I love these shoes and they are even better now that they are being made a bit lighter weight.

They are a bit tight on my right foot around the toe area but I'm sure that will improve with wear.

I have nerve damage in my foot and leg and these shoes have allowed me to play tennis after being out of the game for a year. The support and stability is amazing! They were comfortable right out of the box.

Provides the support and stability I need on the Pickleball court. I tried other court shoes, but went back to the 806s. I ordered a half size up from my usual size.

This product is great and I keep buying this product. Disappointed this year, I had an injury in my right ankle so now I need 2 different size sneakers for each foot. They will not let me return the unused because of Covid.

I wear my New Balance shoes for work. I do a lot of standing and walking. My feet are comfortable.

This is the second time I have purchased these tennis shoes because they are such a good fit and add stability on all court surfaces.

I am so happy that I took the plunge and ordered my shoes on-line. My runners came on time and exactly as expected. I will definitely be ordering another pair on-line.

These 806 tennis shoes are the best I've had for two reasons: they come in narrow (a Godsend for me), and they are leather which gives me great
support. This is my 4th pair, and I will do more, unless New Balance changes them in a way that does not work for me any longer.

I have bought these 3 times now for use on both indoor & outdoor pickleball courts where must wear a non-marking shoe. I love them as they are also one of few court shoes that come in a wide fit. They have never hurt my feet even when played in them for the first time.
I will keep buying them as well priced and last a year for me on harder outdoor courts.

Fit is perfect. Needed a pair of shoes for pickle ball, and these seem great. Looking forward to using them soon.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks for running shoes

There are very few court shoes for women available in D width. These fit great, were comfortable and did not feel too heavy.

I have wide feet. Got a half a size down from my running shoe size. Perfect fit. Not as cute as running shoes, but these are tennis shoes, after all.

I love these tennis shoes and have been wearing them for years. I have a wide toe base and a narrow heel and these are the only shoes I have been able to wear. I buy at least one pair a year but generally two pair as I play tennis A LOT.

I use these shoes for pickleball with an insert, and they provide the necessary cushion/support for my 61 year old feet. The K Swiss wides that I have are more flexible in the toe box, but they don't provide enough support and have already worn down after only having them for 3 months. After the initial blister on my pinky toe, I'm good to go in these!

I have been purchasing this model from NB for a few years. It is sturdy and comfortable and fits my wide foot quite well. And the inserts as well.
Have had no problems with having to size up.

I love New Balance tennis shoes because they have sizes in wide. I've always ordered wide NB tennis shoes, but now at 73 I need NB "extra wide" and that's what I ordered, received, and am so happy I ordered another pair!

Well, they're not the most attractive sneakers, kind of look like concrete blocks on my feet, but they look good enough. The important thing is, they are the best and only sneaker I've worn for years on the tennis court that support my feet when I have plantar fasciitis which I tend to get every couple of years. I can still play through it until it gets better with these supportive sneakers
