Different Type of Excellent Shoes
I wear New Balance (NB) wide shoes exclusively. I have a wide forefoot and skinny ankle. NB shoes allow me to tighten the ankle area while having adequate front foot space. The NB Minimus Trainers are comfortable and not bulky. I buy 4 to 6 pairs of tennis shoes and try to stay in the lower price range. The Minimus has the durable, affordable quality of all NB shoes. The shoes are an excellent value for the money.

Nice stable, zero drop
I tried a few versions of minimus and this was the winner. I have very bad balance, tailors bunion, hammertoes and high arches. I’m very stable and comfortable walking and standing in these and loving the zero drop + comfort combo. My only objection is the protruding heel, which I guess is supposed to stop falling backwards, but sometimes I kick myself with it… (oh, and I’m not fond of advertising the company name on my footwear).

Avid New Balance Lover, Disappointed
New Balance has always been my shoe of choice. I have always found them the best supportive, well made, and comfortable. I saw these and wanted to try them. It helped that they were on sale. After wearing them for a weekend, things the first time I am disappointed with New Balance.The initial fit was the same as every other pair of new balance I own (probably 7 pairs in my closet now, and 70+ pairs in my life time). As I walked I noticed I was able to feel the inside seem at the toes. Sensory unfriendly. They felt very hard. Standing for long periods of time my feet ached.They are light on the feet. Purple color is cute.

Runs small on length
These run small. I really like them, and they have good support. I have worn size 8 for many years, and still do in every other shoe I buy, but this one was too small. My toes were crushed against the top, and it wasn't going to ease up with wear. I do like them, so I ordered the half size up, and I hope that will work.

Not enough support/painful
Nice color but almost too lightweight, and so thin that it’s uncomfortable. I felt no support in these shoes. Also, I believe someone returned the pair I tried - I ended up returning and not reordering. ended up getting the Nike Metcons

Perfect for cross training
These shows are fantastic for cross training! Quick runs, box jumps, weights, etc. They’re stable, plenty of room in the toe box, and so comfortable. They’re absolutely perfect. They’re also constructed well, so I can see these lasting a long time. I was lifting in a barefoot shoe (Vivo barefoot) and really liked them for lifting only, but not runs or spinning. I could feel the pedals of the bike, pebbles while running, etc. These are the perfect combination of barefoot shoe with a small amount of support for shorter runs or sprints.
