The previous version (20v6) fits perfectly. The 20v7 in the same size and width is significantly smaller. Why does New Balance mess with the sizing on model revisions? So frustrating.
My advice: if you liked the 20v6, buy extra pairs before it sells out.

Was looking for a flat bottomed, wide show. Vibram sole feels very solid. However, narrower than expected for an E. Foot must fit 'just right' for this style.

I was excited about getting a shoe for crossfit. I could not fit my foot inside the shoe. So now have to return it and find a shoe that fits

It's irritating when the fluctuations in sizing mean that I can't just order the same size of New Balance shoes when I need to replace with something I like. I didn't comparison shop on this round, because I loved my Minimus 20v5s and these 20v7s would be backups to them. This is enough of a change that I'm probably going to have to check out Asics or Nikes when I have to actually replace my 20v5s.

As a number of people had suggested, I bought a half size larger than my usual and that fit perfectly. Lightweight, indeed perfect shoes for taking on a trip.

I was hoping it was gonna be a lot wider because that's what I needed that's the only reason why I had to return them

The length was okay, but was too narrow. I have never had to order a shoe in Wide before. I will reorder in wide to see if that works.

Good looking shoe but way to narrow. Returned the normal for the wide and it was better around the sole, but it was still too tight across the instep/bridge/midfoot area.

Definitely eye-catching! However, seemed to run TWO widths smaller (and I bought 2E), and were not comfortable aside from width.

I ordered them a size larger and a size wider than normal based on the reviews and they fit perfectly. My only drawback on the styling is because of the elastic bands tied to the tongue. my foot hits them and pulls the tongue in if they were contoured better to the inside of the shoe it would be 5 across the board
I'd also recommend:
Adidas, Puma, Reebok, Nike Dunham, Dawgs, Birkenstock, Frye

The reviews complaining about the size/width almost made me miss out on this gem.
It’s definitely a minimalist shoe so the sole width is a bit narrow but the shoe is true to size and fits like a glove.
The look is exactly what I wanted, clean and light. Great ventilation and grip. 100% recommend.

The BEST training shoe I've ever worn. Not gonna run long distances in it because it's a minimalistic shoe, but you can get a mile or two in it and hit the weights. The knitted upper is SO comfortable, the zero drop is great. You can feel the ground underneath you, but the Vibram outsole gives you enough support to feel comfortable, plus it's got great traction. Love it so much I got every color. Stop thinking about it and buy a pair.

These are lightweight and comfortable. I have long, narrow feet so these are great for me.

Literally unwearable. I even ordered the WIDE version, and it still hurt my feet. Way too narrow.

Like others have mentioned these are way too narrow and the tongue is attached to the sides and just feels weird. I love my MX20v3 and wish I could still get those.

I loved the V6 model of this shoe and am disappointed in the V7. Whay I loved about the V6 was the larger toe box, the V7 toe box feels much smaller. I do love the minimus concept, I just need the old toe box back.

Three years ago NB made the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. It appears that they're cutting corning to save money now because these are horrible. They're not even close to being a wide shoe. Very disappointed.

The reviews are accurate - these are very narrow. The 2E fits like a normal shoe, if not more snug. Sadly I had to return. They look and feel great, they just suck on your feet.

Was super disappointed with these. I loved the style but wow, they are uncomfortable - and don't seem wide, despite having ordered an EE.
