Reviewed at New Balance

First, I should mention that I read too many reviews, and a few claimed that the shoe is narrow; therefore, I order a "wide" version. Although I am enjoying the Minimus, I do not think I needed the wider version. That out of the way--the Minimus is light, fun, and provides reasonable underfoot protection. The traction is good. They wrap around the feet like slippers. Breathability could be better for summer running, but they are perfectly suited for fall and the winter weather we are currently in. Most important, they allow a quick turnover and greater trail feel, very different than a higher stacked shoe. I'd argue that they are also more stable for more technical trails; however, your feet will remember most of the roots and rocks. Overall, a decent replacement for my beloved Skechers TRL, and a little more forgiving than Merrell's Skyfire 2, which are great, but I would generally prefer the comfort of the Minimus.

No shoe, very lightweight & great traction but absolutely NO cushioning in the foot bed. My son said he could feel every single thing he stepped on
