A long time advocate of the New Balance Minimus range i was excited to receive the MT1010v2 shoes. With a 4mm heel-toe drop and a grippy Vibram outsole, they sounded perfect for technical rocky paths and longer distance trails.
My first run out in them was along the shore paths & trails alongside Derwentwater in Keswick.
First impressions were very impressive, super lightweight, nice fit around the midfoot and heel and plenty of room in the toe box.
The cushioning, despite being minimalist, is enough to cope with longer runs, 16 miles is the furthest i've ran in them so far, and the rockplate is, as ever, great on the more rugged trails.
A definite must have in the minimalist trail, fell & mountain runners arsenal this summer, and a great transition shoe for those looking to add minimalist footwear & running to their training.
