a hitch (or with a hitch, ha…ha….ha…) and we were able to sneak some of our own minimalist surprises into the event. More pictures after the jump!

Staying Warm and Staying Minimal Posted by Steve on December 18, 2011 No Responses » Dec 182011 For those of you who run in Vibram FiveFingers, and, like Meagan and I, are going to attempt to brave the great outdoors this winter by continuing to run outside, this post is for you! Yesterday was a bit of a reality check for both Meagan and I when we headed to Milwaukee to lock down a DJ for our wedding. We found, to our surprise, when we pulled out of the underground parking garage of our apartment complex, that we had finally received some snow! I didn’t think much of it at first, but as we pulled up to the gas station, I shivered because I realized I was wearing my Vibram FiveFinger Speeds and knew that my toes were going to be soaked in an instant. The second I stepped out of the car, the wet pavement took over my helpless shoes. I knew at that moment that we were going to need something more substantial (but still minimal) to run in during the treacherous winter months of Wisconsin.
