looking for minimalist hiking shoes/boots

[HighwayTrout]

I have a pair of Merrell Trail Gloves. They are awesome and are very much a minimalist shoe with zero drop and no padding except for the Vibram sole. It took me some getting use to but now they are my go to running shoes. They are essentially Vibram 5 fingers without the individual fingers for more of a "regular shoe" look and I found them to be more comfortable.

Look at approach shoes..
I am on my second pair of Five Ten Camp Four and they have been great for hiking, riding and walking on wet rocks around creeks ...
