Love the shoe but width is smaller than usual
UPDATE: I got another pair in double wide and they fit perfect. Love them!ORIGINAL REVIEW: I ordered 11 wide, like my other NB tennis shoes, but this one is not as wide as the others. My feet hurt in them. I am hoping they will stretch out a bit soon. They are beautiful though.

Great court shoe!
I play tennis about 5 days a week, and these shoes are great! I usually wear a normal width, but I have to get a wide in this model as it runs a bit narrow. Love this show and would definitely buy again.

Love the shoe But
I love the look and fit of the shoe. However, playing pickleball 3-4 days a week, the tread is wearing out . I guess I just would like something with a bit more durability, but maybe that is asking too much.

Love the fit
I’ve been wearing NB tennis shoes for the past several years now. Many of the same models have changed over the years, so it’s always challenging to find one close to what you wore last year. After trying several different ones, this one fits perfectly, and the greenish blue color with black trim is so attractive, and comfortable right out of the box! 👍

good fitting, solid support in a tennis sneaker
solid support, good fit. Slightly more narrow toe bed. Light feeling

Not even close to an E width
I just don’t understand how New Balance cannot get their widths and sizing right. I have a pair of tennis shoes in D width and they fit, no problem. I ordered E width on these for a lil more room and they are much tighter and shorter than my other pair which are also 5.5 and a D width. THis is about the 3rd pair of New Balance that sizing and width are off. Very annoyed.

Comfortable from first day
These are great shoes. I play pickleball and needed a shoe with a wide toe box… these fit the bill. I’ve paid much more for specialty pickleball shoes… these are much better! No pain on break-in, comfortable from the very first time I wore them. I’ve worn two pair of New Balance shoes and will not buy anything else.

AWFUL Plastic Feel and NOT WIDE AT ALL
For tennis shoes these are a complete let down and it’s too bad really. I have liked the NB brand for years but these are not as expected. I was expected that these would fit my very wide width feet given the sizes and was pleasantly surprised by the price as well but once they arrived and I tried them on I understood why these were so very cheap. They are terrible. They have a very hard, plastic feel to them, and no give or flexibility whatsoever. As for the wide width it’s an utter fail because these were not wide enough at all. What’s odd is that there seems to be a men’s option that look exactly the same and I wondered how they might fit but decided I wouldn’t even bother considering that I didn’t like the fit of these at all. The insole feels like it’s made of cardboard and it may as well be but I suppose at $38 you really get what you pay for. I also sized up thinking that if they did come with crummy insoles (as they did) that I could have extra room to buy some good gel insoles however that hope was dashed the minute I put them on as it was clear they just fit too tight across the bridge of the foot and had no give at all. The entire shoe just feels like you’re sliding on a pair of tight, patent leather shoes and it’s not good at all. It’s sad that NB made these as I don’t think they sold much at all- hence the cheap price and they are cheaply made. You get what you pay for. In the end I opted for not sparing the expense and went to an actual tennis shop to get a fit for the shoe that I needed. While I won’t mention what brand of shoe I ended up buying, I can say that there was not one NB brand shoe in that shop and I think for good reason. NB should probably stick with their walking/running shoe lines.

ME QUEDARON PERFECTOS, MUY COMODOS, LO UNICO MALO ES QUE EN UNO, SE ESTA ABRIENDO UN POCO DE UNA COSTURA DEL FRENTE. FUERA DE ESO ME ENCANTARON
