If you wanna go more "minimalist" for shorter races, an amazing 5k/10k shoe is the Brooks T5 racer (6.6 oz?). I just bought my second pair and highly recommend them. They fit like a glove and I feel like I can fly in them. Even more minimalist are the Adidas PR (3.8 oz), but I don't recommend those as they are too flimsy and don't fit as well (my feet, at least). PS - another great long distance flat is the Adidas Mana. Amazing fit, comfort and a little lighter than the Bandito.Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12560215835485195866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1944651196634693150.post-13859546290565355502009-03-23T08:16:00.000-07:002009-03-23T08:16:00.000-07:00I like to treat my Zoots as racing flats. Great for Sprints! Like you, however, anything more than that and I need some cushy stuff in shoe!Weshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11399853707178925175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1944651196634693150.post-13336486814898472452009-03-20T20:47:00.000-07:002009-03-20T20:47:00.000-07:00great review thank you.i've never bought a pair of 'race shoes' but i'm thinking about it. and given that i'll be south of our border, i may look into these as a race shoe. the fit will tell. (of course, if i buy these and i don'trace a PR i'll just blame my shoes!)Runnrgrrlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08025778307103998889noreply@blogger.com
