The fit and size were perfect for me. It is very difficult for me to get any shoes that are comfortable as I love to play tennis but have foot problems. I have large bunions, need orthotics, have short feet and a very narrow heels. Most wide shoes are not wide enough for me, or if they are, my heel slips out of the back of the shoe. These sneakers are perfect for me. The EE width is fine for the width I need above the toes, and the six lace holes keep my foot in the shoe. The sneakers easily accommodate my orthotics.
I loved shopping on the website because you can easily call and speak to a person about questions. The person I spoke to was so helpful. It was a wonderful shopping experience.

In the past I had luck with Saucony.

I have been wearing this style shoe for many years. When I wear out the tread on the soles, I simply reorder them .

I love this shoe. It fits my foot like a glove. It's true to width and length. I have low arches so it's [perfect not too high. The heel is deep and allows the shoe to give lots of support. It's a great shoe.

I wear a size 5 - 5.5 and the widest width (ee) shoe which is only made by New Balance. I'm a regular tennis player and could not play without these shoes. Please dont ever stop making them. I buy one or more pairs a year. They're comfortable, not heavy, breathable and nicely cushioned.

I tried a few pairs of what I hoped would be comfortable running/walking shoes with enough padding, wide enough shoe box for bunions and arch support for plantar fascitis and these were the winners! For the first time in a long time my feet don't hurt. I jog or walk about 3 miles a day and have custom insoles, but I don't even need them in these shoes. They are the best so I ordered another pair!

I love my New Balance WC806. They fit perfectly. They are super comfortable. They are like not having any shoes on at all. I love New Balance shoes and have worn them for several years. I've tried other brands but they weren't as good as New Balance.

The size is perfect. The material is great. They are so comfortable. When I wear them it feels like I don't have anything on my foot. I'm very well pleased with the shoes I ordered. New Balance can't be out performed.

I have a wide foot due to a bone break and this width fits perfectly. I do use inserts in all of my shoes for support.

Wonderful support for us "runners" on the tennis court. Only all leather tennis shoes anyone makes anymore and they are so fantastic! The leather holds your foot in position when you run down a ball so you won't turn an ankle! Please, New Balance, don't discontinue these So strong support, all leather, tennis shoes!

I use both products for playing tennis. Both are excellent. The shoes fit well and are nice and padded for comfort.

What a pleasure to shop for narrow tennis shoes (for PickleBall) and enjoy a good, narrow fit.

Like the roll bar feature, arch support and leather. Only disadvantage is that it is a bit heavier than some court shoes. It only comes in the one color, however I have gotten to rather like the color as it goes with everything.

I play tennis year round and always need to replace my shoes. Since being fitted for shoes, the 806 gives best support. All leather, sturdy and help prevent ankle rolling during play. So glad I found them on sale!!

Who knew finding tennis shoes would be so hard? NB is my go to brand and I have been ordering them on line for years since the local shoe store do not carry tennis shoes, even though they have NB shoes. My only complaint is that my size went up a half size. 10 1/2 is often skipped as an option. I know feet get bigger with age, but I have several pairs of old tennis shoes, size 10, that fit fine. I just happened to be in a NB store in Pasadena or some place close, and tried on shoes. Shocked that I needed a 1/2 size larger. Why did a 10 always work and still does, but with newer shoes I need a 10 1/2. Had to give away a perfectly good pair that I bought in LL Bean in Ellsworth. Should have tried them on.

I am 8 or 8.5 in all other shoes, but in New Balance I am 9. These fit perfectly. I have always wanted shoes just for tennis. These felt great when I played, so worth it!

I usually wear a 9 W in NB, and went to a wider size based on the reviews. The fit is perfect. Very supportive and lighter than I expected. Great shoe for pickleball.

This is a great shoe. I wear a narrow shoe, and it fits very well. I foot is secure in the footbed. The laces stay tied, which is great for a tennis shoe. I like the look of the shoe, also. It has purple on it, which is my favorite color, and one of the reasons I chose the shoe, as well as the fact is was New Balance. I like the shoe so much, I was going to purchase another pair. However, just a few day after I purchased the first pair, Zappos raised the price $35! Needless to say, I did not order a second pair for that elevated price. I have notice Zappos is not always consistent with their prices, which is frustrating.
