My son has narrow feet and pronates so he needs a shoe to accommodate his inserts and this shoe does the job. He can go about one year before needing another pair.

I'm old school and love a leather upper. Extremely comfortable, and super supportive. Interestingly, this model is actually lighter than the 1006 mesh upper model. I'm on my 3rd pair and will likely buy them again.
The only negative is sole wear...lasting about 8 -10 months. But, I play either tennis or pickleball 3-5 times a week, year-round, so I suppose that is somewhat expected. I've documented the wear, and New Balance has generously provided a discount on my next purchase.
Great shoe, great customer service!

I use this shoe for cross-training. The stability support is excellent. I have a narrow foot, and have been slowly trying all of the narrow width styles. This one would rank a repeat!!

The New Balance 806 is the best tennis shoe; durable, comfortable and provides great support. Is that why it's never on sale?!

I buy these for my husband. These are the only sneakers he wants to wear and has been wearing for the last few years. He always has to have an extra pair when it does finally get worn out, so that says a lot about this KSwiss sneaker! Thank you Zappos for keeping them in stock!!

My son loves playing tennis with the New Balance Court 806 tennis shoes. The ones he received from me for a birthday present last year, he was very pleased with, that is why I decided to get him more for his birthday coming up on October 1, in a few weeks. He likes the way they wear and how much support the give his arches.

If you look at my Order history, it speaks for itself. I'm going on 8-10 pair of these over the last decade. I have a 4E from poly-phalanges and weird, flat feet. These are the most comfortable shoe ever. I get anxiety over New Balance ever discontinuing this shoe. Once in awhile, I try other shoes (other NB's, Saucony, etc) and they just done do it.

I have problems finding comfortable shoes due to a bunion on my left foot. The key for me is to buy a shoe that is wide enough. Most shoes I come across do not have a 2E size. This shoe goes up to 4E. I ordered both and found the 2E to fit great. The shoes are very comfortable and I am extremely happy with them. I kept the 2E and sent the 4E back. I love the return system at Zappos.

The insoles are terrible. Pull them out and insert your own. My husband is hard to fit and has extremely sensitive feet. It took him a couple of days but he finally said he liked them and told me that I could donate his old shoes. That said, he likes them.

I have been using this shoe ( the 806 ) and it's predecessor models for over 30 years.( original model was the 790' I believe). The only shoe that comes in a 15 narrow and gives me the support and durability I like. This "last" works best for my pronation. I can see why it is your most popular shoe. I just wish it would go on sale once in a while. I feel secure on the tennis court with this shoe and in my younger days, I played hours of basketball wearing this shoe.

You just can't go wrong with this shoe. Great lateral support. Nice cushion. I had worn this style for years as an everyday shoe. Then I started working out with them on (HIIT, Tabata), and I didn't miss a beat. They increased in price, so I got another workout shoe and used this as my everyday.

My son has narrow feet and is grateful that New Balance offers is a narrow shoe. He uses orthotics so, he removes the insole and inserts his orthotic for a perfect fit. It would be nice if it was offered in brown or black for travel with pants.
