Verdict
The New Balance Minimus TR v3 is a solid performer — a minimalist training scoring 83/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 222g, it is notably lightweight for a minimalist training. The 17mm heel stack — a minimal stack — delivers a firm ride at 40 HC, returning 48% of impact energy and feeling cushion-focused rather than reactive underfoot. Geometrically, the Minimus TR v3 runs on a low 4mm drop that suits midfoot and forefoot strikers, with a 13mm forefoot stack that creates a naturally ground-hugging feel. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 94mm — roomy, with space for wider feet and swelling on long runs — and the upper is available in D/2E widths. True to size. Wide option available. Great ground feel. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for functional training, agility work, gym to light trail, ground feel, and performs less well for heavy lifting or running long distances.
