Customer Reviews New Balance Minimus 10v1

I really find it annoying that companies are compelled to change styles etc from season to season, year to year. I started wearing these shoes a few years back, had two pairs, which I wore out. I ordered 2 more pairs the following season and the toe box of the shoe had been restyled and no longer fit my toes. I am comfortable with a wide toe box. Last year I went to a local shop and the sales staff brought me out a size 7 men's which was perfect - identical to my original women purchases. Recently I ordered a size 7 from Zappos. Couldn't go wrong, right. So wrong. Size 7 now too short. Order an 8, too big. Finally with the continued support from Zappos, I ordered a 7.5 men's. The fit is good. Not quite as good as last year's model but ok. Zappos was great. My disappointment is with manufacturers who just must change a good thing.

I have wide feet. I usually wear a vivobarefoot 11. The Minimus 12.5 EE didn't fit (too narrow). I think it's because the Minimus design has a tension strap around the ball of the foot. Anyway, these are BEAUTIFUL shoes that DON'T WORK for wide-footed people!

This is my second pair. I use them primarily for core training and walking. I've also used them in the water. They are a snug fit around the foot. I have a wider than normal foot, but not EE. I doubt a true EE would be comfortable in the EE width since the width is snug on me. That said, they work for me, and I'm happy with them.

This is the most comfortable shoe ever for me for normal walking around, work, whatever. Great for weights and crossfit, not a lot of cushion against pebbles and stones for trail running so you'll walk/run gingerly on rough terrain. Not very comfortable for biking or spin for the same reason. I ordered all three colors, but had to return the blue/orange because there was a rough seam on the inside of the left ankle (manf defect). They are also very comfortable without socks. I went up a half size from my normal walking shoe and I could probably stand a full size larger but I wear super thin socks.

Great minimalist shoe. My fiance is very hard to please and always says that shoes are uncomfortable, but this one he is actually happy with. It fits like a glove to the foot and is very lightweight. It does run a half size small, so order up. I also wish it came in more colors like a brown mix or gray--something that could be worn with jeans for a casual look that's not quite so athletic/running shoe looking. Overall, great buy

This is my third New Balance shoes from their Minimus line (plus the many others I’ve gifted to friends) Super comfortable, stylish and lightweight. A little bit more arch support would make them a perfect 10!

This is absolutely the best pair of shoes I’ve ever owned. If I lived somewhere that was sunnier I would wear these everyday. I bought a second pair just because I wanted it when it stops being produced.

These are my new favorite minimalist running shoe. Feels great on the trails

always wear 9.5....these were like a <9

Great style and comfortable fit. Also easy to clean, just run under water.

Very nice shoe! I wear them everyday/everywhere...to the gym, cycling, hiking, with shorts and jeans. Great fit and style. There is very little cushion in the soles but still comfortable. I’ll buy them again.

My normal size is a 10 but these seem to run a half size too small -- exchanged for 10.5 and now they are a perfect fit. I gave four stars for comfort only because they are quite minimal on the ball of my feet and after a lot of walking my feet hurt a bit. Otherwise, I love the feeling/look of these shoes!

Love them, great fit for my feet. Only strange fact is that the correct size that fits me would be a smaller size in every other brand, but with these I had to go half to one size bigger to get the perfect fit.

Love these shoes. They are my new favorite
