I usually buy the New Balance 940 10.5 size, 4E width. This NB shoe of the same size and width was tight and not as wide.

Materials quality is top notch and they looked very durable. However, they just didn't fit right on my 2E width feet. The toe box was wide enough but the ball of my big toe was too tight -- the widest part of the shoe was forward of the ball of my foot. The other concern I had was that the leather material covering the whole top of the shoe does not seem very breathable. Although I did not wear them long enough to find out, it seems feet would get hot while playing.

The internal height of the shoe was too small. Put excess pressure on the top of my foot.

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.

I think the shoe is probably OK for most. I have a particular foot shape that was not accommodated by the shoe (across the ball of the foot) so I was experiencing some pain. I took out the existing insoles and replaced with my orthotics - that helped but did not resolve the issue

Have used New Balance shoes for a long time. Always fit, always comfortable, and wear well. Zappos always come through for me.

It was just a bit too narrow. Since they were fake leather, I knew they would not stretch or "break in". I returned them.

The new left shoe is very uncomfortable. I will play one more time with these tennis shoes. And, if not comfortable, I will send them back. I have used 806's for the past years with no problems. I was very satisfied with past purchases. Our tennis team has won State Championships several times, so I know how the shoes should fit.

Started wearing NB 806 just for tennis but now also wear them for walking and just everyday wear. Like the feel and the look. I heard that NB might be discontinuing this shoe. I hope that is a rumor and that you continue to manufacture this great shoe. Keep up the good work!

The toe box is narrow and the arch is low, I need 4E-width shoes and these are not.

I don't know if the "review" below is true about NB discontinuing the 806 ... even though my pair is only a couple months old, I just ordered another pair in case .... I don't know why a great American company would discontinue its best, Made in USA tennis shoe.

I just received my third or fourth pair over several years. It's not the shoe it was. The size 15 now fits like a size 14. Or, my foot has really swollen. But that wouldn't move the arch support backwards I don't think. Ugh. So hard to find a 15 court shoe. This was my only hope.

Love these shoes, though the key problem, do not get em went enough the bottom rubber souls cannot really get puddle wet. It causes the glue to give up and you end up having to glue to back with after-market shoe glues that work quite poorly. I would avoid these shoes in the future due to this problem in the future.

Disappointing to hear that NB will not be restocking 806 tennis shoes. They alone provide both extra width and a roomy toe box.

Good support but the width seems off I can only wear them for a short while, The length seems fine. I suggest you size up your width, I need a 4E so I am out of luck.
