Review on New Balance 996V3 Court Tennis Shoes for Men: Enhanced Athletic Performance by Pao Novakovic

I've been wearing NB 896's for many years with consistent success so of course they've been discontinued. The same goes for my NB earbuds. In July 2020 I decided to spend some money by increasing the model number to 996. They felt stiff and inflexible at first, but I thought they would loosen up in play. It wasn't until the return window closed that I acknowledged that all the leg pain I'm experiencing is the result of 996s. My legs hurt, even the tops when I wear 996s. Going back to my old 896s has eased the pain in my legs and improved my balance and movement on the court. Wearing the 996 is like playing with clogs with shrapnel on the tongue. I will try the 896 V2 (also discontinued but still in stock) and the V3 hoping they retain the flexibility of the sole and upper of the original, but I will never get my money, time or complaints back . inflicted on me by 996s.
