Customer Reviews New Balance MX797

Before I bought these shoes, I was a loser with zero friends and had never been with a girl. Now that I own these shoes, I have tons of friends, plenty of ladies and I added 24" to my vertical jump. Thank you New Balance, you've changed my life forever

This shoes are awesome. They are surprisingly super lightweight. When I took the Zappos box from the UPS man, I thought it must have been empty. The shoes are really flexible and very breathable. I love the fit on these shoes, and the style is top-notch. Hands down my new favorite pair of sneakers that I have ever owned. Can't wait to take these bad boys to the gym and really try 'em out. It is also important to know that New Balance sneaks are made by American workers! This is the only brand of sneaker I buy.

Great crossfit shoe, but a little difficult to break in at first. It took me about a week and a half to break in. It runs true to size and is great for lifting and plyos. Not the greatest support for running, but that's what I have my Asics for.

These are awesome sneakers. True to size and very light weight! I actually bought 3 different color variations because of the these factors. You can't go wrong!

I purchased these shoes for P90X2 after giving up on my inovs. These have been great for the past about 4 months of daily x2 punishment; however, I recently began the Insanity workout and noticed that the shoes aren't what they once were. The lateral support has begun to wane as the mesh has stretched from all of the plyo workouts, but this should be expected when replacing leather/thicker synthetics with a light breathable mesh. The MX797 would be the ultimate crosstraining/plyometric/P90X2/Insanity shoe if they were a bit more durable and could withstand serious abuse.

Good looking shoe, but not for someone that is on their feet all day. There is no cushioning in fore foot of shoe. The sole is very thin and has very little grip. Will not be purchasing this type of shoe from new balance again.

Excellent general purpose gym shoe, light weight and comfortable. Fits true to size. However, if you have higher arches, this shoe may not provide quite enough arch support. I would buy again at this price.

I bought these for my brother who has a hard time finding comfortable sneakers. He LOVES these!

I ordered these for my husband. Since the first purchase, I have ordered 3 more pairs. They are his favorite. He wears them to work, where he stands on his feet for 12-14 hours. He has a wide, flat (hobbit-like) foot. Just hope this style doesn't change, so that I can continue to get this one.

Wow! Very good looking shoes in the 2E wide size. I use these for circuit training in my basement. They fit the bill perfectly. My feet don't hurt at all. I originally ordered the Inov8 shoes and they were TOO narrow for my slightly wide feet. Buy these, you won't regret.

Lightweight, great feel for gym work outs, USA made with quality.

As always, New Balance has THE best wide shoes. So comfy. These shoes just fit my feet the way I want shoes to fit. I'll overlook the giant "N" on the shoe for the fit and feel. New Balance customer for life.

Great sneakers for my boys. I bought one pair for my 16 year old. Really wasn't sure he'd wear them because of the color. He hesitated about them until he put them on his feet... SOLD! So much so, that I bought him a 2nd pair this Christmas and then purchased another pair for my oldest son. The first comment from my oldest, was "wow... now I can go running in comfort with my friend!". Great all around shoe, lightweight, comfortable!

Great shoe for training. Love this shoe for my fast-paced workouts. I wouldn't recommend doing much running in this shoe as it has little to no cushioning. As others have noted, this shoe is extremely light. New Balance shoes last, and now they have decent colors, and much improved styling.

These are very light and flexible shoes that I bought to work out in. They felt good out of the box and in the month that I have worn them have gotten even more comfortable. I hope they wear well -- there is no sign at this point that they won't.

Great shoes. Lightweight, simple, and breathable. A little pointier toe area and extra room in front of the big toe compared to other New Balances of the same size that I've owned. Good, stable shoe for gym. Use for circuit training, TRX, and Bosu.

I walked all over Europe for two weeks on all types of terrain. My feet nearly did not hurt at all as previous times that I have been to Europe. These are excellent shoes for the value.

I tried on the Minimus in a store & felt the heel was a bit loose for me, ordered this anyway because they were on sale. This athletic shoe is awesome. They have been put through a lot of wear & tear in the gym, outdoors & around town; they have held up & remain in new condition after 2+ months. Very light & very comfortable, I think they fit about 1/4 size large, but if I went a half size smaller they would have been too tight. 100% worth the investment. The best training shoe I have ever worn & they are comfortable running in if you are looking for something in between a minimalist & conventional running shoe. I may order a second pair.

Awesome sneaker. Great fit and finish. Lightweight and comfortable. Loads of compliments received by strangers. The color combination is terrific. I'm crazy not to purchase a 2nd pair for backup in case the design changes. New Balance hit the sneaker out of the ball park with this crosstraining shoe. Zappos...thanks for just being you...terrific.

Great feeling shoe! I have flat, wide feet and I've worn these for hours with no discomfort. Light and functional, I've used it mostly as a gym shoe or cross-trainer. I have run distance in it, but being a large fellow (230lbs) I didn't want to stress the shoe out too much.

Very nice, US-made shoe. Had 4 previous pairs of Chinese New Balance & Sauconys which did not even last a few weeks, because of tears & rips (with light use). Have had these 1 month & so far, they are wonderful & very comfortable, too.

Great, comfortable shoe. One of the lightest shoes I've ever worn and I've worn plenty of light running shoes from most brands. I bought them for working out, but they look good enough to wear almost anywhere, so I use them if I expect to be walking a lot.

I have other pairs of New Balance in size 11 which fit great, although size 11 in these feels a bit too large even with thicker than usual socks. Surprisingly light for the amount of cushion and sturdiness of construction.

This is a lightweight shoe that is very comfortable. It is great for playing indoor court sports such as wolleyball and racquet ball. I also bought it because it is American made which means its better quality and supports our economy.
