Bought a half size larger. Fits well, especially after a couple days of wear. Shoes look so nice that I haven't taken them on dusty trails yet. Been getting lots of compliments.

Best trail shoe i've ever owned...not a lot of support and not a lot of cushioning...but that's what i am looking for! Fantastic rock/trail feel, great for rock hopping!

I love these for wearing around town, and to the gym.
Not a lot of support, but really comfortable..
Definitely want to get another pair, wouldn't do any kind of running in them, but that's me.

This is my second pair. I do physical therapy and am on my feet all day. If you are conditioned for minimalist shoes this is the one for you.

These shoes are excellent for the trail! They let you feel the trail and everything thing about it. Super comfortable if you like the minimus style. The grip they have is superb for rock scrambling.

By far the best trail running shoes I've ever found. I've been through 4 pairs, about to get #5. I used to wear vibram fivefingers but they quit making decent running shoes.
I'll wear these until I bust holes in the bottom, and then get another pair.

I'm very happy with these! It's my first true minimalist shoe, after gradually wearing thinner and thinner running shoes the past year. It runs a bit small, narrower than other NB shoes of the same size, but that's as it should be. I have run about 20 miles in these so far, on a mix of grass, dirt, gravel/sand trails, and the occasional pavement. They are feeling good and I can't wait to get out to some more adventurous terrain.
Only minor issue is that for my foot, the heel is not quite as snug as the mid/fore-foot, but that's not even worth knocking a half-star. Overall very happy with these!

These are great shoes. I use them for biking and for playing golf. They do fit snug which I like. They also give you a tactile feel which is the main reason I love them. I purchased them on sale without knowing much about them. I now consider them the best running shoe that I have ever owned. I don't run in them because I bike instead. Walking is great and they work well on the golf course in all weather conditions. I have used them in conditions where I'm standing in water in the rain and they do not slip. Way more tactile than golf shoes which I like. You almost feel as if you are barefoot without woorying about injuring the bottoms of your feet with rocks, thorns, glass, etc.

snow storm in NYC and my boots failed; MINIMUS saved the day! not only comfortable, but just enough traction and don't ask me how they stay dry. of course i wear darn tough and smart wool socks.
unfortunately, by the time the wonderful customer service rep, christian, placed the order, my above pictured minumus trail's were not available. but he's been in touch by text and told me how i can go forward with my order....except that wonderful fun color is not available. my old ones are orange, mens as when they launched they only had men's. and those shoes cured my plantar's fasciitis and wore and wore and wore. i guess the world is buying your shoes during the pandemic.
so this writer will replace her minimus shoes per the text her customer service rep sent her. what a wonderful company. what wonderful shoes. i honor my soon to be 78 year old feet with your shoes!

I use these for crossfit. I have gotten 2 compliments from women on them already. Only had them 2 weeks. Great for working out or going out.

This was exactly what I was looking for to provide a little more support/cushioning than my Vibram Five Fingers (VFF). I am transitioning from running on the beach (barefoot) to running on the road (with shoes). I wanted something with a bit more support than VFF to make the move. The Minimus offered a little more support and still let me feel the ground. Overall, the Minimus seems to have reduced the transition time from sand to road. They also fit great and didn't need much breaking-in. I think I ran with a Band-Aid on one heel for only a day or two. Great shoe!

These are literally the only shoe I can wear. I suffer from heel spurs and plantar fasciitis and every shoe I wear kills my feet. Not these! I have 2 pairs and plan on buying a third for back up.

I have tried Minimus shoes and worn them around a number of times since they came out 10 years ago, but never made the purchase. Finally I did, deciding that even though I rarely run on trails any more, this shoe would make a great shoe for my workouts inside or for kicking around in. They are lightweight, low to the ground, allowing my feet to move and perform naturally - exactly the purpose of Minimus shoes. I am loving them! The cushioning is minimal - per the design - but they do fine for protecting my feet on floors and sidewalk. I can't wait to take these for a hike or run on the dirt trails in the nearby hills.

I had a pair of these from years ago that wore out. For new shoes, I tried Xero shoes and hated them so much I bought anther pair of Minimus Trail shoes and took the others to Salvation Army.

Have always loved these shoes...
But I am JUST able to squeeze into the size 14. A 14.5 would be ideal... Or even a size 15.

While the YELLOW is not my favorite color, I am afraid that NEW BALANCE will discontinue MINIMUS 10v1. There is no other shoe like this. MINIMUS makes my feet SMARTER and better able to tactfully manage the terrain.Trail running will never be the same without MINIMUS. Please, please NEW BALANCE, re-release 10v1 and DO NOT EVER change the design. The running addict in me will never forgive you and I may have to buy the company or steal the design.
