This is my first "barefoot" shoe and I absolutely love it. I'm usually a size 10 for other New Balance shoes and the size 10 in this version fit me well, both with and without socks.

I jogged for a mile with no socks on concrete when I first tried the MO10 on and the next day my legs and feet were very sore, but after about a week, I have adjusted to them and it'll be hard for me to go back to regular jogging sneakers. I can transition from a trail to pavement and there is enough sole protection to cushion my feet as I go long distances. It's quite amazing shoe technology.

Lastly, this shoe is stylish, modern, and the blue/black color matches all my clothes.
