Whether you're looking to try out a minimal running sneaker for the first time or just test out a new brand, the Smaat Midlander is worth considering. Designed with an 8mm heel-to-toe differential, the transition from standard running shoes you may be used to isn't overwhelming. The Smaat Midlander's mesh and synthetic upper is highly breathable, and features reflective heel tabs for night time treks. A snug fit is provided by a Japanese crafted last, while Smaat Flex tech allows the foot to move freely for a natural feeling. Designed to last, the Smaat Midlander is also equipped with a durable high abrasion rubber outsole. Priced at $90, the Smaat Midlander is a great option for newcomers to minimal runners.
