Customer Reviews New Balance Minimus Prevail

Just what I was looking for. This is a great shoe for the gym. HIIT classes or weight lifting. Great grip on the floor and light weight

Love these shoes!

Shoes have been great in the gym. Super stable, light weight and breathable. They feel almost like a second sock. The name “Minimus” describes them well because there’s not a lot of fluff or frills with these, which is exactly what I wanted. Definitely would buy again.

They fit great and look great. They don't breathe, and my feet get hot sometimes; that is the reason they didn't get 5 stars

Very difficult to keep clean. Would recommend against.

The shoe laces came apart on a light hike.

I normally find New Balance to be true to size but there are a little tight on the outside of the big toe. Otherwise they are perfectly nice shoes.

Ordered the 13 wide. Very narrow toe box.

It may just be some quirk of my feet, but something about the design of this shoe gave me significant pain in the arches. I was also really underwhelmed by the the lateral support. Doing lateral prowler drags, I might as well have been wearing flip-flops. It felt like the upper was stretching and allowing my foot to push past the edge of the sole

Sooooo flat. No support whatsoever. I have wide feet and high-ish arches, and the fit on the shoes was slightly off, as in just a hair too small. They might be ok after a break-in, but they hurt my big toe after walking around the house for 5 minutes. They're also super hot. I don't know if there's a layer of Gore-tex in them, but they don't breath AT ALL. These would probably be OK with some quality insoles, but if you have to spend another $20-50 just to make a pair of shoes marginally workable, then it's not a good pair of shoes. Severely disappointed.

These shoes are supposedly replacing the Minimus 40 trainers. These shoes have no arch support and the mesh material feels cheap. I feel like New Balance cut some corners. Bring back the Minimus 40!
