At first I thought the sneaker wouldn't fit. Seemed too narrow.
However when I put them on they were comfortable. I played pickleball and was very comfortable wearing them.
I mostly buy New Balance because of the wide width.

Years ago I wore a 6 1/2 or 7. Sizing has changed, I realize, but I would need a size 9 in the style court shoe. The toe too narrow, and the shoe overall too clunky to play Pickleball in. Went back to An ASIC shoe.

I am returning. I have been wearing these shoes for at least 8 years. Something has changed. They felt narrower (I need wide and have always ordered wide). I was told to order a 1/2 size up...this did not work for width and they were too big in the heel.

Exactly what I expected...& then some - allow me to feel safe & confident on the court. (probably have owned at these 3rd pair over the past few yrs. My only Wish is that they would be available in other color schemes!! :)

The fit and size were perfect for me. It is very difficult for me to get any shoes that are comfortable as I love to play tennis but have foot problems. I have large bunions, need orthotics, have short feet and a very narrow heels. Most wide shoes are not wide enough for me, or if they are, my heel slips out of the back of the shoe. These sneakers are perfect for me. The EE width is fine for the width I need above the toes, and the six lace holes keep my foot in the shoe. The sneakers easily accommodate my orthotics.
I loved shopping on the website because you can easily call and speak to a person about questions. The person I spoke to was so helpful. It was a wonderful shopping experience.

I have been wearing this style shoe for many years. When I wear out the tread on the soles, I simply reorder them .

I love this shoe. It fits my foot like a glove. It's true to width and length. I have low arches so it's [perfect not too high. The heel is deep and allows the shoe to give lots of support. It's a great shoe.

I wear a size 5 - 5.5 and the widest width (ee) shoe which is only made by New Balance. I'm a regular tennis player and could not play without these shoes. Please dont ever stop making them. I buy one or more pairs a year. They're comfortable, not heavy, breathable and nicely cushioned.

I love these for tennis. No break in required. Would have given 5 stars if they would offer an all white or color other than purple.

I got two pairs, one in a D width and the other in a 2E width. They're still bothering my feet as I try to wear them around the house to see if they will loosen up. I am about to return both pairs, sadly...... I used to love NB sneakers and they were wide enough to fit. Now they're all tight in the front of the foot. This is the 3rd shoe style in the NB family I've tried. Is it me, or the shoe? It might be me, but I feel the shoe fits and construction have changed - & not for the better....

I tried a few pairs of what I hoped would be comfortable running/walking shoes with enough padding, wide enough shoe box for bunions and arch support for plantar fascitis and these were the winners! For the first time in a long time my feet don't hurt. I jog or walk about 3 miles a day and have custom insoles, but I don't even need them in these shoes. They are the best so I ordered another pair!

Started with the 804 which was fantastic, I wore out the sole before the upper even showed any wear. Unfortunately the 806 is a cheap replacement; the upper wears out before the sole. Comparing the 804 to the 806, 804 leather-806 "cheap" imitation. The upper on the 806 is creased, cracker, and separating. The name suggests 'quality', the actual shoe shows 'poor quality'.

These are supposed to be wide but they are little tight on the side of my foot. If you have a wide foot, you might want to size up.

I have a pair of 3 year old 806's size 6.5 extra-wide that fit perfectly. They are the only pair of tennis shoes that I own. Sadly, due to lots of use, they are wearing out. I ordered 3 pairs of the same model, size and width. All three pairs are noticeably narrower than my original pair, and do not fit. What a disappointment! I will have to return all.

I need shoes that have a curved shape, wider at the toes than the heels. These were shaped for narrow feet. Had to return, they did not work for me.
