I've had the New Balance Minimus trail shoe for about a month now and I finally had the chance to put them to the test. I used them on a long hike up a mountain and ran the whole way down with them too. I was very impressed to say the least! They gripped to everything very well and I felt like I was a mountain goat while I was cruising down the mountain.They are more of a minimalistic shoe and should only be very slowly worked into your runs to avoid injury. Either way I would say it would be a good idea to check in at a specialty running shop and ask if this shoe would be a good fit for you. If you're looking for a trail shoe for this summer to go on some hikes with, this might be your answer! Enjoy
