Customer Reviews New Balance 806 Tennis Shoes

They fit pretty well but don’t seem to have much arch support. My foot bones hurt when I play in them.

Have multiple pairs of NB running shoes in 8M, but this court shoe is very tight in that same size! No consistency in sizing! It's also a bit clunky for a court shoe.

I was pleased to find a narrow court shoe, and this one did feel more narrow that other brands that run narrow. However, I realized that I should have gone up a whole size from my regular (non-athletic) shoes, rather than only a half size. Returning, and Zappo's doesn't have the size that I need.

They aren't as cushioned as others of theirs I've had. And I couldn't feel the arch.

I ordered this shoe in a size 8W. When I first looked at the shoe, the toe box appeared to be narrower than a wide width. However, when I put my orthotic inserts into the shoe my foot sat higher and the fit was more comfortable. But when I kept them on for a while longer, I could feel my feet being squeezed on the sides of the toe box and knew I would not be able to walk for any length of time in this shoe. I will be returning them. A plus for this shoe is that it had a rollbar which helped with overpronation. New Balance no longer makes the hiking boots or shoes that were a good fit for me, and I noticed that their sizes vary by style of shoe, so I never know how an 8W is going to fit in any particular style. I've ordered Brooks Addiction Walker 2 since it checks all the boxes for the support and size that I need. Hoping it will be a good fit.

Had very high hopes that this shoe would be wide enough, but an EE Extra wide is not as wide as my Hoka D width. Sadly have to return.

Picked these for pickleball as they were the highest rated by the most purchasers. So far so good once they’re broken in I think they’ll work great.

These shoes didn't work for me; too loose/sloppy in the ankle and I need a more supportive shoe for that area. I think they're cute shoes; just didn't work for me.

I purchased these for arch support but there is none. They are comfortable but I need arch support

The shoe is great but it hurt the top of my big toe, as did the last pair did of another brand. Will try another brand.

The fit was fine except for the part of the right shoe over the big toe, and it became very painful after a while. I am unable to walk in them. Though I've never worn a W, I ordered a different pair of shoes where a review said had a larger toe box.

This pair of shoes were true to size. The problem for me was that it is a somewhat stiff shoe that was rubbing my foot and creating a hot spot.

I love new balance 900 series and walking shoes. Have many pairs in a 9.5 M. This shoe was too narrow in my regular size as well as one bigger. I also tried the wide in next size - fit great in the upper portion but was too wide in the heel.

Shoes looked nice but the toe box was too small for me.

Love the fit! A little heavier than anticipated but this is my 4th pair of shoes. For wide wide feet a must

Shoes were sturdy and well made but a little rigid. They also fit pretty well--11N, I wear 11AAAA. Only came in white in my size, I went with something that felt equally comfy and in a more appealing color.

I really liked all the ankle support on this shoe, but the ball felt a bit thin and lacking in cushion. I get metatarsal foot pain, so I may be in the minority, but I would have liked more cushion there as well. Performed well on the court and I’m happy I finally broke down and bought a tennis shoe. Performance was better than a running shoe.
