Customer Reviews New Balance Minimus TR

I agree it is not exactly like the old minimus with the vibrum sole. But! This shoe is still great. I am on my 5th pair in 8 years. I have been wearing this shoe since 2014. My husband is on his 3rd pair. And my son will be receiving a pair for Christmas. His second pair. I am a massage therapist and orthopedic acupuncturist with 15 years plus experience dealing with pain management for athletic clients. I cringe when I see young people come in to my office in the thicker soles. People should be wearing a minimal sole like this one to strengthen feet muscles for a holistic body experience. I work on my feet all day and run and hike trails. This shoe is like a second skin for me. I was bummed NB changed the sole but I will say they still make the best minimus cross training trail running shoe around. I cheated on NB to try other brands. I was sorely disappointed. The other shoes out there like these are slippery and dangerous and cause foot pain. This shoe keeps my foot supported while allowing my whole body to stay grounded to the earth. With a minimal sole, we are forced to build our mind body connection to make sure our strike is careful and strong. With thicker soles, people often check out and take their lower extremities for granted, leading to hip, knee and spine dysfunction. This shoe has given my feet long lasting strength that benefits my whole musculoskeletal system and mind body experience through my midlife and beyond. I order half a size up for running.

I was suffering from plantar faciities and tried wearing an old pair of NB Minimus. Sadly, the dog chewed up one. Had to buy a new pair..or two pairs. My feet now feel fantastic.

This is my second pair of these minimus shoes. They are super comfortable and allow excellent contact with the ground

So comfortable and very light. Feels like you're not wearing shoes.

Everything is great about these sneakers. My feet dint pronate or supinate with them, as happens with other sneakers. The only thing is that size runs small. I am normally a size 7.5 in sneakers. With this sneakers I need size 8.

I bought 4 pairs these style and I am loving it..i will probably buy the mens style 2

I love this shoe! Wanted a zero-drop with some cushion, like the Altra Solstice, which I also love but just wanted an alternative. In the Solstice (as in almost all shoes) I'm an 8.5, normal width. After reading reviews of this shoe I got a 9, wide width. It's perfect. Definitely recommend.

A perfect combination of support and bare-foot feel for weight training!

I like them. I felt they were a little short. I went up a half a size and was still just a tab short. I really like these. They're comfortable. I would recommend.

Love them. Very stable for lifting weights. Nice color.

My wife's raves about how great these feel. She uses them for the gym.

I use them for CrossFit workouts and they have been great.

Previously I bought the minimus trail shoes but since NB doesn't make them anymore, I decided to give these shoes a chance. I'm glad I did because I find them to be quite comfortable and a good shoe for those that prefer less cushioning. I usually wear a size 8 but I bought a 8.5 because of the reviews. I'm glad I did because they fit perfectly.
