 Bring back the MT908 Jul 05, 2010
By trailrunner
Ditto on buying several pairs of a shoe you like, because the manufactures can't leave good enough alone. I've been trail running in the MT9XX series going back to the MT904. The MT908 was my favorite. I've been very happy with the Rock Stop and toe protection. For most of the series, the upper has been fairly comfortable after cutting off the high tab in the back that rubs on the Achilles tendon causing tendonitis [...]
New Balance has ruined the upper with the MT910. The height of the upper has increased with inflexible dense foam that cannot be easily cutaway. The stiff high-top padding may be appealing to someone looking for a hiking boot, but it injures your ankle and Achilles tendon if you run distances in them. Further, the top eyelet has a half inch wide hard plastic reinforcement that bruises the front of your ankle. New Balance has also changed the lacing configuration so that you cannot get a good fit with low-volume feet.
After suffering through about 80 miles in these shoes, they hurt just putting them on. Now I'm shopping for another brand of trail shoe with good rock protection and a low, flexible upper that fits a low-volume foot (like the MT908 minus the Achilles rubbing tab).

 NB MT910 Trail Runner Oct 25, 2011
By Gordon Gonzalez
I look for a shoe that has motion control and keeps my ankles from twisting as I walk or run in the fields with my dog. I have weak ankles. While I was in my teens and twenties, I repeatedly injured both ankles while playing sports. These shoes and the other NB trail running shoes which I've used over the years, because of their design and construction, give my ankles the support and control they need to minimize sprains while jogging or walking over irregular terrain.

Good trail hiking shoe Jan 15, 2012
By driven
I have the Goretex version of the 910 shoe and it has done a good job of keeping my feet warm. As a quick test I went on a 30 min walk in 9 degree temps and my feet stayed warm - using Smartwood mountaineering socks and this shoe.
These shoes seem to be able to grip just about everything, from rocks to lightly snow covered trails. The insole of the shoe isn't very thick but this has helped me balance on rocks without causing issues with longer walks.
When ordering these shoes you should keep in mind, that these shoes run about half a size to a full size larger than NB shoes normally run. The outside of the shoe has a hardened toe box and this adds some weight to the shoe but if you are looking for a rugged hiking shoe that is not an all out hiking book this shoe fits the bill.

 They do run big but otherwise decent shoe for the price Apr 06, 2011
By John
Bought these just wanting a darker colored shoe but not wanting to spend 140 on the more expensive NB's. I've always bought the same size shoes for new balance and these do run big compared to the others (I ignored the other reviews, trust me, they're right). Otherwise the shoes look really good and are pretty functional as well. One thing I did not notice is that the toe has this hard plastic on the front...this can effect the comfort. Also, they are firm...I would compare them to a stability runner in comfort.

 Does the job, but... Jan 14, 2011
By Ali R. Hesami
I wanted these shoes as winter footwear, not for running, and for that, they do well. There are a few issues, however:
- A whole size bigger and a bit wider than advertised.
- Stiff as a board!! A first for any shoe, Gore-Tex or otherwise, I've ever owned. It even makes a bit of a 'cardboard' noise at first! It does, however, soften a bit after a few hours of use, but still very stiff, at least for me. This is made more pronounced by the almost 'steel' strength toe protector.
- The edges where the last lace eyelet is rub on the ankle. Not a big deal to me, but can be painful to most.
On the plus side:
- Absolutely waterproof! The Gore-Tex does its job as advertised.
- The laces remain tied all day, no matter what.
- It looks really cool.
All in all, this shoe is a 'boot Lite', if there ever was such a thing. I don't wear it everyday, only in rain/snow, so I can live with its shortcomings.
However, your mileage will probably vary.
