Customer Reviews New Balance 806 Tennis Shoes

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.

I need a double wide tennis shoe and this is the only New Balance shoe that properly fits my foot. This shoe is heavier and less flexible than some of the other New Balance tennis shoes I have worn in the past. New Balance has redesigned those shoes and they no longer fit my feet. I wish there were more options for double wide tennis shoes.

I am so sorry you have not the wide fit. The last 2 purchase I was not comfortable with the 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 normally wear the fuel cell, but that is not available in my size. So I ordered the same size in this model and it was way too small. Is standardized sizing impossible?

YOUR WW IS NOT A 2E WHICH IS THE WIDTH I NEED. ALSO FOUND TO BLACK SOCKS IN THE TOES OF THE SHOES

My go to shoe for tennis. That's all I nieed to say.

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 know the construction of this shoe is going to make it feel stiff, but it felt like I had boxes on my feet. Returned.

So far, I like it. It fits well. I am hoping that it will hold up.

This used to be my Tennis Shoe and is now my Pickleball Shoe. Great fit and lateral stability! Please continue to make the Wide and Extra Wide!

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.

the 3rd purchase I finally got the right size. I'm still waiting on the refund from the first two purchases through New Balance

These were incredibly narrow in the toe area, almost pointed. Had to return

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 researched for a straight last, light weight leather shoe for tennis that would support optimal foot alignment. I measure as a B width, but the toe box was snug initially. However, with wear the toe box comfort has improved. I recommend this tennis shoe for appearance, comfort and performance.

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.

Great shoes . I have bunions and these are the only shoe I can wear for tennis . I order a wide . I do have a narrow heel and they work great

Would really like to see new balance offer different colored leather in their womens shoes

The 9 is too long and the 8 1/2 my big toe almost hits the edge. Terrible design and cheap piece of garbage. They call it leather! If it's leather, it's the cheapest leather out there because it looks and feels like man made material. I have an older version that used real or "quality" leather.

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

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