Customer Reviews New Balance WA790/WR790

Great comfy shoe - These shoes are attractive, light, and great for walking. There is plenty of toe space, which I especially appreciate, especially with warm weather approaching.

Happy with purchases - The shoes fit true to size and are really comfortable. NB tends to run wide and I have a narrow foot, but these were not too wide. I did NOT purchase these as running shoes or even as workout shoes. I wear them only as casual sneakers and have gotten lots of compliments already.

These are just what I was looking for! I had seen another nurse wear these shoes at work and I just thought they looked great. I needed a shoe that I could wear to work if I wanted to and be comfortable all day or run around town in and look cute and feel comfortable. Not big and bulky like lots of tennis shoes are today. You guys did a great job with shipping. I received them several days before I expected. VERY impressive! The brown/white color almost looks gray and I love that! I may order another pair in a different color!

Could be better - My 2nd pair; very light on your feet (all synthetic material); not too supportive - if you want these for walking long distances, get something with more support also they don't come in wide widths, though I found the medium adequate. Just don't expect to walk too far - they are light, but again, do not give good support to your feet. Also - they don't last - my first pair lasted 1 year, soles are like erasers and tops wore out also; don't wear in the rain - mesh lets all weather in!

Perfect For Athletic Road Warriors - I travel about 3 weeks a month and have been desperate to find a shoe that actually fits into my carry on without taking up half my bag, add weight, and would support me once I got there. This is that shoe and I am thrilled! They weigh next to nothing and then I put them face to face, opposite ends together and tie a velcro strap around each end and cinch it - voila! You hardly know they're in your bag ‘til you need them. I've slogged through trails on Mt. Washington, run a few miles on the back roads of Oklahoma, climbed hills in southern California or "hiked" more than a few miles in malls and that's where I think they really shine - they look fun and not like a running shoe. I don't think they'd hold up to a 5K, but for a "one shoe fits all" style to travel in when you're going light, this shoe is it!

Fashionable & comfortable - I never had people notice my sneakers, but tons of people said, "I love your new sneakers.” They are fun, trendy, and sooo comfortable. They are lightweight and my orthotics fit perfectly. New Balance makes a great sneaker.

Like Them A Lot - This is the first pair of sneakers that I have bought in over two decades, and I have to admit...they are very comfy. I really like them a lot.

Great shoe for fans of low-profile running shoes! Extremely comfortable shoe - the next best thing to running barefoot! This is not the shoe for you if you are looking for lots of cushioning or motion control, but if you are a fan of low profile running shoes or are practicing the Pose running technique, this is an excellent choice. This shoe would also be a fine choice for a general run around town as it is lightweight, good looking, and airy.

Comfy and cool to wear - I love these New Balance tennies. I wear them for "knocking" around and bicycle riding. They look great and the "mesh" is very comfortable. I wear a 7.5 street shoe, so I ordered an 8 and it fits perfectly. No complaints. Love Zappos!

WV happy feet - I love these. I bought them for work but find myself wearing them all the time...getting the other colors. Very light weight, but enough cushion to stand up all day doing massages! Plus, people stop me and ask where I got them...ZAPPOS of course! Super quick ship and BEST cust. service out there. Order your reg. NB size. NB usually runs a 1/2 size smaller.

Love them! So comfortable and light. Good support. Fun colors.

Comfortable, Lightweight - I wear a brace on my right foot, so wearing a shoe that ties helps in making sure the fit is comfortable. The NB WR790 is lightweight.

Runner for 12 years! I am in the Air Force and am required to run. I have tried so many shoes. This is the first shoe I ever liked the first day I tried them. Your foot will have to get used to them. They are a little like running bare foot, but after your foot becomes used to them, they are the best. Trail, road, track, all over great and CUTE, TOO!!! Everyone that see them, loves them. I had to go up a half size because it is short for the big toe, but half size is a beautiful fit!

Bought in grey in January and just bought the black because I liked them so much. Very light, breathable stylish shoe for walking around the city on the weekends (have spent hours in them). I liked the "honeycomb" look of the material in the lighter color. Agree that there is not much arch support, but I don't plan on using them for my running/exercise shoe.

Best for running - I've run for over 8 years and tried every brand of running shoes. This is my second pair of this style. I found that trail running shoes fits my needs better. My feet don't feel constricted on ankle area, very light weight and flexible. I will buy another pair just for when I'm done with the one I just bought.

These are great sneakers! I spotted them on a woman at the Bronx Zoo yesterday, and I own a pair today. They looked great on her so I took note of the brand and came home and did some Zappos research! They arrived by overnight (free of course) and I am wearing them. I love Zappos. The sneakers are so light and so comfortable. Perfect for all day. I have large feet and really avoid bulky chunky looking footwear. These are great. The neutral color combos look the sleekest to me.

Really comfortable - Very comfortable shoes. I love the colors (I have raspberry 08) and they feel like slippers. I think the arch support is fine and I did not order a half size larger. I am usually in 10, a 9.5 in my old New Balances. I ordered the 10 and they are a little roomy in front, but not so much so that the 9.5 would fit right. I think the smaller size would be too small. Zappos' service was great!

The lightest shoe I've ever worn. This is an extremely comfortable and lightweight shoe. It does seem to run small. I normally wear a 9.5 in regular shoes and a 10 in boots and athletic shoes to allow for socks. I had to order a 10.5 in this one. The brown/white color combination is really gray/white. They're not flashy in this combination, but still nice-looking.

Great sneakers! I have this sneaker in two different colorways. They color combos are great and the twisted laces add a little flair. I am no workout queen, so not sure how they hold up to running, etc. But I do go to the gym and work with a trainer, she even commented on how cute they were! Very comfy and lightweight.

SO Comfortable! My feet hurt all the time in all shoes, something about some extra bones on the outer part of my foot that makes everything ache. My usual kicks are New Balance 992's or Vans authentic. But these shoes are magic. I bought them from Zappos, got them a day later delivered to my office (by FedEx for free) I tried them on and haven’t taken them off all day, I love these shoes because I don’t feel my feet. I’m not thinking about how much they hurt and that’s weird to me! I'll definitely be wearing them to the gym tonight, thanks for all the good reviews that made up my mind for me.

I love these shoes! I wore these once and I'm already ordering a second pair in another color. Like other readers, I found that I needed to get half a size larger than I usually wear. (I tried them on in a New Balance store.) I usually have to "break in" shoes and wear them a few times before they are comfortable, but not these.

Great shoe. Have four pairs in different colors and fabrics. Super lightweight, awesome arch, wide toe area.

Excellent pair of running and standing shoes - These shoes are great for everything. Walking, running, standing. My feet and legs finally feel normal. Size was a little small. Go up a half size. And they are very attractive on anyone.

New Balance WR790 - Very cool looking shoe. Not enough support to be a serious walking/workout shoe, but great for around town, shopping, etc. Felt true to size.

Very Comfortable Shoe - These are probably the first pair of shoes I have ever bought that are comfortable the moment I put them on. They are super light weight. I ordered one pair and after wearing them once, I ordered another color.
