    I wear a women's 12 and have been eager to try these out! Sadly, they run small, even without socks my toes are crunched. Order a size up! Wish I could, but they do not offer a size 13.

    I just have a comment on size, since I have not really used them, just tried them on inside. I find them to be true to size, when compared to running shoe brands like Nike and Saucony. I normally use size 10 (men's size) in running shoes (Kinvara, Nike Free) and I got these in (women's size) 12(2E). I have plenty of room in front of my big toe, but not too much along the side, so I think 11½ would be too small. I have slightly wide feet.

    I love how these shoes look, however, they are a full size too small. I am disappointed as I have been wearing the same size in New Balance for years.

    Very comfortable shoe. I think there is too much padding and "shoe" for it to be a minimalist shoe, which this is marketed as. However, it is a really comfortable shoe with less padding than usual and a minimal heel to toe drop. As such, I think it is a great "first step" for a person interested in minimalist shoes.

    I recently ordered these because I wanted a minimalist shoe but returned them. I wore them around the house for a day or so, no running or exercising to get a feel for them. After some time I noticed that the material that is near my left front toe peeled away from the shoe. I say peeled because it is not stitched, I was disappointed that New Balance made a shoe that was not durable. Maybe I just got a bad one. So I instead ordered Inov-8, and I am extremely happy with them.

    Love, love, love these shoes! I bought a pair from a local retailer and back to buy a second pair here while they still make this style. I am so happy to find some workout/walking/running shoes that don't have any bands or stitching across the toe box to press on my poor knobby feet! I was hoping to get white, but alas they are out in my size, so I will get another black pair for now. I wear them to the gym, kickboxing, walking, running, anywhere!

    These shoes have only been ran in twice, so I do not know what the long term wear/tear is going to be. I will tell you that they 'seem' small, but actually are not; they just fit my foot snugly. Both times I ran in them I was amazed at how fast I was able to go! They truly do feel like you don't have shoes on; they're very light! Depending on how durable they will be, I would definitely purchase these again.

    I am usually a size 5 but I needed a size 5.5 in this style. I was not looking for arch support but a flatter fit with a minimal feel and this shoe is great!

    I know New Balance tends to run short, but these were smaller than even the other NB shoes I've bought (and I've bought a bunch). I had to return them for the next half-size bigger (a full size larger than any other brand of shoe I buy). Other than that, they're exactly what I wanted.

    These shoes were true to their size. I was skeptical due to half of the other reviews saying they were too tight, but if you don't mind them form-fitting, they are perfect. I have experienced no problems with them for a month. I even took the risk of running a half marathon with them the first time I wore them, and they were great! No knee or feet issues. Very breathable, too and my feet used to heat up so quickly in my old regular tennis shoes. I also recommend getting the "D" width for those of you with wide feet.

    I was on the hunt for a pair of shoes to use for CrossFit. I researched several pairs of shoes and after reading other reviews I decided this was the shoe for me. They did not disappoint me one bit. I absolutely love these shoes. They do run slightly small in my opinion. I wear an 8.5 in any closed toe shoes but when my first pair arrived in that size they were too snug on the sides and my toes went to the very tip of the shoe. Zappos sent me out a new pair in a size 9 right away and the 9 was a perfect fit.

    Good for stability and really light weight. Doesn't have thick insoles, so it's a little rough on your feet but it teaches you to be more light footed.

    These are fantastic gym trainer shoes. I used to wear the 5-finger shoes and got tired of things between my toes. These New Balance WX20 shoes are just as good if not better for a minimalist trainer. I highly recommend.
