FAQs
What does 'minimalist low-profile silhouette' mean for these shoes?
It means the shoes have less cushioning and a lower heel-to-toe drop compared to traditional athletic shoes. This design promotes a more natural foot movement and greater ground feel, which can help strengthen foot muscles.
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
The Minimus T10 is best suited for *functional training*, light trail runs, or short distances where ground feel and agility are prioritized over maximum cushioning. For long-distance or high-impact running, more cushioned shoes may be preferable.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the upper incorporates leather and textile, these shoes are not waterproof. They may offer some resistance to light moisture, but it's best to avoid heavy rain or puddles to protect the materials and prolong their life.
What is a Vibram sole and what are its benefits?
Vibram is a renowned brand for high-performance rubber soles. Their soles are known for their exceptional durability, superior traction, and resistance to abrasion, making them ideal for varied terrains and extended use.
How do I choose the correct size?
It's generally recommended to choose your standard UK shoe size. However, if you are new to minimalist footwear, some prefer to go half a size up for initial comfort. Always try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, especially for functional training.
Are these shoes vegan-friendly?
No, the New Balance Minimus T10 features a combination of leather and textile in its upper construction, making it unsuitable for vegan users.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Allow a short break-in period for the materials to adapt to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size. Minimalist shoes may feel different initially compared to traditional footwear.
Sole grip seems to be diminishing.
Regularly inspect and clean the `Vibram` sole. Dirt and debris can accumulate in the treads, reducing traction. Use a brush to clear any blockages.
Upper material (suede/mesh) shows signs of staining or wear.
Address stains promptly. Use a cleaning solution appropriate for mixed materials (leather and textile). For suede, a suede brush and eraser can help. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the fabric.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your New Balance Minimus T10 shoes, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the leather and textile upper, gently wipe away dirt with a *soft, damp cloth*. For stubborn stains, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically designed for mixed materials. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Sole: Brush off loose dirt from the Vibram sole using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to *air dry naturally* at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not submerge the shoes in water, as this can affect the leather and internal structure.
