I wanted these shoes to work. I have a narrow foot with longish toes so hoped that the 8.5 AA would fit. And it does...except that the sides of the shoes hit my ankle bones and I ended up with bruises. By the way, this shoe most definitely runs short. I wear 7.5 in street shoes, and 8 in running shoes but had to get the 8.5 for this pair.

Great shoe for narrow feet. It was the only pair of tennis shoes that fit properly. They are light weight and comfortable. I wear either an 8 1/2N or 9N. I got the 9N and they are great. The 8 1/2 would have been too short.

I have these in another color, so knew they would fit. They’re true to size for me (6-1/2 Medium). A little narrower in the toe box (but still comfortable & have room to wiggle my toes) than previous NB model I wore, but those were running shoes. I wanted tennis shoes with more ankle support & stability for pickleball, which involves more side-to-side as opposed to forward movement for running. So far, these are very comfortable & supportive & my feet are happy. I don’t usually buy shoes without trying them on, because my feet are picky & unforgiving.

The last two times i ordered tennis shoes from New Balance, due to the width of my feet, i was disappointed - they were all too narrow even though they were wide width. These are awesome!! The fit is perfect and I am so excited to get them on the court!

I was misled by reviews that suggested one order up 1/2 size, so I did, and the were too big so I will order in my usual size

Ordered in the 2A. I have problem feet and this shoe is very comfortable. It is the only tennis shoe brand that comes in narrow. It's light weight and flexible unlike the WC806 I am used to wearing. My teenage daughter liked the Nike Zoom Vapor 9.5 Tourstyle better and did not like the look of this shoe. I have to agree the Nike is nicer looking and their B width typically runs more narrow.
I'd also recommend:
Nike Zoom Vapor 9.5 Tour, Nike Air Vapor Advantage, New Balance WC1005 and

This shoe is one of the most comfortable athletic shoes I've ever worn. I bought them for the look. I don't play tennis, but don't mind learning now.

Width (wide) and length fit well. I am wearing when I play pickleball. I wish the other color in the same style fit the same way. I had to return the same size because they were too narrow.

I play tennis and always order New Balance shoes. They fit me perfectly and are always comfortable right out of the box. I wear a 7 M in regular shoes and always order a 7 1/2 in New Balance to give my toes plenty of room for the stops and slides of tennis.

The laces are too short for lacing the last hole which makes for a looser fit

Such a very cute shoe length was right,toe box is very shallow unable to put any orthotics in is the soul does not remove and there wouldn't be room anyway.

I love the look of the shoe. It is very seldom that I can find cute tennis shoes in narrow, and this one is very cute. But, it is also very flat in the ball of your foot. There is no padding, just the rubber sole. The shoes are comfortable, and are narrow. If you are only playing tennis occasionally, these shoes may be perfect for the narrow foot. I am returning them for the other style NB tennis shoes. They are much more padded throughout, just not as cute.

I love New Balance sneakers because I have a very narrow foot. I normally wear a 7.5 N but I ordered up to an 8 and they are too short. I sent them back today.

I hate this redesign. I have worn 1005 for years and they have been great. This shoe hurts my feet/toes and is pancake flat. I am returning.

A little long (and I do wear this size in New Balance, but I can live with that so I'm gonna keep these because a Narrow court shoe is hard to find.

This is my favorite shoe. This is your only shoe in AA which I need but I prefer the gray or the black shoe in this style shoe, New Balance did not have any other shoe but white available.

I love these shoes. They are very comfortable and cushiony. I have a lot of problems with the ball of my feet and lack of fat pad, and these help quite a bit.

Bought these for my wife. Excellent for the side-to-side and forward-to-backward movement on the Pickleball court.
