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.

After trying many supposedly wide toe boxes, I read some reviews and ordered the 806's. I no longer need gel spacers and other means of keeping my toes from jamming together during play, while the structure and support are rock-solid which is important at my age. The only thing I could say in the negative column would be that they get hot after 90 minutes of outdoor summer play, so bring something to change into if you're going to get lunch after the game.

Shoes fit great with thick socks. Play tennis on har tru /clay courts. Good support for stable footing. Comfortable right out of the box.

I have purchasing the Men's 806 for years. Nothing other shoe is built specifically for tennis like this one is.
It is overbuilt on the outside edges to support when you cut hardest on the court.

I'm a clay court tennis player and once I discovered this shoe I have not deviated. Comfortable, great fit and support. I love the fact that New Balance has a choice of widths. Due to the shortages during the pandemic I was unable to purchase this shoe at Sports Experts or the New Balance store so I was glad to learn that my size was available online at New Balance.

I use these shoes for outdoor pickleball and they work very well. I give them 5 stars for a few reasons. First they came in my size 15 which is so difficult to find. Second, they have great support on the court and good non-marking soles. Lastly, they were easy to order online and were delivered early. The only problem I have is with my feet. These shoes are not a wide width and there is a little discomfort but is getting better as I break them in. I did not reduce my stars because of this as it was my decision to purchase these medium width shoes. So I do recommend these for pickleball or any court activity.

This is a great tennis shoe, size needs to be 1/2 size larger. I wear size 12 but had to order 12.5 for a great fit. And this shoe is not made in China!

Tennis - super stable lateral movement with no shifting around. Night tight feel for all the little stutter steps and short sprints back and forth across the court.

These these tennis shoes are great! They provide me with the lateral stability that I need while playing tennis. I require a very wide shoe normally which makes getting good athletic shoes challenging. Thank you to New Balance!

I have a very narrow foot ... "A" width., size 10. This shoe fits perfectly both width and length. I've had several pair of these over the years.
The company makes subtle changes and they just keep getting better.
