New Balance Shoes: Women's WR790 Trail Running Shoe

Runners who seek a competitive edge on race day find the New Balance Women's WR790 Running Shoe to be a great choice. At just 6.6 ounces in a women's size 7, it's one of the lightest shoes you will find for off-road running. Some cushioning is sacrificed to get the weight down to a bare minimum but it still includes a Rock Stop™ protection plate for comfort underfoot when the terrain turns rocky and uneven. If your usual training runs involve steep terrain or long stretches of hard, rocky surface then this probably isn't the best shoe for everyday use; But if you are a smaller framed runner or usually run on soft forest floors, then the New Balance WR790 Trail Running Shoe is a good match. Feel and responsiveness are excellent here, as the shoe is built low to the ground with the low profile but aggressive AT Tread® pattern to offer positive traction over terrain irregularities that you sense underfoot.

• Synthetic, mesh upper provides comforting ventilation in the most demanding conditions
• Activa® midsole offers excellent, durable cushioning. Made with Dupont™ Engage®
• Underfoot protection from sharp stones provided by the Rock Stop™ shock distribution plate
• Specially formulated Ndurance® rubber compound outsole with AT Tread® for durability and traction on everything from rock to slushy mud
• 6.6 oz. (188 grams) in women's size 7
