NB 100 shoes are really ultra-light trail running shoes, but they don't create the same impression of running bear foot as Vibram Five Fingers do. From the other hand, Five fingers require some time to get used to, while the NB 100 are comfortable enough from the very first time of running in them.
My biggest complains are:
- NB100 are very slippery on wet rocks, which should not be a case of trail-running shoes;
- NB100 have a very short life compare with other trail-running shoes - in my case they lived for only about 150 ml.

Lightweight & superfast. Very minimilist--and are great for the trails due to the plate in the forefoot. I do hit the front of the toebox on steep downhills--but I\'ll try 1/2 size larger next time.
