FAQs
Are the New Balance Minimus T10 suitable for intense running?
The Minimus T10 is designed with a minimalist, close-to-the-ground feel, making it best suited for light outdoor activities, walking, and short, natural-feel runs. For intense or long-distance running, New Balance offers other models with more structured cushioning.
How do I best clean the suede material?
To clean the suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning or stains, a suede eraser and a dedicated suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth are recommended. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely.
What does 'close-to-the-ground feel' mean for my feet?
This design philosophy means the shoe has a low stack height and minimal cushioning, providing a more natural connection between your foot and the ground. It can enhance proprioception and encourage more natural foot mechanics, but it might take some time for your feet to adapt.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The suede upper is not inherently waterproof. While a protective spray can offer some resistance, it's best to avoid heavy rain or very wet conditions to prevent damage to the material and maintain the shoe's aesthetic.
What is the FuelCell midsole?
FuelCell is New Balance's high-rebound foam technology designed to deliver maximum energy return, providing a propulsive feel and responsive cushioning for comfort during wear.
What is the benefit of a Vibram outsole?
Vibram outsoles are renowned for their exceptional durability, superior traction, and grip on a variety of surfaces. This makes the Minimus T10 reliable for stability during light outdoor activities and everyday use.
Is the sizing true to fit?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent. This specific model is a UK size 11. We recommend consulting the official New Balance sizing chart for precise measurements and conversions to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or stained.
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, gently blot with a specialized suede cleaner and a clean cloth, then brush once dry.
Shoes feel too minimalist or lack cushioning for my feet.
The Minimus T10 has a close-to-the-ground feel by design. Give your feet time to adjust. For additional comfort, consider thin, minimalist insoles that do not significantly alter the shoe's intended feel, but note this may alter the 'minimalist' experience.
Slippage on certain surfaces despite Vibram outsole.
Ensure the Vibram outsole is clean, as dirt or debris can reduce traction. Regularly clean the tread with a stiff brush and water. While Vibram offers excellent grip, extreme conditions like ice or heavily oiled surfaces may still pose a challenge.

Care Instructions for Suede
The 100% high-quality suede upper requires specific care to maintain its appearance and durability:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This helps repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn spots, use a suede eraser or a damp cloth with a specialized suede cleaner. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Avoid Water: Suede is not waterproof. Minimize exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions. If exposure is unavoidable, reapply protector spray after drying.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
