As recently as 2 years ago I wore a B width. Even the W in this shoe is too narrow in the toe box. I am going to try the EE and hope the heel is still narrow enough.

Good fit for wide foot and high arch. Great support. Tried others this is the best for me. I prefer the full leather coverage and molded sole.

This is the one and only for me.

I just started playing Pickleball and needed court shoes. Having never purchased one before, I was not sure what to expect but these are great. They are very comfortable the first time used, even for my wide feet. I always buy half a size larger in athletic shoes because I wear heavier socks, but my normal size would have worked with lighter socks.

I have awful bunion-plagued feet and from the first minute I put these on I knew they would be perfect. Comfortable and functional. I'm going to buy a second pair to have on hand.

I wear an 8.5 narrow and these shoes are fantastic. My last pair was also New Balance, but this pair gives me more stability and support; great for narrow feet.

I love these tennis shoes. They are so comfortable for narrow feet. I have had several pairs, and will continue to order spares since they get discontinued so quickly. I wear them 4-5 times per week and they usually hold up for a season or two.

I am a 4.0 tennis player and like these shoes because of the width. I have ordered them repeatedly, and they never seem to need to be broken in. I have to order about four pairs a year because the soles wear out, but I play on hard courts, so that could be the reason. I wish they had different colors to choose from.

These are the absolutely best New Balance shoe that I have buy in a long time. They are extremely comfortable. They are a little tight the first time I tried the shoe on, but after that we became easier to put on.

Great shoe, but I seemed to have a problem with the width on this style that is all leather with a roll bar. The other pair was another style and fit perfectly.

Even though the shipping documents indicate that you shipped a 9, if you look at the actual shoes, they are 9.5. Ineed9's. I a returning these since they do not fit.

These are the best tennis shoes I have ever worn. I have problem feet and wear orthotics and they fit comfortably in the shoe. I order a half size larger to fit with tennis socks & a wide width. Perfect fit. My physiatrist recommended New Balance exclusively.

It is so difficult to find shoes to fit my narrow heel. These are great. I wear full orthotics so don't feel that I can pass judgement on the arch support. But it is so nice to a selection of shoes that fits my foot needs.

My go to shoe for tennis. Was recommended to me by a foot doc that made my orthotics. I wear a size 7 shoe but get 1/2 size bigger for tennis. The inserts need a full size bigger.

I have ordered and worn these shoes for years. The size, fit, and comfort are great. There is no breaking in period. I wear orthodics which work great in these shoes. I am a tennis player, so these are my tennis, tennis shoes. I do not recommend them for walking. There are other tennis shoes that are better for walking.

Excellent tennis shoes. They fit beautifully, and have great cushioning. They are also the only high quality tennis shoe brand that I know of now that offers different widths for tennis shoes.

The shoes were very comfortable from the first. I play basketball and can't find a good fit in a regular basketball shoe because I have narrow feet. These have the same type of tread and have been excellent for this purpose.

I play tennis 3-5 times per week and NB makes the sneaker that fits my foot best. Roomy toe box (doesn't squeeze sensitive bunions) and well supported heel. I am a loyal fan!

This is a great sturdy tennis shoe, especially for someone with foot issues. The purple lining is attractive on the shoe. The sizes run small, so try a 1/2 size bigger.

Great shoe. I've tried many court shoes and New Balance are the only ones I can put on right out of the box, play tennis for 2 hours and not think once about my feet. Probably wouldn't be great for people with really narrow feet.

Very comfy, yet supportive, tennis shoe. The only problem I initially had with these is that the back of my ankles got blisters from the top of the shoe rubbing. I do think that part comes up higher than other athletic shoes. But after a few wears they were great!

I never used to wear NB, but Nikes this year didn't seem to fit properly and so decided to try these.
I had to take a 71/2 inlieu of a 7. They feel like they support my foot all around with no slipping. I ended up buying two(2) pair so I would have one in reserve.
I do feel that most of the shoe manufacturers have changed their sizing. So it is always a hit or miss. One has to keeping trying on the sneakers until one feels good, then walk in them in the house to make sure they stay feeling good. And this shoe did.

Ive been wearing 806s for countless years. They are the best shoe available to use with orthodic inserts.
