These are zero drop and would make great transition shoes as they have more structure than minimal styles. They feel more like Lems boulders, with more support through the arch. Great for crossfit, court sports, or fitness activities. These are much more durable than many of the other minimal styles I have worn. https://www.garagegymreviews.com/equipment/altra-hiit-xt-1-5-shoes Xero Shoes, Lems, Vivobarefoot, wide toebox
