Customer Reviews New Balance MX40v1

Very comfortable workout shoes. I pretty much use it for an all round workout including running and weightlifting and they handle it just fine.

Great for running/ sprints without compromising stability for lifts

I found this great sneaker for me but now it seems I can't get the black and white anymore. That was my ideal color combo, after that I settled for the grey and now I can't get that. Just disappointing.

I had been using Fresh Foam V3 for a couple years now but it got changed/discontinued. This show is a little lower platform and I like it. I do cardio/strength classes at 24HourFitness, at least five days a week and needed another good shoe and this one fits the bill nicely. Good support for the martial arts type cardio classes and the same for the weight/strength training classes. I am pleased after several weeks with this shoe.

This model/color comes in the right size. I had the grey ones and those are around half size larger.

Good shoe, just a touch big but doesn't really change it. Would buy again

Show felt great but long in the toe. I'm usually a 10.5 but would recommend get a 10.

I ordered these last week and arrived well packaged and timely as expected. Excellent sole traction on shoes. The Shoes are solidly built like all New Balance. The only problem is width. I wear an 11 4E wide width, and even the wide selection is normal at best. Compared to the other New Balance shoes I own, the toe ball area is nearly a full 1" narrower. These are too narrow for me, but 14 year old son inherited and loves them.

Love the colors. Great shoe for a growing teen.

I've been buying the Minimus training line for CrossFit over the past few years. Overall this is a good shoe but my normal size, 11.5, was extra sloppy in the heel so I needed to size down to 11. Also, compared to the 20v4, these are a lot more narrow in the toe box. Overall it's not that bad, but they had it dialed in w/ the 20v4 - wasn't sold on burrito tongue for 20v6.

This is a solid training sneaker, with a few flaws. This isn't much of a dual training sneaker, it is more geared towards the weight training side. The shoe holds up quite well, is comfortable and fits true to size. I've trained in these shoes for 6 months of so and they've proved to be extremely durable. I would recommend. If you are a in to running, weight training. HIIT, I would however recommend a sturdier running sneaker instead.

Shoes work great for short burst exercise. I use them for a HIIT style workout and have been very pleased with the lateral support and overall response. Only knock is that I have had some issues with foot cramps when doing extended periods of burpees or sprints. The description does mention that these aren't going to be a running shoe and I would 100% agree with that statement. Overall great workout shoe that looks impressive.

the shoe felt great, I wore 10.5d before, but now normal 10d fit me very well. I want to retire my old nike trainer to a fitted one, then this shoe came across. I received the shoe, and tried out for it, i found lightly pressure point developed where the "crease" of the upper material around my toe when lightly bending the shoe (from walking carpet & tring the flex). then start with finger test, i found one index finger fitted with feet in length, so i wore my 10.5d nike trainer in other feet compared to this shoe in 10d , I found that they have the almost the same length from toe box to heel cap. after placing the finger between heel and heel cap and start the light bent, the pressure point disappears. for that size, i also found that i am experiencing pressure built up in my instep part of the feet where the shoe tongue is, when i am trying to get a lock down fit, and didn't tie it too hard at all. In my opinion, not too much room in the upper, if you have a "thick" feet i guess. on the plus side, the lock down and the internal bootie wrap around your feet very well. I am going to try .5 down and see what happens. Overall, I think this shoe needs break down time as well.

I purchased the wide shoe and still feels a little narrow. They are lite and comfortable.

fits similar to the old MX00. Runs shorter than NB normally does & also toe box is very narrow. definitely order a size bigger. very nice shoe, doesn't appear to have a 4mm drop but once the shoe is on you can feel it completely. great training shoe, just get the right size !

I got these to replace a pair a Minimus that I had been training in for over a year. They are discontinued it seems, but they were the predecessor to the Minimus 200 offered now. I loved lifting in them, but when it came time for boot camp type classes, the lack of shock absorption hurt by the end of the class. These shoes, with their still minimal heel drop and just enough cushion allow me to do boot camps pain free and not have to strip them off for squats and deadlifts. I would say I would buy again, but I'm hoping that in a year or so New Balance will improve on the design and I'll get those.
