Discount New Balance Women's W730 Running Shoe

Customer Ratings:

Let me begin by saying I've been running with the NB WT10 shoe, and as much as I LOVE them, my feet get a bit tender from running on roads. I looked around and tried on several different minimalist shoes trying to find a good minimal feel without the tenderness I've been getting with the trail shoes. I tried on the Minimus Road, the Brooks Pure Connect and a few other I don't remember. The problem I had with all was it just felt like too much padding under my foot. I wanted protection without extra fluff. The second I put these shoes on I was in heaven. I read the few reviews available to see what others had to say and they all were really positive. I did read that most had to go up a size, I actually went down half a size to get the feel I wanted. The toebox is nice and roomy with a tight fitting heel. The shoes are very well ventilated. My only gripe as far as construction goes is the laces are really cheapo and I'll be switching them out. I also like how they aren't flashy shoes, I'm a plain jane kind of girl, I don't need neon shoes to be cool, I just want to get out there, do my thing and not draw tons of attention to myself. I love the design of these shoes.

I took them out for a run after buying them today. Just a 2-mile run because I'm slowly rehabbing an injury and these shoes just did it for me. I felt connected with the pavement and didn't even feel the tender spot on my foot until the end of the run.

I would not recommend these shoes for a heel striker. I run on my forefoot and have no issues with these shoes, but I bet for heel strikers they would be painful. I don't know if they would be good for someone wanting to transition because I made my transition in the trail shoes.

That's about all the important details I can really think of. I would definitely recommend these shoes, and will more than likely buy more pairs before New Balance screws it up with a newer model. I hope this review has helped. Happy running folks!

I love these shoes so much, I have two pairs in different colors, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them both. I am a big NB fan, their shoes always fit my feet better than any other brand. I originally bought a pair just to wear around for daily use/errands and such. I really loved the style and color. When I first tried them on, I felt like the fit about a 1/2 size big, however I think that was just due to the roomy toe of the shoe. I almost always wear a 7.5 no matter what the style/designer. I bought my first pair in a size 7 and they fit great for walking around, running errands etc...

When I ran in them, they felt great! However, I knew right away I needed a 1/2 size larger if I was going to run in them all the time.

I ordered a 7.5 for my running shoes, and I love them. There's so much wiggle room in the toes width-wise that I never have achy toes after a run. I view these as my "step up" from minimal/barefoot shoes because while there's not a lot of cushion, there's still some.

I would suggest ordering true to size if you're using them for errands and daily wear, but if you intend to use these as running shoes, I'd go at least 1/2 size up, maybe a full size if you have long toes :)

**UPDATE** I have been running in these shoes for about 6 months now, and as one reviewer also stated the mesh is starting to come apart, right where the foot bends. However, it is just the top layer of mesh that has "worn" and the shoe is still very much usable, there is no hole all the way though... and looking at it, I don't think there will be. This has happened on both of the shoes I own, my running shoes are a bit worse than the other pair. This would NOT deter me from buying this shoe again.

Before these shoes, I tried a number of different shoes like Brooks Pure Connect, and Reebok Real Flex and a few others, and I feel these NB are light enough for me to carry on a 5-6 mile run easily without any pain in my calves, shins or ankles. I'm still very happy with these, and would for sure buy them again.

Best Deals on New Balance Women's W730 Running Shoe

I run about 20-30 miles a week. Always run in a minimal shoe. These shoes are great. Roomy toe box and very light. The sole is very durable. I have had them for a few weeks and already put 100 miles on them. The sole still looks new. The upper is holding up. The laces are a little cheap and kept untying. Replaced them with a $2.00 pair from my running store. These have become my go to training shoe. You can fully feel the road. They are a very affordable option for people looking for a good minimal training shoe.

Honest reviews on New Balance Women's W730 Running Shoe

I thought I was buying the New Balance quality that the brand is known for, a quality running shoe and one that would be sleek, comfortable and well made. I got them quickly and was really excited.

They are not that comfortable being there is little if any arch support. They are wide really wide, I have a wider foot than average and this was too wide for my foot. I can't imagine how it would fit a woman with a narrow foot.

I thought that the low price was because they were possibly last season's or somethingnot so they are just cheap.

I wore them less than a month and not frequently. Due to an injury I cannot run and I can't walk far. It's a good thing I didn't buy them thinking that they were a serious running shoewhat a disappointment. They are brand new and they already tore. I barely wore them, they aren't too tight and yet in a month or a bit more they already tore on the seam on top of the shoe. If I could get my money back I would.

They have NO support, they are ridiculously too wide, the laces are a creepy nylon that WON'T stay tied, and they tore in just over a month of limited use.

New Balance what happened? You used to be the only shoe that all my serious runner friends buy. When I was a serious runner I could alway depend on a high quality running shoe if it was a New Balance. Not with this shoe, they should have a disclaimerbuyer beware!

I love these shoes because they are so very comfortable. I have bunions, and the mesh on the sides of the shoes makes it possible for me to go on my daily dog walks with no pain. They also look cool. I have two pairs of these shoes.
