Customer Reviews New Balance 806 Tennis Shoes

My right foot is just a fraction longer than my left. When the right shoe fit, I was very excited as I have a very hard to fit foot. But the left shoe was too short. Grrrr.

Ordered the wide because the regular width was too tight. But these are too big - heel slips out & toe box is huge!

Great shoes, but not for clay tennis courts!

Normally I wear an 8N. I always order my tennis shoes a 1/2 size larger. Order these shoes in 8.5N. That size was too short. Ordered them again in 9N. Length was OK but width in toe box was too larbe

Think this shoe will be great; however with my orthotic insert I need to go up half a size. So happy Zappos carries a narrow shoe specifically for tennis as they are hard to find! Thank you, Zappos!

I actually loved the shoe, fantastic support. However, after wearing them for only 4 weeks, the soles are already worn out, which is crazy. I do play lots of tennis, but am usually able to keep them for about 3 months. I contacted Zappos about this, and they wouldn't help me, they said I had to go through New Balance directly, which was quite disappointing. I guess I will be buying directly from NB moving forward, if they can't provide me support after purchase.

I do have a wide foot and find that only shoes made by New Balance fit my foot. I have purchased several pairs of New Balance shoes for tennis over the past few years. The fit seems to be accurate for my foot. It would be nice to have a little more arch support as it seems a little less than moderate. There is plenty of toe room and these shoes did not require any "break-in" period for me.

New Balance used to be my go-to court shoe for pickleball, but they have changed their sizing and no longer have a wide toe box. Too bad!

This is hands down the narrowest athletic shoe I've found. Feeling good about the support I'm getting now, since my foot isn't sliding from side-to-side even though laces are tied as snugly as possible. A bit stiff, but is working out nicely - since I've never had a shoe fit like this, my feet are getting accustomed to shoes that stay in place. Wish it came in more color options.

I have worn this shoe for past two years. In the last year, they have resized this shoe. The 6 was way too large. The 5.5 is way too tight. I just don't understand how such an awesome shoe could be changed for the worse. Very disappointed.

Runs short like most New Balance shoes these days. I wear a 12N in Saucony, but 12's are too short in New Balance. Too bad as this seems like a well-made shoe.

Love these New Balance Wc806 tennis sneakers.They seem to wear really well.

I'm happy with these shoes, I have bunions and have trouble finding shoes that are comfortable with my orthotics and these shoes work well. I did have trouble with the heels slipping, but it's fine, and may be more due to the orthotics than the shoes themselves.

Got this because doc recommended roll bar. Not thrilled with style, sort of grannyish. However, support is there. I use for walking and intermediate hiking. My foot doesn't seem to roll and is stable within the shoe. I have the beginnings of bunions which do cause me pain. I sometimes order a 7 1/2 to get more room, but usually do fine with a regular size 7. I could hardly get my foot into the 7 because it was way too narrow. This is a stiff shoe. Since the 7 seemed so small, I ordered a whole size up and a wide, but it was too large. I finally settled on a 7 1/2 wide. It is roomy but not so that it falls off. There is room for an orthotic. I would recommend this shoe if you are looking for a stabilizing sneaker. Thank goodness for Zappos fast shipping and free returns/exchanges - LOVE this company!

New Balance has always been my go to shoe, I have wide feet I ordered this one in a 2EE and was not wide enough do not know if it is just in this style or has New Balance changed their sizing

They may look a little more clunky than I like but I have been wearing this model for years and it is perfect for support and my wide feet. Used as my go to tennis shoe.

I purchased the Narrow and had to return them. The length felt true to size but the depth of the toe box was too deep
