For tennis, they are great and last a long time - comfortable fit and good support.

I used to wear New Balance to run and play tennis and the shoes were great. I'm happy to see that is still true. I have wider feet and these shoes molded to my feet after a few wears.

They came in a timely fashion and I wore them on the courts for 2 hours of drilling. Very nice! No sore spots.

I expected the shoes to be wider. Not too narrow but not what I expected. May have to re-order the next wider size. Really like the bright pink color and the sole is a good fit for courts.

This is not my first choice. I loved model 840 V4 size 8 xxwide because they were a great fit with my AFO (brace) on my left foot. They had an ideal toe box and width for me with no seams around the toe area and were neutral so not to aggravate my supination. You discontinued this version and went to version 5. The pair of 840V5 that I ordered from you did not seem to fit as well. They were a little snug in the toe. Do you think this could have been just the pair I tried that just were a little different or did you change the mold of the shoe on the V5. the 1006 model i am trying is not as comfortable and the XXwidth is more pronounced on the outer side of my foot and I ordered an 8 1/2 (1/2 size bigger than normal)

Like the shoe, but unfortunately runs small. Normally wear a 10N, but my big toe hit the end in this shoe. Had to return.

I have worn the 806 for years and thought I would try a different model after reading good reviews of this one. The shoe is fine but runs a bit narrow. I'll be returning to 806 next time. If you have wide feet, stick with the 806 wide, not this one. I adjusted the laces to make it work, but I likely won't purchase again.

I fit was a bit smaller than I expected. I normally wear an 8 so I ordered an 8 1/2 to allow to some swelling (being on my feet all day). But, after a few hours of being on I could tell they were not true to size. Also, the tongue on the inside of the shoes by the toe area started digging in my foot. Sadly I have already thrown the boxes away. I know now I shouldn't have but what's done is done. The same goes for the other pair of brown ones I ordered love them both but now I wish I would have gone up a whole size and ordered a 9.

Fit was about 1/2 smaller than what I expected. I typically wear an 8 which is what I ordered. But, tennis shoes I always order 1/2 size bigger to leave room for possible swelling. These shoes fit which I ordered in 8 1/2 fit good but no room for swelling (being on my feet all day). Also where the tongue is on the inside of the shoe at the toe of the shoe cuts into my foot. Sadly I have already gotten rid of the box and any info on how to send them back.

These shoes are tighter around the front of the foot. Perhaps they run small. I'm usually very pleased with NB shoes but not this time.

This tennis shoe is very comfortable and gives me what I want. EXCEPT, the upper portion is fabric. I ended up ordering the blue gray color because I know the white would show every spec of dirt ever. I don't normally play on a clay court but it would be disaster with these shoes. Please offer the all leather court shoe, 806.

I normally wear 7.5 standard width, or 7W. Ordered these first in 7W, and they were too tight in the toe box. Returned and ordered in the 7.5W, Toe box was wide enough at the largest part of my foot, but narrowed too soon in an almond shape that crushed my toes. I loved the color of the Rose Gold and Gray, but sadly, these aren't right for athletes with a wide foot.

Purchased these for pickle ball to replace the New Balance court shoe I am wearing now. Ordered the wide but it was too narrow. I was hoping they would work, maybe will have to order the extra wide.

The toe area tapers and is too shallow for me, although it was better with my own Aetrex insoles. They are good looking, but I decided the all white color in 9.5 N looked too big/clunky on me. I hope to find a colored tennis shoe in my size.

I usually wear an 11N in New Balance shoes. These were too short and appropriately narrow.

I went up a half size as reviewers had suggested and that made the length fine--but they were too wide--all except toward the end of the toe box--and I have a slim/narrow foot.

I bought these for tennis courts. I have had some other New Balance and thought the toe was a bit short so ordered a half size larger. The toe box was still too narrow. I had ordered a medium. My heel is narrow, but front of my foot is a bit wider. These cramped my toes so I sent them back. They may be fine for someone with a true narrow foot.

The replacement New Balance Court Shoes seem to be ok. Not crazy about the colors. I had to lace them up to the second to the last eyelet to keep them from riding up and down on my heels. When I originally purchased them from a golf store outlet I thought they was golf shoes. However, realized later that they are court shoes. I have been wearing the replacement shoes in the house and will now venture out with them for golf. Needless to say, I am not happy with the New Balance Shoes overall. I would have preferred to get my money back and go shopping to replace the defective ones. It has been a long process and hopefully all will work out well. Thanks, Julie P.S. Not to mention your online websites suck. Now I am trying to submit and it won't accept it.

Like the color combination, and the great supportiveness. BUT the odd shape - a bulge out to the outside of the ball of the foot - is unattractive. It must be intended to have a stabilizing function when running, but it just looks weird.
