I’ve been playing pickleball for six months and noticed worsening knee pain in my left medial knee. Despite weight loss, muscle strengthening, and rest, the pain persists after two hours of play. I bought this shoe for its promised comfort and it has significantly helped. I usually wear a size 12, medium width casual shoe without issues, but for tennis and pickleball, I prefer wide options. New Balance shoes are usually too long, so I usually size down half a size. I tried a 12 2E size, but the 11.5 2E would’ve been perfect. There’s a slight sliding, so I need to be more careful with my socks. Overall, it’s a great option for increased comfort.

Have a wide foot and have bought New Balance 2E for years. Was very disappointed that this style as well as the 806 now run narrower than the old styles. Was able to buy a pair of 1007 that still fit right. Will be very disappointed if I can no longer trust New Balance sizing.

New Balance Fresh Foam provides great support and comfort for everyday or a few times a week playing. Love the color combinations the brand does!

Got plantar fasciitis a month back wearing other branded shoes, doc suggested I get a pair of more cushioned shoes to protect my feet. These are exactly what I'm looking for. They are soft enough to protect my injury from worsening yet bouncy enough for quick running on the court.

Great fit and comfort. Feel stable on the court.
