Will use 806 size 11 1/2 2E for pickle ball as my 990s are for jogging and walking.

With other shoes I need to insert a carbon plate to reduce foot pain. I can wear this shoe as is, with no pain and great court feel and comfort.

Lot's of cushion and support. Nice to so easily find a shoe in my size (14-EE). Have worn this model for several years and will continue to do so.

I live in Florida and play PB almost everyday . These shoes offer great support and traction . Glad I switched from my Asics to these ! They do run small so order the next size up . I'll keep buying them as long as they keep making them .

The perfect 'boomer' tennis shoes for us older fellows. Very sturdy leather with strong sides/ankle support.

I was looking for a wide court shoe (for indoor pickleball) that I could fit orthotics into AND be comfortable. These did all that. Customer service was good and no nonsense.

Were a little stiff at first, so needed to break in, but now fit comfortably.

Been using this sneaker for many years for tennis. Nice to have it available without change for such a long time.

Like many of my court friends, we all wear the 806. Most recent purchase must be my 6th or 7th pair. I have a wide foot and have tried all of the NB court shoes. This is the only one with a consistently comfortable toe box. Only complaint is it is only available in white.

Although I don't play tennis, these would be perfect I think if I did. Very stable feeling. Was looking for a stylish shoe that didn't really look like an older person's walking shoe as my wife calls them. I like how the front looks with the tread and color coming up higher... just like a tennis shoe. Will always look for made in the USA products like this.

I walk 5 or 6 miles a day, usually in the 928 v.3 (wide), but when these were out of stock I tried the 806 and found them just as good. I think it's the "roll bar" technology.

The new balance 806 makes a fabulous court shoe for pickleball. I wear one pair playing inside in our local YMCA and another when I play outside on our dedicated pickleball courts at our City parks. I love the shoe as I play pickleball nearly everyday and they provide great support both moving forward and back as well as side to side. These are tough shoes and do not break down during the various foot movements required in an exciting pickleball game. Once I discovered this shoe four years ago I have been sold on them and return to the 806 every time I replace my pickleball shoes.

Thank you New Balance for making wide tennis shoes. I have bunions and need an extra wide shoe which are sooooo hard to find. I have many people at the tennis club where I play wear New Balance for the reasons: bunions or wide feet. Also my foot specialist highly recommends New Balance for correct foot wear. The shoe is a win win product.

I have a size 12 A shoe size. New Balance is the only company that cares enough about fit to make a narrow tennis shoe. Thank you NEW BALANCE! I have been buying the 806 narrow width for many years. Please never ever stop making this great shoe.

First pair of tennis shoes I owned, and so far so good. The shoes are great on the court as play sessions are getting intense. Great friction, and feels secure during sharp stops and turns. It's a bit unfortunate I didn't get a chance to try it before making the purchase because I bought a 2E and it feels like it's a bit wider than my other NB shoes. Seeing it's a tennis shoe, would have preferred a snugger fit. But in gets the job done and overall great quality! NB never seem to disappoint.
