Light weight -
They are very comfortable and light weight. Your feet and legs are not tired at the end of the day because of the weight.

Comfortable and light all around shoe -
These are very light New Balance with a moderate arch support. I cannot wear heavy athletic shoes. I even wear them without socks and they are great! I always order 1/2 size up in New Balance.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Rykas because these are also less heavy of an athletic shoe.

Great shoe!
Since this was my second pair of WR790, my review is positive. This shoe is lightweight, comfortable and the mesh covering keeps feet cool.

Lightweight, perfect fit for trail shoe -
Loved it. Super light, great for trail and street running. Buy a 1/2 size larger. Mesh makes shoes easy to clean and also helps stay cool.

Good looking, comfy, but not much traction -
Found these to be very slippery on tiled, smooth, and wet surfaces.

These shoes were exactly what I wanted - light, comfortable, easy to throw on. I wore them all over London the first time out of the box - and wore them sockless… and they did great.

Nice looking, comfortable shoe. You might want to get a half size larger than what you normally wear.

WR790 review -
I like this NB very much. They’re better looking and lighter feeling than other NB's I have. This shoe can take my orthotic well.

I have worn NB's for many years as advised by podiatrist. These have to be the most form fitting, most comfortable NB I have owned to date. I love 'em.

A good everyday shoe.
This is a nice looking shoe. Nice weight, great color choices, comfortable. I wear it everyday for normal activity. I'm an under pronator and my custom orthotics do not fit this shoe. That's why I gave this shoe 4 stars instead of 5. I use a different shoe with a corrective arch and heel for serious workouts.

Great trail shoe - I love this shoe! Simply put it was easy to pack, comfortable to wear, and looked cool. It is a very light shoe with great grippers for rocky trails.

Nice look, but not great fit -
I really liked the shoe, but it had no arch support for me. I recently started a boot camp class with running and needed a good shoe. This was not it. I ended up keeping the shoe and I ordered another brand from Zappos.

New Balance WR790 -
I have worn out three pairs of this shoe...it's comfortable, durable, attractive, and is a great overall shoe for the money. It has a tailored, sporty look with a roomy toe box, fits snugly at the ankle, and comes in multiple colors. Good value for the money. I wore off the tread before I wore out the body and that's with lots and lots of use.

Perfect shoe -
I bought this shoe to perform multiple tasks as a running/hiking/walking around town shoe, and so far it has been awesome. They are SUPER light and they fit my narrow feet perfectly. I am between sizes 7.5 and 8, and I ordered up and they fit like a dream. I bought them in the color "surf" and they are so cute! I want to buy them in every color now!

Suitable for travel -
I wore this shoe when touring Florence and Rome. It was okay, but probably would have been better if I had gotten one with more support in the arch and the heel. My orthotics would not fit it. No serious problems, however, and the shoe looks great in the Raspberry 08 colors.

Love Them!!!
From the first time I tried them on, they were very comfortable. Did not need to be broken in. They were also lightweight and didn't feel like I had weights on my feet. I wore them a few days and decided I needed another pair in a different color. I highly recommend them.

These shoes are light as a feather and very comfortable. I just use them for walking and they are perfect. They keep my feet cool in the hot weather, and they also look great.

These shoes are so great. I love them. I got the raspberry ones and they look so neat. Not to mention how comfortable they are. I have a lot of problems with my legs and have problems with clots so, these are awesome! I will definitely get another pair in the future. And of course Zappos makes it so simple. I had never ordered from them before and I was impressed all around. I looked around all over town and could not find this price!

Aces -
I have serious gait problems due to MS and I've been looking for a shoe that provides support without the weight that usually goes with it and this shoe is a perfect fit. It really is super lightweight, as advertised, yet supports like a heavier athletic shoe.

Good little walking shoe -
I've been giving these shoes quite a work out during the past couple of weeks. Typically, I walk 4 miles on a rough gravel/large stone path. These shoes do the job of taking the jolts and cushioning my feet. I would buy them again.

Not Consistent from Color to Color!
I ordered my usual New Balance size in the grey/purple color. They were too small and my toes were hitting the top of the shoe. After exchanging them for the next size up, I still had the same problem. The problem was that although the shoe "fit" there was no give. The material would not allow for that. HOWEVER, after returning the shoes, I found the same shoe in brown/raspberry in a store and they had a different material only in the toes!! I only had to go up a half size and the top of the shoe was a different material than the shoes that were grey/purple. The shoes are identical in every way except the material used for the top of the shoe. But now that I have my new shoes, I LOVE THEM!

Love these - but order a 1/2 size bigger -
Love these. Super lightweight. Great arch support for me. Cool looking without looking like I'm trying to be cool. Super soft mesh. All around, there's nothing I don't like. Just order 1/2 size larger. I am always a 7 but the 7-1/2 fits perfect.

Great walking shoe for summer. Super lightweight and the mesh keeps your feet cool. Be sure to buy a 1/2 size larger than you normally would. Seems to run small and you will want the extra toe room for walking.

Not Quite What I Had Hoped For -
This shoe is super cute, very light and would be great on race day and that's about it. It is comfy but not very durable. I went out for 2 easy short runs (about a mile each) and I didn't even run the whole way because I am just starting for the season and haven't run in over a year due to being pregnant so they were very easy paced runs. The heel is already starting to crease and wear down. I have had to buy a new pair of shoes that I can run in full time. I would be buying a new pair of shoes now anyway if I wore these to run in. I'm bummed because I love New Balance. They are very cute though and if you're not wanting to put miles on them they're great.
