Customer Reviews New Balance 806 Tennis Shoes

Narrower toe box than expected. Fit length wise, but too tight even in 4E had to go up to next half size longer, which isn't the best in a court shoe!

Comfortable, heavy, too high in heel.

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

way way way small. worn the same size forever and these are way way way small

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'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.....

Used for playing Pickleball. Very good support.

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 can only wear New Balance / Dunham shoes due to my wide foot (4E) The problem that I have is that New Balance changes the lasts (the molds that they use to make shoes) the one that fits me best is the MX-001 Standard last. See this link for great information on this http://www.wherefeetloveus.com/about-new-balance-shoes.aspx With that said, the 800 series had been my go to shoe due to its superior support. But, a few years ago I tried the 786 and it was very comfortable for the Tennis I play on hard courts. The 786V2 has gotten narrower and so has the 800 series (now 806). My suggestion is to buy from Zappos and try them on. Zappos has been great with their return policy, and they are extremely quick and efficient on their Chat if you need support. The 806 is a solid shoe, with firm support and though they are a bit heavy, they don't feel clunky on the court. If you are looking for cushioning, go with the 786.

I like these shoes. I have wide feet and they fit like a glove. They are firmer than I'm used too but then again, I normally wear running shoes which have more cushion. Once I broke them in they felt pretty comfortable. I work 12 shifts and now when I get home my feet don't hurt like they once did. Another thing I like about these shoe is that they are not flashy. Not bright colors, not shiny silver. Just nice simple styling. Good job New Balance!

Unfortunately these shoes are no longer true to size and I've had to switch to ASICS. The shoes run about a size too small.

A successor to the wonderful model 804, unfortunately they seemed to have changed the sizing--my 10.5 for the 804 is now a half-size too small in the 806. Too bad, style and comfort are high--but fit has changed.

As always Zappos service is great. I've had several pairs of New Balance court shoes including an earlier version of this one. The shoe runs about 1/2 size small which is a problem after an hour on the court. I'm returning them.

I take a 9 1/2 shoe, but currently have an older size 10 New Balance sneaker (EE width) which fits fine; a little on the large size, but it's very comfortable. This new sneaker is the same marked size, which I was buying to replace the old one, however it is much smaller than my current one. I will need to exchange it for a size 11!!!
