Just played 2 sets of tennis in these shoes and am very pleased with the cushioning, support and stability. Could have played two more but ran out of court time!

Bought these as court shoes for my high school tennis player. He says they provide great traction and support.

By FAR the longest lasting sole I have ever encountered. I have been a repeat buyer for years. I bought a pair just to play 6-8 hrs a week and wound up also wearing them every day,and I still got a year out of them!

New Balance is my brand of choice due to fit. This shoe fits as other NBs do. I got the 2E, should works for my wide feet.

This is the fourth pair of New Balance MC806 Tennis shoes I have purchased for my son. He loves that they come in narrow and that he can remove the foot bed and use his own orthotics. So far they have held up well so, no complaints on workmanship.

Recently bought this shoe. I have wide feet so the EE (W) fit turned out to be perfect, nice and snug and not loose. I've played pickleball three times w/ this shoe and they are very comfortable, for me. A little stiff but I like that. Nice style, great traction on indoor courts (basketball courts). I'll update in a few months... No... Really... About wear and tear. Thank you for your time.

Hi, I typically wear a 13D but with Orthotics I needed a 14W. The inserts in the shoes are removable and my inserts fit just fine. The shoes are very comfortable and they look good too. I wear these for pickleball and needed a flatter sole for side to side motion. So far they are great but I have not had them long enough to see how they will wear.
I'd also recommend:
I only wear New Balance for my running and court shoes, better fit and quality for what I need

Just a tad snug but they are loosening up as I wear them. I don't want a larger size since they would be a tad loose. I'm wearing thin socks for now and feel that over time I'll be able to wear a thicker sock if desired. A 4E shoe has to work for me since a 5E won't. The 9EEEE New Balance shoes have been a consistent fit for me over the years with the exception of a hiking shoe where I had to go to a 10EEEE.

I bought these for my father and he loves the look of them. I had to return them for a bigger width due to my dad’s swollen foot but other than that he says the shoes are comfortable.

I love the roll bar design for extra balance and even foot placement. I have 7 pairs of NB w/roll bar. This is the most comfortable yet. I do insert a NN3020 for better feel.

My husband loved the design and fit. It is hard to find a shoe that is made with something other than material anymore. These are like the shoes that he previously had made out of leather.

I like the shoes a lot. I have only played tennis with them for two hours at this point. Good traction, support, and comfort. I did put my own insole in the shoes as I need better arch support than what normally comes in any tennis shoes. Nice shoes and I would buy them again!

I had used# 804 before. # 806 with Med width did not fit well. EE fits fine.

Comfortable and stable from day 1. Excellent lateral support playing racquetball and pickleball. Rolling an ankle seems impossible, even after several months of hard play.

Got these for my husband for tennis. He thinks they are great. He got a half size larger than normal because he wanted narrow and the narrow in his normal size was too small.

I normally wear a size 12 in a tennis sneaker, but required a size 12.5 in these. Otherwise, excellent shoe.

I purchased the size shoe I normally wear but found that I needed one larger size. I also felt the width was a little tight so while increasing to the next full size, I also increased the width. Zappos provided exceptional service and delivered the new shoes in 2 days of calling them. I wear the new shoes on the court and like the comfort and support.
