    I've got the minimus, and the 230 (not the same but pretty close to the 195) and out of the 2 I'd pick the minimus every time. However, if you don;t need em till summer I'd hold out and get a pair of 110's

    I found this when looking to compare Merrell Trail Glove, NB Minimus & Inov8 F-lite.

    Andy, if you get chance go to Accelerate in Sheffield when you've some spare time (on a Saturday morning?) and ask them the question. They're really keen on the whole minimalist / barefoot thing and happy for you to try on as many pairs of shoes as you like and give advice. The NB and Inov-8 are very different shaped shoes (NB wide in the toe, Inov-8 much 'racier') and this is a situation where I think it's particularly important to try them on. The NB sizing is a bit odd (you might well need at least one size up on your normal Walsh / Inov-8 size)

    Not a lot of comparison going on. Looks like a thinly disguised sale pitch for one of the brands you mentioned above :closed:

    Please wait for the 110 before you spend your money, I doubt you'll regret it.
