From what I have seen, the Hattori may offer a tiny bit more cushion than Vibrams, which is what I want for longer runs. It also appears to have a more foot-shaped design, ala the Altra Instinct, which I like. I would try that shoe, but I think would Nike Air Vapormax Mujer be more underfoot than I want. It seems like the Hattori might be a great compromise between the Bikila and Altra, as far Nike Air Max 720 Mujeras zero-drop shoes go. I know you will be writing a report on the Hattori, but what do you think about the width of the toebox thus far?Also, the black/green Hattori looks downright awesome.Had I known they would be on-sale at the Boston expo, I would have given my friend who ran Adidas ZX 850 Femme some cash to score a pair. I got my Bikilas in a similar on marathon Monday last year.As for the Kinvara, I am really starting to dislike mine. I ran in them twice last week and they felt clunky, as if the flat, inflexible sole was controlling my footfalls too much. It is tough switching from the Bikilas to the Kinvaras without noticing that. On a 5-miler yesterday, the sensation was bugging me so much that I just took the Kinvaras off Nike Air VaporMax Femme and ran the last half mile barefoot. I can’t help but thinking that a part of it has to do with me being a slower Adidas Stan Smith Femme runner (9-ish miles). It is easier for me to get a good, clean, mid-foot landing when I am moving faster. They may still work for tempo runs.I was having some issues with the laces on the Trail Gloves.  Mine are ridiculously long.  I had to double knot them, which I have never had to do on any other shoe.  I also had to fuss with them a lot to get the right combo of snug and loose where I wanted it.  Yesterday, Adidas Falcon Dames I saw a Yankz in a KC area running store and decided to give them a shot.  They are basically elastic laces with a cool little fastening system.  Set up was easy.  So far, I really like them.  They make getting the shoe on a bit more difficult, but because they stretch, they make the shoe fit a lot better.  Now, they feel almost slipper like across the tops of my feet.I hope Merrell refines the inside of the Trail Glove Adidas Ultra Boost Womens with the next go around.  They are comfortable, but mine have a weird little flap of material on the outside about in the middle of the shoe.  If I’m not careful, it can get folded back and be a little annoying until I fix it.  I think Pete mentioned something about this being addressed with the Sonic Glove.  Also, the outer edges of the tongue can fold over, causing discomfort after a few miles.  It is easily fixed,Adidas ZX 750 Womens  but it could be a bit more finished.  
The only real issue I have with the trail gloves is some minor pain on the outer edges of my feet.  This is not the fault of the shoe.  I think it has to do with they way my foot and the sole interact in that area.  My foot seems to be ever so slightly wider than the sole.  After wearing them all day, my feet can be a bit tender on the lateral edges.I bought a pair of Trail Adidas Superstar Damen Gloves about a month ago and have had mixed emotions since then. On the one hand, I agree with the vast majority of this review: they are a very well designed minimalist shoe and I’m certainly going to use them to improve my efficiency and legs/foot strength. They’re also a nice alternative to Vibrams for people, like me and FoCo, who have funky toes. However, the one huge flaw seems to be the Vibram soles. I live in Hong Adidas NMD DamesKong, a place that actually has lots of mountainous trails, but a place that is also very moist, with ridiculous humidity. I find that the shoes simply don’t have enough grip, and it’s common to slip around on mossy rocks (even if it hasn’t rained in a day or two).  The other trail shoes that I run in (Solomon, Hoka OneOne, Montrail Rogue Racer…etc) all seem to have adequate grip (probably due to more lugs?).Adidas ZX Flux Mujer  So, I’d recommend that they sacrifices a few tenths of an oz. to guarantee better grip. As it is, I’d afraid to really run fast with them, especially on downhill technical sections.
