Shoe Review: New Balance Minimus



A group of OnlineShoes.com employees were each asked to wear-test a pair of New Balance Minimus running shoes, and the reviews are in–we love the lightweight and stylish New Balance Minimus!

Stephanie B., one of our Product Copywriters, loves the flexibility and out-of-the-box comfort offered by the Minimus. She wore them both on and off the pavement, “This was my first experience with a minimalist shoe. Being a barefoot shoe, they actually offer lots of support and also work different muscle groups than cushioned athletic shoes.”

When asked what OnlineShoes.com customers are going to love most about the innovative new shoes from New Balance, Stephanie said, “Comfort, performance, flexibility and durability. The Minimus are packable, go-anywhere, type of shoes. Perfect for weekends, walking the dog and urban adventures.”

Chris F., a Web Application Support Developer, compares the Minimus to his regular New Balance running shoes, “They conformed to my foot much better than the New Balance running shoes I’m used to. The minimalist style means that the sole is practically non existent, meaning you really feel the ground beneath your feet.”

Our Retail Staff Accountant, Shaun H., says the Minimus Trail shoe looks great and was completely different than any other shoe he’s worn before, “I love every ounce of it, mostly because of how few ounces there were. The shoe allowed me to transition from one workout to the next without having to change shoes.” At first, Shaun was nervous about trying the Minimus, but his final word about the experience is echoed by all of our testers, “I couldn’t have been happier with what I got. You will love this shoe because it allows you to do anything you want to do while providing great ground feel, and virtually no weight.”
