Question

are these good on clay courts

0Votes

Best Answer

The New Balance 696v6 tennis shoes are not ideal on clay. The thread pattern can trap clay, reduce traction and wear down quickly.

Review for Zappos VIP Points (What's this?)

I have other NB for pickleball and they are the perfect cushion, support, and lateral support is terrific- but these seemed short in height - meaning from the ankle to sole and very narrow. I hope they have this in wide.

Review for Zappos VIP Points (What's this?)

I wanted to love these sneakers but both pairs I ordered did not look brand new, the box was damaged but that's not why I didn't keep them. The shoe was shorter from top to bottom (not heel to toe) and narrow - including the wide width. I couldn't get my foot in try them on. I have a normal size 6 1/2 foot - nothing crazy. very disappointed as I ordered the New Balance v696 pickleball sneakers and was hoping these would be the same in black. I returned.

This was the second pair i ordered and once again they looked used. Zappos customer service was great in replacing but the second wasn't much better. Besides the appearance of the sneaker, these were much shorter in height, if that makes sense, from ankle to heel than my previous pair, and much narrower. I couldn't get my foot in comfortably and I ordered a wide!. I returned with no problem.

Fits true to size for most. Consider a 1/2 size up if you have wide feet or are between sizes.
