Comfortable, lightweight, and great for training
Size: 9
Color: Black/Magnet/White
I bought the New Balance Men’s Minimus TR V2 cross-training shoes and I’m very happy with them. They are lightweight and very comfortable, with a flexible sole that works well for gym workouts and training sessions. The fit is true to size and provides good stability. The design is simple and sporty,
and the material feels durable. They also offer good grip and balance during exercises. Overall, this is a great training shoe and good value for the price. I would definitely recommend it.

Great Shoe ... Size Matters
Size: 12
Color: White/Black/Neo Flame
These are great. However the lasts run small on these shoes. I'm a 10.5 normally and that means 11 in most shoes I wear these days. When ordering these shoes. Go up one full size. For example if your normally wear 11s (as I do) then order 12s. This also applies to widths. If you have a high bridge or
arch or thicker in the ankle/heel do the same. If you normally do one width, do two widths on these. Also, if you are considering footbeds in these shoes then you need to go even bigger. 1.5 for a size and one extra width. This seems crazy, but I am wearing their 12s and I have never worn 12s in any footwear in my life. I am not using these with a footbed and I have a narrow heel (I'm flat footed too) I rock the 12s fine. They are fantastic for P90x workouts and lifting. Runs - I would say not long runs like warmups and maybe a mile or two of running. Light stuff on running but that's not what these shoes are for. Summary: These run small go up one size (ie if you are a 11 then get 12) The same goes for width get one more than you normally do. If you are going with footbeds in these I would personally go up 1.5 in size and one width more than normally to allow for the footbed to fit comfortably. Once you get the fit, these shoes are great for the function you want.

Great NB Minimus Shoe, Runs Half Size Small. Great NB Minimus Shoe, Runs Half Size Small.
Size: 8 Wide
Color: Black/Magnet/White
This is an excellent New Balance minimal cross training shoe. The shoe runs a half size small, so go up when you order, and I got the wide fit for additional room. Nice wide grippy sole for stability with Minimus zero drop profile. Although, I'll admit that adding a lightweight padded insole would ma
ke these supreme. I love NB Minimus shoes and was disappointed when NB got rid of their Minimus running line... My only complaints are the neoprene tongue because it slides a bit and the size issue which hints at lower production QA standards for New Balance. Regardless, it's a great lightweight zero drop shoe, especially if you can get them on sale. Easily 4 stars, 5 if my regular size fit out of the box. Pro-Tip: run the laces over themselves at the last loops for DIY lace lock. See pic.

Great shoe! Sizing matters. Great shoe! Sizing matters.
Great shoe! Durable, good traction and look great. On my feet all day and feel comfortable. Compared to most athletic shoes, the price is also worth it. I have a narrow foot but prefer zero drop and wide toe boxes. Reading through other reviews, I noticed people saying these were narrow so I opted in
for "Wide" and glad I did. If you have a wide foot or are use to wide toe boxes (Vivo or XERO) I suggest going wide. I typically fit 10.5-11- my NB are 10.5 Wide and fit perfectly.

Version 2 "upgrades" went the wrong way...
Size: 11
Color: Black/Magnet/White
I love the Minimus V1's - my most worn footwear. Time to replace them - these V2's are beefier, stiffer, more padded, etc. Exactly the opposite of "Minimus". The marketing team should be embarrassed... I'm returning and switching brands.

The size runs small
Size: 11
Color: Black/Magnet/White
Several reviewers have noted these run small and I found the same thing. I normally wear a 10.5 in just about any shoe but ordered size 11 in these Minimus shoes thanks to the reviews. They fit perfectly.

Mostly faithful...mostly :P
Size: 7
Color: Black/Magnet/White
While MOSTLY faithful to the Minimus line, this rendition has a slightly narrower toe box but is not terribly confining. I do feel this shoe is a bit slimmer through the arch as well. Upside it seems sturdier than the v1 and i'm pretty sure the sole will withstand more of a beating...we'll see. Still
fairly flat but not a true 0. Not sure the original was either.
