I had been wearing a pair of NB tennis shoes, size 7 1/2 that fit well. The new pair was both too short and too narrow.

I don’t have much choice with style because of my width and size, this is an awesome shoe. I love style and the comfort. Excellent choice of shoes.

Can't take my running shoes on indoor court, these were a great price for use on indoor courts only, had to put in light orthotics but that is true for all my NB shoes. Light, comfy.

Love, love, love these sneakers for pickleball. Great support and very comfortable. True to size. I wear an 8.5, ordered that and they fit perfectly right out of the box.

I only had them for a week and a half and purchased them to use when playing pickleball. So far I really like them. No breaking-in is necessary and no sore feet at the end of the day.

So glad that New Balance has court shoes. I've always bought your shoes for walking, but now playing a lot of Pickleball. They are comfortable and my feet don't ache after playing.

I bought these New Balance tennis shoes in size 7 and 1/2. I usually wear Brooks but they only make running shoes, not the same sole grip as court shoes. I have bony feet, bunions and narrow heels. These fit perfectly with athletic socks. They were comfortable out of the box, on the pickleball court, and the small bulge on the outside of the sole seemed to add support. I've only worn them once, tried 4 other court shoes also, and these were best for my feet. Didn't think I'd like the colors but, surprise, I do!

Good shoes for the court. Not very cushy inside, but with thick socks they work.
