Comfortable, lightweight, and great for training
I bought the New Balance Men’s Minimus TR V2 cross-training shoes and I’m very happy with them. They are lightweight and very comfortable, with a flexible sole that works well for gym workouts and training sessions. The fit is true to size and provides good stability. The design is simple and sporty, and the material feels durable. They also offer good grip and balance during exercises. Overall, this is a great training shoe and good value for the price. I would definitely recommend it.

Great shoe! Sizing matters.
Great shoe! Durable, good traction and look great. On my feet all day and feel comfortable. Compared to most athletic shoes, the price is also worth it. I have a narrow foot but prefer zero drop and wide toe boxes. Reading through other reviews, I noticed people saying these were narrow so I opted in for "Wide" and glad I did. If you have a wide foot or are use to wide toe boxes (Vivo or XERO) I suggest going wide. I typically fit 10.5-11- my NB are 10.5 Wide and fit perfectly.

Great NB Minimus Shoe, Runs Half Size Small.
This is an excellent New Balance minimal cross training shoe. The shoe runs a half size small, so go up when you order, and I got the wide fit for additional room. Nice wide grippy sole for stability with Minimus zero drop profile. Although, I'll admit that adding a lightweight padded insole would make these supreme. I love NB Minimus shoes and was disappointed when NB got rid of their Minimus running line... My only complaints are the neoprene tongue because it slides a bit and the size issue which hints at lower production QA standards for New Balance. Regardless, it's a great lightweight zero drop shoe, especially if you can get them on sale. Easily 4 stars, 5 if my regular size fit out of the box. Pro-Tip: run the laces over themselves at the last loops for DIY lace lock. See pic.

Don't buy
I've been a die-hard New Balance Minimus wearer since I got into bodybuilding over a decade ago. However, each iteration of this shoe seems to get worse and worse. For the life of me, I don't understand why they keep adding more and more padding to "minimal" shoe, and the sizing changes every year. These are extremely narrow and tight around the toebox, even with the Extra Wide variant I purchased. When I can, I try to purchase older models of this shoe on eBay because they're far superior to any modern variant of the NB Minimus.

Minimus cushioning
There definitely was a minimus amount of cushion when it came time for a walk. Compared to other New Balance shoes, these felt like a different brand when it came to comfort when walking some distance. As for style these look great. The fit was good too. I bought a wide size due to reviews stating they are narrow. Glad I did. Picked these up on sale. I probably would've returned them if not. Nice shoes I guess for going to the store or weight training at the gym as long as you're in a relatively stationary position, don't plan on any cardio.
