There is nothing wrong with maximalist running shoes (ie the Hoka One One's)
There is nothing wrong with minimalist running shoes
It all comes down to two things:
1. What feeling you prefer to have under your foot
2. What injury history you have (maximalist vs minimalist encourage different gaits that load tissues different --> all depends which tissues that you need to load less)
Everything else at this stage is just rhetoric and propaganda.
I run 2-3 days a week in Hoka Ones and 2-3 days a week in NB Minimus's and 2-3 days a week in various "traditional" running shoes ( and wear my MBTs to work 2 days a week!)
