[pct-l] NB Minimus 1/2 off until midnight

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

I just discovered the NB 730. I think it is similar to the Minimus. I  
found it at Sport's Authority for only $60. Practically zero-drop  
(3mm). Soles are not super thin but they are very minimal. Very  
generous toebox with no arch support and a nice snugness around the  
foot so you don't slip around. Has the minimus <=> logo thingie on  
the inside. For street running but I wore them on a backpack trip on  
trail that wasn't too overgrown (most of the time) and they worked  
very well. Sadly, these ARE going to be discontinued. I hate shoe  
manufacturers.
