Just got these and they are wonderful. Plenty of room in the toe box and lots of cushion. But the main reason I purchased this particular shoe is because I need stability - these certainly give it. I'm very happy with these and would buy them again. I went up 1/2 size from my normal shoe size, but I do tend to need to go up in any sneaker.
Brands I'd also recommend: Brooks, New Balance, Mizuno

I tried them on & walked around the house with them & they felt great. So I decided to play tennis with them and found that my right foot, along the right side of my small toe, became sore. It was rubbing against the inside of the shoe as I played tennis. My feet are not wide at all so I don't understand why this happened, other than there was a defect during manufacturing. Since I wore them outside, I can't return them to Zappos. Money down the drain.

I wear a 6 wide, hard to find. Many other brands run narrow and don't even offer wide in small sizes. New Balance runs already full, and when I order the Wide it gives me the needed room. The fabric breathes enough for my sweaty feet to stay comfortable for hours on a hot court. I always insert my own orthotics (very high arches) into sneakers so that arch support combined with the good shoe construction gives both feet and ankles the stability I want. Pricey but you get what you pay for, and after I had a serious ankle strain 3 years ago I am not messing around with anything that doesn't offer optimal support and stability. My last pair were the previous NB equivalent style lasting 2 heavily used seasons and loved them.

About New Balance
Since the days of selling arch supports to police officers and waiters, New Balance has been a brand concerned with meeting the needs of the everyday athlete. In pursuing this goal, they developed an "Endorsed By No One" philosophy, which holds that a superior product will sell itself better than any superstar athlete ever could. Part of producing New Balance shoes and athletic clothing is manufacturing it to fit all widths and sizes, because a better fit produces better performance.
To ensure the best fitting, best performing shoes and clothes, New Balance focuses on improving their technology and production methods. A big part of that is maintaining five manufacturing facilities here in the United States where they continue to produce New Balance shoes and apparel that meet the standards they've employed for 100 years.
