Customer Reviews New Balance 796v3

It’s surprising how hard it is to find great pickleball shoes! By far the world fastest growing sport…are y’all listening shoe manufacturer’s! I see hundreds of people a week and this topic comes up so often. There either uncomfortable, wear out in a couple months, or ugly! Sometimes all 3. These were both uncomfortable and ugly. Not sure how they’ll last but I kept one pair as I was desperate for a pair with a wide toe box, and these fit the bill. I will report back in a few months. The uncomfortable part is because they have zero padding or arch support. I had to buy a $45 pair of inserts to make them tolerable. Also, the front of the shoes curves up slightly which is just plain odd, and certainly doesn’t help anything. have tried about 10 different shoes at this point, and yet to find a winner…and these aren’t it.

The sneakers felt narrower than other New Balance sneakers.

Great fit from the first step. I purchased them for pickleball.

As a new pickle ball player, I realized I needed extra support for my heels. There are few choices for wide widths, but these fit the bill. Great heel stabilization and the width is good for my bunions. New Balance (which was the only choice for a wide width) delivered!

I ordered a size 9, wide width and I do not believe they are wide. The box says wide, but the size on the tongue does not. The style does not represent Zappos usual quality. I am returning them.

Perfect shoe… great ankle support especially when you lace them up using the extra 2 upper holes. My Pickleball Game has improved since wearing them. Great color ..Heritage Blue.

Perfect fit I wear a 10/1/2 wide .

Love these for pickleball! I have a wide foot and the wide width was perfect. Good arch support.

These New Balance have boosted my tennis game by an order of magnitude. I don't have the expertise to explain why but they seem to keep me stable and planted on the court when I need to be and ready to move and hustle when I need to. I'm speaking as a middle aged person, lol, so they may not be designed for the more nimble players. But probably if you're shopping New Balance, you're looking for that steady-as-she-goes support more than anything and these provide it. Plus the color is the most beautiful blue of any sneakers I've had. I'm going to order another pair to have lest these disappear in the future when I need them most.

I use these shoes for indoor tennis (hard court). My favorite part is that they’re super light and flexible compared to my other clunky tennis shoes. Roomy toe box too. I have plantar fasciitis so switch out insoles for more support. For reference I usually wear Wilson’s.

I already bought one pair of these and liked them so much I bought a second pair.

great fit! Being that they are tennis shoes I had to size up for the running on the court. Love them. Very comfortable and very light.

I've had these for about 3 months now and I love them. They were very comfortable when I first got them & they still are. I think they fit true to size.

New Balance always delivers in terms of toe space and comfort, and these shoes look good as well.

Love these shoes! I am usually between a 7.5 and 8. The 8 fit great. Good grip on the courts! Loved them.

The size is true to fit. I have ordered other New Balance shoes and have been happy with New Balance shoes.

This is a really cute shoe, but I'm actually surprised that the shoe fits pretty narrow for New Balance. I have wide feet with fallen arches, so New balance is normally my go-to brand for durable shoes. My left foot tends to be my problem foot, and I have noticed when wearing these shoes, the middle to upper part of my foot is squeezed throughout the day, and it starts to ache by the end of the day. .

Fits well, although tight around my bunions causing my feet to get numb. Will try to stretch them.

I just tried them on briefly. Support was really good and they were not bad looking. VERY lightweight! A little too narrow for me, even at WW.

So lightweight
