I normally wear a 12 wide so I went with a 12.5 wide because reviews said it's a bit narrow. It was still too narrow.

These are nice shoes, but they definitely aren’t wide. Compared with my Nike wide sneakers they are visibly narrower.

Instead of pronation control, it forced pronation. Felt like a major design error.

I'm a personal trainer. And it's so disappointing to see the down fall of this model...
Have had dozens of them over the years. Lately the colours and changes have made me change brands...

I have purchased several pairs of "Minimus" style shoes in the past using the same size (8) as this purchase. This time the size is too small. Have they redesigned the lasts used to construct the shoe?

I have worn NB minimus shoes for years. This is my fourth pair. I have narrow feet, but the dimensions of the toe box weren't right and some of my toes rubbed oddly. Bring back the old minimus!

Fair fit but not suitable for running on beach except in the packed/wet sand.

I loved how these shoes looked and felt but they were way too small. Even without socks (as the info stated these can be worn without socks) these were way too small. I went a size up and those were too big. I've been training in Minmus shoes for 5 years now so this was a big let down.

Can't comment on how the shoes perform because despite ordering a wide shoe it was still super tight and narrow and an absolute pain to put on. Really wish they didn't discontinue the 574 All Coasts it was the only good-looking shoe New Balance had in wide.

These shoes are NOT wide. They would be great otherwise. I wish someone would make wide shoes because...well...people have wide feet.

Not wide at all. Extremely tight and narrow throughout despite claiming to be wide.

Minimus means barely any product used to make them. For a green foot print shoe I expected more. I'm a 10. 5 not wide, regular or narrow fit. These didn't. Uncomfortable, barely any cushion but stylish. I didn't return them I gave them to my 12 year old son. Probably used .50 of material to make and try to sell for 109.... I used a 40% off 100 coupon and still overpaid for the name new balance. I still love NB shoes and wear multiple pairs. But will not purchase this kind again.

Runs really small. I wear a women's 11/men's 9 but this shoe was at least one and a half inches too small.
I can't comment on the width or arch support because the shoe was so small.

Beautiful shoes. I ordered them wide but wide is not good enough. Like trying to put my foot in a ballet slipper.

I have purchased many NB products because I have a wide foot. I ordered wide and received what they call wide in this model and it was narrow with a very low instep. Unwearable.

I never do this, but do not get this shoe. I can't even get my foot in the shoe and I'm barely the 2E I ordered. I'm just sad it took me two and a half months to finally take them out the box to try them, only to be massively let down.

I was every excited about these shoes--I love the zero drop and minimalist design available in wide width. The toe box was extremely restrictive for my foot. For those who don't need a wide toe box, perhaps this is a great fit.

For a person ordering a wide shoe it was very narrow with no give. I will need to slice the tongue area just to get on my foot.
Very frustrating with this shoe. HATE it.

There should really be a warning in the description of the shoe, even as a wide size this shoe is still too narrow to fit someone that uses normal width shoes.

Was super excited for my first Minimus, but super disappointed. Did not think it was that narrow. Ordered 9-Wide (9-2E), but still TOO NARROW. a Regular 9 in Nike/Rebook is MUCH more comfortable.

These are the widest shoes they had and still did not fit. I was not even able to get my toes into the shoe. Would like an actual wide trainer. Had to return.
