I have used these shoes for my tennis matches for years. Suddenly, I need a half of a size larger. The old 8 w jam my big toe and I have a bruised nail. Not sure why, but my normal 8 w had to be returned for 8 1/2 wide.

I've had this same shoe in the past. However, either my feet have gotten wider, or the width of these shoes has change.

Love these shoes for pickleball! Due to several foot surgeries I have a wide foot. In addition I have PF these shoes are the only ones I have found I can wear without any issues. Just wish you offered more styles/color in an extra wide. For those that say they are too smalljust order a size up.

These shoes fit my long, narrow feet well. They are constructed well and feel sturdy. The sturdy material seemed like they would need breaking in. I went with a Brooks running shoe instead because of more arch support, softer and lighter weight shoe, more room in toe box.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks, Saucony

I deal with rigid toes and pump hump (laymen terms) with tight Achilles tendons. I order up one size to fit an orthotic. Stretching and these shoes make Pickleball possible. I've lost count of how many I've purchased over the years. They last about 4 months for me at 15 hrs a week playing time. No break in period.

NB continues to offer this shoe which gives excellent foot support and comfort. So pleased that it still available; been buying the same shoes for a couple of years.

Only shoes that work for my 2e feet, just wished they came in fun colors other than white!

Finally a narrow that's actually a narrow! The length does run short though... I'd say a full size. I usually wear a 9.5N, and I bet a 10 or even 10.5N would've fit me in this shoe.

New Balance helped stabilize my feet on the court. We’re true to fit and provided me cushioning.

After Achilles reattachment surgery I never thought I would play tennis again! These are perfect as the rocker motion of the sole helps me push off and the stiffness is typical for tennis shoes.

I thought these might be too stiff when I first tried them on, so I gave them a "dry run" tryout, by first wearing them around inside my house (to decide whether or not I needed to send them back). To my surprise, they "warmed up" after just a short time of wearing them and conformed well to the shape of my feet. I like this full leather body design, much better than the white court shoes that have partial mesh construction, which seems to stain & yellow badly after just a few wearings. My toes tends to be slightly wide and New Balance shoes give me plenty of "toe box" room, so my toes aren't too cramped and squashed.

I have narrow feet and it's very difficult for me to find a good athletic shoe, well my search is over. Unbeatable comfort, support and fit!

I have worn a competitor's shoe for 45 years. My podiatrist said, "get better shoes". These feel great and give me the support on the court I need. Order a half size up for the perfect fit.

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

Since I have an extremely narrow foot, my orthotics fills in where I need it. This is great for Court sports so I’m happy.

I usually wear a 10D in NB, and I ordered this same shoe in a 10D. It felt too narrow, or mis-sized, so I ordered a 10EE. It fits perfect!

Wanted to love these. Once had them on felt like left right were swapped. Couldn't walk normally through my kitchen. Very strange mold of foot and definitely not my foot. Shame

These shoes have been the best addition to my tennis game. I play twice per week and have worn them for the last year. I am ready to get a new pair of the same shoes to replace them with. I play on hard courts and clay and find them particularly well suited to the hard court surface.

I love these tennis shoes. I had been wearing cross trainer shoes while playing tennis causing my knees and feet to become very sore, they would even trip me up on the court. The NB court shoes feel awesome one my feet. I would definitely recommend to others!

These court shoes fit really well (I needed a Wide and couldn't find that size locally). They give firm support, and give good traction while sidestepping on the court.
