Customer Reviews New Balance 806 Tennis Shoes

I just seemed short 1/2 size and narrow at toe area,have had 3 pair of New Balance in the last few years. Look great but already wear an 11 not about the order a 12.

These are great sneakers. I'm a nurse. I wear them at work. I got the wide width. The fit is great.

I've been wearing this shoe and its predecessor for years. About 2 years ago I noticed that the 10.5 that used to fit perfectly is now too short. The outsoles are a disappointment as well...I found myself having to replace them every 3 months or so. I feel a bit stuck with New Balance as they are the only ones I know who make a narrow shoe.

These shoes used to work for me. But this last pair runs small so my 9 1/2 AA foot is now in a size 12 instead of the 11 I've got in the past, and the toe box is more narrow. That's causing my big toes to hit the side in spite of the larger size, resulting in knee and back pain. I've bought a shoe stretcher and am hoping they will eventually stretch out enough since the store I got them from doesn't take returns.

There were two different size shoes in this box. There was one shoe size 11M and one shoe size 10 1/2 wide.

I have awful bunion-plagued feet and from the first minute I put these on I knew they would be perfect. Comfortable and functional. I'm going to buy a second pair to have on hand.

They are like walking on cement. No cushion at all. I presently have 2 insoles in each of them to try to make the walk comfortable. It didn't work. No arch support either. After spending this much, the next move is to just throw them away. I can't wear them. They hurt my feet after wearing them for only 15 minutes. I would absolutely not recommend these to anyone. Total waste of money.

I ordered these shoes in an extra wide size and I would say they are barely a medium width. Extremely disappointed. Additionally they are very stiff. If you need a wide width shoe, stay away from these.

I wear an 8.5 narrow and these shoes are fantastic. My last pair was also New Balance, but this pair gives me more stability and support; great for narrow feet.

I was hoping that the Extra Wide - EE - would be wider than the Wide - E, but it isn't. This shoes was too tight in the toes box.

I have purchased this make, model and size several times in the past. This pair is not the same! It is a tighter fit in the toe and almost feels like the wrong size.

I play tennis 3-4 times a week. I have a wide foot, and this shoe always fits, never have to break it in. Only wish the bottom of the shoe lasted longer -- I have to buy about 3 a year.

I love these tennis shoes. They are so comfortable for narrow feet. I have had several pairs, and will continue to order spares since they get discontinued so quickly. I wear them 4-5 times per week and they usually hold up for a season or two.

Why not just order two pairs of shoes when you find ones you like? I should have -- ten years ago. With help from chat person, I found these which are similar (others they don't make anymore). And yes, this time I ordered two pair right away. With policy you can return if not right, there was no reason not to. They were right -- fit great. Only thing is they look so clean, but I'll get used to that. Also, I had a credit sitting for more than the time allotted. When I found it, they cut a check anyway, even though it had expired. How can you fault this company? They go out of their way to make buying shoes pleasant and painless (yeah, most women love to buy shoes, but I'm not a shopper). Painless shopping is good.

The toe bed of these sneakers were very narrow. Didn't look that way in the pic. I ordered a size 10 and my entire foot felt squeezed. Have to return them.

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.

I am a 4.0 tennis player and like these shoes because of the width. I have ordered them repeatedly, and they never seem to need to be broken in. I have to order about four pairs a year because the soles wear out, but I play on hard courts, so that could be the reason. I wish they had different colors to choose from.

These are the absolutely best New Balance shoe that I have buy in a long time. They are extremely comfortable. They are a little tight the first time I tried the shoe on, but after that we became easier to put on.

Excellent stable shoe. This replaces my WC803. I had severe (grade 3) injury and since am more prone to rolling ankle. These keep me moving side-to-side without worry. Recommended for tennis by orthopedist at sports medicine clinic here in San Francisco.

I purchased a size 9N, which is a half size larger than my normal shoe size, and I should have exchanged it for a 9 1/2N. They are short. The width is okay. But the main problem with these shoes is, after only 3 months of using them to play tennis approximately 3 times a week, the soles are completely worn. I actually have a hole in the bottom of the right front sole. I will not buy another pair of these shoes, and I would not recommend them.

These are great...truly wide fit. Very stable. Was having some knee problems until I started wearing these!

Great shoe, but I seemed to have a problem with the width on this style that is all leather with a roll bar. The other pair was another style and fit perfectly.

Perfect fit. Less boxy toe box but plenty of room. Comfortable. Arch support is not what I am accustomed to in New Balance atheletic shoes. Sending back and will look for another style. Giving 3 stars because I can't give five when one of the most essential features is not up to par.

Even though the shipping documents indicate that you shipped a 9, if you look at the actual shoes, they are 9.5. Ineed9's. I a returning these since they do not fit.
