Review on New Balance πŸ‘Ÿ Men's Impulse Court Tennis Shoes by Adam Webbie

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Completely changed from V3

I wore the 696v3 to pickleball games for a couple of years. This is one of the best tennis shoes I have ever owned. I figured I could order a new pair online without any problems knowing the size and fit. However, the new V4 models are completely redesigned and terribly uncomfortable and too small. I usually wear a size 9.5 but the V3s that fit perfectly are a size 10. The newer V4s are a size 10 and are too small. Recently in a store with other New Balance shoes, it turned out that a size 9.5 was too big. So it looks like you can't expect anything remotely consistent with New Balance. The 696 went from the best to one of the worst shoes I've ever tried on with a version update. Very disappointing!

Pros
  • These are my son's favorite shoes! He said they are very comfortable and he likes the way they look.
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for players who require a more flexible sole construction.
