As mentioned. I have been looking for a pair of new mizuno spikes for a long time and this was definitely a great buy for me. However, there was a blue pen marking on the side of the spike which was not a good thing but not a deal breaker nonetheless.

New Balance Women's WT20v2 Minimus Trail Running Shoe Reviews
I read literally hundreds of Amazon reviews on how this shoe fit before ordering and had a bit of a sizing struggle so wanted to write this review in hopes that it might help someone else. :-)
First I tried model WT20v1 (first version). I wanted to love this shoe but it ran very small in comparison to the WT20v2 model. The width and toe box are the same dimensions in both models but the length is very different. I normally wear a size 8.5 or 9 in running shoes and ordered both sizes. Couldn't even get the 8.5 on. The 9 fit but was very snug and I could have used a 9.5 (and I've never gone that large in shoes before). I also ordered both sizes in the WT20v2 and what a difference! There is roughly 3/4 inch difference in length between a size 9 in each model, with the WT20v2 being longer.. .it was actually too big for me. The size difference between the 9 in WT20v1 and a size 8.5 in the WT20v2 was around 1/4 inch, with the smaller size WT20v2 STILL being larger than the size 9 of the former shoe! I also felt like I had more "wiggle" room in the WT20v2, even though it was a half size smaller than the other model. I am better able to splay out my toes more for a more natural bare-foot style run.
Both shoes felt basically the same, but I like the sole and traction better on the WT20v2. . it also seemed to have a bit more support. So if you like the original WT20v1, then I would suggest ordering up at least a whole size (especially if you have long toes like me. My foot is not wide, at all!) The WT20v2 is more true to size and you can order your normal shoe size and it should work out very well. I ended up going with a size 8.5 in the WT20v2 and couldn't be happier. Oh, I also got the pink shoe and the color is not quite as vibrant as what I see on the computer monitor. It is more of a raspberry pink and very pretty. I absolutely love the Minimus once you work around the funky sizing! Just my two cents.
They arrived, and I tore open the box and put them on to find that they were probably 2 sizes too big! How can this happen, they are exactly the same size. They had to be returned at some expense to then get the women's version in a much smaller size. These felt a bit big too... Starting to get frustrated. Kept them, though need to wear thicker socks than normal.
It's like the very thin fabric used to make the Minimus 20 means that you need 1.5 to 2 sizes smaller than you would normally buy. There's no bulk at all to pad out the shoe, like in a regular running shoe. So they are a bit of a strange fit for a first timer.
Aside from that, they are super light, a little hot, have a very sticky sole that wears quickly (so I try to keep mine for trails only and not the road). They look good and feel good and I like them. There is plenty of competition out there in this market, and it'll probably pay to shop around for the best fit before committing to a particular brand.
The second review...
This is an addition to my first review which was written before the shoes weren't used extensively. Have the shoes been used extensively now... no. Not the shoes fault, but more mine. My sheer enthusiasm to get out and run trails with this new style of shoe, lead to an injury, and there hasn't been much running since. Needed to ease into barefoot running.
The reason for the second review is that with only 6 times being used, the shoes developed holes on one side. Where the right little toe rubbed on the fabric and just below that where the shoe bends. I was surprised and disappointed that this happened to a relatively brand new pair of shoes. What poor quality! Based on this, I really couldn't recommend these shoes. I think there are cheaper barefoot running shoes out there that would have to be more sturdy.
My only complaint is the inside of my right shoe, on the bottom, in the toe area, I can feel the seam. I was going to return it because maybe this is a defect but I had already run 4 miles in them and they were muddy so I decided not to return them and just taped the inside of my shoe. No one will ever know and I don't feel the seam anymore. Looks good too :) I am happy.
To get an idea what I like. My previous running shoe was the New Balance WT560 love it!!! I still use this shoe for pavement running because it has more "cusion". I did NOT like the original WT20 at all. It was too short. I am glad I heard about them making this v2, which is longer. I am size 10 in running shoes. 9.5 in regular shoes.
Hope this helps! It's hard to buy shoes online.

