Customer Reviews New Balance 806 Tennis Shoes

Does not have any cushion when walking.

DIdn't try them on. It was for my senior parent who thought they felt "heavy" and didn't bend flexibly at the front foot part. I think its fine for middle aged and younger though.

Have always loved my NB shoes, but these I needed to return. Ordered my usual size (10, regular width) but they felt more snug overall on my feet, and the material of the shoe felt very stiff and plastic-y. They didn't feel like they would break-in well. The shoes looked good, but I couldn't wear them comfortably.

These were pretty comfortable - classic tennis/court shoe by NB. The wide toe box was roomy, but the shoe feels very heavy. I didn't feel like I would be able move around the court with ease. Returning them.

The toe box was not wide enough for my feet.

These were much bigger than thought they would be

These are cute.. but they are too wide, I usually wear 6.5 W and my foot swam in them.

They're a bit clunky, but I'm wearing them for solo walks when looking fashionable is not a factor. I ordered wide because most athletic shoes in my size or 1/2 size up pinch toes on one foot. For this purchase, I decided to order my regular size in a wide width. Instead of being only wider, they are bigger overall.

This is a very stiff shoe. The fit was good but I expected it to soften up a bit but sadly no.

I don't understand why shoemakers believe all women have dainty feet, or, rather, they don't understand there are many women who work on their feet 16hrs/day and, over time, their feet widen. This shoe was not even a 2E in width, as posted. And I couldn't get my foot into the toe box to checkout the sizing or support. Back to MENS ugly shoes! :-<

I like the shoes but I do feel the toe width is a little tight. I was looking to purchase another pair of shoes and will do so but, I'll go back to the 928v3 which has more toe room.

to heavy

would be great if true to size

It's not very comfortable or stylish.

The extra wide in these tennis shoes was too wide for me -- they kept slipping off! In New Balance Running shoes I take extra wide but apparently not in the tennis shoes!

It is unfortunate that shoe manufactures couldn't also produce shoes for those of us with bunions. I have tried many shoes, these were almost wide enough in the ball of the foot and toe area. These had to be stretched, but allowed less pain and redness on my bunions. Now I have to deal with the fact that the heel is Way TOO Wide.

The New Balance WC806 were purchased more for a walking shoe than tennis or sport shoe. The fit is good until the toe box. Too narrow for a medium width. These are good looking and sturdy shoes.

Too heavy and not breathable enough. Afraid I would have sweaty feet.

too heavy and hot feeling. Could tell my feet would get sweaty wearing it during pickleball.

The key issue is sizing, these were the correct size (9.5 narrow) but were too short! I have an older pair of NB shoes at home that fit perfectly…so I would guess poor quality control in manufacturing

I returned these New Balance shoes because they did not fit well. Although I ordered my usual size for New Balance shoes (10 1/2 Narrow), the shoes were too short AND the heel was too loose (I have a triple A heel).
