I'll be the one to compare these to my beloved 790s. Although these replaced the 790s, the shoe really couldn't be more different. First, in terms of style, the MT100s with the red N are far superior. My wife noticed them right away; I personally would prefer an all black version as both styles in the MT100 come across as a little too metallic / disco for me, but I can't complain about the wife liking my shoes. Next, in terms of performance, I try to trail run as much as possible, but, living in New York, sometimes I just have to run on whatever I can. This, to me, is where the MT100s have fallen short relative to the 790s: these are way stripped down. As a result, I have had major fatigue issues in my legs. Now, believe it or not, I actually consider this a good thing: I'm working muscles in my lower legs that I didn't even know I had, but, man, the transition is severe (even from the 790s!). I looked at my calves after a run the other day, and they were huge. I'm excited about the tougher runs, but I would suggest that you work into these carefully. In the end, your legs and body will thank you for it, but only buy this shoe if you're running on trails full-time (they're far superior to the 790s on this type of terrain), or you're prepared to go to an almost barefoot style of running (which is a bit of a painful transition). For my transition, I'm using my old 790s to help. I run on the MT100s outdoors on pavement about once a week, the rest on the 790s for now.

Great shoe. Super lightweight, but holds up when running. Because of the material, air and water move through the shoe easily, but that doesn't really bother me. My suggestion: stay away from puddles. Overall, I love them. My one complaint is if you wear low socks, the firm heel might wear on your ankles a bit, but it isn't too bad. And if you've worn New Balance shoes in the past, I would order a half size larger. That's what I did and they fit perfectly.

I have been trying to find a minimalist shoe that is comfortable for a while. My search is over! This shoe is by far the best out there in my opinion. I have used them on the trail and the street. All around great wearing shoe. Being a midfoot strike convert, this shoe has met all my expectations. Comfort, grip, durability, light weight, don't hesitate to buy them. Great price and service from Zappos. What else do you need? Happy trails.

These shoes look great and have a good feel but they don\'t offer much support in the ball of your foot. For running you would need inserts.
