Customer Reviews New Balance WX20

I love these shoes for Crossfit! I tried 2 different pairs of innovates which I did not like. These shoes are light but still provide support!

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.

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.

I really like my New Balance WX20, they are so light weight and comfortable that I thought support would be lacking. That's not the case. I can wear them all day and not have foot or need pain; which, I commonly have with other shoes. I've had ordered from Zappos on two occasions and I couldn't be happier with their service.

I love them. Super wide toe for no cramping, breathable, and comfy. I hate wearing shoes, I find myself. It taking these off!

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.

Bought these for Zumba class, but so far have been wearing them a lot just out and about. After having worn them a bit decided not a beautiful shoe...but comfortable and fairly good support. Needed a size up from 10 to 11!

I specifically purchased these shoes for Crossfit, and I love them. They are flat and solid for Oly lifting and power lifting, and the barefoot technology is good for running and sprinting as well. We do not have a rope in our gym, so I'm not sure how the inner sole would hold up against that; a friend has the new "made for CF" inov-8s with a reinforced inner sole if that matters to you. Style-wise I love them. I originally wanted the gray/pink, but these suit me just fine. I will say that they run narrow, so if that's a concern for you, then order your same size with the wider width option. I need to wear no socks or thin socks so they fit correctly, but that is my preference anyway for working out. I have a pretty low arch and bought the regular width, so I wore them around the house to stretch them to my feet a bit before wearing them to work out. I have not experienced any foot pain post-WOD. Happy with this purchase. Even lighter than my previous NB shoes and functioning just as well, if not better.

I bought these shoes specifically for crossfit. I have a slightly wide foot. I am glad I ordered a wide. Good shoe for weight lifting, and still gives me enough support for some running. I would not buy them to only run in. Love them so far! I previously wore vibrams for crossfit, but I was looking for something between a barefoot shoe and a tennis shoe. This is the perfect combination.

Excellent shoe - so light and comfortable. I felt I could easily continue exercising all day. I wish they came in better colors though.

Great shoes! Extremely comfortable and light. Bought these to do cross-training and running after my Nike Shox were no longer supportive. Highly recommend.

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 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.

A note about sizing: Should have listened to the other reviews that said this shoe runs small. I ordered my normal size (a 10) and my toes were pushing out the ends of the shoes. Order up in size and probably a full size up. Otherwise I think I would have loved it.

I love the NB WX20! I bought (8 1/2 Wide in black) these specifically for CrossFit. I tried the Inov8 because all my friends raved about them; however, they felt/looked cheap (especially for how expensive they are) and they don't come in wide fit. I wore the New Balance around the house for the first night and then wore them to Crossfit in the morning. The shoe was very comfortable and I forgot I had them on when I got home. I switched from the NB running shoe to the minimus and burpees are much easier when coming out of the push-up stance to the jumping stance. Also, I feel more balanced wearing the minimus shoe when working on strength training. Highly recommend!

The shoes were unbelievably light, so much so that I was worried about their effectiveness in my kickboxing classes. I didn't have to be - while my toes bumped the front a bit on the first wear, every workout since then has been great - I really feel more stability using these shoes than my previous pair.

I really like this shoe. It is very comfortable. I usually wear a 7/7.5, but always buy an 8 for athletic shoes. This shoe fits more like a 7.5, but has plenty of room for toes to spread out. I have a Morton's Neuroma and I do not have any problems wearing the shoe. The shoe does come with a warning about injury because of the flat minimal support of the shoe. I almost sent the shoes back because the warning is so severe and tells you to wear the shoes a little at a time. I am glad a kept them because they are very comfortable and I already wear flat shoes because of the Morton's Neuroma.

I love these shoes. They fit well and are so light. Everyone who runs should have a pair.

Like many of the others, I ordered these for Crossfit. I've been using them for a few weeks and I'm a big fan. We've been doing some running (and I am so not a runner!) and I have no foot complaints...just running in general. They don't get in the way and I don't even notice my feet, unlike clunky running shoes. The toes seem to curve in a little more than seems normal to me, looks weird but doesn't cause any comfort issues. I saw the 737's elsewhere online (which look identical but half the price) and now that I know the fit and size I may order those as backups.

I have a pair a wear jogging and another pair I wear around all day. Great shoes! Besides the black/blue the colors are meh, but finally, I have shoes that don't hurt my feet! I love the wide toe box and that there is no strapping/support over the top of the toes.

Love this shoe! It is lightweight and flexible. Perfect for any cross training exercise. Zappos is amazing. I first ordered the shoe to small and emailed to see how to exchange. Within a few hours, they were already shipping me then new size and sending me a return label for the big pair. Mind you....this was all within a 24 hour span. Love!

Love these. I wear them to Zumba. Very comfortable and light!

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 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.
