Las vimos primero en pies de Anton Krupicka y luego en las calles. Algunos probadores hablaban de problemas con la tira que cruzaba la R10 de lado a lado y es algo que New Balance ya ha eliminado de su secuela, la MT20. El otro cambio sustancial se aprecia en la eliminación de piezas en la puntera. Visto aquí. […]

 I thought the same thing. A couple weeks ago I asked them if I could order the shoe from them and they said I could by phone and they would give me the discount. So I don’t understand what they mean by saying they will continue to stock them thru July. My understanding is NB won’t let them sell them online.

I like the look of the WT10 better than WT20. My WT10s though wore out at the upper part that covers the toes, that is my only complaint, I wish the upper hadn’t worn – it seems fragile at that point. I’m still wearing them but they don’t look so good. They are extremely comfortable for me.

I agree, I suppose those that have had problems with the toe band might disagree. I haven’t had that problem, and I love mine. Personally I think the MT20 is bland looking…

Interesting as RW does not stock this shoe yet.

Strange that Shoe Mart would be offering the cheaper version for $100 also…

Here’s some additional information from the Onlineshoes.com blog:
“OnlineShoes.com won’t carry the Minimus MT10, but this summer we will carry
the MT20 and the WT20 from New Balance, which are pretty much the same shoe
as the MT10 with some awesome updates.”

The response to the MT/WT10 has been outstanding!  The 20 is simple a “cheaper version” of the 10 that New Balane is making available to big box stores such as Shoe Mart. These big box stores are not allowed to sell the 10 because they do not have associates that are trained to sell and service this customer. The 20 has the same tooling on the bottom with a different upper, made with different materials.

It is not considered by New Balance to be an update. They are selling it in parallel to the MT10, and the MT20 is the version being sold in sporting goods stores and the like. Specialty running shops will continue to carry the MT10.
