Customer Reviews New Balance Minimus T10v1

Fit me 1-1.5 sizes too small and way too narrow even though I ordered wide. It’s too bad, the shoes are very cute but they are not what I was expecting - very thin and not supportive feeling.

I have loved New Balance Minimus shoes for years. I have an old, and I mean old, pair that I have used for teaching and taking fitness classes. Great width and toe box room. I really liked the extra support with the rubber piece across the toes as I do a lot of side lateral movements. Full disclosure, the left foot has a bump (bunion), Hence, love the roomy toe box. Last Christmas I finally bought a new pair but had to go to a size 9 (I wear a 7 1/2 but go to 8 1/2 for fitness) and even then it wasn't that comfortable across the left foot, but it worked for fitness classes. I would use the old ones for other activities. With the virus thing, and the closing of gyms, I started walking, a lot, about 6 miles a day on pavement/asphalt. The first day walking in the "new Christmas shoes" was nasty. The band cut into my foot and created a blister. I pulled out the old ones and they have been super. I have walked the soles off. Not the shoes fault, they are just old and I have put in lots of miles. I wanted to replace them with the same style. I have no idea what New Balance has done but they have made the shoe shorter and more narrow, even with a 9 wide I couldn't get the shoe to feel comfortable I am so disappointed. These were an excellent shoe with a great vibram sole and minimus style. This would have been my third pair. I have worn them for years. I don't know if New Balance will ever see this but hopefully will correct the manufacturing change.

Only wore them once I’m awhile because they hurt my toes. I ordered the right size 8.5 but didn’t realize I was delivered the wrong size 8 and it damaged my toe nails ?. So sad I loved these shoes but I can’t wear them or return them.

This was the second pair that I ordered. I couldn't even get my foot into the first one. I ordered a size up and this one was also too small. I could get it on but not with socks. I am a NB size 6. The second pair was a size 7. I owned this style many years ago and was hoping for the same great shoe.

I ordered 8W, but W felt like regular width. And the whole toe section curved inwards, which is weird. Also I could feel the top of the stiff arch support digging into my arch. Nice looking, but horrible fit, so I'm returning. Safer to stick with Asics.
