Reviewed by Idaho Lade from Idaho on Monday, May 20, 2013I recently bought a New Balance mesh walker I love and bought these for a back up. But they are very short and uncomfortably shaped. And they don't have the cloud-like sole of the other NB.

Reviewed by cd from Boise, Idaho on Friday, May 17, 2013I thought they might be too small at first, but once I wore them my heels set back in the heel box and toe box is roomy. They provide more support than my previous NB minimalist shoes, so they're better for running. They work well for rope climbs too.

Reviewed by M the Landscaper from NE on Wednesday, May 01, 2013These are my favorite minimalist shoes. I've tried the vivobarefoot evo shoes and I much prefer these minimuses. This is my second pair, the first ones lasted about 2 years (~6 training sessions/week). They offer support without bulk. I typically wear a 10 in all running shoes and boots, but I order these a half size up. At first they seem a little long, but I appreciate the space for intense plyometric workouts. Also great for speed work on the track if you want something besides spikes.

Reviewed by Melinda from Florid on Tuesday, April 30, 2013These shoes are great! I love the bright blue/pink color. They are so lightweight you don't even realize you are wearing training shoes.

Reviewed by HikeHikeHike from NYC on Thursday, April 25, 2013I have wide feet and normally wear 9.5. I ordered a 9.5 Wide which feel a little too long. Wish i ordered a 9 to try too; they might fit better. They also look weirdly curved/wide since the toe is still pointy and the contrast emphasizes the width... Due to bad knees i can't take much more of the pounding and jolting that comes along with "heel-strike" gait (i.e. touching down first with heel rather than forefoot or midfoot), so I've been trying to change/improve my form and my gait. These have a little more support than you'd get from a true "minimalist" shoe, so they're the logical transition step: They don't over-beef-up the heel like traditional running shoes and the forefoot and heel are nearly the at same (low) height off the ground. Some arch support but not much. Only a little cushion so just make sure you've already begun strengthening/ changing your running stride/gait/form BEFORE switching to minimalist shoes. They're not built for heel-strikers and doing so in these will hurt!!!

Reviewed by Sam Lowry from SF Bay Area on Tuesday, April 23, 2013My 9 yr old daughter wears a 6-6.5 kids shoe size, which can be hard to find. This scales to an 8 to 8.5 in womens shoes. These shoes seem well made and light; however, had to return bc they were very narrow and would not fit on her feet.

Reviewed by PB from North Carolina on Thursday, March 21, 2013This shoe isn't a lot of things, but what it is and excels at is being a great crossfit shoe! It gives so much more stability when lifting, squating and doing the dreaded burpees. So light and comfortable. Getting ready to order my second pair at an amazing price. Just can't bring myself to pay $119 for the reebok crossfit nano when I can get these for such a deal.

Reviewed by Tammy from Denver, Co on Friday, March 08, 2013These shoes are perfect for crosstraining at the gym. Lightweight. Definitely not heavy support shoes but they are not suppose to be.
