Very light shoes, I wear them in a 100k dessert race (soft sand) during the night, no sand enter the shoe, much better than wearing gaiters. Order your regular NB shoe size.Best Deals on New Balance Men's MT110 Performance Trail Running
After putting about 50 miles into these shoes in the past week, I would say that they've done a pretty good job. I've been using them mainly for trail running and hiking along some medium difficulty level trails. I used them to step in puddles, walk through mud, cross small creeks, etc. and they've definitely kept my feet dry the entire time so that is a big plus from such a light shoes.There are a few drawbacks to using these, however. Since the shoe is light (a definite pro), they don't give very much foot support so your feet end up doing quite a bit of work. If you're into minimalistic running, then this shouldn't be an issue. And during runs, this really wasn't that big of an issue. However, hiking on trails, where there are a lot more rocks than the trail-running trails, can be pretty harsh on your feet.
Additionally, the zipper on the shoe gets stuck sometimes, but isn't too big of a deal.
The "ankle support" isn't much support, its definitely more to keep water out. So if you're looking for something just to do hikes, get hiking shoes. You will be happy you did.
All in all, its an excellent shoe and something I would recommend, especially to minimalist runners.
Honest reviews on New Balance Men's MT110 Performance Trail Running
Run extremely similar to the multiple pairs of 101-110's I have, maybe a bit stiffer out of the box. Not very breathable (not needed I would say in the conditions these are made for) so on longer runs they can get a bit soggy from the inside out.I had a problem with the zipper (top) ending in the middle of my tibialis tendon (front of ankle) causing major chafing since I run without socks. Grip is OK, but I could see how spikes, or the possibility of adding them, would improve this shoe.
