I have purchsed this shoe for many years. My current pair was less than a year old. While playing tennis, the sole broke away from the shoe. My leg was injured. Not able to play for 2 weeks. A tennis partner of mine had two of these break away soles while playing. Is there a quality control issue here? These have always been my go to tennis shoes, but now I hesitate buying another pair.

running on NB 1080s (4E) for years; disappointed that the 4Es for 806s & 1006s are too narrow; almost certain the problem is the leather uppers; mesh upper would be better and allow enough give.

I have wide feet and play a lot of tennis so I need quality wide shoes. The 806 are super shoes, fit good, durable shoes.

I play tennis at least 3 times a week and have for 30 years. Since I have a high instep and a wide foot I really need a shoe that accommodates my needs and the New Balance shoes have proven to be the best fit. At 70 years old I still like to play aggressively and having the right shoe makes all the difference. I would recommend these shoes to anyone at any age.

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

I have bought many times of this shoes, NB 806 4E and they fit my feet very well. But this time, it's narrow and small, which hurt my left foot. Feel 2E mislabeled 4E or something like that. Thank you!

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.

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?

I wear a size 11 standard width 990v5 as my everyday walking shoes which fits me perfectly. When it was time to buy a tennis shoe I went for the same size and width 806 but the toe box is too narrow and crushes the fingers. It is very odd that shoe from the same manufacturer have such inconsistency. I returned my order and I think I will play tennis on my 990v5 instead.

I bought these shoes for pickleball. The women's size 12 was sold out so I bought a mens size 10. Typically Mens shoes are a bit wider but not these. My toes were burning by the time I finished playing and I'm afraid to give them a second chance. Extremely disappointed.

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.

I ordered a 10.5 Wide (3E needed) but your options did not accommodate that requested thinking your sizes have changed. I had to changed the laces to fit my feet but the comfort has had to change since wearing them. I am hoping
