Comments about New Balance WT10 Minimus Trail-Running Shoes - Women's:
If you're looking for a flat running shoe with minimalist construction, this is the best one on the market. New Balance made a minimalist runner that's very attractive, as comfortable as your slippers, lighter than a gazelle's hoof, and with the perfect amount of traction to take you flying anywhere you want to go. No bells and whistles here, just a simple, flat, running shoe. You really feel like you're running barefoot but there's enough of a sole to keep your feet comfortable. Be aware you can't just barrel over rocks and sticks - you'll feel them through the shoe - so if you don't want to have to pay attention to where you put your feet, get something with a heavier outsole. They are also mesh, so if you don't wear socks with them (I don't), your feet will be covered in whatever dust you're running through. I've run on everything from African dirt to US tracks, roads, grass, and trails and I absolutely love these shoes. I'm a largish women's size 11 (sometimes 12), I bought the women's 11, and it fits perfectly. They're a joy to run in!

Comments about New Balance WT10 Minimus Trail-Running Shoes - Women's:
I work in a hospital and am on my feet all shift. I am most comfortable when I am barefoot and New Balance sneakers usually fit my wide feet. Unfortunately, these sneakers have two major flaws; there are seams on each side that hit right across the knuckels of my big and little toe. This wouldnt have been as much trouble because the fabric is quite light and stretchy but the sneaker was designed with a rubber strip across the top which causes them to bind.

Comments about New Balance WT10 Minimus Trail-Running Shoes - Women's:
I'm an avid runner and gym nut. I got these because I'd recently worn out my Vibrams and wanted to try something a little different in the minimalist shoe category. They have a different feel than the Vibrams did, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and got them anyways. I don't have wide feet at all and I found these to rub the tops of my tarsal bones and my toes pretty badly. I've already lost 2 toenails running in these and am about to lose another. Everyones feet are different, but I won't be recommending these anytime soon. I'm sticking with Vibrams.

Comments about New Balance WT10 Minimus Trail-Running Shoes - Women's:
I must admit I use these on an almost daily basis since I bought them. I've used them for long days of walking & standing (ie. theme parks or manufacturing floor) and they're also my go-to for sprinting, jogging and doing any kind of exercise in the gym including yoga stretches. Note that my previous gym/running shoe was Vibram 5Fingers but I wore those out quickly.
Great that they are lightweight, flexible, have good grip on the soles. I feel they support my arch and food very well but then again I did wear Vibrams for 2 years before buying these.
Not so great about it? I honestly say that the only downside is the price (but then again they are worth the $) - I can't think of anytime where I thought "ugh, if only they were ...". I love wearing them because they are truly comfortable and supportive. I just wish I had more pairs in more colors!

Comments about New Balance WT10 Minimus Trail-Running Shoes - Women's:
I love love love these shoes. I probably tried on 20 pairs before these and knew immediately they were perfect. Absolutely the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I wear them to work often, not just for running. I'm not a runner by nature but have been slowly breaking into the culture. Very limited soreness in my joints compared to the cushy shoes I had been running in. They have also been great in CrossFit and rowing. I will be wearing them for Tough Mudder this weekend, so ordering a new pair now, should they get smelly beyond repair. LOVE these shoes.

Comments about New Balance WT10 Minimus Trail-Running Shoes - Women's:
I loved these when I tried them on initially. The toe box was really roomy, the material was light, airy, and felt like a glove on the top of my foot. The soles had a bit of drop, but nothing huge, and they felt like they would be great trail and pavement shoes.Then I wore them outside for the first time, and was rudely surprised to discover that just walking in them for 10 minutes gave me the worst pain I've ever felt on the top of my last right metatarsal (the pinkie). Literally, the joint before the toe was getting terrible pressure from the shoe somehow, which felt like someone was squeezing my foot around the center with a vice. I actually took them off to walk barefoot back to my car, it hurt so badly. I gave the shoes a break, and tried to wear them again a few more times, walking, and even a run, but all had to be cut short from the pressure on my right foot, which never got any better.So after those failed attempts, I took a more close inspection of the shoes, especially the metatarsal band (the black rubber strip across the width of the shoe), and noticed a few things. One, the right is different than the left. Literally, the band is less wide, and sewn on closer to the body of the shoe than the toe box, which apparently put more pressure on the bones. Two, upon pulling up the metatarsal strip slightly on each shoe to see how flexible it would be, I noticed the right had glue residue and a bunching of the mesh fabric beneath, where the left had nothing but perfect stitching. Seemed rather messy and haphazard, so I chalk it up to a shoe defect. Upon searching the internet for other reviews of the shoe, I found similiar reviews with the same issues, where the right/left didn't match, and the band was too tight on one shoe, putting pressure on the bones in the foot. Since mine were a gift, I couldn't return them, so I decided to cut the band on the right side while preserving the stitching to see if that would relieve some of the pressure. Added some super glue to the exposed mesh bunching beneath to keep things from unraveling, and lo and behold, it solved the issue, though cutting [$] shoes becase of a defect did NOT make me happy. Since cutting the band, I've worn them running on trails and pavement, and haven't had any further issues. New Balance really needs to fix that shoe defect, though, because I know I'm not the only one who had the issue. Otherwise, the shoe concept and performance could have been fantastic.

Comments about New Balance WT10 Minimus Trail-Running Shoes - Women's:
After picking these up from the store, I tried them on and thought they felt great but the look was the deal breaker. The toe box was very big. For trail running I think they would be comfortable. I don't own Vibram's shoes but they seem very similar w/o the toe separators.
