These are the best Tennis shoes that you can purchase. They are not the cheapest and not the most expensive, but they are the best.
I've been wearing this model of New Balance for years. I've tried other models in the same size (8 1/2 2E) and they do not fit. I find it odd that New Balance sizes are not consistent from model to model. I would probably buy other models and colors if they fit properly.
Have ordered these shoes over many years. The 2e width received in my last purchase is not consistent with all prior shoes ordered and is now narrower than others received.
The NB 806 come in wide sizes plus the leather uppers and thick soles are good for someone like me 6' 1" 195 for wear and no tears. The tread pattern works great on carpet or hard courts. I can also put in inserts in these shoes no problem.
Very challenging to find a WIDE tennis shoe. We have ordered this exact shoe a few times - and it lasts a good season. They are not often in stock, so I decided to try and order very early. I ordered and paid for this pair in November 2021. I'm hoping they will be shipped in Mid April 2022 so I may present them as a birthday gift on April 26th. Good shoe for wide feet - just order e-a-r-l-y in the season.
My feet are so happy, the wide 2E is perfect for my feet. The shoes I had before gave me a callus on my the right side of my small toe knuckle.
For anyone with serious foot issues,(fasciitis, fractured, etc) these are the ultimate shoes if you want to keep playing through the issues.
This is my 5th Model of NB Tennis Shoes . Good products then and now.. The shoe is light and very stable and above all comfortable. Wear life is the remaining question..
This is my third pair of these shoes that I have purchased, the previous purchases being in 2014 and 2013. Each pair has lasted me through the 10 months I play tennis on hard courts (at least 3 times a week). They fit my flat feet very well, and combined with cushioned insoles, they are very comfortable.
Shoes over all are good, but in terms of warranty, the herringbone wears off within about 3 months then your left with flat bottoms. I play tennis three times a week and if the herringbone doesn't last longer why pay the premium for the better shoe. Warranty worthless shoes
My husband needs a wider tennis shoe to accommodate bunions. He's been wearing these New Balance shoes for many years.
