Customer Reviews New Balance WA790/WR790

New Balance WR790 - This is a great shoe. It's has good support without looking like a bulky sneaker. (You can't really tell that from the picture.) I originally went to a New Balance store, but was told this style was discontinued.

Great trail shoes! These shoes seem minimalist in support & cushioning, but somehow are extremely comfortable and suit me perfectly. Based on other reviews I read, I ordered up a half size. That might not have been necessary, but I like the roomy feel (and can wear thicker socks). I was also delighted with the fast service from Zappos.

NEW BALANCE WR790 - These are very comfortable shoes. They run a 1/2 size small. These are good walking shoes.

Super light weight - A really comfortable sneaker for running around town or wearing to the gym. I'm not sure it would have enough support for heavy duty walking or exercise though. Could use a touch more cushioning in the insole, but not bad.

Cute sneaker! Looks hip and very comfortable!

I'm used to Nike so these feel a bit wide. But over all, a cute comfortable shoe for walks with my stroller.

Cool Shoe - Definitely provides moisture control & allows ventilation to foot. Comfortable & lightweight.

Great lightweight shoe! I LOVE this shoe! The colors are great; it's super lightweight and so comfortable. I typically run about 5 to 6 miles in them and my feet feel great, though my running style is little to no heel-strike (if you have a hard heel-strike you'll probably want a thicker cushion). Planning on taking them to Australia as my everyday shoes, they pack really well. I did order a half-size up, the 10 felt a little tight in the toe-box. I tried them on in the store before ordering thru Zappos. This is definitely my new standard running shoe.

Great casual shoe! This is a GREAT casual shoe! I have put off buying a "running" shoe for so long because they always look so heavy and clunky, until now! They are so lightweight and comfortable. I needed a comfy, casual shoe to wear with jeans and that would be great for walking around in and this is the shoe! They do run SMALL so order up (I normally wear a 5.5 and the 6.5 I ordered is perfect). Enjoy!

New Balance WR790 is great - I’m a big fan of the Onitsuka Tiger shoes, but decided to try these out instead - something different. They are great - very comfortable. I have a very narrow foot and these are a little wide, but it doesn’t make that big of a difference. I’m on my feet for 12 hrs a day at work and these do the job.

THE most comfy shoes ever - I bought these off of the sale table at our local running store. I just thought they felt nice and light and cool. I live in South Florida, work at an elementary school, and my feet kill me at the end of the day. Was looking for something to give my Crocs a break now and then. I was greatly surprised at how very good these felt and they have much more support than I would have guessed. I love them and will probably buy another pair to have on hand!

Good shoe - Fits well, lightweight, low-profile, nice colors, above all comfortable.

Excellent cross training shoe - Great choice for a gym shoe. Best features: light weight, general good support, fabric allows for exceptional breath ability, shoe laces have crimps at about every two inches which prevent unraveling. Nice minimal design.

This shoe is amazing!!! I ordered this shoe (red and tan/brown) the day before we left to Aspen, Co. I wear a 7 wide (C, E) and was concerned about the medium width however, these shoes fit perfect. I took it out of its box wore it to the airport, trail hiking, and to walk around Aspen. I never even bothered wearing my other shoes! These shoes are extremely comfortable and I received compliments. If you’re looking for a light trail running shoe these have no ankle support. Excellent for walking and light trail hiking. Highly recommend these shoes! Contrary to what I read, I didn't have to order a larger size.

New Balance 790 - This is a great shoe. My dog and I walk every morning and evening and we log close to 25 miles a week. My old tennis shoes were shot. I always thought they were kind of clunky and was looking for some lightweight comfort this time. These completely fit the bill! I had to go a full size larger than I normally wear - these shoes seem to run small. But even so, I think they make my feet look smaller - no easy feat when you wear a size 11! I'd recommend these shoes to anyone who does a lot of walking and wants some lightweight, comfy shoes. I received the shoes today, we walked almost 3 miles this evening, and I've got a spring in my step and a smile on my face. Great right out of the box! As always, Zappos was quick and painless. I can't think of another company so easy to deal with.

Cute! These shoes are really cute and really comfortable. The only thing they are not good for is spinning class. For some reason the way the cushion is makes it painful. They are great for running and walking. I also wear them for lifting weights at the gym. They are really light-weight and are cute enough to wear outside of the gym!

ORDER UP! I ordered these because I wanted something cute and comfortable to walk around in and they fit the bill on both counts. You should definitely order a half size up from your usual athletic shoe size (I wear regular shoe size 7, an athletic shoe size 7 1/2 and in this shoe an 8).

I love these shoes. My husband has the black ones for men and loves them so much he has one pair he wears and two in the boxes waiting. They are very cute and soo comfortable. I usually wear 9.5 to 10. I ordered both the 10 and 10.5 just incase and was glad I did I needed the 10.5. My friend saw them and loved them, so she took the 10. Zappos makes it so easy to find the perfect shoe.

OBSESSED WITH THE RASPBERRY SHOES - These shoes are amazing. After sending them back for a HALF SIZE UP (I didn’t read the reviews)... I am in love!! They are SO comfortable, the colors are amazing!! The first night that I wore them out I got 2 compliments in the first ten minutes. ADORABLE!!! I have size 9 ft. and they make my oars look TINY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could buy 40 more pairs so I'll always have them.

Fabulous - I LOVE this shoe. I hate having my feet enclosed in shoes and I'm almost always in sandals. These shoes are light, airy and I love to wear them. Even though I bought them for the gym, I've been wearing them out and about. I'm even getting another pair. I bought the Brown/White but, they are really dark grey/white with teal trim. I love them!!! I did size up and they fit perfectly.

Like wearing nothing - Great shoe for working out or walking about. It is the most comfortable I have worn.

Very worth it. I bought these shoes for a hiking trip and they were great.

Refreshingly comfortable light flexible shoe!!! I really love this shoe. I bought 3 pairs in different colors. I like the lightweight feel and it looks good-doesn't make your foot look big and bulky. Nicely streamlined and feels great on. Gotta try this one!!!!

Trail slippers... I'm a bit baffled by all of the rave reviews. These shoes are super cute, but I bought them for trail runs. The mesh fabric is too thin for any protection from rocks or moisture. I found the arch support to be moderate at best, improved the footbed with Superfeet, but without any lateral support, I think these would be more suited to blazing through the mall than the trail. On their behalf, they are extremely lightweight and would make great packable travel sneakers.

Foot-astic! I have only bought New Balance tennis shoes for years, and have always loved them. However, these have raised the bar. They are so light & airy; you forget you're wearing them. The mesh lets your foot breath, and if they get wet they dry very quickly. Although I think these run a little snugger than my other NB's (I think that's a result of the closer fitting design of the shoe) I didn't have to go up a size. The coral color is very bright & fun, and I'm already contemplating getting another pair...
