I have done some reading, and I think I'm going to try the Merrell glove, either the trail or true, or both. from what I've read, they're quite comparable. The true as slightly lighter, but the trail appears that it might be slightly sturdier. I do hiking as well as public performances, so maybe both. A bit of a price tag for minimalist. Why is it that we're paying more for less? I'm still curious about the evo ii, but after my disappointment with the longevity of my vivos, maybe I'll pass for the price. Plus, there's no terra plana outlet in my neck of the woods - Los Angeles.
Great site, and very helpful.
