Very light and comfortable shoes. Although they seem flat and not cushiony enough the feel is quite the opposite. The inside has a very pleasantly shaped arch support. The bounce one gets while walking is great. I am considering buying another pair in a different color.

I ordered this shoe late yesterday, and got it first thing this morning. I LOVE the comfort, the color (Raspberry), and when they say ultra lightweight, they mean it. This is my new favorite athletic shoe.

Best Ever!
I'm surprised no one mentioned that they are made of terry cloth- like- fabric. It's wonderful! Lightweight and comfortable, especially good for problem feet. I always order up a 1/2 size in any athletic shoe if I'm wearing socks with them so the size was what I expected. Great shoe!

Cute, comfortable shoes -
I agree w/ the reviewer who said that they look better in person. They are adorable.
I bought mine to walk/run errands and they are perfect. (I need a little more support in my running shoes.)
I did not think that they were snug but, I have a narrow foot so...
Zappos is wonderful, and the delivery was so quick. Thank you, I love Zappos :)

Cute and comfy -
These shoes are very comfortable; I have mainly used them to walk in and for work out shoes at the gym. They make your feet looks small and they are very cute! I would say they run just a little small. I have wide feet; I had to order a half size up.

Function can be pretty!
Finally!!! A woman's running shoe a great color. Every time I buy shoes I seethe quietly with rage that woman's shoes only come in vile pastels. This shoe can actually be worn with my street clothes to and from the gym without causing me deep humiliation. YAY! And...They are super comfortable!

New Balance WR790 -
I was attracted to this shoe because of the way it looks. It is very cute and does match outfits well. I bought it before I went traveling. I actually bought two pairs. Both pairs were the same size although one pair did not fit me. I found that the shoe did not have any support at all. My big toes did not seem to fit in the shoe even though the rest of the shoe fit. I found myself in a lot of pain after wearing them. I wouldn't recommend this shoe.

Love this shoe!
I saw this shoe in a store, and had to have it. They didn't have my size, but I knew Zappos would! I have gotten so many compliments, and wound up buying a second pair. The only trouble I have had is very minimal; if you don't get the tongue of the shoe flat before tying, it can rub a bit. Otherwise, these are my new favorites for walking, jogging, lifting weights, and just wearing around town as comfy kicks!

A little "bright" for my tastes...
Not too thrilled with the color, but the entire WR790 series is WAY comfortable, and super lightweight.

Everyone's review is correct -
I was convinced to order once I read all the glowing reviews and I was not disappointed. Reviewers were accurate about the actual colors and the need to go up half a size. I use them to run shorter distances (3 miles) and my feet feel supported. Very satisfied.

If you have foot problems, rejoice!!!!!
I have a great deal of foot issues. I need surgeries to correct some misalignment issues, so when I can find a shoe that I don't have to use every foot pad Dr. Scholl makes, I purchase immediately!!! These shoes are wonderful. The style and look of these shoes attracted me first, and then when I tried them on, I thought I had just put on my slippers!!! The colors shown here are not representative of the true colors. Go by sight of the product not the description and enjoy!! Zappos service is wonderful!!!

The lightest shoe ever -
These are great I wear them to the gym and they are so light I forget I have them on. I also have a high arch and they do provide support. A little tight the first time I put them on, but once you break them in they are fine.

Favorite shoe -
These are cute, flattering, and a great shoe for walking! So light, and I can actually feel the breeze through the mesh, although it still feels like a regular athletic shoe! I live in the desert, and a cool shoe feels great! LOVE THEM! I ordered a pair for a gift too, and I ordered one afternoon and had them the next!! Truly my favorite place to shop, love Zappos!

Comfort and quality -
I bought these shoes for hiking. I prefer not to wear socks and have a shoe that breathes. These are perfect. They are light weight and comfortable. They are a great all around athletic shoe and very stylish.

Great lightweight sneaker!
I love this sneaker! It hardly weighs anything, is good looking, and is a great workout sneaker. I have another pair of NB shoes, and while the toe box on those feel a bit larger than these lengthwise, I didn't need to go up a size. Highly recommend!

Light as a feather and very comfy. Colors are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT in real life... this one was gray and light gray... not brown and white. I think I read someone saying something similar about the brown ones being pink/gray. Zappos should maybe restate colors.

I love this shoe!
This is a very comfortable shoe! I work out a lot on circuit machines and I ride my bike a lot. I wear this shoe all of the time. The only downfall is the length of the shoe. I'd suggest ordering it a half size bigger for length. Very stylish and hip design.

New Favorite Sport Shoe -
I like these so well I bought in 2 other colors. I find most 'cross trainers' too heavy and bulky for working out in the gym or even walking. These are extremely light weight, flexible and instantly comfortable for working out, walking or just casual wear. Additionally, are great athletic shoes for travelers. Light weight and takes less space in suitcase.

New Balance's WR790 -
I love this shoe! The coral and brown color combo is awesome! Finally New Balance has some cool color combo. I get compliments on these shoes daily. I work as a nurse and my feet have yet to hurt after three weeks. I actually have given up Danskos and my other New Balance shoes for these. I take an 8.5-9 in NB. I got these in 9 and they are perfect. The 8.5 were way too short. Don't let these fool you either, they appear narrow, but have a wide toe box. Your feet appear slim in these.

These shoes are the most comfortable, lightest running shoes I've ever had. They look good, too, for wearing even when I'm not exercising.

New Balance's WR790 -
This shoe is very light weight and good for summer. Runs a 1/2 size smaller than usual New Balance shoes. Seems to be a very comfortable shoe.

Great shoe!
I love the feel of this shoe. It is extremely light and comfortable, yet has substantial traction on the sole. It will be great for running and just relaxing.
