New Balance is tried and true for my feet. I have to use orthotics and I can always count on them to have a removable footbed and a well-made comfortable sneaker. I just wish they could make this style look a little sleaker, more fashionable.

I use it for tennis and pickleball. It is an excellent tennis shoe and love the black and fuscia combination. The reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that with my orthopedic insoles my foot is too high and moves up in the heel area even though I tie the laces tight and including the very last hole (located a bit further back). If the shoe did not have that hole it would have been impossible to use. Please make these in women's sizes with wide options!!! I bought the men's shoe because there were no women's black tennis in a wide option. I tried the men's size 7 (8 women's) which fit but was a bit too short in length, the men's 7.5 (9 women's) is too long so I had to put extra plain foam insoles to make the fit snugger. My foot also slid up in the size men's 7. Designs specially for pickleball are urgently need. A higher tennis shoe in the back of the heel and lighter shoe without sacrificing stability would be great.

I use these shoes for pickleball (indoors). I purchased them for the wider toebox which fits well. Laces are a bit short so I replaced them. I alternate two pairs so treads are wearing fine.

This is the most comfortable tennis shoe I've found over the years but the only drawback is the treads don't last long enough. It's worn out in about 2 months

I have a small, wide foot and these are the only court shoes I've found that actually fit great. I love them! The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is the laces were much too short so I had to go buy longer laces.

I would have given this sneaker a 5 for fit, initially... but now I've worn them on the tennis courts about 10 times and they've stretched out a lot, so currently I'm rating them a 4. If they continue to stretch out my rating would be a 3.

I really love the shoes but I ordered my regular size (8.5 women/standard width) and they were too short! My big toe was rubbing against the front of the shoe. I am afraid that during play in the heat of the Florida sun, this would get really uncomfortable. I wish I could exchange them for a size 9 but they are out of stock.

The toe box in the shoe was way too large! I typically need an 8 1/2 AA… But the tolls on the shoe or way too wide

Shoes are perfect for Pickleball (and they come in WIDE!) though I wish there were more color options.

I had a pair of these shoes and liked them enough to buy a second pair. My only complaint is that they feel a little "heavy." I purchased the wide width and I find they are a little long, but not terribly wide. I wear 8 or 8.5 in other shoes, but in this one I was definitely an 8.

The shoe is great and stable for pickleball. They look great. My only hesitancy in giving 5 stars is that they are a bit heavy and have taken awhile to get used to. Otherwise, fit true to size. Company was great to order from, got the shoes in less than a week. Thank you.

This is the best tennis shoe ever for me and I'm difficult to please. I would have given five stars, but I really wanted white which was not available.

I really liked the look and style of these. They had very comfortable padding in the ball of the foot, which was great. Arch support was good, too. However, as much as I liked those features, these shoes ran narrow so much so that my toes were positively cramped. I always wear B/medium width so these run more narrow than typical medium width. If these shoes had run just a bit wider, I would have kept them.

I have an older pair of wide 1006s (for clay) which are on the minimal side but super comfortable. This new 1006 is a nice shoe, with more cushioning than my old one. I wanted to like it as an all-surface shoe but the wide fit does not work with my wide foot and high arches. NB sizing seems to be getting less predictable.

With my custom orthotics, my 10 N fit very nicely. However, these black ones feel stiffer or heavier than my white ones. Is it all in my head or an optical illusion? I've never had black shoes for tennis, but I like the look.

love the narrow fit but, I measured my foot at 26 cm and i verified do I get the nine or go up 1/2 size. iI ordered the 9 at 26 cm and it was to short! My foot was touching end of shoe. If your exactly 26 cm go up 1/2 size.

This is a great shoe for pickleball. It is very supportive. My one concern is the toe box is narrower than I would expect for a wide width shoe.

Still trying to break these shoes in. They are heavier than I would like but wide shoes for women are hard to find. Wish they would come out with more colors...

They fit well....Love the color combo. Only issue was that the shoelaces are too short. And I have a narrow foot, so a surprise. Is it possible to receive a longer pair?
