Customer Reviews New Balance Minimus 10v1

I ordered the gunmetal/orca color. I've owned dozens of size 13 EE wide new balance shoes. These 13 EE's were way too narrow to wear. They also were too short (maybe half a size too small - so order larger). I love the look of the shoe and huge fan of minimus, but I guess this version will not be wide enough for my feet. I have tried on the shoe in a store, but they did not have EE wides or the gunmetal/orca - - even so I tried on the yellow as well as black and they seemed to be more true to size; but still small.

I did need to order a half size larger. Otherwise great shoes...very durable. Will order again.

I like them a lot. After buying 4 different pairs for women which I wore out, I confidently ordered my next pair only to find that NB had narrowed the toe box which did not work for me. I went to a local store and tried a men's pair which fit perfectly. The men's style was still the same. This year, I ordered the same shoe size but they were too small. Had to get the next size. I order an extra pair. I think it is reprehensible that companies find the need to change styles and sizes. I read recently that the newest version of this shoe for women has a higher heel!!Oh I am a woman who now finds it more reliable to order men shoes.

Extremely narrow, even though I bought a half size larger than regular.and got wide. Had to return them.

Really nice looking shoe - it does fit small though. Had to return the first pair.

I was looking to replace my beloved pairs of New Balance Mx20V3. Previously, I wore a 10 (with possible room to spare). I tried these in 9.5 and were beyond constricting. 10 was still snug, so I opted for 10.5 and found it to be much better. Once the fit was established, the main negative I found was the top-edge of the shoe and tongue, which makes contact with the circumference of the ankle. Instead of the soft/malleable edge, it is a rolled and stitched edge, with the potential to tear up skin and induce blisters. This is easily avoidable if one opts for crew socks, but beware with no-show or shorter ankle socks. Overall, this shoe lives up to the New Balance Minimus line I am familiar with, just wish they could refine these a bit more.

They fit as expected for a size 8. Even though I got a Wide width they do not feel very wide. The rubber overlay across the front probably has something to do with that. They are pretty minimalist, which is nice.

They changed the style and fit just enough to make it uncomfortable and strange feeling

Injured my foot. I purchased a pair that were a half size larger than my true size, based on other reviews. Still not enough. On shoe pinched at the widest part of my foot. I broke then in over a couple days, hoping it would stretch out. After my first 4-mile run, I was in pain, with a bruise at the top of my foot at the base of the fifth toe. I will never try a New Balance shoe again.

I have been wearing New Balance Minimus shoes since 2013 and the MT10V2 were my favorite pair. Once I wore them out (3 years later) I got the MX20v5 and soon noticed the decline in quality. The fabric began splitting and it split fast. After only 6 months the seam by the toe came apart and I contacted New Balance and complained about what happen. I was surprised to hear them tell me it was very unusual and its seemed like they were telling me it was my fault. Okay? After some more digging they gave me a $50 credit and I bought another pair. And again it split on me. I am not working out in these shoes and I am not doing rough activities it is just poor quality. So now I am switching brands after being a loyal New Balance customer for 5 years. I really hate it because these are the most comfortable shoes, but if I spend over a $100 I expect to get at least 1 to 2 years of use out of them.

Runs a bit small

Like the shoe a lot but didn’t hold up
