Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great lightweight handsome sneaker - I am a shoe weenie: nothing seems to work well. Except this unassuming low-rider from New Balance. Ahh. Finally a sneaker I can wear without any fatigue. And a super great added bonus: unlike every sneaker I've ever owned, this one will not get stinky. I now own two pairs. 2008-08-12 15:05:46 New Balance MR790 Reviewer: from Helena, MT Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support ...I grinned broadly when I slipped my feet into these!! I bought these very light shoes specifically for a hill climb (run up, ride chairlift down), thinking, who needs cushioning for what I'm going to do: power-walking uphill for a half hour. They are a little like canvas bags with a sole on the bottom. Yet, they have an amazing amount of cushioning for being so low to the ground. In fact, my feet felt great during the half mile or so I ran on pavement/sidewalk warming up for the hill climb. Skipping the lift and running back down the mountain, post-race, the shoes felt as good as anything I've ever worn weighing twice as much. They're the nearest thing to being barefoot that I know of. I hope they never stop making this one or something similar. 2008-07-28 07:43:41 New Balance MR790 Reviewer: from Southeast Michigan Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support I run all trails and typically train barefoot, but I ran a marathon on an unfamiliar course this weekend and wanted the protection of a tough sole in case of sharp rocks and such. I ran 26.2 very rugged miles (including a beach, sharp, muddy inclines and some technical roots/rocks) on these, right out of the box, and they worked amazingly well. Despite training shoeless, the weight of the 790 is almost imperceptible. They also dry out very quickly, so if you happen to get them wet, they're usually dry within the next mile – weather permitting. All around, a very excellent, minimal trail shoe.

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Fabulous shoes - I bought a pair of these in April and just love them. Comfortable, durable, good looking, and amazingly light weight. My wife always shops Zappos and raves about them, so I thought I'd plan ahead and buy a new pair of the 790s through Zappos. 2008-07-08 19:56:11 New Balance MR790 Reviewer: from New York City Overall:

Zappos is awesome. Great customer service and super fast delivery. 2008-07-02 07:57:42 New Balance MR790 Reviewer: Jeff from Seattle, WA Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Totally pleased - These are the best shoe purchase I've made in quite a few years. Love the style, very comfortable but low profile, extremely lightweight (exactly 1/2 the weight of my Adidas running shoes), breathable, and so far very durable. Considering buying another pair for when these die, in case the style discontinues! 2008-06-22 07:52:33 New Balance MR790 Reviewer: Damon from Greensboro, NC Overall:
Comfort:
Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Ordered these because I wanted lightweight, comfortable shoes for general use and light athletic activity. Very happy with them. They did seem to run about a half size small, as other reviewers had mentioned, so I ordered up a half size. I am very happy with the weight and comfort. My only cautions for others thinking of buying the shoes are that they are not terribly rugged. I imagine the sole will wear down fairly quickly. And, the arch support is a little less than I would like, but not bad by any means. Overall, a great shoe. 2008-06-17 14:02:45 New Balance MR790 Reviewer: from Portland, Oregon Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Fell Apart - It wasn't long until the rubber on the bottom of this shoe started coming apart from the rest of the shoe. Low quality for the price, the rest of the shoe was comfortable and fit well. 2008-06-12 07:35:47 New Balance MR790 Reviewer: from Miami Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Excellent choice - I bought the shoes as a present.

Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support New Balance MR790 - Looks, style, and comfort are exactly what I expected. I walk on a cement floor for about ten hours a day. I also run. These shoes are perfect for both!! I've noticed that some people on this site recommend going a full size larger...I think a half size would be plenty. 2008-06-09 06:25:38 New Balance MR790 Reviewer: Neil R from North Carolina Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Terrible - I am not happy with these shoes at all. The rubber is peeling off the sides and I will have to glue it or something because it's flapping and I have worn these maybe 10 times. I hope there's something you can do a bout this. I will send pictures if I need to. 2008-06-02 06:51:19 New Balance MR790 Reviewer: from Shreveport, Louisiana Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Shoe Arch: No arch support Good looks, OK comfort - This is a good-looking, lightweight shoe. The weight may be a bonus for some, but for me it does not supply the support needed for 12 hour shifts. Also, it runs about a half-size too small.

Zappos has excellent customer service and expedited my order without my asking... I returned the shoe because they run .5 size smaller, but re-ordered the larger size and can't wait to receive them.

Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Great Shoes - These shoes are great. Very lightweight, feels like you are running with socks on, but just enough cushion to keep the knees from jarring too much. A few reviewers said they felt small rocks through the bottom of the shoes, I really don’t think so, unless you have VERY sensitive feet. The cushion is adequate. Also, these shoes definitely feel a half size smaller. All other shoes I wear 11.5 and these are definitely 12. 2008-04-27 05:43:54 New Balance MR790 Reviewer: Josh from Florida Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Good shoe - Light and comfortable off-road. My trail has some areas of asphalt/concrete. On these areas, the shoe is a little hard on the feet. Overall a good shoe for running.

New modern construction & equipped for alter rain w/o the bulkiness of past attempts. Breathable, locking-bubble type laces & hardened ball of foot exterior makes this shoe my favorite! 2008-04-05 15:32:18 New Balance MR790 Reviewer: from Denver, CO Overall:
Comfort:
Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Great shoes - These shoes are awesome - lightweight, comfortable, supportive, good-looking. These are great running shoes, especially being featherweight, but they're all-purpose. I've used them for running, walking, racquetball, biking, and they're always comfortable. I also never thought it was possible for athletic shoes to be “stylish”, but these are. Low-profile enough to wear with jeans and look great, so you can wear them as casual shoes, too. Good if you have to be on your feet all day or walk a lot. I highly recommend. Get a half-size up though. 2008-03-26 07:08:58 New Balance MR790 Reviewer: from Seattle, WA Overall:

Comfort:
Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Pros and Cons - Pros: They are very light and fit a narrower foot well and I get a lot of compliments on the look. Cons: They are more durable than they look, but the black teeth like edges of the sole have a tendency to peel and fold under only after wearing for a month, yet it doesn't get any worse over time after it reaches the main sole. I would buy them again, just know they are not very rugged.
