New Balance 40v1 Minimus Training Shoe Women's

When you're packing your bag to head to the box or gym at the crack of dawn, don't overthink which training shoes you're going to need. In fact, don't pack more than one. Toss the New Balance Women's 40v1 Minimus Training Shoe into your duffel, and you'll be ready whether your WOD includes treadmill sprints, stairs, or ten sets of handstand push ups. New Balance's Minimus line is relatively new to the heritage brand, known for walking and running shoes, and it takes inspiration from Good Form Running and the less is more minimalist movement. In creating the 40v1, New Balance introduced its most versatile iteration of the Minimus yet, with a 4mm drop that won't turn your Achilles tendons into rubber bands after more than a mile, and a stable REVlite heel that makes an ideal platform for gym workouts and lifting. With a relatively low stack height, it won't disrupt your form in the gym the way a more structured running shoe would. Slip on the 40v1 for a quick jog, and its light, breathable uppers will conform to all of the strange protrusions along your foot, while New Balance's springy Rapid Rebound midsole absorbs impact and Vibram rubber adds sticky grip on slicker surfaces. Part trainer, part cross trainer, the 40v1 Minimus simplifies training by doing it all.
