I love the wide option that NB always have. They give my toes room to breathe. Working great for pickleball.

Fits to size. Nice that it comes in narrow width. Supportive fit also.

These shoes are a replacement for a pair that I bought in Sept. 2021. The heel had worn and I was having problems with my hip and back. The new shoes did the trick. My back is feeling much better and my hip pain is almost gone. I guess this goes along with the saying that if everything is not aligned, other parts will be affected. I just turned 80n and these give me stability that I need when walking and exercising. I changed the size from a 9 to 9.5 as my toe was right at the end. These are much more comfortable with the additional length.

Ordering process was quick and easy. The shoe I wanted was in stock. My order shipped quickly, and it arrived when promised. Shoe fits true to form and size. Extremely pleased with this purchase.

I bought these to play pickleball. They are very supportive and are great for pickleball, but took a few wears to break in. I went up a 1/2 size and they fit perfectly. They are very comfortable but do need a break in time. I would definitely buy them again!

Finally found as close as I could to this style of tennis shoe. It is very supportive, I have worn this style for many years. I have tried others, but the softer mesh type tennis shoe is not supportive. This shoe is stiff, the old school thinking of you have to break them in. Personally, I love the shoe.

I thought they would be heavier than usual because there is no mesh but it gives great support and felt very comfortable on the tennis court.

This is the only women court shoe that comes in EE width that I can find. I just purchased my 5th pair of these shoes and they’re comfortable and meet my needs. They hold up for a good while.

I have used this shoe for years playing tennis. I feel that the circle on the bottom of the shoe let's me spin my feet on the court as I changed directions, without ever having a twisted ankle,

I have always worn New Balance to play tennis, a great fit since I have a very narrow heel. In the last 4 years I have had to go up a 1/2 size longer, I think if they are made in China that is the problem with the change in size

The fit was according to the size that I always purchase in a New Balance shoe. The weight felt a little heavy and the shoe was stiff. I think this is because it is a tennis court shoe. I need a shoe for walking and general fitness workouts. The shoes have been returned.

I was looking for a new pair of walking shoes. I discovered, after trying them on, that they are meant for tennis courts wear. I don't play tennis and felt that these shoes seemed heavier than running/walking shoes. The sole is different from a walking shoe, too. I had to send them back and order a replacement/exchange for a running shoe. I watched the video of the tennis shoe and nothing was mentioned about it being for tennis. Disappointed in that.

New Balance are the only athletic shoes that fits my narrow feet.

These are the most comfortable court shoes I have ever worn. The narrow width keeps my foot from sliding around and keeps me stable on my feet. No break in needed. No hot spots. I normally wear an 8 in most shoes and a 9 in all gym/ tennis shoes. The 9 is perfect and allows a thicker sock to cushion my feet. I highly recommend these shoes.

This is a great tennis shoe for mature hurting feet. I got a half size bigger and a wide and it took care of my sore feet problems. Bought another pair as a spare.

I swear as I have gotten older my feet have changed and I now wear a size 8 Narrow. That is what I bought and they fit perfectly. I wear for my mixed cardio and Zumba workouts. Felt comfortable the very first day. Love them.

Bought these for my son whom is severely overweight and up until now has been sedentary. He started working cleaning movie theaters and his feet hurt every day to the point I was worried he would quit his job and give up. These have provided so much relief to him! They fit well, look stylish, and he prefers to wear these over his other shoes. Thank you, Brooks, for the Beast '20!
