FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The MT10 models are typically available in standard widths. Please refer to specific product listings for width options. Measuring your foot length is recommended to find the best fit.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your foot length from heel to the tip of your longest toe. If your measurement falls between two sizes, it is generally recommended to choose the larger size for comfort, especially when considering hiking socks.

Can I use these for trail running?

Yes, the New Balance MT10 hiking shoes are often favored by trail runners who prefer a minimalist feel and excellent ground connection. Their lightweight nature and flexibility make them suitable for this activity.

What is the main difference between these and traditional hiking boots?

The MT10s are significantly lighter and more flexible, offering a more natural foot movement and better ground feel. Traditional hiking boots are typically heavier, more rigid, and offer more ankle support and protection, often with greater waterproofing.

How long will the traction last?

The durability of the traction depends on the surfaces you hike on and the frequency of use. Regular cleaning of the outsole will help maintain optimal grip.

Are these shoes waterproof?

These shoes are not explicitly waterproof but are constructed with breathable materials. They can handle damp conditions but are not designed for submersion in water.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.

This is common with minimalist shoes. Try wearing them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, double-check your sizing against the measurement guide.

Traction is insufficient on very wet or muddy surfaces.

The MT10 is designed for versatile traction but may have limitations on extremely slick conditions. Ensure the outsole is free of mud and debris. For significantly challenging wet terrain, consider shoes with a more aggressive tread pattern.

Feet feel sore after long hikes.

This can occur if your feet are not accustomed to minimalist footwear. Gradually increase your mileage and consider incorporating foot strengthening exercises. Ensure you are taking adequate breaks during long hikes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight, enhancing agility on trails.
  • Promotes a natural foot strike due to minimalist design.
  • Good ground feel for better awareness of terrain.
  • Durable outsole offers dependable grip.
  • Breathable materials keep feet comfortable.

Cons

  • Minimal cushioning may not suit all hikers, especially on very hard or long descents.
  • Requires an adaptation period for those used to highly cushioned shoes.
  • May offer less protection against sharp rocks compared to bulkier hiking boots.
  • Limited ankle support due to the low-cut design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. It is recommended to try them on with the type of socks you intend to wear for hiking to ensure a proper fit.

Compatibility: The MT10s are compatible with most standard hiking socks. They are designed for use on trails, dirt paths, and mixed terrain.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before long-term storage.
