Brilliant shoe.  I have over 400km on mine and the cushioning feels as-new.  Love the smooth, fast transition - they definitely get me onto my toes quicker and make it easier to increase my cadence.  In comparison my Kayanos and Trance feel slow and dull.

Tiago: Unfortunately I'm not real flash at walking only on my forefeet.

Cougie: It is utterly ridiculous to suggest an minimalist shoe like the MR00 shouldn't be used for walking, foot strenghtening & gym use.  Nice troll....

If the Minimus are not to be used for walking, gym & foot strengthening, then New Balance should state this in their advertising, on the box and at point of sale.

I have a pair of MR00s for casual wear and gym use (as a strengthening tool).  The sole is already wearing fast - and irregularly.  It is part foam, part firm vibram rubber.  The hard vibram rubber is virtually untouched but the foam is already wearing away.  Thing is, the entire medial part of the heel is just foam and that section is wearing down - so they will then force my foot into a pronated position.  Dumb, dumb, dumb design, New Balance. 

I'll be looking elswhere for replacements.

Hi Hypno

 Sorry - I've had no experience at all with Saucony.  A friend uses the new Guide 5 and raves about the forefoot cushion and also likes the lower heel-to-toe drop (8mm vs the traditional 12mm)

Mizuno Musha is a racing flat designed for slight over-pronators.
