What's with the short shoe laces? I couldn't even tie them properly using all the holes for support. Also, the medium felt like a narrow and my regular size 8 was tight in the toe area. I'm not sure if I'll try the 8 ½. For shoes over $100, it would bug me to have to purchase longer laces.

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.

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....

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.

Size 11 felt like a size 10. Very disappointed.

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.

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 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.

My left foot is a little wider than my right. It is also almost a half size smaller. Typically when I buy shoes the left is tighter than the right. Not this time the left actually fits, the right is too narrow. Have to wear thin socks with these shoes in order for them to fit and then still tight on the right foot. So far only worn around the house, not sure how they will feel after playing pickleball. Consider ordering wider.

This shoe would be improved by a little arch support and more padding on the bottom. Since they do run large, they probably would fit decent orthodics on the bottom and maybe some airsoles.

The cut of the toe box is a little too narrow for a Medium. The shoe also runs 1/2 size smaller than expected. Going 1/2 size up worked, but right big toe still rubbed against side of shoe. Will try a Wide if available to see if that resolves the issue.

This show seemed very sturdy and well made but it must run small as I ordered a 9-1/2 and usually wear a 9 in regular shoes. Other NB court shoes size 9-1/2 fit me very comfortably. I was disappointed because another friend really likes this shoe.

Sizing was odd. The shape of the shoe seemed to push my foot foward and the front is narrow. Had high hopes, but they're going back.

I always wore NB court shoes. However, the last 3 pair had problems with the tongue. I need to lace tight since I have a narrow foot with a bunionette so need wide to accommodate. Having a very short tongue does not work for me.

The heels slides out of the shoe when I walk. I have narrow feet (12 AA) and need a narrow heel. These didn't have it.

The heel was too wide. The strings were too short . Shoe was hard. I ordered half size larger after reading others reviews but was too long.I need a deep toebox.NB have changed, not what I used to buy.
