Customer Reviews New Balance WA790/WR790

Style and comfort - This sneaker is lighter than air and is great for race walking and cruising around town. I wouldn't use it to do any running -- not enough arch support.

Review of New Balance WR790 - Love these shoes! Light and easy to pack for traveling.

Very comfy - These shoes are extremely lightweight and comfortable. My only quibble is that I have very narrow feet and they run a bit wide in the upper-foot area. Otherwise a very breathable and stylish shoe. (p.s.: colors are lighter than they appear in photos. the coral/brown is really pink/gray.)

Bringing Balance to my Life - These babies are light and lift the ball of the foot slightly higher, making them a very comfortable shoe. I hadn't been running in years and wanted a solid sneaker that would do the job without too many tricks. The look is simple and the price was right. Love 'em.

A truly amazing sneaker! I ordered these sneakers only 2 days ago. They did arrive at my residence, but I was not here to receive them. I received them today at work. These are extremely comfortable sneakers. They seriously feel like slippers just putting them on! They look really good on my feet, too! I recommend these sneakers to anyone who wants a long lasting sneaker, a sneaker that looks good and feels incredible. They are worth the price!

A good comfort shoe - These are great knock around shoes and good for walking. I would not wear them to run, but good for the gym. Lightweight and breathable.

Finally a no-break in shoe - Great style - lots of compliments!!! Instantly comfortable - no pressure on sensitive joints. Wouldn’t call it a trail running shoe, though, since the support is minimal. I bought 3 pairs so I’m totally endorsing them.

Love 'em! Saw a girl with these shoes on in the pinkish orange color and had to have them. They are really cute on. I don't wear them to run, more for hanging out. The arch support isn't all that hot, but I have orthotics, so it's OK.

Love these shoes - I have narrow feet and heels. These shoes are a great fit. I usually wear a 6 1/2 but I had to buy a 7 in these. They are lightweight, very comfortable and well vented for the hot summer. I bought the brown/coral and I've received several compliments.

Hooray! Sneaks I can slip on and run away in... These shoes arrived days before a planned trip to NY. I popped them on and they need no breaking in. They're lightweight and cute as a button. The colors (orangey pink and beige) were a little brighter and less retro than pictured, but still keepers.

I love this shoe. It is light, vented and VERY comfortable for running as well as walking.

Luv this shoe- Have had many compliments on this shoe…wish it had more arch support.

One with your feet - This is a great running shoe for outdoors. Because of its light weight and snug fit, it feels like you are not wearing shoes at all. It keeps your feet cool and it looks great too. I've always been a big fan of New Balance and this one is definitely one of their best.

Great lightweight running shoe! This is a very comfortable, lightweight shoe that looks stylish but is functional too. I've used these for running multiple times and found that they provide adequate support, even though they're so light. When wearing these with jeans, I got many compliments, with people saying they wanted to go out and buy these right away after seeing them.

Unexpected - I was pleasantly surprised when I tried on these shoes. They are VERY light weight and almost feel like you are barefoot. I can’t wait to run in them on trails this summer.

Comfortable - This shoe is everything I was looking for. Lightweight, comfortable and nice looking. I like the interesting laces. The shape of the laces prevents the shoes from coming untied.

I absolutely love these shoes!! They are by far the coolest looking New Balance I have owned. The color of the shoe is more of a grayish color and the coral color is more of a pinkish color. I originally ordered my regular size. They were too small. So, I had so (sadly) send them back and order one size up ~ which was perfect. From the outside, the shoes look very narrow, but on the inside, they are very roomy. I also ordered my best friend this exact shoe and ordered my son & brother-in-law the men's version. This shoe is awesome!!

These are the shoes you've been looking for! I need to wear an orthotic insert for a fallen arch and these are the first pair of shoes that actually feel good even without! They weigh nothing and feel so cushy and good when you walk!

GREAT!! These are great shoes...I think that they run true to size. They are so light weight and comfortable!! Highly recommend them!!

Comfortable...! This shoe felt like a slipper, low profile so no rubbing around your ankle bone, can be worn without socks because it is still comfortable with no rubbing. I would highly recommend this shoe for a light weight shoe. The brown/white color is actually a light grey; not brown.

Cute New Balance - I'm in love with these shoes! They are as supportive as my less attractive running and trail shoes, but they're really light and much cuter. They fit great, too. I wore them for the first time today and got a ton of complements.

Great Shoe - These are an extremely comfortable pair of tennis shoes. I wouldn't recommend them for jogging or even large amounts of walking, but just for an everyday tennis shoe for shopping/playing/working, they're great. Very lightweight.

Finally New Balance with style! These kicks are awesome! They are a tight fit, but I think a 1/2 size up will be too big, and I know they will eventually stretch. The color on the web says brown, but it's really a warm gray, the picture is more true to its color than what they say it is. The laces are some kind of weird shape; I may get new laces for them. Overall, I love them!

Just what I hoped they'd be! This is my first pair of New Balance; normally they don't fit my foot. But these super lightweight, comfortable and stylish shoes have taken over my shoe collection. I love them! My only concern is that the soles may wear too quickly, they're very soft. But until then, I am loving these shoes!

A Great, Lightweight Shoe - I ordered a pair of these and some Sauconys. This NB shoe, unlike heavier NB styles I've worn, is a dream to wear. At the end of a full day on my feet, I still feel great. The mesh over the toe keeps the foot cool (not a cold weather shoe!), but in temperate climates it's great outdoors and, of course, indoors also.
