Customer Reviews New Balance 806 Tennis Shoes

Like walking on air! Like running in a dream! I love my new shoes.

Shoe fits great...love the support fits my orthotics no pain in feet or legs with this shoe...even though it is a tennis shoe... I don't play tennis but I wear them for the support and stability that I need in a shoe....I like this shoe more than my usual 928v3 shoes...if you decide to purchase this shoe you will not be sorry!!

These shoes are very stable and supportive when you are stopping and starting and changing directions. They come in several widths. The 806 seems to run slightly smaller than the 805.

Been purchasing 806 for about 8 years know, play Pickleball 4-5 times a week, the best courts shoes

Great stability and traction on both clay and hard court surfaces. Only complaint would be the toe box. A tight fit until stretched. Lacing keeps in place and holds its strength.

The shoe has great playing characteristics...great shock absorption, great lateral stability, great toe box and great lateral stability. It is my favorite tennis shoe of all time. It is the very best in every category !!!!!

Excellent stability and fit for quick action movement on court. A little snug in toe box initially, some stretching needed .

I wear these when walking three miles a day with my dog. My size is 15 4E.

I have worn this 806 model (and previous versions) for over 10 years. It is a good performance court shoe, the narrow width fits perfectly so my feet feel solid. It is a well constructed shoe, but the soles tend to wear out pretty rapidly for me at the heel and ball of the foot. The rubber is probably softer for grip so it works well, and I guess I am hard on the shoe. The uppers have never worn out or split. I generally keep two pair and rotate between them. Having a slightly more durable sole and perhaps another color choice would be my only requests for improvements, but that said I have no complaints.

I have flat feet and needed a supported shoe to play tennis in. This shoe has been fantastic to play in at least 3 times a week. Really supportive, but easy to move around and play in.

This is my favorite shoe for tennis. I have a wide foot and it superbly accommodates that. The sole is very durable and is the last thing to wear out on the shoe.

Wonderful for tennis. Helps to stop turning your ankle

This is my third pair of 800 Series New Balance tennis shoes and they are just what I have come to expect. The first pair I wore on the court playing singles with my then wife to be. We were married a year and a half later, so that worked out well. The shoes lasted another 8 or 9 years before I wore the treads off so much that I just had to use them for knocking around and active work, and they performed greatly under those conditions as well. So this the third pair, being 806's, a great feature that I didn't expect revealed itself. Today, during my first time wearing the new pair during play, they improved my scrambling so well that I was able to run circles around my opponent, being my wonderful wife. But I figured out I was on her side of the court. No problem. We work well in singles play and as a team. These 806's will probably provide extended play for me as I'm older now and play less and more conservatively. And she still beats me whenever she wants to but that's OK as she stays a few years younger than I.

I am a tennis coach with hard to fit feet. The 806 XW fits me well and I have not lost ankle support wearing them. I prefer a leather shoe, and the leather in the 806 is worth the price. I wear the 806 on both HarTru and Hard court surfaces. I am very pleased with the comfort, durability, and the performance of the 806.

I like these shoes. I only walk in them for longdistance walking.

Use these for both clay and hard surfaces. Very satisfied with them so far!

Great strong tennis shoe, gives great traction on hardtru courts.
