New Balance Minimus Prevail Trainer Men's Shoes Review

I wear a 6.5 or 7 with Nike and this 7 is right in between those two sizes but narrower. For me that means my legs are very secure but not restricted. But if you sometimes have to go far. They look and feel good together. Black and navy blue are subtle but not plain. The minimal style has no arch support. The soles are more flexible than standard models but not as flexible as other minimalist models I have. Very low profile and flat. Very happy with the value for money and for me they fit…

These shoes are terrible. Absolutely no support. I understand these are sneakers but I feel and hear the flatness of these shoes so much that it affects the way you walk. I have other Minimus shoes and love them. Was very disappointed with these.

Ideal for cross training. High lateral stability. Also good for lifting. Not very good for long distances but ok for 500 meters.

I bought them to use for squats. I usually squat barefoot, but scared people stare at me like crazy when I do, so I found these shoes. I love her! So much so that I wear them to work.

Incredibly hard to find athletic shoes in my size (10.5 EEE). I decided to try the New Balance Minimus cross trainer and found it to be just a great training shoe.

They are slim, unobtrusive and have enough room for my width. I have half a dozen other NB pairs and they are a little thinner than the others but I find they hug my legs well.

Terrible for flat feet. The soles are firm and not designed for long distances, at least not for me. However, the color is there, so I had to keep it.

I've been doing CrossFit since 2014 and have gone through Nike, Rebooks, New Balance and Nobulls. These are currently my favorite shoes for WOD. They provide more stability for Olympic lifts and also lend themselves to more explosive and agile lifts during WOD. I continue to wear these shoes over my Nobulls and continue to train well.

I ordered wide, they are not wide at all! In fact, they are quite narrow. I had to send them back. If you want wide shoes, don't order them!

The shoes work great and keep your feet on the mat. Not really for running. Also, for jump-based workouts, the impact can be pretty harsh if you land flat-footed. Use them primarily for heavy kettlebell and double kettlebell workouts that involve similar movements. The shoe's star was removed because of the ridiculously long laces they came with.

Quality materials and assembly. Sturdy shoes, but not heavy. Excellent lateral stability and traction without impeding forward movement. Ideal for functional training and cross training.

Great for the gym. The lightweight and sticky outsole keeps you in place during your workout. Good for indoor running. The laces are too long for me, but are easy to change.

Overall I love this shoe. I was looking for new sports shoes. I don't think I'll be running long distances but it has a nice flat base for everything you need in the gym.

These are my favorite training shoes. Excellent support when lifting weights and comfortable enough for short runs and cardio. Lots of comments on how cool this particular design is.

The left boot is missing the top eyelets for the laces so I can't fully tighten the boot. Seems to be a great pair of shoes. Surprised by this manufacturer error.

Best cross training shoe since the first NB MX20GL4 I bought a few years ago. The shape is almost perfect for my foot (wide at the front, narrow at the back) and the shoe fits my insoles perfectly. Bravo NB!

Advertised as X-Wide but is a full 3/8 inch narrower than the previous New Balance Minimus MX20v4 of the same size. many different models including: many pairs MT10MT20MX007MRMX20v4 (favorite, durable and wide) There were problems with outsole separation in the first model year, but since then the only big problem for me has been outsole wear. The v7 shoes are noticeably narrower than their predecessors and I was disappointed that the Minimus Prevail was as well. Compared to other Minimus…

I've only worn NB Minimus running shoes for many years. I wanted to try cross country shoes to avoid wasting extra miles on running shoes. Some trail shoes have a zero drop and others have a 4mm drop. I prefer the zero drop but ignore the 4mm the shoe has. I feel a slight rise, but it doesn't matter much. The narrower toe box is more noticeable. They are a lot narrower so I had to order them in W (wide) to fit comfortably. Still, I wish I had more room for my toes. Luckily, the good stretchy…
