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.

Needed a shoe with good stability for pickle ball. My friend recommended these based on his multiple experiences with them and I am very happy with their fit and comfort. My game has never been better!

The shoe was too narrow and tight in the toe area so I returned the shoes.

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!

Show felt supportive and moved well, a bit heavy, but not uncomfortable so. Returned to try a half size larger, & will wait to see how they do.
I'd also recommend:
1006 model in same brand

I play pickleball 3 hrs a day, 6 or 7 days a week, outside on a hard surface. These shoes are, by far, the most comfortable shoes that I have worn for pickleball. I would give them a 5 star rating but I only get about 4-5 months wear out of a pair.

Great shoe, lots of support. Only issue I have is no other colors than white. Been buying them since starting pickleball.

My son really liked the shoes however the stitching is nor very durable. After 2 weeks of wear and use my son noticed the stitching started to fray apart at the top.

I really like the tennis shoes but New Balance needs some variety. In tennis shoes, I had one choice of style and only white. Good shoe, but I wish you had some selections to choose from.

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.

Very impressed with how easy it was to order these sneakers. Site was easy to use, everything was very intuitive and prices were better than expected. Given supply chain issues, I was prepared to wait a while for delivery but the shoes arrived in just a few days. They look great, fit as expected. Would order again.

Been wearing NB tennis shoes for a long time...very good shoes. However, these seemed a little large/wider on me than expected.

Great shoes for pickleball. So hard to find shoes that fit me. A 15 Narrow is actually narrow enough. A rare surprise

I have been wearing the 806 for 20+ years. I buy them, put them on and play with no break in period. I would love if New Balance would make it in blue. Getting tired of white, but will always love this shoe.

These are probably my seventh or eighth pair of shoes. They're a fantastic tennis shoe. Very comfortable and reliable. Love these shoes and especially the fact they come in wide sizes.
