I'm deployed right now, and I wanted some good powerlifting shoes. I was skeptical about these at first but the PX had a pair here and they're great. Lifted 495lbs for deadlift and now I love these.

This is my 2nd pair. I wore holes in the first pair I liked them so much. Definitely recommend these for running or training.

Please continue to make these and don't change them. I've had three pairs in about six years and only had to replace them because I LOST a pair, unfortunately. I've used these for trail runs, speed training, lifting, kayaking, just about everything. They almost never wear out and I credit these with helping my knee and calf pain that had plagued me since high school.

After about a six month transition / break-in period, these shoes have been the best thing for my knees and hips. Pain disappeared! And, these shoes have made me change my running mechanics for the better. I've worn them with and without socks. Great balance with minimal heel-to-toe drop. And when I can no longer use them for running, as long as there is some sole left, I use them for casual walking shoes. And, just to make sure I always buy head and keep one unused pair in reserve.

I will mourn the loss of this shoe if new balance changes or discontinues it. I have two pairs. I can do long distance runs, kayak, and if needed swim in this shoe. I have bought pairs as gifts, and my friends are hooked too. You will likely need a full size up.

These shoes live up to the expectation. They are amazingly light yet somehow offer great support. Love them. Not only are they good on the trail they also make great shoes for day to day wear.

I love these shoes. I wear them for runs ranging from 3 miles to 8 miles. I also switch them up between pavement and trails. I cannot find another shoe I love more than this one so I will probably buy a second pair soon. However, I would LOVE for New Balance to offer more colors soon. Tornado Orange is wonderful for sure, but the other two are not what I am looking for. If there was another bright color available right now, I'd buy it. Bring back something in aqua, green, light gray, red, etc. Anything other than something that looks very, very black.

These are my second style NB shoe that I am on my second pair. My other is mostly for road running, these, just about everything else.
I have challenging feet to fit. I find with the minimus 10v1 specifically, where my left foot is flat and has substantial pronation, the inner side of the shoe really pulls my lacking arch inward and upward to give me support in a minimal shoe. I first pair of these were actually Gore-Tex and would love to see those made again!

A classic shoe for me. I hope NB always has this version to resort to, as sometimes the new versions are not better and could be potentially worse. This one does its job well. It is minimalist, light, durable and is perfect for any type of run really, unless you are running in the snow or rocks.

12.5 wise a very difficult size to find. My husband has Parkinsons and neuropathy, si the light weight sneaker provides him with better contact with the floor. He has several pairs.

First I'm very happy with this shoes. Feel stable, slightly tight fit but streachable. The only thing is that they run half a size small. Had New Balance shoes for years now a day they all felt roomy with 10.5 size. This one didn't fit and I ended up ordering 11 which is like I say tight fit.

Maybe the best shoe I have worn, I have been looking for this shoe for a long time. I wanted a shoe that felt like a barefoot shoe but had enough cushioning to not feel pain when I landed on a rock and not feel my teeth chatter when I landed on the ground on pavement. This shoe fits me really well (1/2 size larger than most other shoes), it feels very secure and stable when I am in it. It provides the right amount of protection and cushioning, but is so stable and cushioned that it is easy to forget you are wearing a shoe at all. I compared it to the Merrell Trail Glove 4, this shoe is much more secure and stable fitting, lighter, and has slightly more cushioning.

I recently purchased a second pair of Minimus 10v1 Trail, probably one of my favorite sneakers. They have a minimal profile, so no heel or excessive cushion which provides a 'barefoot' feel. They are very durable and age well. I use these for cross training and trail running.

Terrific minimalist shoe. It also looks good.
Runs small. I went up 1/2 size and to EE width for a perfect fit.

Excellent fit and feel. Use them for jump rope, gym and mountain biking, with flat pedals of course.

I love these shoes so much I bought a second pair a year later. These shoes are light far from cumbersome. They slip on and off very easily. The insole that offers the order protection unfortunately doesn't last long enough. Which is okay because I already spray my feet with deodorizers. Which your going to want to do because where the toes are the material is thin. Which is great for breath ability just not when you have stinky toes. Another thing I like about these shoes a lot is that they're comfortable to wear without socks. I don't do that often, but the times I have I was nothing but comfortable. This shoes can hold up to a lot. Heck I was hit by a car on my bicycle and I still wear that pair. I would honestly wear this par for shoes for the rest of my life.

This is my sixth pair MT10v1s in about six years. I've easily put 1000+ miles on each pair. Love them. I just came here to say thanks for continuing to make them!

These are my favorite shoes in the world, but finding your exact perfect size is a nightmare. I ordered 6 pairs before I found the right ones. I wear a women’s size 10 and the 9.5 was the winner ...but with these, there’s no margin of error ..if it’s not exactly right, it’s completely wrong.

Minimus MT10 v1 is the best shoe ever made. I own 3 pairs and plan to buy more. Please do not make any changes to the shoe - nothing beats perfection.

I have had my shoes since 2012. Just now they have worn out. I backpacked all over Costa Rica. Getting them drenched. Backpacked Southeast Asia, along with tones of mountain treks and daily use in the city!
