The toe was way too pointed. Squashed my toes and made my feet look ultra long.

I normally wear 9.5N but sized up to a 10N per other comments. The length was fine. However, the mid-foot and heel areas were too wide, and the toe box had a weird shape that did not work with my feet. I like a rounded toe box. This shoe had a pointer shape that would have worked great if I did not have a big toe or pinky toe. The pinky side was angled too much from the widest part to the toe box. The big toe side angled too much, so my big toe got pushed over. I tried various ways of lacing hoping to hold my heel in, but to no avail. It also felt like the soles were too big for the upper. Felt like clown shoes. Returned. Sad that there are so few options for narrow feet and that this shoe didn't seem to be a true narrow width shoe.

I should have paid attention to the reviews. The heel was wide but the toe box was narrow and I ordered 2e.

I like the fit all around, but the extra rubber stripe at the heel, caused terrible blisters
Have tried pads, bandaids, etc. but no luck.

I was desperately looking for a court shoe in a wide width. I ordered this shoe in a EE (my usual width) and was grossly disappointed. The EE is equivalent to what used to be a B width. This shoe is tapered at the toe, making is substantially narrow. Who makes a tapered toe in a shoe for someone with wide feet? Even with ordering a half size larger than usual, my foot did not fit comfortably in the shoe. My toes were crammed together like they would be if wearing a stiletto. They started to cramp from wearing the shoe. Plus, because I needed to order a larger size than usual to even get my foot in the shoe, I had a lot of extra length to the shoe. I would not recommend this shoe for anyone with wide feet. Why New Balance chose this style for their only available "wide" court shoe is beyond me. Poor choice. I'd appreciate a women's court shoe with a wide toe box in a "wide" and "extra wide" width with normal size heel.
