  1. Best NB Minimus for Road Running?

    Has anyone here tried the NB Minimus Trail or Life/Wellness for road running? Any comments or impressions on which would be the better option. I got to see pre-producion models for all three of the Minimus offerings last October, and I could tell off the bat that the Road model has too much...

    Jason,  did you try the Jason, did you try the Trails on concrete or blacktop at all? If so, how did they hold up if you're at liberty to say? I imagine that they are not really designed for it, but I though I'd ask. I do a majority of my running on pavement. I've really struggled to...
  6. New Balance MT-100/MT-101 Heel Shave

    I have seen photos and videos of Anton Krupicka taking a knife to the heels of his NB trail shoes to give them a neutral heel drop. Has anyone here ever tried it? I bought a pair of MT-101's a few weeks ago for a winter time snow/ice shoe and some trail work. I tried them out on the pavement to...