I tried three different pairs of New Balance barefoot running shoes. The first was a mens Minimus 10, they were a pretty good fit, but the colors and styling weren't for me. So I looked on Amazon and found the Minimus 20 and bought the same size as the Minimus 10.They arrived, and I tore open the box and put them on to find that they were probably 2 sizes too big!

Awesome shoes, have owned similar NB styles previously great fit, comfort and all the rest. Unfortunately this pair were poorly made and both shoes developed holes in the upper mesh of the shoe after only 2 weeks of very light use. Very disappointed, but as always Amazon were quick to respond & assist with a refund.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for New Balance Women's WT20v2 Minimus Trail Running Shoe
This shoe would be PERFECT if it wasn't for the fact that it is a size too long and the toe bed is very wide. I have read on other sites that the WT20 v1 fits more narrow and true to size. So, if your feet need shoes that run wide and long go for this model the WT20v2. It really is a shame that they do not fit me.

I usually wear a 9.5 so this was a big large but not too big, they are okay with socks. So it's no too disappointing. However if I wear to buy again it would be a size 9. Otherwise I am very happy with them. These are great if you have to be on your feet alot, very cushy and very light.

I have flat feet all my life and have been trying different in sole support and arch support, I have to say this one works the best by far. It is like custom made because the whole thing can be adjusted to fit...from the top to the bottom of the straps to the placement of the little cushion. The only negative I have to say is that I was not aware that there is only one support in the package, usually it comes with a pair. I just found it a bit deceiving not to state that, but may be I did not read the description carefully. But in any case, I think it should be stated in the product name. So if you add up the price for a pair, it is very pricey. I would probably not buy this if I knew, but then I would never know this product is the best (in my opinion). It is pricey but I am very happy with it because it works, and I rather spend money on works.

This is a good concept but I feel that it falls short of its claims. This may help some people but not everyone. The strap allows the product to be adjustable to accommodate a wide range of foot sizes; also the support cushion can be placed in the specific area where you may need it on the brace. I feel the big downside of this product is the actual support it provides. There is a tear shaped support cushion that goes in the bottom of the brace, this cushion is comfortable but unless you are wearing a shoe or have your foot flat on the floor it fails to provide any benefit in my opinion. I feel that the description makes brief reference to wearing this while wearing shoes but does not list it as only being effective when wearing shoes. I also feel that in comparison to other items on the market it is extremely expensive because they are sold individually.Again, this product may help some people but has not really given me any benefit that would make it worth the price.

I have a bad bunion and was having some discomfort on the inside of my foot. It felt like I needed more support so I purchased the arch support. It really helped quite a bit. It was easy to fit. I was able to run 6 miles while wearing it and didn't have any skin breakdown. If there is any downside to the arch support it would be that it is kind of thick when wearing street shoes and felt slightly tight but I didn't have the pain.Honest reviews on Alpha Orthotics Corp Mid-foot Arch Support White

I bought these for my indoor soccer league this summer. Until now I've always owned black shoes and wanted to change it up a little bit. I wear size 10.5 and these were a little tight. I would order a half size larger next time. Also the indoor field's turf I played at had those black beads and after our very first match my shoes were scuffed up. The toe also got battered after our first match.Basically I really like these shoes, but if you're actually using them for indoor soccer don't expect them to look new for long.

