Customer Reviews New Balance MX40v1

Like these they are comfortable use to where the other brand names but New Balance is what's up I left weight heavy at times and like that the fit snug and not to loose or to tight. And they are also good for my cardio work as well.

I've worn these now for two weeks, and can honestly say they are the best trainers I've had. I they have the perfect blend support and cushion while still being "minimal" . Only open question is their durability. Based on the sole's composition i expect them to be long lasting. Also luv how hey come in 12.5 so the fit is perfect.

I bought these shoes because of the sleek look and the minimal drop - I was surprised by how comfortable they were! These went from my training shoes to my every day shoes very quickly.

New balance has finally created the perfect shoe. It beats absolutely everything out there including all the big brands in every way possible. I have wide feet and the 2E width fits perfectly. New balance please don't ruin this shoe by making any changes, at least not till I can buy and store a 100 pairs for the rest of my life.

Love these shoes for WODs - heel is solid enough for over-heads, but the shoe is light and comfortable enough for runs and box jumps. Only issue I had is the grey is a lot closer to navy blue - but very happy with them.

Most comfortable running shoe ever! Great fit, great landing pad, and light weight Highly recommend this shoe

I wear only minimus running shoes for outside running, but they are not great for support while working out with weights, etc in gym. These minimus shoes have slight heel lift, but they work great as treadmill running shoes as well as all-around workout shoes. Highly recommend. But buy at least one half size up, full size if your feet are wide like mine.

This is the third pair of Minimus training shoes I've owned, and I love the updated version. The added cushioning helps during WODs that have running, yet they are firm and stable enough for all but the heaviest lifting sessions. As always, the fit and quality are spot on. I highly recommend them to anyone doing boot camp type workouts.

Love these shoes. They hold your feet well during cross training and other agility workouts. They also provide good stability while lifting. Very happy with these shoes.

I bought the Minimus Trainer specifically to help me get into a much more natural running style -- I'm trying to preserve my knees by using my body's natural shock absorbers in my running stride/ strike. The Minimus is giving me exactly the biofeedback I was hoping for, and my running style is changing as a result.

For me, this is the happiest I've been with a Minimus shoe. I've been training/walking with the Minimus Zero road for 3+ years, and that was great in terms of lightness and flex. I tried the new 200 trainer and felt that the sole was too contoured. This shoe is for: people who want a training shoe, not crossfit specific, that has minimal heel drop, exceptional materials & construction, has some shock absorbance without too much sole squishiness, sole FLEX (not squish) to help with running or non-squad/DL exercises, and looks great outside of the gym. It is not a sock shoe, a crossfit designed shoe, or a real running shoe. I ordered the silver one and will probably order the red one as well.

These shoes. Nicely light, lack some of the flexibility and thinness of sole that earlier minimus shoes had. Too bad but they feel fine as does fit.

I don't buy Nike anymore for personal reasons. Now needed to try different shoes so I started with New Balance. Love the shoes they feel better then I thought they would have. I will be buying New Balance again in the near future.

I needed a pair of shoes for playing indoor field hockey, and favor zero drop. Now NB doesn't do zero drop, but these came close at 4mm and the Vibram soles give great grip in a sports hall. The rubber around the outside affords decent protection from a plastic ball moving at 100mph. The wide fit isn't the widest fit, but I trust these not to blow apart at the seems. They offer no protection from above, which is why I'm now nursing a broken toe. I like the gray color, don't like that they are fairly long, but am happy with my purchase.
