Well, my answer to everything these days seems to be Lems. I don't run minimal, but lots of "natural" runners wear Lems Primal, and I just adore mine for daily wear. Blisters between your toes suggests your shoes are too narrow for you in the toe box - Lems are nice and foot shaped, and unlike most brands, I only have to go up one size in length to accommodate my #9 herring boxes (wait, those were her shoes, not her feet, but you get the idea). Toe socks would help too. My toes are too long for VFFs, and honestly it seems to me that the sole of the Primals is more flexible than the VFFs anyway.
I've got a pair of size 41 VFFs, not sure which model but it's one of the earlier ones in the sort of "Mary Jane" style, a bit stained but not worn much, yours if you want to try them.
