Customer Reviews New Balance 806 Tennis Shoes

width too narrow

Too small on width

These tennis shoes arrived OBVIOUSLY worn. The toes are slightly dirty and the shoe itself was “wrinkled” as if someone had been wearing this shoe too large all summer while they were on the court. Yuk Zappos. Where’s your quality control?

There are serious quality issues with this shoe. I have been wearing the MC80x shoes since 2010 (started with 803) and they have been great until this iteration. The sole separated from one of my 806 shoes shortly after purchase and Zappos replaced the pair. A month later the replacement shoes had the same issue and Zappos replaced that pair. The third pair has done OK with the soles, but after about a year, with plenty of wear still left, they have been killing my feet (I play tennis 2/week). First a bruise on my right heel then pain across the left arch. I never had foot issues with the 803-805 versions, so I suspect that New Balance has found a different manufacturer that is not providing the necessary quality. With my new Dunlop shoes the foot issues have gone away. I liked my previous New Balance shoes and most of my friends still wear them, but I will be advising them to be cautious and I will not be going back.

too small

I have wide feet and the 4E width works great for me.

If you have true 4E width feet as I do, then these will fit comfortably. It is becoming harder & harder to find extra wide sneakers and these are the only tennis sneakers that work for me.

I returned these shoes to Zappos immediately after realizing they were too small in Dec 10th. I am still waiting for a credit!!

This is definitely not a 4E wide shoe. It is wide but not the 4E as advertised. Very disappointed

this is my preferred shoe. I ordered in my normal size. it way too narrow. I could not even tolerate it. I am very disappointed. I cannot seem to find a clay court shoe to fit..
