New Balance WA790/WR790 SKU #7292067(View on Zappos.com Classic)

These are by far the greatest shoe ever!!! I’ve tried several, but I’ve worn these more than any other and they have done me so well. I used to always wear Nike, but they are always so heavy and tight. Just too bulky and not really all that comfortable. When I started going back to the gym, I began getting shin splints very bad. Nothing was helping and my husband suggested trying a different shoe. I did notice my Nikes were tiring out my ankles to where I’d end up kicking my own leg. Yes, that looks brilliant. I searched everywhere and found these and I am forever loyal to this shoe/style. I have high arches and they support me just fine. They are SO light weight. There’s no excess of anything that you don’t NEED. I love how breathable they are, so cool, not all gross and sweaty like most other athletic shoes. I’ve also got big feet and face it, a big bulky gym shoe makes your feet look even more huge so they even added in aesthetically pleasing value for me! I can tend to get shin splints still from time to time, but if I stop and stretch more, it’s not an issue at all. Love, love, love them!!! Hope they never stop making them!!!

Love these shoes! They're perfect for travel- super-lightweight and take up almost no space in a suitcase, so they're great if you're on a business trip but want to go for a jog, a hike, or workout in at the hotel gym. I took them to Europe- they were great on the Alpine trails and on the city sidewalks. And for such a lightweight shoe, they've still got plenty of support- really comfortable.

I love these shoes! I am not a runner but was looking for a light weight walking shoe and this caught my eye. I originally ordered them when only the B width was available. They were a tiny bit snug but once I walked in them I didn't care. They have great arch support and are so light you forget you are wearing them even if you are walking and standing all day. I was so happy when New Balance came out with the D width but was disappointed that the only color available in my size and width combination was black. If other colors were available, I would have ordered one or two more pairs. Anyway, if you like a lightweight but very supportive and comfortable shoe, you cannot go wrong with this one.

Great shoe for orthotics. I have a painful fallen arch and just had to have custom orthotics made. I bought these shoes for the orthotics and the previous reviews are absolutely right - the shoes themselves run about a 1/2 size small, and add another half size if you want to put inserts in. For my flat wide 6 1/2 high instep foot, I bought a 7 1/2 W shoe and it fits perfectly with a full length orthotic in it! Very light weight, probably won't last for years but great for hot sticky Florida and being on my feet at work all day.

Great overall shoe. Good fit, comfy, cute. As a long distance hiker though, shoe wears out too quickly. Better for regular wear around town or at the gym.

Comfortable but doesn't last - I like these shoes very much, very comfortable, lightweight, easy to throw in the washer. But I feel like the support doesn't last more than 2-3 months, I work an average 40 hours a week, mostly standing and it seems every 2-3 months, I'm buying new shoes.

They run a half size smaller, and overall hey feel narrow even for my narrow feet. Material looks and feels very thin. The shoes don't look as nice as on the photo. I will return them.

New Balance WA790/WR790 - Very happy with Zappos. Love option of free shipping BOTH ways. Was looking for a comfortable, attractive shoe that I could wear all day for work as well as exercise - this one seems to be the answer. Ordered 1/2 size larger and it fits like a dream. Very light shoe! Can't wait to give them an all day test run. On the pricey side for me, but worth it to be happy with my purchase.

Looks good - Shoes came very quickly! Exchange for the proper size came even quicker! I believe shoes are sized half size small. Tread on front is pulling away from under side of shoe, in just 3 weeks time. They look good yet I feel it would be a hassle to exchange because of the tread issue. Oh well.

Light as a feather - My foot is wide and these shoes felt comfortable the first time I put them on. Hallelujah! They are super light and cute enough to wear with jeans to a film fest--I have the light brown with pinkish trim ones. Very happy with these!
