4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Shoe. Comfortable for 3-5 mile runs., June 24, 2010
This review is from: New Balance Men's MT572 Trail Running Shoe (Apparel)
I bought this shoe at a FootLocker for $65.
I wish I bought them here since they're cheaper.
I use them for running on a 3.5 mile dirt and grass path that runs near my house. It should be noted these running shoes are NOT made for running on pavement. I bought some New Balace MR7500's for that. These do not have the shock absorption for running on hard surfaces, it gave me shin splints after just 2 miles with these shoes.
However, on a trail (as their design suggests) they are incredibley comfortable. I also like the dark colors with bright yellow streaks. Plus the shoe is also very light, and the mesh top keeps cool air flowing over your foot. Very nice effect.
I only give it 4 stars since after 5 miles on semi-hard, or 2 miles on very hard surfaces I get shin splints with these shoes. With my MR7500's I get no shin splints on hard surfaces for up to 10+ miles.
But its a trail running shoe made for running over dirt and grass. If you intend to run on trails in the woods this is your shoe.

Worth every penny, July 16, 2010
Bought these shoes because I do a lot of hiking trails with the dog on state land. These shoes give more support, to the base of my feet, then any I have tried so far. They make you feel very stable and give a lot of support to the outside of your foot. I plan on buying another pair, that I will keep clean, for daily use.
Highly recommended.

No Break In Needed - Great Workout Shoes, November 18, 2010
I have put some miles on these shoes and thought I'd share my experience. I was looking for workout shoes to use for jogging / running on a treadmill. I put a little over 2 miles on these shoes each workout and have been pleased with them. I'll give a quick rundown of potential Pros and Cons.
Pros:
1. These shoes are very comfortable when you get the correct size.
2. The shoes are light weight.
3. The mesh lets air ventilate through (This is nice as my feet get hot while running. I really like this feature.)
4. They are nice looking.
5. The price was awesome ($40 for the orange trim version. There is a lot of bang for your buck here.)
Cons:
1. The material would probably be hard to clean. (I haven't tested this since mine do not get dirty on the treadmill.)
2. The sizing is not the standard New Balance sizing. I have owned New Balance shoes and currently have a pair that are size 10D. That has always been the size I buy in New Balance, but I saw some reviews talking about sizing issues. I went to a retail shop to try them on and I had to move up half a size. 10.5D was perfect for me.
Sizing - I highly recommend this shoe, but I would try them on at a store to make certain they will fit comfortably. Try going with half a size bigger and see if it works for you as it did for me. They are a little more narrowed at the toe, so just try them on to test the fit.
I'll update this review later on as I put more mileage on these shoes. They are perfect for my needs at the moment.
