Expert Review Sources

  • Believe in the Run : 76.7 / 100 — « Pairing New Balance's New Balance proprietary foam platform with a 5 mm drop, the MT10 delivers an engaging, lively ride powered by its New Balance proprietary foam bounce (200 g). Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €120. »
  • RunRepeat : 75.6 / 100 — « We found it refreshing to see a traditional brand like New Balance still making true minimalist shoes. The MT10 mixes a classic running shoe fit with a moderate drop and a super-thin midsole. In our experience, it felt light, very flexible, and great for trail or road runs. The Vibram outsole grips well, and we believe it’s also a solid choice for anyone transitioning toward barefoot shoes. However, we really wish the toebox was wider and had more room for toe splay! »
  • Running Shoes Guru : 73.7 / 100 — « In New Balance's race & marathon lineup, the MT10 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (200 g, a 5 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for race & marathon training. »
