Customer Reviews New Balance 806 Tennis Shoes

These were too uncomfortable to try to walk in them.

So very disappointed in New Balance. I have worn this size for at least 10 years. Now they are too tight to even try to walk in them. Description states SL2 last which means a wider than normal toe box--now the toe box is tight! All 3 pairs that I ordered are being returned. I am very disappointed. Guess I'll have to look for a different brand after probably 20 years of wearing New Balance tennis shoes!

Very stiff and uncomfortable. Toe box not very wide

New Balance are great sneakers! True narrow, fit at heel and comfortable. This time I ordered 3 pairs.

I’ve ordered the shoe before in a 4E that is extra extra wide. Evidently new balance no longer makes a 94E. If by any chance someone can find this shoe, I would be thrilled to purchase it. The only one I can find is a 2X wide.

Well made leather tennis shoe from New Balance Size 9A. It's hard to find narrow sports shoes so I tried the NB walking shoe and this tennis shoe. Unfortunately, both have the same problem. Toe box is narrow but mid-shoe thru heel is wide which allows the foot to shift during lateral moves not to mention the heel slipping out. Sorry to be returning them.

The fit was tight, and the sneaker was pressing on the top of the foot. Not comfortable

They fit pretty well but don’t seem to have much arch support. My foot bones hurt when I play in them.

The fit was good but the leather was too stiff which is not good for my wide feet. Wish it was in fabric, then I would have kept.

I originally ordered size 8 2A which is my measured size at every store where I shop for shoes. It was too small. Then I ordered size 8 & 1/2 2A, it was still too small. I finally was able to get a size 9 2A after waiting for it to come back into stock. Finally, it fit. I would recommend to anyone ordering this shoe to size up one full size. The shoe is beautiful. You will need to obtain better inserts as the ones that come with the shoes are very thin which makes the shoe unsupportive. I love this shoe and will keep it.

I have a very narrow foot, but this shoe was too narrow in the toe box. Plus, even though I ordered up a half size from normal, it was too short.

New Balance shoes must run small. I loved the look of the shoe but size 8 was at least a full size small. I will reorder in size 9 to see if they fit like they should.

this is my favorite tennis shoe cause it’s the ONLY tennis shoe that offers 2A. Thanks to NB! Zappos is the best!!

The ankle width was very large, the toe width was correct

I was disappointed the 2E’s were too narrow, loved the look and tread of it!!

This shoe was way smaller than most New Balance in the same size. So disappointed!

All good - second pair I've purchased - wore out the first pair.

I have a pair of New Balance that I aDORE, but following foot surgery find them too small. Unfortunately, for me, these are apparently in-between whatever size I need now. I said they're true to size, because they likely are for most people, but for me, they're about 25% too big (so, not even a half size).

Does not have any cushion when walking.

These are the only wide width sneakers that fit, and I've worn them for a good 20 years. I add my sport arch support insole and they're perfect!

The shoes I bought three times, the WC1006v1, were not available, so I got the tennis shoes because they were available in my size. I liek to buy narrow tennis shoes. They are hard as a rock. I will have to find something else.

Shoe was very very stiff and heavy

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.
