Customer Reviews New Balance MC786v2

Bought for my husband to wear for indoor Pickleball. Great for a court shoe. Fit true to size. He had found the Asics a bit narrow in he toe box.

My husband liked the shoe a lot. I just wish there was not the big N on the side. I realize the brand want to be noticeable but it's a little too much.

I took up Pickle Ball Recently and was using running shoes. I bought these on recommendation of an experienced player and absolutely love these shoes. They fit right out of the box, no slipping at the heel and the D width was right on. I will definitely buy more New Balance shoes.

Recently bought these as a replacement for the 786 v1 model. Have to say, so far I like these even better. They come in a 4EE, which I seem to need in court shoes. I find them lighter, and providing firmer support. I wanted something other than white, so the color appealed to me, but they are are much bluer than they appear in the photo. One other note, I replace the manufacturer's insole with one of my own, a Scholl's gel for active sports. This is much easier on my knees and feet- recommend this for anyone getting as creaky as I am.

Disappointing choice as this shoe (size 7) was too tight for my husband who normally wears a 7 in New Balance. Have to send it back, thankfully 'free' returns.

My husband is a 10.5 EE in pretty much everything. Ordered a few pairs to try, these were his overall favorite but the toe was too short in the 10.5. Wore his completely broken old shoes until the 11 was back in stock, and they're keepers. They sizing may just be a fluke with this particular shoe.

I am a woman and I order this men's shoe in 4E (extra wide) because the toe box is much wider than women's and more comfortable than the women's shoe. It has good cushioning and support. I hear more complaints on the court about shoes being tight and rubbing, and people should really consider going wider. The 4E is very comfortable, though the width should start a little higher in the design. This is the only brand I have found that has 4E readily available online. Nike does not run true to size with width. Great for pickleball, it provides non-skid and decent grip. I wear thick socks so my feet do not move inside the shoe. I would like to see more mesh designed into the shoe for better air circulation.This shoe wears well, but I do go through several pairs over the course of a year due to the stop and start nature of the game wearing down the sole. I am usually enticed to purchase a new pair of shoes when they send me an email for rewards points. The last shoe was $25 off with reward code and they price matched as well! Great customer service, always pleasant to talk to and they make the transaction go smoothly. Even if someone else has the shoe priced lower, I purchase through Zappos as they meet the price, have a loyalty program and offer best customer service and free returns.

Excellent shoes. Very stable and well made. Have had these for a year.

Had to reorder these for my husband as the size 12 was somewhat snug, but he's happy with the 12 1/2, which we had to wait because they don't get a lot of that size shipped from the manufacturer. But, now he has them and hopefully is happy. And that makes me happy! He needed a lightweight shoe and these seem to fit the bill. Thank you Zappos!

I was a bit worried since I have begun needing a wide shoe that I would order wide but get a standard width and have to return the shoes. I ordered the EE (wide) version of this shoe, and they arrived and fit well out of the box. The width was what I was looking for. I don't feel like I have to break them in. They were comfortable right from the beginning.

My husband needs a lightweight athletic shoe for playing pickleball. We bought him a pair several years ago and were happy to find that we could get another pair just like the first pair. Also, at a bargain price. It's a pleasure doing business with Zappos. Their representatives are so knowledgeable and so very nice!

I am happy with the shoes, but was amazed at the next day delivery since we live in a remote area in northern Idaho!

It's about time I found a wide sneaker for my husband that didn't look like a shoe for an old man. These had such a nice look and good fit that I bought another pair right away.

I have a very flat foot and wore these with sole inserts. That being said, they gave me great support and were wide enough for my overpronation. One drawback was my feet felt so heavy in them which made me move a lot slower on the court. Have since switched to the NB 996 which I love.

They are "OK" and "meh," according to my husband, who is next to impossible to please and wanted a minimalist shoe that wasn't mesh (and not total Dad shoes that the kids would make fun of). He thinks that the inner padding and width of the laces makes his foot look so fat. They're fine, but he says nothing to write home about. These are about the 10th pair that I've ordered to replace his old, blown-out favorite pair that are no longer available, and were the winners among the rejects. Good all-around cross trainer.

Good price for a nice shoe. All around it was fine, but I felt it ran a little narrow and it seemed as though my toes were cramped. I ordered slightly larger than I normally wear, but still did not seem to fit right. Will be returning.

Well made New Balance tennis shoe, but really narrow. Unfortunately, it's heading back to Zappos. Still a happy Zappos customer!
