I had the mt20v1 for a year! They were my primary pair of shoes. I wore them to work, school, the gym, on hikes, to disneyland, everywhere. I put many many miles on them and they treated my feet like royalty. After a year, one of the loops on the back and some of the vibram treads were peeling off. I was fine with that considering how rough I had treated them. I was sold on New Balance.

When I saw these come out, I decided it was time to upgrade. These had to be better since they were the newer model right? Fresh new look and colors. Space age materials. How could I go wrong? These shoes are complete GARBAGE. First off, the sizing is MUCH different than the MT20v1's. I wore an 11 Wide in the old version, so I ordered the same in these. WAY TOO BIG. Too wide and too long. Ordered a 10 1/2 wide, slightly too wide, slightly too long, ordered an 11 normal, WAY TOO LONG. Ordered a 10 1/2 normal, WAY TOO SMALL!

I settled on the 10 1/2 wides and set out to use them for about 6 weeks till the fabric all around flexing point of the toe box started to fray and get big gaping holes. Now they are in worse condition than my MT20v1's. Burned hard by New Balance. I will be trying to order new MT20v1's
