New Balance Men's Minimus 10 V1 Trail Running Shoe

I was looking for an ultralight alternative to hiking boots. I've had good luck on sizing with New Balance before, so I took the chance of ordering these. Overall the fit is a little small compared to other New Balance styles. However, the sneakers preformed better than I'd hoped. First these are either zero drop or are very close to it. I felt pain in my Achilles tendons after wearing these a few days. I had to go back to my regular shoes and let my tendons heal. I went back to these wearing the MT10V1 only an hour a day in the house. It wasn't long before I could wear them all day, even doing yard work or shopping. Then I headed out to do some trail runs and hike. Eventually I changed the laces out for Lock Laces. This improved the overall comfort by a huge margin. Finally after breaking them in for 3+ months, I headed out to the Pemi Loop for a 30+ mile hike on the boulders and mud of the White Mountains. I've included a picture to show you just how rough the trail could be. During my hike I wore a 20 pound pack. Since I took the time to strengthen my ankles and joints gradually, I never once felt I didn't have enough support in these trail runners on my hike. There preformed well beyond my expectations. Amazing traction on wet and muddy rock, scree, anything. Excellent trail shoes. My only word of warning is they are quite well ventilated. It was very easy to get water seepage into the shoe. This is not a criticism. Just an observation. I will buy these again and again. They are now my favorite sneaker.

I've been flat-footed my entire life and suffered through years of people telling me I should get inserts and orthotics and highly cushioned shoes blah blah blah. These shoes are the best shoe I've come across, and I've tried a lot of them, to include my fair number of toe shoes. I have extremely wide feet due to my collapsed arches (when I say collapsed, I mean when I get out of the pool, I leave rectangles with toes on the concrete, not footprints), and these fit PERFECTLY. The toe box is nice and wide, and not a weird (probably normal for most people) angle - it's mostly straight, so my toes have plenty of room to spread out and work, instead of rub against each other. This is my second pair, and I can honestly say my first pair lasted about 2.5 years before I should have replaced them, but instead kept running them until you could see daylight through the soles. I've worn them hiking, mountain biking, into rivers/ponds/lakes, bouldering, running, and to the gym all with no problems (except for on occasion I have had a stick jab me pretty good - never enough to break through the sole, but you definitely notice things most shoes hide). The only thing they can't protect you from, and this only applies out west (I had this issue in both Idaho and New Mexico) is "goat heads" on the trail/road/etc. If you've lived out west, you know what a goat head is, and it's not uncommon for them to make it through the soles of these shoes and give you a little sting on the bottom of your foot. It's even easier for them to really get you through the mesh upper of the shoes - goat heads go through that with no issues at all. All in all, these shoes are great, to include if you have collapsed arches. They do allow the muscles in your feet to really work so your feet may be tired more often than you think, but some work with a lacrosse ball will have you back on track. Definitely recommend these.

I've owned two pair of this shoe in an older model, bought in 2015. The older model was so good I bought two pair; knowing that shoe manufacturers often change their shoes such that a great shoe turns into a mediocre one. This newer version is improved it seems in every way. They feel supportive and protective, with no heavy clunky feel to them. They are minimal, but provide just enough protection, support, etc to make me feet feel like I did when I was a kid. Free to move, but not numb to everything around me. Additionally. this model feels slipper-like comfortable on the inside. I even like the color of these (gray and bright yellow). My older version was prone to getting smelly over time if not washed or aired our regularly (hence the 2nd pair). They also seemed to wear quickly, especially the tread. Hopefully this newer model will wear better, not get smelly too quickly. Either way; I'm tossing my 2015 models in the retirement bin (for shoes relegated to working in the yard, etc) and buying a 2nd pair of these. Great shoes.

This is the second pair of New Balance Minimus shoes I have owned. The first pair has lasted me 2 years of nearly daily use, and they're still holding up. I bought a new pair in the same style and size (mens 9.5) and naively chucked the packaging upon arrival, excited to have my new pair of shoes. Two days later I put them on to wear and realized they are cut smaller than the other pair I own (exact same size). Really wish I would have exercised better judgement and tried them on before tossing the packaging. Now I'm stuck with a really nice pair of snug fitting shoes. I'm still going with 5 stars because they look great and hold up really well. I would just recommend going up a half size of what you think you would need.

Soy usuario de todas las Minimus que ha sacado hasta hoy NB y, avisado por la tienda NB y usuarios que la tienen, definitivamente estas M10 tallan pequeñas. Mi pie es tipo estrecho y mi medida en todas las NB Minimus son 27,5cm (9uk). He pediddo 9,5uk-28cm 44Eu-, es decir, 1/2 talla Uk mas y me quedan bien para lo que las quiero: para trail. Así que tendelo en cuenta si la pedís: tallan algo pequeñas.

My favorite running shoe, started running with this model of shoe back in 2014 when I started running more seriously and just kept buying the newest version whenever the old ones wore out. They're great minimalist shoes light and responsive. Granted i've never tried any other pair, but I also never felt the need to. Trained and ran my first ultra with this latest model and was sad to see that it's now discontinued and out of stock.

Excelentes tenis para correr, caminar. El mismo número fue el correcto. Quería comprar el color azul. Pero no lo encontré. Llego unos días antes de lo previsto.

Der Schuh passt sich super dem Fuß an. Tolles Lauf - Gehgefühl. Man sollte ihn nur mind. eine Nummer größer nehmen. Den Vorgänger hatte ich drei Jahre. Gute Verarbeitung und abriebfeste Sohle.

8年前にハワイでこれと同じモデルを購入、履き込んで最終的にソールが無くなる。また同じものが欲しくて買いました。やっぱり履き心地良い。
