Im looking for a new running shoe and I am choosing between a few different models, but first my preferences:

1. As much barefoot feel as possible

2. Can negate sharp rocks

3. Water resistaint

That said. I can take it, if the sharpest of rocks give me discomfort rather than pain.

I can sacrifice a bit of water resistance if it dries fast and does not smell awful when gotten wet.

Contenders:

Vibram:

• V-Trek
• V-Trail 2.0

Xero:

• Mesa Trail 2
• Mesa Trail WP
• Scrambler low
