A minimalist running shoe that is great for Crossfit. Service was great. This is my favorite running/workout shoe.

Absolutely love this shoe. I wear them to workout, but they are comfortable and stylist enough to wear throughout the day. Perfect for heavy lifting. Shoes are light weight and wide in the toe. Planning to get another pair in black.

Agree with most other reviews, I had to re-buy with a wide size and they fit like a glove!

My boyfriend absolutely loved them. I'm purchasing him another pair because these tend to go out of stock and then it's hard to find a good replacement

I wear a women's size 12 Narrow, and these men's shoes actually fit and my bone spur and hammertoes feel better in them. They must run narrow, because they are perfect for me. The stretch in the toe area helps my toes that are curved under, and I usually need a high toe bed. I started wearing them for Tai Chi, but now I have 4 pairs and wear them all the time!

I bought these shoes for my husband and he absolutely loved them! It is a minimus shoe and he's previously used minimus shoes for running but he wore them out. They totally extend your run because there is less pressure on the knees and less impact. If you're looking for a great longing shoe I definitely recommend minimus shoes. Also if you have a wide foot the standard fit should be a good fit because minimus shoes tend to have a bigger toe box already. I wouldn't choose a wide fit shoe unless you have a VERY wide foot otherwise you'll be good with the normal width.

Best shoes all around. Me and my wife bought a pair of them 4 yrs ago, and I regret to this day not getting another pair. I'm glad they are back... thank you NB. Please bring back the 'winterun' version of these (MT20 if i recall), the upper mesh in the MT10 gets cold on windy winter days, and wet in rainy and/or snowy days. Also, I over pronate heavily and my running shoes wear out after a year of running. But with this bad boys NO heal wear... they're evenly worn at the sole, amazing! Even though they're a few years old, they're still holding up, mesh is worn and get dirty quick, but the sole is great. Run, walk, hike, garden work, THE BEST pair i've owned to date.

This is an excellent minimalist shoe. I compared it to a Xero Prio, a Merrell Trail Glove, and soon a Merrell Vapor Glove. I have pretty wide feet (11 EE) so I tried one full size up (12 EE). The shoe seemed well constructed. Soles are grippy, give decent ground feel, but squeaked a bit on my wood floors. The uppers hugged my feet. Unfortunately, those uppers hugged my feet a little too tightly, to the point where they actually caused my left foot to fall asleep when I wore them for about 5 minutes. Overall, if these shoes hadn't been so tight, I would have kept them. I liked the feel of the sole better than the sole on the Trail Glove, and the uppers seemed a bit more comfortable than the Xeros uppers. But they were just too tight for me. If you don't have duck feet like mine, definitely give them a try.

I have tried all kinds of running shoes with support designed for flat feet. Nothing worked. These are super lightweight shoes that enable me to run for miles with my flat feet. Seems counterintuitive, but these minimal shoes are perfect. They are also great for packing for trips - they take very little room in your bag. Love these shoes. I am on my second pair.

I do not understand why there is so much variation. Some wide-size shoes are wide enough out of the box, some after tossing the insert, some after a bit of surgery. The 10 has been my favorite shoe for a list of reasons, a near-perfect back-country shoe. I'm on my second pair of the re-release 10v1, a shoe that requires a bit of surgery to fit. Cut both sides of the band that crosses the front top of the shoe, then it's almost wide enough, almost as wide as the 10v2, an old pair I keep around to remind me some 10s fit out of the box. If NB would be so kind as to make a 4E, then I would lose my scissors!

I really like these shoes, they took about a week to break in for my normal comfort but now theyre wonderful. They seem to run narrower than I'm used to in mens shoes (wide footed female here), but overall I'm very happy with them and they're holding up very well.

These shoes were great for my needs - lightweight shoe to use will lifting weights and doing light cardio in a gym. They were initially a bit tight but after a few uses - they feel great and get weill.

My favorite Minimus shoes are back. Thank you New Balance for reusing these. The regular width felt too narrow so these wide width are just perfect. They go great with shorts and the soles are nearly indestructible. May have to order a few pairs just in case they're discontinued again.

I have tried most spikeless golf shoes and these have the most comfort and sensitivity to the fairway. I like the NB minibus golf shoes as much as my FJ dry leather classic golf shoes but they match better with shorts and for casual rounds.

I've owned a few of the Minimus line of shoes from NB starting with the release of the MT00. I bought these primarily for the gym and occasional trail running. Today, I wore these to run up/down Stone Mountain. LOVE THEM! Sole compound works well with the weathered boulders, stone and rocks making sure you don't slip (it was dry, not sure how they'd be with wet stone). There's a lot to love about these shoes; one of which is its lightweight, but what I especially love about these, is that on steep rock faces, the shoe HUGS your feet! It makes you feel surefooted and secure.

If it's not too cold out, these are the only shoes I wear. New Balance please keep making them. In the mean time I might just order myself a few more colors. I feel they run true to size however my feet are narrower than average.

I really want to love the shoes, so far I have only out a few dozen miles in them but the top of the heel support is cutting into my right achilles. I'm not sure switching over after 5 sets of Vibram Fivefingers was such a good idea. I'll update after I break them in.

These are by far my favorite running shoes of all time. I wore my last two pairs until they had holes through the sole. I was considering what shoes to buy next and behold, my favorite shoe had returned.

I ordered a full size and width larger than I usually wear and it was still too narrow and there was not enough room over the top of my foot.

This is the pinnacle of footwear. I got my first pair when they first came out and have scoured the internet and shoe stores everywhere to get my last two. I was about to give up on ever owning another pair until the re-release. So I run, I workout and I wear these shoes until my work shoes wear out. I did asphalt for the last 7 years during undergrad and grad school and my old MT-10s would inevitably retire to this job. Each pair lasted an unheard of two years doing this work! So, I'm also a physical therapist who has studied the foot and gait extensively and I can tell you this shoe is engineered and designed with everything! Metatarsal support that's not invasive, a stitched tongue so it doesn't shift while you run, a heel support that cups your foot while youre moving, a toe box that allows your foot to spread and absorb impact when you forefoot strike, a lip in the sole under the great toe that adds clearance when your swing through, a Vibram sole that grips to everything, anti-microbal interior. I have written grad school papers on this shoe. Rant from my phone so forgive grammar/spelling.

Loved the shoes, bought them for an Obstacle course race! Didnt have a chance to break them in before the race but hear performed wonderfully and I didn't get any blisters which is surprising without breaking in my shoes!
