Shoe Review: New Balance Minimus Roads (MR10)



STATS

Weight: 8.0 oz (size 9)
List Price: $110
Drop: 4 mm (18mm heal, 14mm forefoot)
Released: March 2011

Pros: Light weight, durable, undercut heal helps correct form, enough padding to protect feet on higher mileage concrete runs.

Cons: First 100 miles of arch pain – long break in period, loose some traction on wet ground. 

SIZE & FIT

Length seemed to be pretty standard and the toe box was nice and wide, allowing for plenty of toe splay. I ended up wearing 10’s – same size as my typical ASIC running shoes.
