Stuart – I wear the exact same size as the 790s and they work perfectly for me. There is only one width. Hope that helps.

Trying to find the NB 100 in a 12B. I wear an 11 but found that the larger shoe with a narrow foot provide better for the hard pavement running and foot swelling. Can I stay with my a normal width/size in the 790s or 100s. Meaning run narroow or wider? Had 1062 and 992

[...] thanks to the very rocky trail I found in the Fells, but very enjoyable. I might have to try the MT100’s…the KSOs didn’t quite cut the mustard out there. I’d definitely like to [...]

The 790’s run a 1/2 size small. Be careful of some of the color combos. They are made of different material and feel and weigh totally different. I have a pair of black ones and a pair of Mercury/yellow. They are perfect. The coffee/gold color was totally wrong for me. I returned them to Zappos.com without a problem though.

I just now heard of the 100’s and had been looking locally for someone that stocked the 790’s so I could try some on in hopes of buying. How do the 790’s run size wise in comparison to a 1223? (apparently I like old models). For the price at the link you posted I will buy 2 pair and wait to hear the reviews on the 100’s.

I’ve tried these on since a NB demo model was in my size – they feel absolutely wonderful and will be a good replacement for the 790.

That being said, I’m still getting more 790’s while they are cheap!!!

Hi Keith – the images were shot using a store employees phone camera and sent me via MMS.

I agree with you, image quality is king, but when you only have what you have, you use it.

Thanks for the comments.

I heard a rumor that anyone commenting on your blog gets a discount on the 100s when they come out … is that true? Oh, wait. I started that rumor!

Hi Everyone. I’m the Product Manager for Trail Running at NB and worked on this shoe. Just to clarify a few things, the 100 is built on the same last as the 790 and also features the same midsole heights in both the heel and the forefoot. The plate in the forefoot has been beefed up for more protection and the tread has been reconfigured for greater durability and traction. Yes, we did work with Kyle and Anton on this shoe and that is what lead to many of it’s unique elements. As they tend to run without socks, the upper was built to be as minimal as possible and that is what lead to the foam based foxing. It’s lighter weight and causes less irritation.
