I usually wear 9 or 9.5, ordered size 10 because they are athletic shoes. They were too small in the toe area. My toes were hitting the end of the shoe. I have previously purchased New Balance size 10 and they were roomy in the toe area. I think this style runs small.

I love my New Balance WC806. They fit perfectly. They are super comfortable. They are like not having any shoes on at all. I love New Balance shoes and have worn them for several years. I've tried other brands but they weren't as good as New Balance.

I play pickleball everyday and they are extremely comfortable with lots of support. The negative is that the treads wear out very quickly.

The size is perfect. The material is great. They are so comfortable. When I wear them it feels like I don't have anything on my foot. I'm very well pleased with the shoes I ordered. New Balance can't be out performed.

I have a wide foot due to a bone break and this width fits perfectly. I do use inserts in all of my shoes for support.

Very stable and supportive tennis court shoe. A bit heavier than the 896v3 I like, but the narrow fits well.

Wonderful support for us "runners" on the tennis court. Only all leather tennis shoes anyone makes anymore and they are so fantastic! The leather holds your foot in position when you run down a ball so you won't turn an ankle! Please, New Balance, don't discontinue these So strong support, all leather, tennis shoes!

I use both products for playing tennis. Both are excellent. The shoes fit well and are nice and padded for comfort.

There are some places that feel irritating like there were mfg. irregularities which were not correctable - an eyelet that was at an odd angle, a seam that was too rough and out of place, stitches tight enough to cause a lump on the inside of arch. The fit was tight, but I am not returning these. This is the second pair of New Balance which I have bought from you that do not seem up to the quality standard I expect from this brand.

Ordered the 2E and it was wide but not at the ball of the foot. It was tight and would be uncomfortable to wear.

I wanted a replacement for New Balance 847 and this was suggested. It fit my foot but the toe box was narrower and lower than the 847 and was uncomfortable. I have to go into Boston to see if I can find a replacement as that is the closest NB store.

What a pleasure to shop for narrow tennis shoes (for PickleBall) and enjoy a good, narrow fit.

Like the roll bar feature, arch support and leather. Only disadvantage is that it is a bit heavier than some court shoes. It only comes in the one color, however I have gotten to rather like the color as it goes with everything.

I play tennis year round and always need to replace my shoes. Since being fitted for shoes, the 806 gives best support. All leather, sturdy and help prevent ankle rolling during play. So glad I found them on sale!!

This is not an exciting buy for me as I've purchased this particular shoe for more years than I can remember. What that does say is that this is a fantastic shoe for both clay (good grip) and hard (lots of support in the ankle) courts. I wouldn't think of getting anything else but New Balance because they hold up better than other shoes I've tried.

I only wear new balance, and my old pair of tennis sneakers were a 7.5, thats what I ordered. They are too small. I decided to try another style as well.
