These are soft, comfortable, stable, nice looking court shoes. I purchased the grey with rose gold accent in wide. Nice color; more of a grey/metal blue. The toe shape at first looks/feels slightly large but it is actually very comfortable without sacrificing support. When tried the next size down, toes were too close to the end and would have hit while during stops when playing tennis. NB also continues to make wide sizes which is much appreciated. These shoes have a below neutral arch support. If you have a neutral to low arch and don’t need more aggressive arch support these are great. I wanted them to work however needed more pronounced arch support/stability for pronation so knee doesn’t suffer.

I am thrilled with these shoes. They are a good fit for my narrow feet and the heel is snug as needed. (It is difficult for me to find shoes that fit in the heel. New Balance is my "go to" brand.) Like the gray color as compared with some of the weird colors currently on the market. Color coordinates with all my pants. Thank you, Zappo's!

First pair was comfortable from day 1 throughout the day I reluctantly thew them out because my bunion popped through the leather. Got a second pair and they feel great on and off court.

I wear these for tennis - they are by far the most comfortable court shoe I have ever worn and this is my 2nd pair and I just ordered a 3rd pair in another color. these combined with a Thorlo sock saved my feet from all the pounding on the tennis court.

It is very hard to find a tennis shoe for my narrow foot. I usually wear either a 91/2 or 10 narrow shoe and the size 10 Narrow fit me perfectly in the NB 1006. Note, I prefer to wear a thin or no sock at all with my tennis shoes.The heel was nice and snug. The toe box needed a bit of breaking in but after wearing them inside and walking around for a few hours they adjusted fine. The cushioning on court is good and the sole doesn't stick on the indoor court surface(this has been a problem for me and I have fallen , so this is important to me). The grey color is very nice with a subtle trim color.I recommend this style for women needing a narrow width.

Love that NB shoes come in various widths. I'd been looking for tennis sneakers with the cushion of a running shoe for a long time. This is my third purchase of the 1006 and the second iteration. Don't change a thing!

I bought these tennis shoes for the purpose of wearing them when I play pickle ball. Haven't tried them on an outside court, but inside they are great!

This is the only pair of tennis shoes I like to wear because of the very soft cushioning. The shoe is very flexible and durable. I am a toe dragger and this shoe helps protect my toes from wearing out too quickly. I love the black and pink version. The price is worth the shoe by far! It wears a little narrow at first, but after a few hours of breaking in the shoe, it fits wonderfully.

I really liked the fit. It's definitely snug in the toe box but I prefer that. It's not too tight and my feet don't slide around. They are perfect for tennis.

Couldn't take care of my hose anymore. So I moved to a Senior Apartment Complex. One of the things I thought I would have to give up my gardening, but I can still grow my tomatoes! There are several garden plots just south of the property that you can sign up to use. I was so happy when I saw the garden plots on my tour of the facility.

I find most court shoes to be uncomfortable. These are much more flexible and comfy. . I use them for both indoor and outdoor Pickleball. Tread is perfect. Bought a second pair in case they are are discontinued.

I was nervous about this redesign based on other reviews, but these feel great on, and the style, while still not awesome, is a big upgrade.

Love, love this tennis sneaker. This is my 2nd pair; the first pair discovered in tennis shop. I need a wide shoe and comfort important during a match. I don't want to be distracted by aching feet while playing. These shoes do not need a break-in period. Slip them out of the box onto your feet and you are good to go. They are supportive and allow lateral movement with no stress on ankles. I'm done enduring blisters and chafing until shoe confirms to my feet when I've purchased other brands. This even when measured, wide and in correct size. I recommend these tennis sneakers to maintain happy feet on the tennis court.

The 1006 fit my wide, bunioned feet. This is my second pair. They do start out a bit stiff but my first pair has been great. The toe box is deep enough for my orthopedic inserts and toe spacers.

I love this tennis shoe. I bought a white pair to replace my 1005. (I need a wide shoe). They are better than the 1005s! They are less "gomey" and more fashionable! They are a high quality shoe to withstand the wear and tear of clay and hardcourt play and matches! I liked them so much, I purchased a second pair in black!

These shoes are great for Zumba. I spend 5 hours a week in the gym and these shoes are so much more versatile than a running shoe which tends to grip the floor. Plus they are available in narrow. From now on it is court shoes for me!

Nice, comfortable shoes. I have the wide shoes which provide plenty of room in the toe box.
