Product Description If you're the type who believes lighter is better, then look no further than the New Balance Men's MR790 Trail Running Shoe. They don't offer a whole lot of cushioning but in place of that you get a lightweight performance shoe that's ideal for off-road racing. The AT Tread is low profile for good feel underfoot, yet a Rock Stop shock distribution plate provides protection when your foot lands on top of a sharp root knob or stone. Consider the New Balance MR790 Trail Running Shoe if you spend most of your time running on relatively flat routes through forest duff, grassy fields, or would like to reserve a shoe for shaving time on race day.
Amazon.com Product Description This sneaker is all-terrain! Your adventures should never be limited and the MR790 shoe from New Balance proves just that. It's ultra-lightweight and is fully equipped to keep you protected, comfortable, and not to mention, looking really good!
Great product for a great price.January 6, 2009 I bought this shoe for around $20. Its a steal at that price. I have been using this shoe for over a month now and I still think its a very good deal.
Love them!January 1, 2009 I have these shoes in every color I can find, Men's and Women's. They are lightweigth and very comfortable. I spend my days on concrete floors and won't wear anything else now that I found these! Love them!
Decent shoesDecember 8, 2008 2 comments 1) I ordered 1/2 size higher than my usual size after read other reviews. I feel I should have ordered 1 size higher. 2) If you are buying NB thinking its made in USA. This one is made in China.
Otherwise Shoes are pretty decent for the price I paid 24$ on Amazon. They very light and pretty much what other reviewers say.
Good shoes, but I wouldn't run (far) in themNovember 25, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Shoes are very lightweight, almost look too small. Very good for walking around the city, and the more subdued colors look good with casual wear. However, I'll have to agree with others that they're not really running shoes (much less trail running), and would probably not hold up long. Good for the urban hipster, not so much for the active athlete.
Awesome Crossfit shoeNovember 24, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was looking for a lower profile shoe for Crossfit workouts, something without an enormous, squishy heel that would be a liability while lifting weights yet still be realistic for workouts that involve running. These shoes fit the bill perfectly.
They are super light and very comfortable. It took a day or two to get used to the lower heel height, but now I have a really hard time going back to my NB 991s.
I think these shoes are also a great training aid if you are trying to quit being a heel striker while running. You get immediate feedback when landing on your heels on pavement, and this is a good thing.
Also, as a long time NB wearer, I find these shoes fit exactly like all my other NB shoes. I am going to order a few more pairs, for sure.
