Customer Reviews New Balance Fuel Cell 996v4.5

I love these shoes this is my third pair. The other two are the dark purple ones. They've been great for playing pickleball. My only wish is they they were more readily available in all colors and sizes. Very hard to come by.

Love everything about these shoes from the color to the foot support!!!

I've worn NB tennis sneakers for many, many years and have always loved them. These are my all time favorites and I've reordered many pairs over and over again. My size always seems to sell out first so I'll tend to have to wait for the next restock. I'm hoping for something colorful and fun for spring/summer.

The fit is perfect and I love how cushiony they are!

This shoes are great to play tennis. For beginners and advanced players. For wide feet people like me, excellent the option to choose "wide".

I wear these for pickleball. It's my fourth attempt at finding a shoe that fits and offers both stability and flexibility. I normally wear a 9 B in NB running shoes. I ordered a 9D in these because they are a more structured shoe. Not all mesh. Fit beautifully. I wish they had a better color choice.

They felt great when she put them on and looked fabulous. After about 15 mins of play, she couldn't wear them any longer. Her feet were killing her. I feel like this review isn't fair because she has feet issues, but NB really wanted my review so there you go.

I play pickleball and my shoes wear out fast. I bought these because of the 6 month warranty on the soles. They are comfortable. True to size and the tongue doesn't slip. They are quite grippy at first but settle in nicely. The toe box bottom is wide but doesn't get in the way of lateral movement. I love them.

I have been searching for years for a comfortable shoe for tennis. I finally found it. I have a wider foot and this shoe can be ordered in wide. I ended up with regular width, it was nice and roomy. These shoes are so comfortable. I play tennis everyday and my feet are never sore afterwards

I'm a tennis player. Having a wide toebox and a narrow heel is paramount to comfort and function. Got it!!! Oh, and pretty, too! Lots of compliments.

I ordered half size up. They fit perfectly and very comfortably.

Great colors that grabs a lot of complements. I tried them out on the practice court last week for 5 hours straight and I never thought I was breaking in a new pair. Lightweight and strong traction for hard court.

One red; one gray. Oh, my, what looks they do receive! The fit is true to size.

Styling and sizing were spot on, including width. (I always order a Wide in women's). But I found this style very stiff and lacking in cushioning and support. Returning.

I needed another pair of court shoes. I like color because the dirt doesn't show as much because of use. I only wear on the court. They are comfortable but pricey.

I don't usually have to buy wide shoes. Sending these back because they are too narrow. Super disappointed. There are no selections for 8.5 W shoes. Going to have to have to go to a different brand.

I love everything about this shoe other than how quickly the outer sole wears out. I play pickleball 9 hours a week.

great for stability and court feel and isnt a condescending old lady shoe as it seems manufacturers assume D width must be. but whats with these 2 colours?? grim. cant pay full price for this mess.

These shoes are very stylish And pretty comfortable. I'm glad I got a half a size larger than what I normally wear. The support and stability feels perfect for sliding, running and stopping-typical Court play. My only drawback is there is a ridge that runs from the tongue up to the out side of the shoe and it rubs my pinky toe and side of my foot.

I love New Balance shoes but these were not for me. They were tight on my feet and made my feet toe in.

1st pair of NB tennis shoes Ive needed to break in
