Customer Reviews New Balance 806 Tennis Shoes

I've never written a review about a shoe. But this one is so bad - here I am logging into Zappos to warn others. The shoe feels like you are walking on cement. The tongue sticks out because the laces end to soon. It's just a terrible tennis shoe and I'm probably going to buy new ones because I tried to break them in - but they aren't getting any better. Waste of money.

The shoe felt like it was extra wide. The leather was stiff.

Shipped the wrong size. I wanted medium and you shipped me wide

Had to return them. Too small toe box narrow. Would need a half size larger. Decided to by another brand Brooks.

Very dissatisfied that New Balance has decided to make their extra wide shoes following a regular width last. Size inconsistency is a major reason for ditching a brand.

Had to return these. They were WAY TOO NARROW. Can't imagine that anyone would have a foot that narrow. I'm waiting for the B width to come back in stock, and am hoping that they will work. I've worn these shoes for tennis for years and have been very satisfied. Crossed fingers that the B width hasn't been made too narrow too. I couldn't evaluate the "OverAll", the "Comfort" or the "Style" because I couldn't get the shoe on my foot.

Redesign of the toe box: narrower/more pointed toe, as well as shallower box over arch, when compared with same exact model and size that I will have to continue to wear. Bad news for me since I have relied on New Balance to provide a good fit for those with slightly wider feet.

Very narrow toe box

With this shoe being a New Balance, I assumed that there would be ample arch support. There is none. The inside of the shoe is flat. The medium width of this shoe should be marked "narrow".

Years ago I wore a 6 1/2 or 7. Sizing has changed, I realize, but I would need a size 9 in the style court shoe. The toe too narrow, and the shoe overall too clunky to play Pickleball in. Went back to An ASIC shoe.

I am returning. I have been wearing these shoes for at least 8 years. Something has changed. They felt narrower (I need wide and have always ordered wide). I was told to order a 1/2 size up...this did not work for width and they were too big in the heel.
