Shoe came in too small at the toe so I returned the item.  I really love NB trail shoes and have been wearing them for the past 12 years. Recommend getting the wide version (2E) of your flat footed.

13 June 2015:After using these for a couple of months, I'm revising my review.  I had an older pair, and I tried those on.  the sizes are not consistent, with this current set causing discomfort.  I'm not very happy with them now as I'm feeling pinched in the shoes.  I noticed on a different NB model that they too are not sized correctly and are small.  The workmanship of the shoes are not as good, and they are not wearing as well over time.  NB needs to rethink their manufacturing process.  If they are having these made by a different supplier, than they are not living up to the previous specs.  No longer very happy with these.

This is the 4th pair of NB Walking shoes I've bought in the past 4 years.  Their predecessors wore well, lasting a long time.  They fit well and are very comfortable.

So far (a couple of weeks) the new shoes are very good.  However the previous pair of the same model number FELL APART after a couple of months of routine use.  Totally unacceptable (shoddy?).  The new pair have somewhat different colors and perhaps are made stronger where the older pair repeatedly ripped.  The older pair repeatedly ripped in both shoes at about the same points in the front third of the shoes on the sides and the top.  I like this model trail shoe for its comfort, traction, and low weight on the trail.  Particularly on steep dusty sections of mountain trails where the traction keeps me safe and vertical.  Almost as good as my much heavier hiking boots.

I have been wearing NB 587 (or its predecessor) for over 20 years. But apparently NB discontinued it in favor of a Chinese made 580. Too bad, it was a great shoe. So I switched to the 990. I have owned a pair before. They are a great shoe that fits like it should. They are well made and don't fall apart under hard use. My only complaint from my previous pair is that the sole wears out fast. Much faster than the 587. For such an expensive shoe, I wish they would last longer.

I do love the way these shoes fit, I love the way they feel, and I love that even though the rubber toe is peeling away from teh rest of the shoe that the sole is still in place and not peeling and it's wearing fine.  But why is the rubber toe peeling away?  It did that almost 2-3 months after I had them, and I don't even run every day.  I got these as a replacement to my other NB minimus shoes, but those held up better.  I love the shoe, the style and fit and overall sole durability, but come on, gotta step up quality production or quality control. I wonder if my next ones will do the same but now I might look to see if another shoe brand fits as well.

So, I've had many pairs of new balance...this is my 4th pair of the trail shoes,  I actually don't do a lot of trail running or hiking..I have done a bit of road running, though.  My 1st pair was the WT20GB, I still wear these, they've been great.  My 2nd and 3rd pairs were 1010v2, which I think are the most comfortable.  However, the hexagonal treads on the bottom popped off, broke, and were torn within a few short weeks.  After exchanges and returns, I opted for these WO10s.  These may have been the least comfortable out of all the pairs I've owned.  The rise of the back near my Achilles tends to rub and the insole feels lumpy under the ball of my foot.  I did a week's worth of hiking in these out in Arizona, and it was nice being able to wipe them clean.  However, I felt like the hexagonal tread was a little slick on rocks.  This is my 2nd week in with these shoes and the tread is breaking off....very disappointed.  I have got used to this low profile type of shoe, but the manufacturing of their product is really disappointing, especially for the price point.  I don't think I will buy another pair, so disappointed.

I have wide feet and NB makes shoes that fit me.  I particularly like this model and have worn out two previous pairs of these - soles eventually came off - which may be something that NB might want to check into. I think they are great shoes and very reasonably priced.

My new NB's were not very comfortable at first. They took a month or so to break in. Now, I love them!

I love these shoes. I'm on my third pair. I heard that Merrell discontinued this shoe and I don't understand why. They also had a boot version of the spire that was great and it is definitely discontinued. Argh! If anyone from Merrell is reading - please keep making the Spire. I love the arch support. I wear these with my orthotics and they work great together.

My one and only complaint about the shoes that the tread starts to separate from the shoe  and wear out before the rest of the shoe does. Other than that I absolutely adore the shoes I wear them at least 4 days a week. I wear them to work with slacks. I wear them with jeans.  I can walk miles in the shoes and feel really comfortable.

I've only just received these so can't speak much about how they are in the cold etc. They look fantastic - kind of like I've hiked through the desert a few times in them, a bit weatherbeaten. They are very comfortable. But I have to go out and buy some shoe glue - the bit where the sole meets the upper is already coming apart in one place! I'd return them but it was hard to get a pair in my size and I live in New Zealand so the shipping costs are a bit crazy. Please do better in future, vivobarefoot!

First off, the road shoe version of this (MR) is great.  I've had four pairs and they're stellar and durable.  However, in the selection above, some of the color options (e.g the GY) are their trail version, which I recently purchased.  I keep accurate mileage logs on all my shoes, and the bottom lugs on these trail one (GY variant, meaning the gray and yellow) have all started to come off around 125 miles (!!!!).  Sooo.... the road shoes are awesome, but stay far away from the trail shoes; I'd consider these defective.  I think NB has discontinued the trail shoe variant, but they're still on sale here so be forewarned.

I have a hard to fit foot (4E) and it's hard to find shoes I can wear and was always forced to buy New balance.  I bought a pair of these because of the great luck I've had with Clark shoes and I love them, and they will out last New Balance by 2 to 3 times! My biggest disappointment in NB is how quickly the sole or cushion breaks down, this is wear the Clarks really shine for me.  I've found nothing that fits as good as a Clark shoe I now own 12+ pair and like them all especially my unstructured un.coil shoes (best shoes I've ever owned by a mile.  You can't be disappointed in these shoes! My wife has also switched over to Clarks and loves them just as much as I do.  Another good shoe is Sketchers for sneakers which is much better than NB also.  I'm done with NB....

I love these shoes, except for one thing. I have bunions and where each of the bunions hit, the shoes rub blisters. I have several pairs of Keen sandals and I love them, however, these are leather. I knew they would take some stretching out, but where the leather on the sole comes up on the side it hurts. I wore them anyway, thinking that they would get softer, but they wore such a big blister on my foot I couldn't wear them for a while. Yesterday I tried to wear them again and they were so painful where the blister was that I couldn't wear them even with padding of several band aids. I don't want to send them back, I know it is too late for that, but I would like to know if the seller or anyone else has had this trouble and how I can fix this. I love the shoes and I know that my bunions are the cause, but I need a fix. Help!!!! I will continue to buy Keen shoes because they have the best arch support I have ever had. They are the only shoes I can wear......except for this pair.

Having had other Brooks running shoes, I have to say I really, really love these Ghost 9's.  I purchased a pair of Brooks in June and unfortunately they were the first pair that I have ever had go bad.  The left shoe literally broke down in the arch in less than 6 months.  The Ghost 9 I think are now my new favorites.  I love the way they do truly make you feel like you are walking on a cloud.

I am so so sad to see NB no longer making this particular model. I absolutely love this shoe.

I've always worn NB shoes but this is the first time I've gotten this "model number".  They're great and I really like them.  They're my "dress NB's" and I wear my plain white ones for working out!

I have not bought a pair of running shoes other than Nimbus since I got my first pair. I think I'm on pair 10 now? It could be more! They're carried me across marathon finish lines, triathlon race courses and up & down mountain trails.
