I play tennis regularly. These shoes fit my narrow (AA) foot and give good support for rigorous play.

These felt a bit klunky for a tennis shoe, but also the toe area pitched forward enough to pinch my toes. New Balance are my go-to shoes, and these just didn't feel as comfortable for me. Returning them.

Exactly what I ordered, fast delivery. I had wanted to buy local but they could not get my size for another 3 months...Zappos came through!

I had to size up a full size to achieve a good fit. From 7.5 N to 8.5 N.

They are comfortable and provide great lateral support. I have two pairs, one in Florida, one in Delaware!

I have been wearing these for about ten years. Boring, I know, but I know they fit and they will last 3-6 months depending upon how much tennis I'm playing. My only gripe is it's hard to find 10.5 women's size; I order two pair at a time.

Great product. The only pair of tennis shoes that I buy. Have worn for years and comfortably fit my bunion.

I thought these might be too stiff when I first tried them on, so I gave them a "dry run" tryout, by first wearing them around inside my house (to decide whether or not I needed to send them back). To my surprise, they "warmed up" after just a short time of wearing them and conformed well to the shape of my feet. I like this full leather body design, much better than the white court shoes that have partial mesh construction, which seems to stain & yellow badly after just a few wearings. My toes tends to be slightly wide and New Balance shoes give me plenty of "toe box" room, so my toes aren't too cramped and squashed.

I have narrow feet and it's very difficult for me to find a good athletic shoe, well my search is over. Unbeatable comfort, support and fit!

I have very narrow feet and these fit! It's hard to find shoes that fit. Yay!

I have worn a competitor's shoe for 45 years. My podiatrist said, "get better shoes". These feel great and give me the support on the court I need. Order a half size up for the perfect fit.

Great tread for running around ion the tennis court. Good support for foot as well. What I do not like is that the color options are missing for those with wide feet. D or EE. Why should we miss out on that fun?

I ordered 1/2 a size up in this shoe, but it was tight in the toe, and although I ordered a wide, it did not feel wide at all. Overall, the shoe was not comfortable.

I've bought these a few times because there are so few wide tennis sneakers. But I do find them stiff the first few weeks. And they do crack where the crease is rather quickly. Has happened several times but haven't found a better alternative.

I’ve worn New Balance for years. This particular shoe felt very stiff. Ordered usual size 6ww and where too tight so exchanged for 61/2 ww and still tight. I think maybe because these are all leather on top May be why I don’t feel as comfortable in these. I think it is still a good shoe just not for me.

This tennis shoe is very well made & solid to the touch. The size fits correctly. The shoe, however, is very stiff & takes time to break in.

While I would have kept this tennis shoe I had to return it because it was too tight across the base of the toes.

I liked the material and how the shoe looked but unfortunately it was narrow in fit and made my thin socks bunch up.

The shoes are sized extra wise but they are so tight. And have such a pointy and narrow toe box that they are completely unwearable. I have worn New Balance for years. You have always had my size and I have been so grateful to have a roomy comfortable fit. But not these shoes!
