Customer Reviews New Balance 806 Tennis Shoes

I have always worn NB tennis shoes, am a senior, and my feet have gotten wider so that I need a W shoe. This shoe is not comfortable, not wide enough in the toe box. I am very frustrated.

I HAVE SAME SHOE IN 12 N BUT LATELY AFTER 4 OR MOR MONTH OF WEAR TOES HURT. I LIKE THE STYLE SO I ORDERED 12 M THAT FEEL JUST AD TIGHT IN TOES. I AM RETURNING THEM. I NEED SHOES WITH MOTION CONTROL WHICH ARENT VERY STYLISH MOST OF TIME. CB

Shoe runs too small - I have been a true size 7 for years - this shoe was returned due to too small

These are ok tennis shoes. They are not the most comfortable and feel kind of clunky. They do accommodate my orthotic and have a neutral foot bed. They are made of leather and feel more stiff than I would like.

I wear an 8 Narrow shoe and always buy tennis shoes a half size larger. When the WCT1000 changed its fit I was beside myself. I bought this tennis shoe in an 8 1/2 Narrow and was thrilled with the fit. When tried to buy the shoe again, I wanted to stock pile it. It was out of stock in my size. Eventually Zappos had one in my size and I ordered it. Thinking of buying a 3rd pair, just in case.

I need a lot of toe room and since I have a narrow foot, I need a half size larger but a narrow width so the size 10 Narrow works here. Not the most stylish shoe but the only true tennis shoe that works for me on the court.

Tight, run narrow and heel stiff. Good for Tennis not for everyday,

The heel was a bit wide and my toe hit the end on the left foot.

I have a narrow foot and these have lots of adjustment to allow for my narrow feet. But these are without a doubt the shortest size 10 that I have ever had on. I normally wear a 9 1/2 or 10.

I have bought these shoes and the same size forever and these now are way way too small. Everything about this shoes is uncomfortable and the quality has completely changed for the worst. I am very disappointed in New Balance.

I normally wear a size 8N in shoes. For years I've purchased New Balance 8 1/2N for a perfect fit. My tennis shoe of choice was the WCT1000 series. Since the cut of it has changed I've been beside myself to find the right tennis shoe. This shoe fits me perfectly. As another reviewer said when you find the right shoe buy 2. Unfortunately when I purchased this shoe there was only one in stock in my size. Looking forward to Zappos getting another 8 1/2 narrow in stock.

I usually wear an 8 extra wide so ordered an 8.5 and a 9 EE based on comments. I really hoped it would work but the toe box was very tapered and narrow. It looks nice but was too tight across the base of my toes and caused my toes to cramp. I have a high instep and could hardly get the shoe closed with the short laces. It is not wide enough across the instep. The next size up ( a full size bigger than my usual) was roomy enough but had way too much length. I also wear an orthotic and the heel on this shoe was barely deep enough for the orthotic. My heel kept popping out. I have been trying for months to find good court shoes and I really wanted these to work. I can't imagine why this extra wide comes with such a tapered toe. People with wide feet need more room in the toe box! I wore New Balance for years and am so disappointed that they have moved to this narrow profile. The only shoe I can find wide enough is the Saucony ProGrid but it is not a court shoe ... just making due for the moment.

I agree with the other reviewer who said that new balance 2E is no longer as wide as it used to be. I have been purchasing new balance 2E width for years and I am very disappointed that they have decided to go narrower to save a few pennies. While the shoe looked good it did not fit as I expected it to. I sent them back. I hope New Balance gets the message someday that this was not a wise decision.

It's so hard to find narrow sneakers. These are GREAT!

these shoes are not wide. i have tried many NB shoes and the only ones that are truly wide are the style of NB - WW577. i have been getting that same style for years. the other NB's are not wide enough.

too stiff for comfort

The shoe is narrow in the front of the shoe.

I ordered 11 N and usually wear about a 10-10 1/2. I've never worn anything larger than an 11, and then I have to add an insole to help with width. The 10 1/2 I ordered was just too short enough to be uncomfortable so I order an 11. It may be a smidgen longer, but not sure it's that. I'm desperate for sneakers and because I like them so well and the width fit, I'm keeping them.

Very difficult to find a shoe that fits me. Generally I wear 10 1/2 S. These 10/12 N fit nicely with thick enough socks, but unfortunately they are too short.

I rarely find shoes, especially a 10 1/2 N, and was excited to find these. The right shoe fit as since it is a fraction longer than the left, I was super excited to have a pair. However, it was just enough to short to be uncomfortable. Regrettably, sent back.
