He circular pivot spot on the soles make for smooth turns and twists. For anyone with "tender" knees or hips this is so important.
Would prefer some colour enhancement to add to the fun.

I use these shoes to play pickleball in. I have flat feet, and they provide support but still keep a low profile on the tread so that I am in no danger of spraining my ankle as I run around the court. I am 58 years old.

From the minute I put these on, my feet felt a difference. I am supported and cushioned and I feel great in them!

Great product, fits comfortably out of the box. Thanks for making a wider width and having it available in Canada! NO ONE else does this, and it is so important! Maybe next you think about making the design/colours/options a little more interesting

I am a tennis player and I have bought this exact pair 4 times as the previous pair wears out.
They have stayed true to size and are very comfortable for my bunions (I purchase wide).
highly recommend

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.

Usually NB sneakers B width works for me. This pair was very narrow

Purchased for pickleball. After about 1/2 hour of play my feet go numb.

These shoes work great on the court. And, I really appreciate that they come in narrows - thank you NB for this! But...would love to see a style update. They don't look amazing.

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.

I've been wearing New Balance tennis shoes and sneakers for over 2 decades. I ordered my regular size but these are too tight and now I can't return them because I wore them on the courts. Don't know if the sizing changed, or my feet changed, but I have always loved the extra support and comfort of New Balance tennis shoes.

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.

Poor SupportGreat Support
I really liked all the ankle support on this shoe, but the ball felt a bit thin and lacking in cushion. I get metatarsal foot pain, so I may be in the minority, but I would have liked more cushion there as well. Performed well on the court and I’m happy I finally broke down and bought a tennis shoe. Performance was better than a running shoe.

I love my new balance shoes. The fit is perfect and I wish they had more varieties in a narrow fit!

I bought these shoes after a recommendation by my physiotherapist as they provide great support which is what I need as I have mobility issues. I had to buy a wide as my feet are sometimes swollen and I sized up from my regular 8 to a 9.

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.

Does a fine job on the Pickleball court. Supportive and no foot pain from Morton's neuroma. I would appreciate a more open toe box instead of the slanted design of this shoe. It's not squishing my toes, but the design seems like it could be better to accommodate a more natural foot shape.
