Customer Reviews New Balance WA790/WR790

Perfect gym rat shoe - I work out at the gym every day for about two hours. I use the treadmill, stair climber and elliptical in my two hour sessions. I put these shoes on the first time and they felt like slippers. So comfortable, no breaking in necessary at all. And, they are so light on your feet. I would definitely buy this shoe again. I need a new pair of shoes every 6 months, so I will buy these again next time.

Perfect sneaker for an active day - New Balance shoes are just one of those brands that I know will fit and fit well. This shoe was no exception. When my local shoe store said this was discontinued and no longer available in my size, I came home and logged on to Zappos. I ordered immediately and have been very happy with this super cute shoe that is perfect with everything from workout clothes, to shorts, to jeans. They made packing for a trip to the beach easier when I could only pack a couple pairs in my suitcase! I normally wear a size 10 but athletic shoes run small -- I knew the 11 would be perfect and it was!

Comfortable and Cool - I love these! They're as comfortable as any pair of sneakers I've ever owned. I've gotten lots of compliments on how cool they are.

GREAT SHOE!!!! I love this shoe. I ordered my regular size (8), but it was a bit short. (Order half size up) Of course Zappos exchanged my shoe to a 1/2 size larger right away...I had my new, perfect fitting shoe within 48 hours!! Got lots of compliments the first day I wore them... very cute (got the corral and brown combo)!! I buy all my shoes from Zappos...they are the greatest!! (I mean that!)

Love them! At first I thought they had little support, but they were too cute to pass up. As I have worn them, I find they DO have enough support and I can walk in them all day! I have the grey and blue, and they’re great with jeans.

Too Small, Too Bad! I LOVE the look of these shoes - they are lightweight and since I bought them in brown/raspberry, I couldn't wait to wear them with all my brown casual clothes & jogging suits for fall. The colors matched perfectly & the shoe was exactly as it appeared online. Unfortunately, I wear a size 12 and the shoes felt a size smaller than marked. Still searching for the perfect brown athletic shoe to replace this one that I returned!

Great sneaker - I love the look, feel and comfort of this sneaker. Perfect for shopping. I want a pair in every color.

Love these shoes!! I bought these in 3 colors!! They look great with jeans. They are very comfortable and light weight!

Love this shoe!! I absolutely love this shoe. It is very comfortable and lite. I didn't have to break them in at all. Would highly recommend it to anyone. Also agree with all the people who said to order a half size up.

My favorite running shoes - This is the 3rd pair in a row of the New Balance WR790's that I've purchased. I just can't imagine another shoe fitting me better or making me more comfortable when I run. I average 5 miles a day, 6 days a week, and these are awesome shoes for me.

Great shoe. Very cute and comfortable. The lightest athletic shoe I have ever owned. I ordered my usual size and they fit perfectly. Went on a 7 mile hike just after getting them and my feet couldn't have felt better. The only problem is that there is no ankle support. Other than that, they are great!

Probably My Favorite NB Shoe! These are great shoes! They are very light weight and I get compliments on them almost every time I wear them! These are probably my favorite NB shoes... it's a toss up between these and the WR990's.

These shoes are the reason why I run... I have never been a consistent runner, but these shoes help to make me commit to running on a much more regular basis. They are the most lightweight sneakers that I have ever owned and I fly around the outdoor track. I love the color choices and the price is not too high. Also, they pack very well since they are so compact. I just bought my second pair to have as a back up once my current pair is run into the ground!

LOVE THIS SHOE!!!!! I bought the pink and grey ones and they are great. Comfortable, light, easy to workout in and look great for casual quick dress also. They are the best and when I buy shoes or need them again I will buy them from Zappos!!!!

Light airy sneaker - Love these shoes. So light & fun to wear. Love the color combos/ Neutral with a touch of color. I got the brown with coral-gorgeous. Great for moderate workouts like elliptical, aerobics, bike machine, etc. Not so much a running shoe unless it's once in a while.

Great sneakers! I bought these before I went out to Sedona, Arizona. I wore them hiking and loved them. They are extremely comfortable. And the colors couldn't be more perfect.

Cute & comfortable shoe - I bought these shoes to replace my old New Balance work shoes. I'm an RN, so my shoes must be comfortable & these really are. I like them so much that I may order another pair to have at home to work out in. The shoes are very lightweight and give good support.

Cool, but useless shoes - These shoes are definitely cool, but useless. They are pretty comfortable for everyday use, but I didn't order them for that. I needed a pair of shoes for workout. I almost fell twice wearing them. They are so slippery. No grip on solid surface. I kept them for walking, but they are not good for jumping around.

Great, lightweight, buy a size up - These are great, lightweight shoes. I'm not a runner, use them for everyday. However, I'm a normal size 10, and size 11 is what fit. Go a size up!

Great support! Feels like you are practically running on air.

Great Shoe - These are the lightest shoe ever! The day I got them, I could walk my daily two miles without any new shoe discomfort. I wear a size 12 and find that the best fit in shoes for me so far have been New Balance. This is my fourth pair!

The Best - I can't say enough about these shoes. I took them on a three week trip to Europe and I lived in them...including hiking all day. I love the look and feel and light weightness.

GREAT SHOES - This shoe is great! It is true to size and width. This is the first shoe I have bought on-line and I will do it again.

Great shoe - Now that these sneakers are broken in, I couldn't be happier. I bought the brown/coral pair -- they're very cute, but know that the brown is sort of a brownish-gray. The first few weeks, they gave me a blister on my left ankle, but after several days of wearing band aids on them, it's just fine. One thing that doesn't make me too happy is that, even though I bought a 1/2 size larger than I usually wear, I cannot wear socks with these shoes. I've had them about three weeks now, and they haven't stretched, and even the thinnest sock is uncomfortable. Other than that, I love them.

So comfy and so cute - Great sneakers! I love these! Super comfortable (although not great if you are in need of arch support.)
