Men Sz.12 - I like these low top shoes for trails traction, but I had to swap out the soles, which was quick. i think I’d rather have gone with a more expensive shoe that already comes standard with better arch and cushion.

Ok but not as good as my past 2 pair as I'm a shoe guy but so far New Balance are my favs for comfort and top 2 style too. Tried all the big brands and I have many of them.

I'm not finding the product very enjoyable. The product runs smaller than advertised. I'm not thrilled with price or the fit.

Very uncomfortable on downslopes
Originally posted on New Balance US
I always buy New Balance trail shoes. I hike every morning with my dog. These are easily the most uncomfortable trail shoes I've ever owned. There is so much support in the heel, that on downslopes, it slides your feet forward and my toes feel crushed against the front of the shoe. I thought it might get better after breaking them in for a month. It did not. Uncomfortable and frustrating.

We’re sorry to hear that these trail shoes were uncomfortable for your hikes and didn’t improve even after extended wear.

Please reach out to our Customer Care team so they can review your feedback and help explore next steps or alternative options that may better suit your routine.

The tread is horrible - constantly suddenly catching up my walking motion. Threw them out. Been buying NB for 30+ years - no more.

Positives: good fit and light weight Negatives: not much cushioning, especially in heel. Good on unpaved surfaces but feels hard on paved portions of trails

I wanted a pair of trail running shoes for multiple reasons. My first experience with them was during a multi-day move climbing in and out of a 16ft box truck, carrying things into a house and up and down stairs, and 2+ days of cleaning out multiple storage units to load/empty the truck And these shoes were amazing!! After a little recovery, some short trail runs are next:)

Firm. Solid. Traction. Quality. Missing the MW1350 which I wanted to get again. This is a compromise.

The indigo version is grey
Originally posted on New Balance US
Just received them in what is described and shown as indigo but they're not blue at all. Instead they're an industrial grey. Also, the soles look a bit plasticky and cheap IRL. Might be a good deal now that they're 25% off (writing in mid-February 2026).

Fit perfectly and look great. Use them for trail running and a little everyday use. So happy with this purchase.
