This shoe is perhaps the best trail runner I have ever owned, period. I am on the heavy side, for a trail runner, and this has the cushioning I like, without feeling like it is forcing me to heel strike. I am still able to run with a fore or midfoot strike comfortably in these and have the protection I want and need on my longer runs and hikes 20 mile +. I will purchase another pair of these for sure, when the time is right. The traction is great, and the toebox fits my wider foot perfectly I bout the 2E size in a 10.5 and it fit like a dream, even during a long hard run when the feet swell. Other shoes I have had to go up a size to get the width, but then the heel slips and causes blisters. This shoe did not do that.Best Deals on New Balance Men's MT1210 NBX Trail Shoe
I moved to this shoe after almost two years trail running and hiking on both the Brooks Cascadia 6 trail runner (Men's 10D) and the New Balance MR842 road runner (Men's 9EE). Both of those shoes were fine for runs and hikes of any distance as long as the trail was pretty mellow. But add big downhills and/or chossy, loose terrain and anything more than two hours turned into a long day outside for my dogs. Especially if I was also carrying a pack. It was hard to get the shoes tight enough to prevent mashing my toes on long descents and at the end of the day ankle support was wanting. The road shoe also had traction problems and both shoes left the bottoms of my feet sore due to their soles' flexibility. As it turns out, I think they were both too narrow for my foot, causing my heel to spill over the heel cup.Enter the New Balance MT1210. I was looking for something with a little more support and rigidity and was willing to sacrifice some trail feel to get it. I originally ordered this shoe in Men's 9EE but they were too narrow in the heel so I sent 'em back for the 9EEEE, which fit much better. However, I don't know if the shoes are sized a little narrow or if my foot is getting fatter. Whether trail running, light hiking, or overnight backpacking, everything is better in these shoes. They provide awesome traction and foot support, and even some ankle support, without giving up any trail feel when compared to my earlier Cascadias and NBs. Toe strike has been non-existent and the bottoms of my feet don't feel bruised at the end of the day. I also appreciated the extra space in the toe box and forefoot.
It did take me a few trial runs and walks to get the lacing just right to prevent heel slippage, but it was worth it.
Honest reviews on New Balance Men's MT1210 NBX Trail Shoe
I purchased these shoes as a trail runner/ light backpacking shoe. Although other reviews said they run big, which they do, it is for the purpose of letting your feet have room to swell on long days. I took them out for a short hike to try them out and they worked great. I didn't use all the lacing holes and my foot slid forward during a steep downhill section. Overall it was a good check. More recently I took them on a 16.2 mile hike/ run with 8,000' of elevation change. These shoes killed it! I had no hot spots or blisters all day and I never had problems on the bottom of my foot from the devil rocks on the trail. For this downhill I laces the shoes all the way up and my foot stayed in place. These are my new go to backcountry shoes and will be buying another pair once I wear these out.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for New Balance Men's MT1210 NBX Trail Shoe
