Customer Reviews New Balance Minimus TR V2

I’ve had versions of this model for 7 years or more. It’s called the Minimus for a reason. It’s a natural trainer. Reviews here are like criticizing a salad for not being a steak. I use these in moderation when it’s appropriate and they’ve done wonders for strengthening my feet and repairing my natural health. Overuse initially did cause me problems. Plantar fasciitis got better, but left me with tight calves and Achilles. I do find it necessary to also have shoes that have more cushion and support if I feel that tightness coming on. But using cushioned shoes all the time is a bit like using crutches all the time. There’s no getting around being a student of your body and listening to that. This shoe does require an adaptation period before being used all the time.

Runs small for new balances. Very uncomfortable. I have owned NBs for decades. This is the worst pair by far. Would have returned them but I threw out the box too soon.

This is an excellent trainer shoe for functional training sessions. This shoe has a great fit, strong material, easy to clean and maintain. I had the original shoe and it’s a great feeling to learn that they’ve only got better with the new addition. Thank you!

Good quality shoes that are great for casual hikes. They definitely run a size smaller than what I normally wear (I had to buy a size 11, but wear a 10 typically).

I dont usually wear wide shoes, but even the "wide" fit tight on the middle of my foot.

Had to return "hassle free" 2 pair Finally settled on size 12 and normally wear 11's. Great shoe for working out at gym.

Great design for training, but sizing is completely different than the rest of the new balance line

They look cool, but no support.

Not much to the shoe. Ran small in size and width.

They looked comfortable…my mistake. You get what you pay for.
