After being really happy with the roclite 285 and wanting to take things further with minimalist running i'm now in the market for a minimalist road shoe.
Apart from the obvious choice of inov-8's f-lite 230, and VFF's i'm wondering what other options there are and what people on here are using?
I'm looking at these as my next pair of road shoes as I try to get more into this natural running malarky:

I have been doing my winter road training in these. Thoroughly recommended.
I've been running in Adidas Adizero Pros. They are one of the lightest pair of road running shoes there is and I have found them to be excellent. I use them on roads for any distance as well as off road as long as it's not too muddy. Because I am fairly lightfooted and forefoot strike I have easily done 800 miles in them and the uppers are ripped a little but they are still going strong. I normally take 8.5 in inov8s but need to go up to a size 9.5 for the Adizero Pros.
I have the F-Lite 230 and i am verry happy with them. Inov8 also have a new model with black colour, i don't know if it has other differences except the colour.
Got some adizero ace in the sale at sweat shop for £40 which is good. Very light and flexiable, a bit more built up in the heel than with my 285's or the f-lite though i hope this will help with the transition process. Then some time late summer it will be time for x-talon 190 and f-lite 195
I use Mizuno Wave Ascends for road running
I'm not an anti-cushioning nazi, I personally like a bit for comfort
