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.

 Good shoes, but I wouldn't run (far) in them November 25, 2008
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 shoe November 24, 2008
1 out of 1 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.
 slippery shoes November 24, 2008
First of all, i do want to love this shoes: Feeling is OK, very lightweight, a lot of ventilation, but the problem comes with the outsole, it's good for tracking fields but when I got some wet surface these are the MOST slipery shoes I've ever tried.
I didn't know I cared about slipping that much, but with these shoes I'm concerned, so, be aware. Also, the outsole is kind of wearing out (3 months already) a little bit, So... remember, not for walking, but for the tracking field.
My new favorite sneaker October 18, 2008
I own 20 pairs of sneakers because I'm addicted to comfortable shoes that look cool -- sneakers that look neither boring nor over-the-top. The second I picked these shoes up, I was blown away by how lightweight they are, they also breathe incredibly well, and they have a far more comfortable sole than I'm used to; combined, those factors make you feel like you're walking on air. Apparently it's in vogue nowadays for athletic sneaker makers to put a weird bump underneath the ball of your foot, so if you like that, then great, and if you don't, like me, then you'll stop noticing it after a while. These have become my go-to sneakers for everyday wear; when I don't wear them, it's usually because I'm not allowed because my boyfriend put *his* pair on first.
NB MR790 Review October 1, 2008
The running shoe fits well and is light weight. I use this shoe when running on trails and it has been a good experience so far. The MR790 has the support and traction needed for rough terrain and is still light enough for a fast performance. If I absolutely had to think of a negative thing about this running shoe, I would say that different colors could have been used (although I do like the brown/orange).... but thats the least of my concerns. Great shoe!
