How it ranks
The New Balance MR00 v2 trails most daily trainers in our data. Looks and value are its strongest sub-ratings. Cushioning scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 9 runner reviews and 1 other rated shoe in the MR00 product line. Another 3 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
69/100
“After barely 50 miles started to fall apart. The bottom began to tear off.”
“They disappear on my feet and just let me run.”
“I've used it for two years now and it shows only minimal wear.”
“Lasts like 500 miles.”
“A bit narrow on the inside of the midfoot, near the sole.”
“Perfect for someone who prefers a minimalist shoe but finds the Vibrams to be too little.”
“Wears out fast sometimes.”
