New Balance, is dedicated to helping athletes achieve their goals. It's been their mission for more than a century. It's why they don't spend money on celebrity endorsements. They spend it on research and development. It's why they don't design products to fit an image. They design them to fit. New Balance is driven to make the finest shoes for the same reason athletes lace them up: to achieve the very best. Review: ultralight alternative to hiking boots - I was looking for an ultralight alternative to hiking boots. I've had good luck on sizing with New Balance before, so I took the chance of ordering these. Overall the fit is a little small compared to other New Balance styles. However, the sneakers preformed better than I'd hoped. First these are either zero drop or are very close to it. I felt pain in my Achilles tendons after wearing these a few days. I had to go back to my regular shoes and let my tendons heal. I went back to these wearing the MT10V1 only an hour a day in the house. It wasn't long before I could wear them all day, even doing yard work or shopping. Then I headed out to do some trail runs and hike. Eventually I changed the laces out for Lock Laces. This improved the overall comfort by a huge margin. Finally after breaking them in for 3+ months, I headed out to the Pemi Loop for a 30+ mile hike on the boulders and mud of the White Mountains. I've included a picture to show you just how rough the trail could be. During my hike I wore a 20 pound pack. Since I took the time to strengthen my ankles and joints gradually, I never once felt I didn't have enough support in these trail runners on my hike. There preformed well beyond my expectations. Amazing traction on wet and muddy rock, scree, anything. Excellent trail shoes. My only word of warning is they are quite well ventilated. It was very easy to get water seepage into the shoe. This is not a criticism. Just an observation. I will buy these again and again. They are now my favorite sneaker. Review: Worth the cash - I've been flat-footed my entire life and suffered through years of people telling me I should get inserts and orthotics and highly cushioned shoes blah blah blah. These shoes are the best shoe I've come across, and I've tried a lot of them, to include my fair number of toe shoes. I have extremely wide feet due to my collapsed arches (when I say collapsed, I mean when I get out of the pool, I leave rectangles with toes on the concrete, not footprints), and these fit PERFECTLY. The toe box is nice and wide, and not a weird (probably normal for most people) angle - it's mostly straight, so my toes have plenty of room to spread out and work, instead of rub against each other. This is my second pair, and I can honestly say my first pair lasted about 2.5 years before I should have replaced them, but instead kept running them until you could see daylight through the soles. I've worn them hiking, mountain biking, into rivers/ponds/lakes, bouldering, running, and to the gym all with no problems (except for on occasion I have had a stick jab me pretty good - never enough to break through the sole, but you definitely notice things most shoes hide). The only thing they can't protect you from, and this only applies out west (I had this issue in both Idaho and New Mexico) is "goat heads" on the trail/road/etc. If you've lived out west, you know what a goat head is, and it's not uncommon for them to make it through the soles of these shoes and give you a little sting on the bottom of your foot. It's even easier for them to really get you through the mesh upper of the shoes - goat heads go through that with no issues at all. All in all, these shoes are great, to include if you have collapsed arches. They do allow the muscles in your feet to really work so your feet may be tired more often than you think, but some work with a lacrosse ball will have you back on track. Definitely recommend these. ## Features - FuelCell foam delivers a propulsive feel to help drive you forward - AT Tread outsole provides versatile traction during both on and off-road activities - Lightweight and durable textile material - Upper features no-sew construction for a sleek fit and feel - 0 mm drop; due to variances created during the development and manufacturing processes, all references to 0 mm drop are approximate ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CGJZWD8T | | ASIN | B0938WDHQC | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,808,515 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #910 in Men's Trail Running Shoes | | Brand | New Balance | | Closure Type | Lace-Up | | Color | Black/Phantom/Great Plains | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,582) | | Date First Available | June 9, 2011 | | Department | mens | | Has Shoe Adjustability | Yes | | Heel Type | Flat | | Insole Material | Foam | | Item Type Name | Trail Running Shoe | | Item Weight | 24 Ounces | | Item Weight | 6.7 ounces | | Item model number | MT10BA | | Manufacturer | New Balance | | Manufacturer | New Balance | | Material Fabric | Rubber | | Model Name | Minimus Trail V1 | | Outer Material | Rubber | | Pattern | Solid | | Seasons | Fall | | Shoe Height Map | Low Top | | Shoe Type | Athletic Shoe | | Sole Material | Rubber | | Sport Type | Trail Running | | Strap Type | lace_up | | Style Name | Minimus Trail V1 | | Style Number | MTM10LK1 | | Toe Style | Closed Toe | | UPC | 197966310974 | | Unit Count | 1.00 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Images ![New Balance Men's Minimus 10 V1 Trail Running Shoe - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51SdXbRcQRL.jpg) ![New Balance Men's Minimus 10 V1 Trail Running Shoe - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51vPWqX9m+L.jpg) ![New Balance Men's Minimus 10 V1 Trail Running Shoe - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51pJhoUkT6L.jpg) ![New Balance Men's Minimus 10 V1 Trail Running Shoe - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51tw8YILC1L.jpg) ![New Balance Men's Minimus 10 V1 Trail Running Shoe - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qunedc53L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ultralight alternative to hiking boots *by G***G on August 31, 2017* I was looking for an ultralight alternative to hiking boots.

The older model was so good I bought two pair; knowing that shoe manufacturers often change their shoes such that a great shoe turns into a mediocre one. This newer version is improved it seems in every way. They feel supportive and protective, with no heavy clunky feel to them. They are minimal, but provide just enough protection, support, etc to make me feet feel like I did when I was a kid. Free to move, but not numb to everything around me. Additionally. this model feels slipper-like comfortable on the inside. I even like the color of these (gray and bright yellow). My older version was prone to getting smelly over time if not washed or aired our regularly (hence the 2nd pair). They also seemed to wear quickly, especially the tread. Hopefully this newer model will wear better, not get smelly too quickly. Either way; I'm tossing my 2015 models in the retirement bin (for shoes relegated to working in the yard, etc) and buying a 2nd pair of these. Great shoes. ## Frequently Bought Together - New Balance Men's MT10V1 Minimus Trail Running Shoe - New Balance Men's Minimus V1 Trail Running Shoe --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/654656409-new-balance-mens-minimus-10-v1-trail-running-shoe](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/654656409-new-balance-mens-minimus-10-v1-trail-running-shoe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
