@deweydukine ended up keeping the 2.0 looking at potentially metcon 9s in the future.

Update: went with a pair of nanos 2.0 and a pair of X2 to try out. thanks CFsub

@neowatchman I wonder why they do this. I guess supply & demand as well as channeling the power of limited edition products to trigger the urgency of FOMO buying. That being said, it sounds like the X4 albeit wider than most main stream big names, is not the best for flat feet due to the arch...

@2suthrn thanks the input! Yes I've worn vibram five fingers and xeros since early 2010's. Had my fair share of growing pains in transitioning. those blasted toe shoes actually helped me a lot with achieving ATG squats and eventually unlocking the pistol squats. I've bookmarked the 360 and...

@softhenic The 360's look like a great option. I've bookmarked it for when Xero does another amazing sale. I really do enjoy the options that I've gotten from them albeit most were not CF oriented but more outdoor/trail/city focused. Which nanos did you end up trying?

@firstfruits appreciate the comment and opinion. May I ask what are your criteria for minimalist? 0 drop and very low stack height?

@mili haha I know the feeling. one of my best investments was a shoe stretcher to help accelerate that break in time.

@mili awesome thanks. I'm on that cusp of E and EE. I found that after wearing true minimalist shoes that foot became incrementally a smidge wider/longer. I', going to go up half a size in the X line. thanks for all the input!

@mili thanks. I'll probably end up getting one X series and the nano 2 to see which one I like. Did you got true to size for your X# nanos? I'm afraid I need to go up a half since I read anecdotes about the unisex sizing on some etc

@mili forgot to ask, what your arch profile tends to lean towards? I don't do well with too much arch support as it leads to soreness and increase sentiments of instability a la I don't feel as in control.

@mili The nano 2 and 6's were great to me. with regard to the x1 and x2, did you feel any difference between the ~4mm vs ~7mm drop? The more I read, it's not the drop but the new foam construction that feels less "grounded" than the Nano 2s

Getting back into shape again and my beloved NB Minimus are no longer suitable. Need a new shoe for my Wide (EE) and Flat Feet. I'm very partial to low drop minimalist which I've found to be more "stable" in feel for me. I'm not a high mileage runner (
