Remember, shoes are only one bit of the solution to sustainable and injury-free running. Personally, running form is primary and shoes are secondary. Hopefully my two plus many years of wear testing of over 150 minimal shoes will help you remove some shoes to try out with no hassles and injury-free.
Here's their email list from the top 7 minimalist athletic shoes as tested by Minimalist Running Shoes wear testers:

For those running on gnarly trails, you may want a built-in or removable rock plate. But according to my preferences and the range of situations I have encountered myself and my tight number of wear testers, from problems for transitioning to advanced minimalist running, I've enough confidence that whenever seconds of putting on a set of minimalist shoe (any category), I will tell immediately on either extreme: great minimal shoe or no-go (too near to traditional shoes). Those that belong in between will need lengthy testing but those usually become so-so.
