Customer Reviews New Balance MR790

One of the Coolest Shoes Out There - After reading Outside Mag's Gear of the Year review, getting these shoes quickly became an obsession. I went to a couple neighborhood stores where they didn't have the color/size/model/etc. and the salesperson invariably tried to talk me into something else. But I was unrelenting. I went to the Zappos website, found the model, color, and my size in seconds. I ordered them on Saturday afternoon and they were on my feet Monday morning! Free overnight shipping rocks! Thanks Zappos!!

Order ½ size larger! I got these for my husband for his birthday. After checking all his other shoes, I ordered an 11. We were both surprised when he tried them on, they were too short. They are the only 11 ½ shoes in his closet.

Great running shoe - This is one of the most comfortable and lightest running shoes I own.

I have bad feet (years of retail sales). My measure of a shoe is not to notice you have them on. Lightweight and supportive, I often forget I have them on.

Very nice shoe – Fit perfect right out of the box. Light weight, making it great to exercise in.

Comfy Fit - One of the lightest shoes I've ever worn. Good fit, breathable, and VERY light. You can't go wrong...

Great shoe with style - After reading the reviews, my wife just got the female version. I ordered the Dark Grey/Orange which is really a mocha brown/orange. Looks better than pictures. I ordered half size up because of wider feet and it is perfect. Just breaking them in. Not really a real running shoe, but meant for fast walking/mild hikes/just walking around. Shipping took only 24 hours!!!! Zappos has always been top-rate

A little snug, but I love these shoes. Though they felt a half size smaller than marked, these shoes are the lightest and coolest shoes I've ever owned. Not sure how they'd work for an everyday running shoe, but they work great as a general gym shoe for me.

Great, light x-country running shoe - I recently adopted the pose method of running, which gets you running on the balls of your feet and away from "heel-striking", one of the major causes of pain and injury among runners. These shoes are perfect: relatively flat sole, minimal support, very light.

Great Shoes - These shoes look as good in person as they do online. Although I expected them to be more breathable than they actually are. I ran 3 miles on the treadmill the first day I got these and they were very comfortable - I got half size bigger as suggested by other reviews but probably could have also fit comfortably in my regular size - and I have pretty wide feet.

Great shoes for running on a treadmill. Extremely light, comfortable and they breathe well too.

Light, comfortable and cool - A well designed minimalist trail/rec shoe for those not needing a lot of foot support. Sole is not overly substantial to prevent telegraphing of rough trail conditions if that is the terrain of choice.

Comfortable for high arches - This shoe is very forgiving- I have had an issue with the ball of my left foot where it's sometimes difficult to put weight on it. I can walk/run in these even if my foot is acting up. Light too! They are tight fitting in length, but not enough to call them a half size too small. As I said, they are forgiving shoes, so I would stick to your regular size.

Great shoe!! Absolutely unbelievably light. Feels like you don’t have anything on your feet.

Pleased with this shoe - This shoe is for my 15 year old, he's pretty rough on shoes these appear to be light weight and sturdy at the same time.

Super light, super comfy, I use these for work shoes, running the halls for 12 hour shifts and my feet don't get tired or sore. Perfect for what I do.

Super light with good arch support - New Balance shoes always seem true to size, at least for me so far. These look and feel like quality shoes. I’m keeping them.

Size 14 fit!!! So I received my 14 quicker than I expected! They fit amazing; I love this shoe it is comfortable and breathes so well. Also it doesn't even feel like I am wearing anything! But thank you to Zappos for great fast service with the return of my size 13 and the shipping of my size 14! YA! for Zappos!

Glad I Didn't Pass These By - These shoes are great! Very light and durable! I'm very pleased with these things.

Great shoe - I bought it because I liked the way it looked. But the shoe manages to provide a good deal of support and structure at the bottom while feeling very light and not at all constricting in the uppers. The only issue is the vertical piece that extends from the sole to the top of the heel: it comes over the edge of the shoe and can rub your heel if your socks don't cover the area.

Great shoes - Awesome shoe very lightweight and comfortable.

Fit a half size smaller! They felt great. If you buy these and some shoes in your size fit right go a size or half if you can bigger. Any way I love the way they look and they are very light. I just ordered a size 14 so hopefully it will fit better and I will have more room.

Great! I thought I'll try a real size 10, instead of the 10 EE, because the last time the wider was a bit big. Bingo, with this shoe NB has the right 10 done. Fits like a glove. I’m a 250 pounder, however this light runner is perfect, breaths right, and feels just perfect. Zappos of course is tip-top as always.

Love this trail shoe - I use this shoe with a heat forming insert, The Sole, for added rock bruise protection, increases weight to 8.5 oz. As such the shoe is responsive, grippy on rock, not mud, a great shoe for the under-pronator. So many other trail shoes are over protective, clunky, and injure me because of inflexibility.
