Customer Reviews New Balance 696v4

I have very wide feet and it's hard to find brands that carry 2x wide. I was suffering from plantar fasciitis from wearing normal width shoes. Once I switched to these, the pain had subsided. I was a former tennis, who just discovered pickleball. I haven't played tennis in 19 years. When I did play tennis, I played for about 11 years ( 1993-2004). These New Balance tennis shoes were comfortable and light compared to the tennis shoes I've worn in the past, whenever I played tennis. I use these shoes for pickleball. These shoes have a good grip and great stability for moving side to side. They do look like an old man's shoes, but I guess it's function over fashion. I'd buy these again, but hope they would make it more sleek or a "younger" version of it.

I purchased this model for two reasons. First, I like how NB shoes fit my feet, which are standard D width but other models fit narrow. Second, I needed court shoes since I picked up Pickleball this year!

Bought a wide. Fits great. Nice for tennis and Pickleball

I'm very pleased with my purchase. The shoe is lightweight yet still has solid cushioning and support, including all important lateral mobility. I especially like how light the shoe is; helps prevent excessive fatigue late in a match in the summer heat and humidity.

I bought these shoes for pickle ball and they are perfect.

Love this shoe very good shoe for the price would buy again

These are great tennis shoes very comfortable very responsive on the tennis court exactly what I wanted. I liked the wide shoe size.

bought court shoe to play pickleball, great fit, and comfort and grips the court well.

This is one of the most comfortable court shoes I have worn playing tennis ofr nearly sixty years. It also provides stability and traction on the hard courts I play on now.

I have always liked the New Balance shoe. This one is a little different and yet has the same value.

I play pickle ball 4-5 times a week. I resisted buying shoes online because sometimes I'm a 10.5 and other times a 11 size. I could not find a suitable sneaker locally in the stores and decided to buy these online. I am very happy with the fit, lightness and secure footing. I will buy these sneakers again.

A tennis shoe has a lover profile which I'm looking for. As my size, 7.5 X4E is hard to find, this is my go-to sneaker. I've purchased four times, about every six months, always to have unopened ones on hand. You know, a guy has to look good.

I have bunions and the wide shoe and toebox are perfect. Very happy

Great fit. True to size and light weight. I also like the looks.

Playing pickleball great for stop start and direction changes

These are well made and have a wide sole for balance. Very pleased with the construction and fit.

This is a very comfortable and stable hard court shoe. Works really well for Pickleball.

These are my husband's favorite court shoes for pickleball! Several of his friends love them as well, sadly we believe they are no longer going to be available. The are great because they come in a wide width and are so comfortable. We bought 5 pairs for my husband to have as back ups in case they disappear
