Customer Reviews New Balance Minimus TR

This is not even close to what a wide (2E) is and/or should be! Could barely get my foot into shoe and all my mid foot is spilling over narrow sole. Was excited to have a shoe I could wear at gym for cross training and now very disappointed. Don't understand how you can call this a wide when it is smaller than most D width shoes! Put another wide shoe next to it for comparison and it's double the width!

I don't know if these shoes were tested on human feet prior to release, but they are so off standard sizing I literally could not get my foot in one of them. I am a 10, 10.5 since highschool in every brand (including the previous Minimus) and have never had to go up. I got the 10.5 and it was ridiculously small. I'm guess 9.5 narrow in standard sizing. Really wanted to like them because the colour was very fresh. They didn't have the right sizing at the store when I returned but I'm guessing 11.5 or 11.5 wide would have been a better fit.

This is a fantastic transition shoe if you are trying to move to a barefoot shoe. I personally wear both minimalist and barefoot shoe. I find this shoe much more comfortable than barefoot shoes.

Great looking shoe. My son ordered it for Track & Field discus and shot put and it fits his needs perfectly.

Versatile shoes great for high intensity workouts that have a mix of strength and cardio

I love these shoes. I bought some a few years back and fell in love with them. Great all around shoes.

Awesome shoe!

I love how they feel. The right size and fit, great for workouts. The low profile is awesome. The color is not white, it's a cool light gray.

This shoe will get you pretty close to lifting like you're bare-footed. It's excellent for deadlifting due to the minimal sole thickness and cushioning, and is also well-suited for squatting if you prefer a shoe without an elevated heel. The sole is also noticeably more flexible than other shoes, which I appreciate when I do calf raises. The small lip on the heel makes it ideal for hooking into the foot straps on a rowing machine. The sole extends up the inner arch on the side for more grip when climbing a rope. Lots of thought went into this shoe design, and it sounds like other reviewers haven't been getting the most out of it - perhaps because they're only running. I, on the other hand, love it. Runs true to size, but the gray color is a little darker than the picture.

Flat with arch support is a great shoe for indoor or dry weather every day wear. Perfect for weight training, boxing, etc. Initial versions (2-3 yrs ago) fit true to size. PLEASE, PLEASE bring back new versions of this design.

I have narrow, high-arching feet and these shoes fit perfectly. Light weight and great to wear.

Great

These shoes have been great for functional training and weight lifting.
