New Balance Men's MT410v5 Cushioning Trail Running Shoe Runner

Comment

This is an excellent-for-the-price New Balance-quality shoe, but I already have the same shoe in a different color. The old pair is long enough (sufficient toe room), but narrow and tight, even difficult to don. I ordered these intending to go a half-size bigger. I read the reviews and saw someone recommend a whole size bigger. I went with a half-size bigger. The shoe fits way better and will work for me, but I wish Id taken the chance and gone a whole size bigger. I think it would have been even better. So, its a 5-star shoe for the price, but I went with four stars because the sizing is off.

Ordered these shoes for my husband in a size 18. He can’t buy his shoes in any store due to the size he needs. These shoes fit just as expected and are the lightest weight shoes he has owned. Typically larger shoes weigh quite a lot, and he really hates the heaviness of them. These are breathable, lightweight, attractive, and he never wants to take them off. The color is a deep burgundy wine color and looks really nice.

I bought these with the hope of a good fit with a wide-enough toe box. I consistently wear a 12 in NB shoes and I have a wide-ish foot, so I ordered a 12 4e (wide width). Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the fit. They felt short (more like an 11 1/2). I also believe the toe box narrows too soon. In other words, the shoe should be wider towards the front (not clown-shoe wide, but wide enough that your toes are not compressed). The shoe feels wide enough at the ball of my foot, but too narrow at the toe. Quality seemed good, although I only wore them around the house. I will be returning these (I actually found a cheaper pair of NB in the same size and width at a chain shoe store, and they fit perfectly... much better than this shoe even though they are supposedly the same size). If you are set on these shoes, I would order at least 1/2 size up. If you have a wide or wide-ish foot (like me), I would not recommend these shoes. For those looking for a better option, I have a recommendation: I find most Merrell shoes with regular width to have a wide-ish toe box and a comfortable fit. I order Merrells 1/2 size longer than my normal shoe size, and I have been happy with the performance and durability (I have several pairs).

I bought these for casual work wear. I work in a jeans and polo shirt sort of environment with a standing desk. These work great for that environment. The dark gray color doesnt scream "IM WEARING SNEAKERS" like white or brightly colored running shoes do and theyre a little more flexible in what they can be paired with than black sneakers would be. Fit wise, I wear a 12.5 and ordered a 13. These are easy to slip on, comfortable with both thin athletic socks and thick wool socks. The midsole is squishy so my feet dont hurt after a day of tromping around to meetings and a few hours at the standing desk. One final note. As a long time runner, I would not recommend these as serious running shoes. Theyre ok for the occasional jog and the carbon rubber outsole should hold up well, but the midsole is pretty basic. They dont have much in the way of arch support and no real stability features. If you plan to do more than the occasional treadmill run, Id look for something a little more technical. Ill consider ordering another pair of these when this pair wears out.

First impressions are its a fairly good quality shoe in this price range. Looking a bit closer you begin to see where the corners were cut. As I was lacing them up, some of the stitching in the tongue New Balance logo tag started unraveling. Not a deal breaker but I hope it isnt an indicator of things to come. Stitching in the rest of the shoes seems okay but the materials feel rather cheap. If you are buying these for a walking or daily use shoe I would suggest something else. This was the intended use I was planning on but the cushioning on these seems fairly firm for my taste. Considering these are sold as a "Trail Runner" a tough material resistant to heavy shock would make sense to protect the foot while running in those conditions but it doesnt make for a comfy walker. Im a bigger guy (63 240lb) so maybe that would have more to do with it. Ive had old work boots with better cushioning in the ball areas of your foot so Im not sure this shoe would work long as a trail runner before something broke (Hopefully the shoe and not your foot) . You could maybe buy some good insoles but lets be real. Why spend another $20 for insoles in a $40 pair of shoes? Just buy something better out of the gate. Ive read that New Balance shoe sizing is "true" but Id have to say these run a tad small. So, if you think you are in the 1/2 sizes definitely, 100%, absolutely, no doubt about it, ORDER ONE SIZE UP. I will try to update this as I put the miles on them but just from my first impression and initial walking around - Im doubting I will be get too far before having some issues.
