Lee, in shoes terms, besides what I wrote above, the term minimal refers to it's structure style, being obviously "minimal" in varying degrees. The most minimal being like a SoftStar with a 2mm street sole. No padding, no arch things, no board layer, as close as you can get to wearing a leather sock with 2mm rubber glues on the bottom as you can make in something that is durable. The minimum stack height, how thick hey are overall ranges from 5-6mm on up to the teens.
The most minmal ones can rolled up like a pastry and twisted and turned any way since they are so flexible.Again, think sock with a very very thin layer of rubber glued on. Yes, the term minimal has nothing to do with the shape around the toes or widths, any shoes of any structure style with or with out a raised heel can be very wide or narrow and pointed or shaped like a foot outlne, think Birkenstock for example. Again, minmimal is just a term to direct your thoughts to that style of shoes, it's not an absolute in reference to any one style or way of life. It's like any word, what does it mean ? Look it up in the dictionary and you are referred to more words, so you look those up, and they refer you to more words still. It never ends if you are looking to pin amd limit a word. Life doesn't need labels. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