ZEMgear Women's Terra Split Toe Shoes Review
i love these! they don't use coconut based charcoal as the antimicrobial property, and they don't have latex in them. i'm VERY allergic to both. i had gotten a pair of the vff, which i loved but couldn't wear because of the coconut based insole. i don't have a local retailer out where i live, so i had to order them from amazon. sadly, they don't have the sizing chart for this brand. the pair i ordered were wonderful, but about 2 inches too long. after a bit of a hassle with the sizing, i did manage to find the right size. it took me 3 tries to get it right, but i'm a prime member, and my return shipping was also free. now that i have the right size, i may never take them off! they fit great, and it's much easier to get into these than the vff because of the split toe design, rather than the individual toe spaces.
they have different size guidelines on their website, and they sell those thru amazon, too! if you know your european size, i'd recommend sticking with that rather than using the crazy american sizing. it seems like the european sizes are more accurate for some reason, but the sizing that shoe companies use in the us doesn't seem to have any kind of logic behind it (like women's clothing!), i'm never the same shoe size from brand to brand.
overall, these are VERY comfortable, and i would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone ready to give "barefooting" a chance. all of the comfort of being barefooted, without any of the bruises.

Cheap Saucony Originals Men's Jazz Original Sneaker
I decided to buy a pair of these when my old Starter sneakers started to wear out. I'm not one of those men with a fixation with owning lots of shoes (in other words, I'm straight). I typically own two or three pairs of sneakers at a time, wearing them until they are torn scraps of leather and fabric clinging to my feet with frayed laces. These were recommended to me by my sister, a treadmill addict that lost over a hundred pounds in the last year (and is currently considering writing a diet book called the "Put the fork down and move your ass diet"). Ever since she started this exercise regiment, she has ran at least an hour a day, usually two, on her treadmill. She only ever used one pair of shoes throughout this process, a pair of Saucony, Jazz sneakers. She wouldn't shut up about how comfortable these shoes are. They were clearly durable since they lasted her a year, thousands of miles, and over a hundred pounds, and I thought they looked cool (even though hers were in a horrid and loud, bright turquoise color scheme). I went for the Black/Charcoal/Red color scheme myself, and I am very pleased with the way they look. Having tried them I can say that they are indeed highly comfortable, and I'm told they become more comfortable over time as the padding molds to fit your feet. As an added bonus for the lazy, such as myself, they have that perfect level of tightness so as not to fall off or slide around on your foot, but are loose enough that when tied properly, one can slide in and out them without undoing or tying the laces. I am extremely satisfied with these shoes. They are fashionable and comfortable, and--as my sister's story illustrates--highly durable. For thirty five bucks on Amazon these were cheaper than any pair of Nikes, better looking (most modern sneakers are so busy with patterns, this design is a happy medium between style and simplicity), more comfortable, and more durable. And, as Saucony manufactures in America, they were made by Mexican wage slave labor rather than Vietnamese child slave labor: I feel more patriotic already. So if you're a lazy, cheap, non-metrosexual male (or female without a shoe obsession, whom I am told exist) like myself that wants a quality, comfortable, stylish sneaker that he(/she) can run into the ground, look no further than Saucony Jazz.
I have wider feet and these fit well, and seem to fit to size. Each pair comes with a second color lace if you want to swap them out. The first 2 I wore for at least 6 months and they still had great soles to them with just a little noticeable wear on the heavier stepping points that I have.
With all the great things about these shoes, I gave them 4 stars due to the wrinkle that forms at the toe. Since I have had other pairs, this last go I bought spray to protect them from the weather, but they have done the same. Not a big deal, but wish I could figure out a remedy to stop that from happening.
Great classic look that gets compliments and feel great on the foot.
Within a couple days, the shoes had turned yellow. I used the same material approved spray that I've used on my other white shoes. They looked terrible, had never been wet from rain or any kind of moisture, but the yellow on top of the poorly sewn toes led me to return the shoes.
I'll definitely buy Saucony again but the white with blue didn't meet my expectations.
bonuses for this blackout version:
with a straight-cut or wide leg dress pant you can get away with these instead of work shoes.
comes with optional matching red laces [ caution, with black laces, can resemble orthopedic shoes].

I love the light weight aspect of Saucony shoes and my favorite pair of shoes happen to be Saucony and have worn well for me. I bought this set in white with blue trim and wasn't all that pleased when they arrived. The nose of the shoes seemed sewn in kind of a "skewed" way where they weren't nicely rounded like the photos.
