It's cut a bit narrow and squishes my toes, and I don't feel like I had as much arch support with these as I did with all of the other trail sneakers I have bought. Also, to echo the other reviewer who said they made her feet point oddly like she was pigeon toed, they took some getting used to because of the odd angle on the inside. It's not an issue with narrow sneakers. I love Pumas for fashion sneakers in part because they are so narrow. It was just very unexpected from New Balance.I'm a service industry manager and have to be on my feet for 45+ hours a week; as you can imagine, it's been a cramped and uncomfortable couple of months. :( I kept them thinking they just needed to break in, but I was wrong. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Favorite Shoe *by L***C on Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2014* I first came across these shoes in Tokyo last year when visiting for 2 weeks. The shoes I brought were giving me blisters and were terrible in terms of support. Hesitant to purchase because of the pink accents, I decided to purchase them anyway because they fit well, had good support, and I had been dragging around my traveling buddy for two days trying to find a new pair of shoes for the trip.These turned out to be THE best shoes I've ever purchased. I still have the ones I bought in Tokyo and bought a second pair this year. Note, at first they may feel snug. I bought the pair in my regular size, but wide. Once you wear them in a bit they will perfectly hug your foot. I've used them for everyday walking, pavement running, treadmill running, hiking throughout northern and central California (including Yosemite), and my trip in Tokyo. They're durable, comfortable, and minimalist.Wish they would keep manufacturing them in size 7C/D! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ and the outsole is pretty stiff (good for durability) *by C***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2016* These are a little narrower in the toe box and shorter than my other New Balance Minimus shoes, and the outsole is pretty stiff (good for durability). The midcushion is nice though, and I didn't have any pain in my shins or knees when I took them out on the road (I think this is more of a trail shoe?). Overall good but if you're looking for a softer ride, keep looking. These are for those who already have efficient running form and are used to more minimal shoes. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/531995116-new-balance-womens-w1010-minimus-running-shoe](https://www.desertcart.us/products/531995116-new-balance-womens-w1010-minimus-running-shoe) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
