I have wide feet and the 4E width works great for me.

I usually wear 13 wide..the 14 wide fits perfectly with this show. Second pair of these…my favorite tennis shoes ever. ..and I’m sixty five so “ever” means forty five years of tennis. Please don’t stop making this shoe!

I've been wearing New balance for years because they off the wider sizes. This shoe was first used on 3/31/21, and I play tennis 2-3 times a week on soft courts. This tear appeared after about 10 weeks (maybe 30 uses), which is not up to the standards of New Balance. I hope this will not be the issue with future New Balance purchases...

If you have true 4E width feet as I do, then these will fit comfortably. It is becoming harder & harder to find extra wide sneakers and these are the only tennis sneakers that work for me.
I'd also recommend:
Fitville sneakers(not tennis) also are wide enough for me

The shoes are well made and comfortable. My only complaint... and this surprised me because New Balance has had an excellent reputation: the ink information on the inside top of the tongue came off on my white socks! Why cut corners with cheap ink and cheapen your reputation New Balance?

The shoes fit well the first three weeks. Since they are leather I expected them to stretch a little bit. They did. Unfortunately, they continued to stretch so much that after 3 weeks they are almost unwearable. I switched to thick Thorlo socks but they stretched even wider. I have never had a nice pair of leather athletic shoes do this. Very dissapointed.

Sometimes I take a 14 and sometimes 15. This sneaker had to be 15 and it fits perfect. Someone in a review said it felt like no support...not true. Plenty of support. So far it is holding up and looking great.

I returned these shoes to Zappos immediately after realizing they were too small in Dec 10th. I am still waiting for a credit!!

I’ve purchased many NewBalance 8.5 4E shoes and they normally fit well. However, these shoes were may too narrow.... I had to double check that they were really 4E as they felt like “normal” width (so I wondered if Zappos had shipped the right shoes). In addition to the toe box being very narrow, the overall sized seemed about a half size too small. Style wise, these looked good and appeared to be well made (although this is based only on visuals without ever wearing these shoes).

I use these as regular, everyday shoes. I have flat, narrow feet. Support, comfort and durability are all great.

The shoe fits perfectly. I use them to play Pickleball. It has improved my game. They are comfortable. They cushion your feet in all right places. The fit is excellent. Within a few minutes of wear, I was confident I had made the right choice.

It's difficult to find narrow shoes generally. Even more difficult with specific shoe types. For me, this is the only tennis shoe that is available in narrow width. Very happy with these shoes. The only negative might be that they wear our quickly. Then again, I play a lot of tennis. ;-)

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.
