Customer Reviews New Balance 806 Tennis Shoes

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.

Ordering these shoes THREE DIFFERENT TIMES would be hysterical if it weren't so frustrating! First time, I ordered an 8B but received an 8D (wide); Second time I ordered an 8B but received a 8B left shoe and an 8-1/2D right shoe; the third time I ordered an 8B but received an 8D (the same box I received the first time). Even though Zappos offered a free third pair, it is a useless gesture if I don't receive the size I ordered. Am I asking too much to receive what I ordered?? Can these shoes be shipped from a warehouse that actually has the correct size in stock?!

This is the second order I've placed for these shoes and both times the shoes sent have NOT been the size ordered. The first time they were the wrong width (Wide not Medium), and the second time the left shoe size was correct (8B) and the right shoe was NOT correct (8-1/2D). Don't send this pair of shoes out to another customer!

I did not like these at all. I usually order the Saucony ProGrid Integrity S2, but Zappos was out of stock, so I tried these. I have very wide feet (7 EE), and the toe box on these was tapered and very narrow. My giant feet stretched them out after a bit, so that was not so bad, but then they gave me blisters on my heel, and my heel shredded the back of the shoe. I will never order New Balance again. Zappos had my favorite Sauconys in stock again, so I got them, and my feet are happy once more.

Too much volume within the shoe taking up space where a wide fore foot needed the space.

Stiff sole. Too big in the heel and tight by my toes.

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 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.
