I just retuned the MC786v2, and am keeping this 806. I have a true 4E foot, and the 806 has lots of width - don't waste your time on the 786. This looks like a quality built New Balance shoe, and true to the generous build width some of us need.

I received the shoes last week and have worn them in the house. Unfortunately, they are too narrow across the ball of the foot and causes discomfort. I have neuropathy problems and these shoes won't work for me. I will be returning them.

I'm getting ready to buy my 4th or 5th pair of these. It's the most comfortable, supportive shoe I've ever owned. I actually have clinical anxiety that Zappos will not carry these shoes.....

I have a narrow foot (B width) and almost all other brands of tennis shoe cater to standard or wide feet. These shoes are supportive, provide excellent cushion, and fit very well. Only comment would be I wish they were a little lighter but if having that were to mean less support, I would not want the change. Well done, NB!

This shoe is the ultimate in comfort and fit for the tennis player who demands excellence in their equipment. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for tennis gear made for players who are more than weekend warriors.

New Balance tennis shoes are the most comfortable I have found. I have narrow feet so it's nice to have a company that offers narrow width but still be so comfortable. You can start walking immediately out of the box for long distances and not have any pain.

I live in Florida and play pickleball 3-4 times a week. Great shoe, this is my 3rd pair, very comfortable. I wear a 14 EE and they fit just right.

I have a narrow foot. The 806 is one of the few tennis shoes that actually comes close to fitting properly. Quality is good. Durability has been OK. The shoe is comfortable out of the box.

So the shoes are a step up from the $80 shoes I usually buy - the sole does not flex as much and break down from lateral pressure. I lowered the style points because the bleach white is not in style and the other colors were limited, shame on them. We are not all 90 years old sitting on the porch, I play with these shoes each week.

This is the first time that I have owned New Balance shoes so I wasn't sure of the exact size so I purchased the same size tennis shoe I had previously and they were 1/2 size too small. Once I replaced them with the correct size they fit great. I have an A width foot and these are the only tennis shoe that comes in a Narrow so they were a welcome surprise since I didn't need to add anything to the shoe to correct the fit.

Comfortable, good balance, works well with my orthotics. Feet feel less fatigued, as is the case with all of the New Balance shoes I have used. I would recommend these to everyone.

Having really wide feet (4E) has made it really difficult to find good tennis shoes, however, these are perfect; fit great, run great, feel great. Love them.

Good shoe for a wide foot. I got the 2E, 9.5. My food measures 9.5 so it seems that there is no reason to compensate, that is if 10 order a 10, etc. Exterior seems durable. Good buy. If the price seems high, remember your feet are important!

My son loves these shoes. He loves the style and his feet are very comfortable, his toes have wiggle room. The last two pair of shoes that I purchased for my son was New Balance because my son has wide chunky feet & New Balance carries wide width in a multitude of styles. Thanks Zappos, hope to see more styles in different brands in a wide width style. Felipe.

I have narrow feet, so these days finding narrow tennis shoes is not easy. New Balance is about the only maker who specifically makes narrow shoes. I am happy Zappos stock them.

I Had trouble finding a 13EE sneaker. Every store I shopped had 13D then skipped to 134E. I bought the 134E's and found they were too wide, and caused corns on small toes. Finally my foot doc told me about Zappos, that they would have 13EE's and they did. I bought them from Zappos and am a happy camper. They fit perfectly. I never bought such an expensive sneaker, but am glad I finally did.

My son has a size 15 shoe. He is 6'3 and needs a lot of lateral support in tennis. This shoe is well built, has a long life and provides the support he needs. I truly believe New Balance is the best option for the big boys with big feet...

Finally a white sneaker that fits my hubs feet! With Nike and some other brands making their Medium width narrower and narrower it is hard to find shoes that fit for him. Since manufacturers can't ever leave a good thing alone we are ordering another pair now so there is no disappointment next year when we go to order this shoe and find out they don't make them this way or at all.

Chose these with a lot of terrific, knowledgeable assistance from Zappos staff and they are perfect! Looking for tennis shoes that were generous enough for my son's large. Size 15 and wide foot while not breaking the bank. He plays tennis in these and finds them very comfortable. Often, because he is flat-footed--his feet tire easily. That has not been the case with these and we are thrilled!
