Details

In the 730, New Balance has delivered a minimalist running shoe for the rest of us who aren't hard core runners with perfect form. Right from the drawing board, this shoe was designed to keep the weight down. The outsole is built with lightweight, flexible blown rubber for excellent protection without extra weight. The midsole features ACTEVA™ LITE, a polymer 24% lighter than standard foam, made to resist compression set - meaning it takes a beating without getting beat down and losing its cushioning properties. Lastly, the welded saddle provides a sock-like fit that makes this shoe feel like it's not even there.

Q: Right now I am running in a pair of WT20LG2 (really have no idea what all that means ;-p) I love that they are minimalist and are working great. I am looking to get a new shoe that will be a bit warmer for the winter. How does this compare? Thanks :)

Posted On: 12-10-19 By: tara

A: Hi Tara, We actually have a new version of the trail minimus that will be very similar to the WT20. The new version is the WO10. It is a very tightly woven material, so it is water resistant and more insulated for colder weather. It would be an awesome option for you. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you, Sabrina

Q: Hi there, I like the minimalist style of shoe, I've got a narrow foot though. Would the D width in the 730 be too wide for someone who would normally be a B width? Thanks!

Posted On: 12-10-07 By: Jamie

A: Hi Jamie, Most of our minimus shoes fit a little bit on the wider side, so I definitely would not recommend going into a D width if you have a narrow foot. We do carry the 730s in the B width as well as all of our other minimus shoes. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thank you, Sabrina

Q: Hi, I was able to recently try on a pair of the minimalists zero shoes at a store in my town, the fit was great and I really liked the 0 drop but I'm a bit nervous to go THAT minimalist. The 730's look like a good option that's still minimalist but not as hard core. I was wondering if the fit will be the same or if they'll have a wider toe box or something (as an example). Thanks!

Posted On: 12-10-05 By: Nancy

A: Hi Nancy, The last is the same in the 730 as the minimus zero runners, so they are going to fit almost exactly the same. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thank you, Sabrina

Q: hi, wondering what the rise of this shoe is? i'm looking for a zero rise shoe with a bit more cushioning, i've been running using 'barefoot' shoes for a year now but am finding more stress on longer runs but still would like to keep the zero rise if possible. if not these, any recommendations? Thanks Tara

Posted On: 12-09-01 By: Tara

A: Hi Tara - the 730 is a 4mm drop shoe. Zero drop is pretty popular these days, but zero drop often practically means zero cushioning. The 730s are a good transition shoe for people going from traditional runners to minimalist shoes. For a minimalist feel with a bit more cushioning, I'd take a look at the 1010s. Not zero drop, but minimalist style with great cushioning.

Q: Is the 730 available in a 2E width?

Posted On: 12-06-09 By: Roy

A: Hi Roy - sorry about the delayed response; not sure how I missed your question. The 730 was brought out with 2E widths available; however that availability is dwindling. Right now it looks like the only 2Es available are the 8, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 12, and 13 in the Grey with Orange. Please give us a call at 1-888-501-1333 if you'd like to order any of those. - Thanks, Nathan

  • 0.3 product jungernaut 2013-02-21" 1.0 5.0 5 If you're considering moving toward zero-drop, these are the perfect transition shoe. They are listed at 4mm, but have been measured at 3mm, and feel like 0mm. They are very low to the ground so you get excellent feel, and they work your feet muscles. They offer a nice cushy feel even if the midsole isn't very thick. If you heel-strike though, they'll let you know you're running less than optimally. The sole is completely rubber lined, except for the plentiful flex lines. As such, you get good grip, good overall wear, and very good flexibility. They are also very lightweight. The toe box is very wide, perfect for barefoot training, but it's a bit shallow, so I do not recommend wearing these with socks. They are not advertised as Minimus shoes, but if you look inside, you'll see the "<=>" (less equals more) symbol, so they are indeed sockless Minimus lasts. The uppers are seemless to support this. If you're thinking of going with Minimus, these are cheaper and sort
