Customer Reviews New Balance Minimus TR

Great shoe for gym training/weight lifting. Supportive and stable.

I have had several pairs of the minimus shoes in the past with my last pair I found that they have been significantly narrow then previous ones despite the fact that there was no other significant style change. Based on this and the other reviews I read here, I ordered my normal size (6.5) that I have always worn but in the wide width and they fit perfectly. I found they were slightly snug initially and had to really loosen the laces but shortly after wearing them (less than an hour) this was no longer an issue. I have worn them a few times since all day which I spend on my feet working in a clinic and they fit like a glover. For reference - before New Balance changed the width I wore 6.5 regular width and with these I am wearing 6.5 wide. Also the purple has a blue sheen to it which is even prettier than the pictures.

These are my favorite minimalist shoes. They are flexible, have a nice toe box and accept my orthotic arches well. However, this time, the size 8 is just a bit shorter and offers less room for my toes. Wearable, but I hope the next pair is back to what I am accustomed to.

I wear these for the metcon portion of my CrossFit workouts. They're comfortable, light, and fit well. I like that they are minimalist and the color scheme. Only reason for 4/5 is I haven't had them long and can't speak on longevity.

I love minimus and this shoe is good, but it doesn't have the vibram sole. I miss that. I had to take the laces out of the top holes because they were hurting the top of my foot. After wearing the shoes like that all day I can say they are almost great. The soles are a bit noisy if I accidentally drag my foot a little.

I use this product for cross training in the gym - not when we have a lot of running or jumping. Shoes fit pretty snug for the size.

I purchased this shoe for workouts at the gym (step aerobics, jumping jacks, other cardio exercises, free-weight workouts, other standing exercises, etc.) as a replacement for the 880s. I thought that I would have a harder time adjusting to them, especially since the 880s had an 8-mm drop (which was too much for me) and since the previous NB cross-trainers that I had (and loved) had a 6-mm drop, but I was pleasantly surprised. They fit comfortably and have felt great during my workouts. I would buy them again.

I use the product while at the gym doing crossfit and burn. The are comfortable and look great. They are a tad tight though

It looks completely different from the pictures.

Finding little arch support and cushioning, ok for casual walks but not sufficient for training.

I really like the look of these shoes. They are extremely small, I can just squeeze my foot into them. I ordered two pairs of size 12, the other runner fits perfectly. This shoe is so narrow even with the wide width, and my toe pushes on the end.
