Customer Reviews New Balance 806 Tennis Shoes

Very narrow in toe box.

Really narrow in the toe box and middle of foot. Not like other New Balance I've worn.

The shoes were not the same shape. The left one looked stretched in the ankle. It also had a place that pushed on my toe

I have been wearing these tennis shoes for many years. This is my go to walking and exercise shoe that really performs well. I would highly recommend this shoe for anyone who wants a classic tennis shoe with a great fit and looks fabulous with lots of clothing options.

They are just a little too big.

Very Very Stiff shoe. No give. Does not move with you

Yikes! These were not what I expected. I'm a New Balance fan for running shoes, and just learned to play pickleball and wanted a court shoe. My first impression after taking these out of the box was that they don't look like leather. They product description says leather upper, but the leather must be treated with something because they look like plastic. They are also very stiff making me think that something has been added to the leather. I usually wear a 10.5 or 11 in athletic shoes, so I ordered an 11 based on a lot of reviews saying they run a little small. The length was good, but the toe box was a little snug. What really killed it for me was the lack of arch support. I have high arches and admit that I will gravitate towards a high arch shoe, but I can wear something with a little less support if I don't have them on for hours. These weren't going to do it for me... There's no shape to the insole at all... No arch support! When I take a step, I can see my foot caving inward due to lack of arch support. This is a recipe for foot pain and ankle injuries. Back these go and I'm trying again! :(

This is a nice shoe but I have back and leg issues which causes me to be very selective in the shoes I choose. I reordered and ended up purchasing the New Balance 928 which seems to be the right shoe for me.

Loved how this style looked in person. Usually I take a size 12 in New Balance so that’s what I ordered but this show was very big on me so I had to send it back.

it has an add shape with fake leather top and its zero support --even though it was a size 11 , my big toe was touching the tip of the shoe

This is a great shoe, but is definitely not a double wide.

The fit, size, and width were not at all satisfactory. The "support" was non existent and it had bumps in weird places. The shoes were obviously returned from another customer due to the stuffing was only for the toes of one shoe.

I measure between ''b' and 'd' (wide) width. Wide fit perfectly. I've worn this model previously in a 'b' width so other customer reviews indicating shoe 'last' has changed is accurate. Length is true to what I'm currently wearing in NB.

Hard to find narrow size shoes. Happy that NB carries Narrow sizing.

I have a very narrow foot. A big thanks to Zappos for providing a selection of hard-to-find sizes that I can't find locally. Lots of compliments on my new kicks. Looking forward to the water resistance that only a leather upper can provide.

This shoe is incredibly narrow for an "Extra Wide." New Balance has gone to crap; they no longer produce quality shoes with consistent sizing. At the very least, "wide" shoes should have a rounded toe. The toe on this shoe is narrow and pointy and the forefoot is narrow. Hey New Balance: just marking a shoe 2E doesn't make it any wider!
