Too small. I have worn New Balance for a very long time. The product isn’t the same. Comfort and length not like others which were similar.

Fits to size. Nice that it comes in narrow width. Supportive fit also.

These shoes are a replacement for a pair that I bought in Sept. 2021. The heel had worn and I was having problems with my hip and back. The new shoes did the trick. My back is feeling much better and my hip pain is almost gone. I guess this goes along with the saying that if everything is not aligned, other parts will be affected. I just turned 80n and these give me stability that I need when walking and exercising. I changed the size from a 9 to 9.5 as my toe was right at the end. These are much more comfortable with the additional length.

Ordering process was quick and easy. The shoe I wanted was in stock. My order shipped quickly, and it arrived when promised. Shoe fits true to form and size. Extremely pleased with this purchase.

I bought these to play pickleball. They are very supportive and are great for pickleball, but took a few wears to break in. I went up a 1/2 size and they fit perfectly. They are very comfortable but do need a break in time. I would definitely buy them again!

I should have paid attention to the reviews. The heel was wide but the toe box was narrow and I ordered 2e.

Too tight!!! I purchased two different styles. One pair I worn & I'm stuck with them cause they hurt my feet for continuous court playing. This pair is going back

While I ordered them in my usual size and wide width, this pair are not wide enough in the toe box. My two smallest toes go numb and my foot aches from it being tight. I usually wear brooks brand in wide and love them.

Finally found as close as I could to this style of tennis shoe. It is very supportive, I have worn this style for many years. I have tried others, but the softer mesh type tennis shoe is not supportive. This shoe is stiff, the old school thinking of you have to break them in. Personally, I love the shoe.

Had to return them. Too small toe box narrow. Would need a half size larger. Decided to by another brand Brooks.

I thought they would be heavier than usual because there is no mesh but it gives great support and felt very comfortable on the tennis court.

We owned a small store for 31 yr with NB our biggest seller recommended by podiatrists for fit and support. I needed a court shoe for pickleball and very disappointed a 2XW is now a W with. Had to send them back unfortunately.

This is the only women court shoe that comes in EE width that I can find. I just purchased my 5th pair of these shoes and they’re comfortable and meet my needs. They hold up for a good while.

I like the shoe, but the toe box was a little too narrow, so I am returning them.

I ordered 1/2 size larger than I usually wear a Wide and Double wide. With both, the toe box tapers too quickly resulting in a shoe with a narrow toe box and wide heel. The opposite of what my feet require.

New Balance is my go to shoe, but they aren't fitting like they used to.

The key issue is sizing, these were the correct size (9.5 narrow) but were too short! I have an older pair of NB shoes at home that fit perfectly…so I would guess poor quality control in manufacturing

I have used this shoe for years playing tennis. I feel that the circle on the bottom of the shoe let's me spin my feet on the court as I changed directions, without ever having a twisted ankle,

I have always worn New Balance to play tennis, a great fit since I have a very narrow heel. In the last 4 years I have had to go up a 1/2 size longer, I think if they are made in China that is the problem with the change in size
