Customer Reviews New Balance WA790/WR790

I recently had surgery of my right foot and these are the most comfortable shoes for me at this time . I am a nurse and I am on my feet 10-11 hours .

I love these shoes because they are light weight and comfortable. I also think they don\'t look like battleships on your feet. They are true to size.

This is my 2nd pair of 709s and I love them. They're lightweight, comfy and the colors are fab. My sis also runs and she agrees for the same reasons! I'd definitely recommend this product.

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.

First - great, fast Zappos service! Shoes fit perfectly, are very comfortable and very light weight. They have the low heels that I wanted and that were recommended in Chi Walking - I couldn't find any others with this low heel design. Thank you.

I bought these shoes to work out in, and I had to buy another pair for daily use. They are so comfortable and light weight! They are wide enough in the toe-box, but narrow enough in the heel for my difficult feet. Great shoes.

Love these shoes! They are super lightweight and have an interesting honeycomb mesh. Extremely comfortable and fit perfectly (I do have a wide foot). Felt true to size.

I just plain love them and Zappos for their great service!!! After reading the reviews, I ordered them 1/2 size larger than I wear. Thanks for that tip, they fit great.

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!!!

I loved the look of these shoes. They are very feminine and not tacky like most running/walking shoes. However, I’m disappointed they feel 1/2 size too small. For being too small, they were actually quite comfortable. The best part is they have a removable insole.

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.

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.

Light and comfortable. I’d worn heavier styles of New Balance shoes in the past, but I wanted something smaller and lighter. I’m very happy with these. The uppers are made of a mesh-type material, so they breathe. They don’t keep my feet warm like leather shoes in cold weather, but they’ll be great in the summer heat. They are also quite cute. I got them in raspberry and have received several compliments on them.

I have a pair of the WR 790's. they are awesome shoes. I worked two jobs a while back both keeping me on my feet 13 hours a day 7 days a week. They're very comfy, easy to break in, yet my right foot is slightly larger than my left, making the size 8 I got a bit tight on the right. I have a goal of doing personal training someday, and I love working out. I prefer new balance to any other brand. Just remember the WR790 is the running shoe. I use Zappos all the time and love their quick delivery and no-issue returning policy.
