Customer Reviews New Balance 796v2

I really wanted to like these shoes because there are so few that come wide. It felt more like a medium width. Also, the shoe was so stiff I felt that the break-in process would be too painful. Definitely not worth persuing!

The WW size is more like a W. So not wide enough for my problem feet. Also very stiff and hard on the inner part of shoe. They hurt my feet. Too bad since I’ve been looking for a court shoe. Had to return.

Color is great, comfort is almost there and style is great for me. I have a very high instep (arch) and extremely narrow heel, but over the years my toes and front part of my foot have widened. Also, with playing tennis, I'm mostly on my toes. These are just a tiny tad small at 8.5 but not enough to go with a size 9. I'm totally amazed at how good this NB feels on my feet, so much so that I quickly bought an additional pair (unfortunately another color) before not finding again.

EE did not feel wide enough, felt more like B width. Lately new balance shoes widths are not as true as they used to be. The shoe itself is stylish and a pretty color but has to send back bc it feels too narrow.

Material was too stiff.

These court shoes are a perfect fit and extremely comfortable. I’ve worn them both indoors and outdoors, playing PickleBall, and they give me the support and comfort I need,

Tennis shoes for my daughter with a very square fore foot and extremely difficult to shop for. The 1-star for style is because she doesn't like white sneakers. She preferred the Teal. She is happy with the fit.

I felt this shoe was heavy and the bottom was stiff. The style was so so. I thought the accent color would show up more than it did. Returning due to less than desirable comfort.

very stiff shoe

Attractive but they run much smaller and narrower than the specific size.

These shoes have lasted me years. I am sad that they are not available now when it's finally time for me to replace them. Wish I would've bought several pairs

These shoes feel great! I bought them for racquetball and wear them for everything. I do not like the color of mine that much (light green), but I LOVE the fit and feel, which is more important to me.

Great shoe. Just a little big

Slightly snug at first but quickly loosened a little. New Balance is the only sneaker I don't have to "break in". It's full bore right outta the box!

New Balance wide usually works for me. This shoe was only available in extra wide, so I was concerned it would be too big, but it was actually too narrow.

These shoes have stiff upper material and a more narrow toe box than I’m used to in a New Balance shoe. They pinch my wide feet, especially at the toes. But I like the color and get many compliments.

The shoes were really cute but ran small so I needed to return them

The shoes fit and feel great. But, in a size 12, I felt like I had big blue boats on my feet and was self-conscious => returning. In a slimmer profile shoe, like Summit Unknown or Minimus Trainer, this color would be great.

Very pretty, I really wanted to like them. Other New Balance sneakers I’ve worn fit perfectly, but these were a bit too narrow in the toe box. I had to return them.

Beautiful shoe, but 2 sizes too big! Excellent room in toe box but length was extremely long compared to others shoes in this brand.

Ran quite narrow!! Otherwise fine, but we had to return them.

I have a lot of NB and his is definitely not their normal WW. So disappointed. They feel very stiff too. I should have believed the other reviewers but there wasn’t really any other choices.

Very narrow, and I’m disappointed with New Balance Quality Control In widths in the past year or two. It’s my second pair of NB’s that was far narrower than ever-what happened, NB?

This did not feel like a wide shoe and I think it was because the material was so stiff and "plastic-y" feeling. I do not believe that this shoe is going to breathe and feel comfortable for me.

Couldn't get this pr. on Not sure the issue unless package was miss marked.
