Had to return these. They were WAY TOO NARROW. Can't imagine that anyone would have a foot that narrow. I'm waiting for the B width to come back in stock, and am hoping that they will work. I've worn these shoes for tennis for years and have been very satisfied. Crossed fingers that the B width hasn't been made too narrow too. I couldn't evaluate the "OverAll", the "Comfort" or the "Style" because I couldn't get the shoe on my foot.

These were my go to shoe until I discovered the Aesics Dedicate, which feels much lighter on my feet. The New Balance outlast the Aesics, but Aesics are much more comfortable for me.

The shoes had an area where there were seams which rubbed my little toe on one foot, making them unacceptable. Also I didn't care for the bar under the front part of the shoe which is apparently part of a tennis shoe. I don't need tennis shoes. Otherwise, they fit fine, but I am returning them.

Shoes were much shorter than 9-1/2. And toe box was too narrow.

I'm usually a 10 but occasionally use 10.5 in running shoes. The 10B was too small for me (both a little short in length and the toe box was narrower than an old pair of New Balance court shoes I had). My foot is wider at toe box and narrower at heel. They probably would work in a 10.5 E(? though I don't usually order a W) or 11B (?). But since I ordered a pair of Asics at the same time, and those worked, I'm just returning my 10Bs. Nice enough otherwise.

I like the fit all around, but the extra rubber stripe at the heel, caused terrible blisters
Have tried pads, bandaids, etc. but no luck.

NB continues to offer this shoe which gives excellent foot support and comfort. So pleased that it still available; been buying the same shoes for a couple of years.

This is the only court shoe that I can wear. I love how it supports my feet.

The size was perfect. The shoe is lightweight and very stable. One shoe, only, has slight rubbing on the tongue part but it is getting better as I wear them more.

I am an avid 4.0 tennis player and I only wear New Balance tennis shoes because they come in a narrow width. At this moment, I have two pairs of the 806 shoes in my closet and one pair in my tennis bag. I will be wearing the New Balance 806 when I compete at the USTA 55+ 8.0 Nationals representing the Pacific Northwest Section in Orlando, Florida in October at the USTA National Campus!

I returned the shoes, right shoe was a great fit. The left shoe was small in the toe box. It must have been made a flaw from the factory. I have other New Balance shoes and haven’t had trouble with narrowest the right foot before.

Not sure why NB designs the toe box to be quite pointy. We need room for our toes. Disappointed.

I have wide feet and these are great. Needed to find a wide pair of tennis shoes and New Balance has them.

I believe I had the same shoe in the same size --9W in the past and they still fit better. My feet are swimming in these shoes (have not worn them yet). Is there a C width?

The wide was Sized right for me. I like that this shoe does not have the sock booty built in. Normal tongue which allows you to slip into it.

These fit my feet low in the heel and were a bit wider than I liked in the arch. They are comfortable & I do like New Balance.

My feet feel steady in this model of shoe - no pronating. Very comfortable, too.

My feet love these shoes. The width was perfect, the arch support was not too high. The shoe itself was not bulky which was why i bought it. I just love these shoes. I would love a black pair that fits as well as these but perfect for dressing, up.

I had previously ordered this style in a regular width and found that the toe box was a little tight. Ordered the wide version and it made all the difference!

Use them for pickle ball. Had a NB court shoe that was 1/2 the price and very comfortable. Decided I needed something with more structure in the upper. The 806 with leather is perfect. Comfortable with traction and support that gives me confidence to chase after difficult shots.
