Customer Reviews New Balance MC803

Exceeded my expectations - I am a 200lb+ player...wanted a stable,wide,yet light weight tennis shoe. The MC803 is exactly what I wanted...hope they never discontinue this one.

Great Knockaround Shoe - I was looking for a good looking comfortable `all purpose shoe & boy, does this fit the bill. It is nice & light & feels very responsive. It is not "cushy" at all, but, it does feel like you could wear it for days on end and think that you barely had shoes on at all. Good job NB!

Comfortable Everyday & Tennis Sneakers - I like these sneakers because they are very comfortable for walking around in and have good stability for tennis.

Great Shoe - This is a great court shoe. I am using it primarily for playing paddle tennis but it can obviously be used for other racquet sports. It fits well (I need wide shoes), is durable, and looks great. Buy it if you must!

The perfect fit - I have lots of trouble with my feet and have been unable to play tennis, which I love to do, for a couple of years. These shoes with my new orthodics make it possible again for me to play.

When my MIA Suri cork wedge arrived today, I gasped at the extreme height of the shoe!!! But I must say, they are incredibly comfortable! I absolutely love them despite the heel height. The 1 1/2" platform at the front of the shoe seems to balance out the heel height. They feel more like a 2-3" height. Good stability and excellent craftsmanship. They will look amazing in the spring with a pair of capri pants! The beadwork is stunning! Great purchase!

Please, but wish for more comfort. I have a difficult shoe size to fit - 11 1/2 women’s narrow (therefore I have to resort to men's 10 narrow often)- wish for a bit more comfort and color but am happy to have something I can wear.

If you have narrow feet, you know how difficult it is to get fitted properly, especially for athletic or outdoor sports shoes. But good fit is more critical in athletics than it would be in a dress shoe. If you are serious about your sport, you already know what brand of athletic shoe is best for your game. Zappos.com will list almost every type of shoe in your game and in your narrow size. I know that the higher numbered shoes in the New Balance line are better quality. Zappos had a top NB in my long and narrow size. Even if a store sells you a narrow athletic shoe, they may have to special order it, which can take two or three weeks. Tennis season may be over in some areas by then. Zappos delivers the next day. Which brings me to my New Balance 803 tennis shoe that I recently bought from Zappos. I need all the support, cushioning and stability control that I can get when I play tennis with my bad knees. The 803 New Balance shoe gives me that. But the best endorsement I can give for that shoe is that I was UNAWARE of the shoe while playing hard. After playing, all that support and cushioning obviously work because there were no sore spots, no foot fatigue, no sense of relief when taking the shoes off. The shoes just do their job and let me play tennis. In fact, I forgot I was wearing the shoes and kept them on puttering around the house, forgetting to save these shoes for the courts. If you play hard, you need shoes that fit. These shoes fit me and they work as promised.
