These are great! Very comfortable to play tennis in the first day I got them - and stylish, too! Very supportive.

I was able to find the NB shoe that fits me perfect and I knew I could return the shoes if they didn't fit perfect at no cost. Thanks Zappos.

The price of the shoes was reasonable and were shipped to me in just a couple of days. The website was easy to use.

I am very pleased with my new tennis shoes. I had never purchased the New Balance brand before, let alone making a sneaker purchase online. However, the shoes fit beautifully and there was no break-in period. I hit the courts running! I would definitely buy the same shoe again.

This is my third pair of tennis shoes from the NB 600 series and although they are a bit different than the predecessors, the fit is still true, and I was able to play tennis in them the day after they arrived. I am very happy with this purchase.

I love these shoes. They offer enough space in the toe box for when I lunge after balls, and there is amble cushioning in the heels, and enough support in the instep. I play tennis outdoors, and these shoes are lightweight, but still provide traction.

This is the sneaker I've been wearing for years. It was great to just click and have Zappos send them so quickly. Perfect! As always, I order tennis or running shoes 1/2 size larger. Plus, they accommodate my orthodic.

Though not as sleek as a pair of Adidas or Prince court shoes, they are extremely durable on and off the court and easily stand up to grueling high school practices and play on ninety-degree courts. My I\'m a mover on the court, and my NewBs provide excellent traction and support. They\'ve been through one tough season and are ready for the next, plus or minus a bit of traction.

Started taking tennis lessons and the instructor really encouraged tennis specific shoes for lateral support. I am pretty finicky about my athletic shoes, which are generally running or trail running shoes. I have to say that I am very impressed with these New Balance shoes for tennis. My narrow heels do not slip at all, which is generally and issue for me. They seem very well made, especially the outsole. I\'ve been disappointed in my old stand-by Adidas and Asics shoes recently, after wearing these for tennis, I will definitely be looking at New Balance for my next running shoes as well!

I bought these shoes for squash. They work great. No more worry about twisting an ankle as they give great lateral support. They are true to size and being New Balance, always fit me great. I am very pleased with these shoes for court shoes.

I am a nursing student and bought these shoes because I am always on my feet and always moving. They are comfortable and provide great lateral support. I am using an insole for extra cushion and arch support. I bought these in the same size I get my running shoes, which is 1 size larger than regular shoes. It was perfect...still allowing room for insoles. Hooray for Zappos service, also.

These are among the most comfortable shoes I own, tennis or other! I can't believe how great they felt playing tennis! I plan to buy another pair just to wear around! The style is also lovely and my feet are very happy!

I have always been a fan of New Balance and this shoe is very nice for the price. Very comfy and I have always appreciated the wide widths available from New Balance

These are good, light-weight tennis shoes for a wider foot. I received them the next day. Zappos has great service!

These are my go-to shoes. I am on my feet a lot all day, sometimes in 90 degree plus heat, or muck, or slick hospital floors as I travel to patients' homes in the hospice program. With arch supports and 2 pairs of socks the size 12 M fits my 11.5 narrow feet. This is my 3rd pair.

Great shoe for wide feet. Rugged terry-cloth-like material for insole keeps feet from sliding around, something a lot of sport shoe designers don't take into consideration. Good grip on gym floors due to small pattern on outsole. A well made shoe for a reasonable price! New Balance are my favorite brand yet!

I\'m on my third pair of these New Balance tennis sneakers. They are very comfortable and secure and give lots of support. New Balance sneakers are great for wide feet (8.5D) with a high instep like mine. They are true to size.

This shoe is comfortable and gives good support. My custom orthotics fit in it fine. I like the generous toe box, while the back of the shoe fits snugly around the heel. Zappos can't be beat. Your very quick delivery and easy return policy make you my only shoe source. I hate returning things, but it's bound to be part of the picture when buying items that may vary in fit. Not only is Zappos good about returns, but there is no on-line retailer of any product that I have encountered who makes it so easy to do the mechanics: a couple of key strokes, print the label and it's good to go. I gave this shoe 5 stars overall and for comfort, and also for style, because it looks like what you expect an athletic shoe to look like. It looks fine for what it is!

Very comfortable; true to size. The first time I played tennis in them, they came right out of the box. No blisters afterward; didn't need to be broken in, good support.

The New Balance 654s are the best for fit (I get wide) and support in tennis shoes. I\'ve worn alot of tennis shoes and these by far provide the most comfort and stability. They hold up well. Highly recommended for the 2 to 3 times a week player.

This is my third New Balance tennis shoe and I am definitely a fan. Very comfortable, breathes well, stable, prevents me from rolling my ankle, which I am prone to doing. Does tend to wear out at the big toe, where I drag it on court when I hit forehands but other than that, it is a great shoe!

Great product -
I love New Balance for tennis. They don't need breaking in and the fit is great for a wider foot. I always get 1/2 size bigger than my normal size. A great shoe!

Great shoe -- the 4th pair I've purchased!
Great shoe. Provides comfort and stability. Good support all around. Typically I buy a full size bigger to allow for orthotics and quick movement on the court.

I have tried other sneaker brands, but always come back to New Balance. For me, it's the perfect fit. I say stick with what fits.

Great comfort & support -
For a size 12 after foot surgery, this fit true in 12M with good stability. Very little arch support, so I added inserts. Good room in the toe and lacing holds evenly. Nice clean style, functional looking for tennis and the light blue is soft, not bright. Should be a good shoe!
