Customer Reviews New Balance 806 Tennis Shoes

Not what I expected. The whole shoe is curved, such that your toes are curled upwards. Not comfortable. No arch support.

Pinched across the the width

Nice looking show, but runs really small. Take a look at the 608. Nealy the same and fits well.

These came in a generic brown box and are the most uncomfortable shoes I've bought. They seemed small for the size and had absolutely no cushioning. They are hard as a rock.

Toe box is not the same as previous version. The 10.5 4E toe box narrows. I'm still stuck with my old 801 hoping that New Balance will change back to the original lasts instead of changing factories. There are very few well-constructed (leather) tennis shoes out there

I really do like these shoes, even with their "old man" look, they are super comfortable and stable. I've owned 2 pairs now, and my current pair failed just like the last pair, on the seam at the ball of my right foot. It is strange to have two pairs fail the exact same way. That said, they did last a while (10 months)... I just hate to replace shoes because they come apart. The fact that two failed the same way makes me think it is a design or manufacturing defect...

Too narrow at the toe box and across the ball of your foot.

This pair was slightly tight in the toes, but I feel the next size would have been too big.

I have purchased and been pleased with NB shoes for years. My practice is to find a pair and size I like and then buy a second pair before they stop making that style. My most recent purchase of this style did not work out well. The original size 13 narrow was a great fit and I wore them till the soles were giving out. I switched to the other pair I had in storage....exact same size. They pinched my toes. I gave them a chance to break in but they never did. I am very disappointed that this would happen on my favorite brand of shoe. They have been in storage for over a year so I guess I must eat the loss.

Poor arch support and insole is hard. I ordered 2EE, but shoe is too wide. Not to proper size.

Previously I had 804 and was happy with how comfortable that shoes was. Hoping 806 will ne as good if not better but was complete disappointment. It has no support and no cushion; pretty soon I will be looking for new shoe.

I ordered the wide size and it wasn’t wide at all.

These are the noisiest shoes I have ever worn. The clear rubber that covers the reflective silver on the back on the shoe squeaks with every step. I had hoped they would break in but 2 months on they still squeak. They are headed to Goodwill at the first opportunity.

Pointed shoe box equals very narrow box. This 4E width is much much more narrow than 4E in my other NB shoes. Returning to look for a different brand. I REALLY wish NB would start making the 1006 shoes again. The newer 1007s are clunky and hurt my heel for some reason

Split open after 1 week

Looks great but couldn’t get my foot into shoe because it was too small inside and put pressure on top of my foot.

These shoes were a bit small and narrow. Also the shoes that I received were used. When I say used, I don't mean tried on then put back in the box. These shoes had begun to take on the shape of the wearers feet and there was noticeable wear on the sole. This is disappointing.

Bought for my husband and he thought they would be cushy for bottom of feet and they weren’t at all and felt about a size too small.

My normal size did not fit.
