Questions & Answers
First, 2E and 4E are wide and extra wide, respectively; second, if you've never worn a minimus shoe before, these aren't for you. They're only for people who run with their feet in front of them. They don't have any cushioning in the heels. You're going to hurt yourself if you're a heel striker like the majority of people. The M775LT3 is a great option if you want something light.

It should state the size of the item you're ordering. I placed an order for a size 10. It's a half-size larger than the one I had before. My feet have grown and my spine has shrunk, so the size is pretty accurate.
Rain protection is average. Unless they're designed to be waterproof, which these aren't, they're just like any other pair of shoes.
They're also more expansive.

In February 2011, I purchased my first pair of Minimus shoes on the day they were released. I ordered a size 13 and it was the perfect fit. they re- began my running career and turned me into a lifelong minimalist shoe fan. In 2016, I replaced them with another pair of size 13 Minimus, which were also perfect. br>br>This time, I read all the warnings about the shoe running small, and I went up to a 14. They were long enough (possibly a little too long), but far too narrow- They made it difficult for me to even walk, let alone run, in them. So I traded them in for 14 XWs, which are still too narrow for my liking and haven't gotten any better with wear. So, as a result of NB's sudden and inexplicable shrinking of its sizes, I'm out $120 and on the hunt for a new brand to replace my perfect but worn-out NB. out of a pair of Minimus shoes, This was a very disappointing and costly experience.
If you've been running in high-cushion shoes, you'll need to ease into these over the course of a month or two. You will hurt if you don't, and if you have wider feet, you should order the wider version. They'll suffocate your toes if you buy them in the regular size. After about 100 miles of running in the regular size, I had to switch to the larger size. I'm glad I'm making the effort to switch to this trail shoe. I'd been having a lot of heel and arch issues while running in hokas, altras, and brooks, so I needed to switch things up. Orthotics, cortisone, and other pain relievers were ineffective. Running form, foot strength, calf flexibility, and foot mobility are all important factors to consider.
These were purchased to replace my New Balance MR10v2 Minimus shoes, which I had outgrown. Unfortunately, the "2E" width on these MT10V1 shoes isn't as wide as it was on my previous MR10v2 shoes. The new horizontal strap that runs across the front of the foot just below the laces is the source of the problem. I can't widen the shoe by loosening the bottom laces because of this strap. br>br>I "fixed" my shoes by snipping on either side of the strap where it attaches to the sole with scissors. I can now adjust the width to fit my feet properly.
This is my go-to pair of hiking boots. After retiring my first pair after about 750 miles (data from my Fitbit), I recently purchased my second pair. ) They have a wider toe box than merrells that compete. Out of the 750 miles I drove with them, I'd say: There were probably 400 miles in the city, 200 miles hiking, and 150 miles on the treadmill. The treadmill ate up the soles; otherwise, I could have gotten another 150 miles out of them, and I didn't get any blisters even on 30-mile trail days. Surprisingly strong, only started fraying outside the toe box towards the end of the last 100 miles of life. br>br>Would recommend and buy again. There will be "after-the-fact" photos of 750 miles of trail life.
When I get some extra cash, I'll definitely buy more pairs to keep on hand. The first version of these shoes has been greatly improved. They are ideal for me because I have a high arch in my foot. My wife, who also has flat feet, adores them. An older MT10 and a newer MT10- are shown in the photo. V1br>v1br>v1br>v1br>v1br>v1br The waterproof toe cover wraps around the toe box a little bit more. br>2. Their colors aren't quite as clownish as those of a clown. br>3. Finally, the upgraded rubber and elastic bands are of higher quality, and the inside is still super soft, so no socks are required. br>However, I am a fan of the Darn Tough brand and wear their socks to keep my favorite shoes from stinking up!.
After my first run, I had a quick first impression. For the past five years, I have only run in New Balance shoes. I have a number of 890v3 and 890v6 pairs in sizes 10 2E. The 890s are a favorite decade of mine. But I've always wanted to try a minimalist shoe. This Minimus 10v1 comes in a size 10 2E, which I purchased. That duo was a match made in heaven; The space is insufficient. As a result, I traded them in for a size ten. 5 2E. These are also a little snug, but I decided to keep them anyway. Because they appear to be pretty cool, hahah. But, honestly, I was hoping the shoes would loosen up a little. Today was my first time running in them. Ran 3. 5 miles. It was 12 p. m. in Phoenix, and the temperature was a scorching 100 degrees. My runs have been sluggish for the past couple of weeks. I shaved a total of 4 - My first, second, and third miles all dropped by 5 seconds. In these shoes, my feet feel more connected to the ground and responsive. It's easy to notice the lack of padding! Particularly on downhills and sprints, the 890s are more comfortable. For sprints and downhills, I actually prefer the 890s. br>br>My feet feel everything in the Minimus; feel like you're getting closer to the asphalt and trail The Mininus sole is stiffer than the padded 890s, and it may offer better protection against sharp rocks. If that makes any sense, rocks don't bite as deeply into my foot as they do with the 890s. The shoes haven't really loosen up, but they don't feel as tight across the tops of my feet anymore.
I've been wearing these since they first came out, and I'm on my fifth pair right now. I'm going to go barefoot if New Balance stops making them. These are the first shoes I've ever worn that don't make my ankles hurt after a run. I always blamed my discomfort on my feet's incredible flatness, but a friend suggested it was actually due to heel strike, and if you heel strike on hard surfaces in the Minimus Trail, you'll end up with stress fractures in no time. br>br>My advice to those who are just getting started in minimal shoes is to run on the balls of your feet and power through the calf cramps by day three. You'll run faster and have stronger legs as a result.
