Amazing Cross trainer
New Balance has developed an amazing, lightweight, cross-trainer with the latest version of the Minimus TR (Black/Outerspace/Copper Metallic). Normally, I wear 9.5 (non-wide) and had to size up to 10 wide because I do wear an insert (due to low arches). It's a perfect fit with some additional room in the toe area. I use the Minimus for Body Combat (kick-boxing/MMA), HIIT, and strength - training classes at the gym. The amazing grip this shoe has on the gym floor prevents me from slipping and sliding (or falling) during fast moves (left to right/front to back). The tight grip on the floor makes you feel super-human. Unlike previous versions of the Minimus TR, which I found to be extremely tight/narrow, New Balance has improved tremendously with this version of the shoe. If this is what your workout needs, I strongly recommend you try this shoe. By the way, the shoe is black , combined with dark navy (tongue and heel area), with a copper "N," and a white sole.
