Had to have these to replace the Minimus I've worn out, not just because of the amazing color or the slimmer toolbox profile, but because the older pair have been the best gym shoes I've ever owned! Lightweight, flexible and super flat which I need for lifting: don't buy a Vibram collab expecting support.

I never thought I would be returning these shoes because they had TOO MUCH support. I can deal with more medial arch support than I was expecting from a "minimus" shoe but the lateral arch support is a terrible fit for my foot. Tried these on for doing chores just around the house it felt like the shoes were driving my foot into inversion and made the outside of my foot cramp up. They felt very flat and solid on the ground and they're super cute but I would love these with even less support!

I really love this shoe. The material is soft and comfy. Nice for walking my dog. Always can trust New Balance, they never disappoint me!

These are a great sneaker if you’re seeking minimalist. I’m a grownup in a kids size 3 and some fives fit and some do not… These fit so i am grateful. I like them for both runs and walks, & they vent/breathe well.

This shoe at first glance is really cute. But the toe area has a peculiar shape-toe shape is designed to turn inward. This causes my second toe, which is longer than my big toe (family characteristic) to rub slightly even though there seems to be plenty of length for my big toe. And on top of this, the footbed is not very cushiony, which I need with slight arthritis and bunions. Depending on the shoe company, I can sometimes wear an 11M, but for this shoe, I need a 12. I ordered both and unfortunately have to send both back. Love the color-kinda like a tiger strip design of black, green, blue, yellow, coral, orange. But sutle in tone. Would go with every clothing color, except for red.

These are the perfect fit for wide feet and/or feet with Morton's neuroma (IMHO) as they allow your feet to stretch out and because of the flat sole, your weight isn't being pushed to the front of the foot balls of the feet. This is my third pair of these shoes and I hope they never stop making this style!

I wore them to work one day and it felt as if I were wearing just socks! Absolutely loved them! Purchased a 6.5 Wide in women’s and the fit was absolutely perfect! Buying another pair!

The shoe fit perfectly. It felt fitted so my feet feel secure and stable. I love the unique color pattern. I look for unique color in training shoes and this fit the bill. Overall, it was a good buy for the style, value and quality.

The arch support hurt my natural arch right foot greater than left. I love the shoes and wish they had fit me.

I had been eyeing these shoes for awhile and I’m glad I finally got them as they lived up to all my expectations. I especially liked the multi color of the shoe color. I wear them to run around on errands and other outings. I bought an extra pair just for only strength training and they also perform perfectly.

I purchase this brand deliberately due to where they are made.

NB's training shoes tend to run small so I ordered a whole size up but they fit perfectly. Can't wait to use them at the gym!

This is the second pair of Minimus I have purchased. I went out on a lmb and purchased the wide version in my size because my regular size was sold out. They are PERFECT! I love these shoes and hope New Balance continues to make the Minimus. Love this style!!

MInimalist shoe that fits my grown up size 3 foot. However, not the most comfortable sneaker I’ve had. I prefer Merrels for comfort. But overall a fine running shoe.

I ordered the wide shoe. They fit well in the morning but in the afternoon they’re a little snug around the arch. They are very cute, though! And aren’t terribly uncomfortable. They feel good. If you have very wide toes I wouldn’t recommend.

Cute shoe but too wide for my foot. Decent arch support. Have to return.

The tongue of the shoe is secured by a wide elastic so that there is almost a 'wrap' around your foot while wearing the shoe. Though I imagine it'll become more comfortable in time as the elastic stretches, it is fairly uncomfortable to wear/break in these shoes at first. As a result, the fit also feels more narrow than a traditional sneaker without this elastic. While the sneaker is visually appealing on the outside, the fit/inside is not ideal and I would not recommend.

The shoes are great looking but felt very short. I reluctantly returned them.

I've had several pair of New Balance in the past and they always fit great and were really comfortable. I was looking forward to this pair but they ran short in length and the construction was strangely stiff and unyielding for an athletic shoe. So uncomfortable to wear, not the usual New Balance experience.
