This is my second pair of NB WA790 and they are just great. They are so light you hardly know that you have them on. They also have enough support to make your feet feel comfortable when walking. I would recommend them to anybody.

I have always loved New Balance shoes but these ones not so much. They are too lightweight for my taste and my foot seemed to move around too much inside of the shoe. I purchased them for walking and they just do not work as well as I would have hoped. The shoes definitely are not too small, but my toes seem to slide into the front of the shoe. I am used to wearing more of an athletic type New Balance shoe and I guess I should just stick with what I'm used to. On the plus side, the shoes are extremely light weight. If you are looking for a light weight shoe, these may be for you.

I have narrow feet, but with bunions (bunionettes) on the outsides of both feet. So, I need very wide toe box but narrow heel. I bought these in 9.5 wide and they fit perfectly! I'm not a runner, but I've walked 10 miles at a time in them without problems. They work well for exercise classes, too, because they are lightweight. And they are really cute; make my feet seem much smaller, too.

As good as sneakers get. I am someone who really dosn't like sneakers but these are a good compromise when I need to wear them for work. They are kind of snug to the foot and shaped so that they don't make me feel like I'm wearing big clunky gym class shoes. They are very light and comfortable. I have the brown ones and they are especially good because the tred and sole are not white which adds to the less-sneakery appeal. New Balance are always a half size small for me.

Love these shoes. This is my third pair. I have very high arches/instep. These shoes offer support and style. I especially like the low profile and level foot bed.

I needed a very comfortable pair of shoes because I am recovering from bunion surgery. These shoes were a perfect choice. I ordered wide because my foot is still slightly swollen and I can wear these all day. I usually wear 8 but ordered 8.5 and I'm glad I did because they run a little short.

Comfortable and lightweight, these are the shoes I wear at the gym. I have a wide foot, and appreciate the D width. The shoes (the Wide Version, at least) are WA790, not WR (see the helpful reviewer from New Mexico's comments). They do not have much arch support; however, if you take out the flimsy insole, there's ample room for a green Superfeet insole, which really makes a difference. I'm planning to buy another pair to wear out and about.

These shoes are very cute and satiny. They fit well. Not a lot of arch support, but I wasn't looking for a heavy duty walking or running shoe. Did I mention that they are cute? They feel like slippers, which is comfy, but not practical for mountain climbing, in case you were wondering.

Got these in a size 5 and they are one of the most comfortable and stylish sneakers I have ever purchased! They are a true size 5. They're lightweight, flexible, and great for walking. I got these in black and I'll definitely buy these again. Thank you Zappos for carrying small sizes!

I purchased these shoes in grey/blue. I've only worn them twice, but so far, I love them. They are very stylish, comfortable, and light. I plan to take them on vacation with me for easy walking around, hiking, and long kayaking trips. I'm confident they'll be perfect for all that as well as walking around the city on the weekends or after work when I'm home.

I called Zappos and was connected with the running/walking advisor on what shoe to pick. She helped me pick an awesome New Balance shoe that only weighs 6.60 ounces. I requested a light weight shoe. I do not like heavy shoes. I love the gray and red combo. I really should buy another pair. I wanted a shoe for walking on my treadmill. The advisor was so helpful and spent a lot of time with me on the phone. One of the many great things about the Zappos team is they never rush you off the phone.They spend as much time with you as necessary. Nobody is sitting there watching a clock to make the sale and get you off the phone. I am hooked on Zappos customer service. Thank you gang.

These shoes are for anyone who spends a lot of time walking/running around, especially for work. Extremely lightweight. The material allows for air to constantly move in/out of the shoe keeping your feet cooler & more comfortable.

I wanted comfortable shoes in which I could walk for miles, and they fit the bill perfectly: they feel great, have excellent arch support, and breathe well. They're also good looking, even better than I thought they would be from the website. They do run a bit small. Someone mentioned this in the review I read, so I ordered a half size larger than usual, and they fit fine.

I ordered this shoe in the raspberry color for work and am very impressed. I'm on my feet all day, 5-6 days a week in food service and these keep my feet cool and comfortable. I love the breathable mesh uppers! Their sleek and trim design helps keep my already large feet from looking like marshmallows, as they tend to in bulky athletic shoes. My only complaint is to echo another reviewer: they are very slippery on flat, wet surfaces. Tread carefully!

I bought these shoes because of their lightness and grip. I use only the right shoe on a prosthetic foot and needed something that won't slip on the ice this winter. They give a very secure grip even on wet floors.

I hunted down this cute shoe after being unable to find my size at local shoe stores. I ordered a half size up and I'm glad I did. These are very lightweight and comfortable. I hoped the mesh would make them cooler, but it doesn't. The bottoms are very slippery on damp stone and concrete. I fell and banged up my neck and back the very first time I wore the shoes. So be careful, and enjoy them!

I just recieved my New Balance slip on sneakers in record time! Wow. I usually take a 8-1/2 or 9 and ordered the 9. I am glad I did because it fits perfect-I am wearing them without socks. 8-1/2 would have been way to small.Love them, only had them on for about 10 minutes but the one thing is the elastics are a little tight on one foot. Not to worry, keepers for sure, they are very cute. Never have seen these on anyone before. Hopefully the elastic will loosen after some wear. They are so light also.Wish they had more styles/color in this, I would buy another. Thank you!

This shoe is great! I am an avid walker with with plantar fasciitis so I am seemingly on an unending quest for comfortable shoes. These shoes do the job for sure. VERY SOFT! VERY COMFORTABLE. I appreciate that it's lightweight as well. I also dig the fact that they do not look orthopedic like most walking shoes. I found that the fit was true to size and had no issues with arch support. I am buying my 2nd pair of these shoes now.

Terrific shoe! Looks great and extremely comfortable. I wore them all day on the 4th and my feet felt good at the end of the day. The mesh material allows for plenty of air flow and the shoe itself is light as a feather. Especially great for traveling via airplane - easy to slip on and off during the check-in process. I would highly recommend this shoe to anyone looking for a versatile yet stylish sport shoe.

 |  | Wow. Now THAT'S service. My husband has used your shoes for the past few years, since he found this particular Nike brand that worked well. He's retiring on the 30th after 32 years with UPS (never took a sick day, never missed work, and never had an accident or injury. He was last year's Utah Driver of the Year) and I told him he just HAD to get some new shoes for the occasion. They'll honor him for a few minutes before everyone takes off for the work day, so we were worried if they'd get here in time. He's told lots of UPS'ers about his shoes, and your site. Thanks for your excellent service. We'll continue using your site over all others because of your attention to detail and your excellent track record. No sales tax, no shipping fees, and now, faster shipping. Couldn't be better. Sincerely, Ruth E.
