    My First Minimus...Great Running Shoe!
  

*by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2014*

I have been a New Balance devotee for about 3 years now. My last pair (2 pairs actually) was the M750s which never steered me wrong.  I thought about just ordering another pair from Amazon, but a friend suggested I try the Minimus line.  After trying multiple shoes at brick & mortar stores, I ended up buying the M1690s from Amazon.These shoes are light, stylish, and extremely comfortable.  They run a little smaller than normal, so it wouldn't hurt to go 1/2 size up.  I was skeptical about the rugged bottom soles, but they are actually an added bonus as they grip the road rather nicely and seem to add a little speed.  I tried them out at our last squadron 5K (I'm in the military) and easily passed my running peers, which usually isn't that easy.These shoes are gorgeous to look at too, which is an added bonus.  My only negative would be the leathery outer material, which I'm not used to for running shoes, but it doesn't get in the way of performance.

    Overall  Great Shoe
  

*by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2014*

I marked the fit as "Fit as expected" but I do agree with others that these shoes are slightly on the thin side as far as width goes, at least for the 4E that I wear. Based on others' feedback I wasn't sure whether to get the 10.5 4E that I usually wear, or go for the 11 4E to be sure. I went with the 10.5 4E and am happy I did. While slightly more 'snug' than normal at first, after a day they now fit perfect for me.As far as the shoe itself - very nice. I'm a big fan of minimalist shoes but I have tight calves/achilles tendon issues so I have to be careful. These are, so far, the best balance between offering good padding/support while also a minimal heel drop (i.e., the difference between the height of the heel and the toe). I haven't ran in them yet but for walking and day-to-day wear these are very comfortable and nice.That said, the treads seem more geared toward trail running than road/track running. When I first wore them it was raining outside and they were quite slippery on flat surfaces, due to the knobby tread on the bottom. Can't remember if NB markets these as trail shoes or not.

Loved the feel and colors. Size was just a bit to small. Needed half size larger to fit right.
