As a national player, I'm very, very picky about my tennis shoes. Not only have I had previous bouts of plantar fasciitis, but I have also had numerous lost/broken toenails. I've tried all the top models from all brands, only this one in 2E really fits my foot perfectly and doesn't break. I use orthotics. You go for greatness. Only problem is you can't find them anymore so I stocked up on a few pairs. The only negative is that I don't really bother with the color choice.

The shoes came in a bag and not the box as expected and appear to be a little used. Yellowish spots are also visible on the edges of the shoes. I'm not sure if it's related to the glue they use or something else, but it really ruined those lovely white shoes. upset.

The fit of the shoe is great, true to size, nice and neat. They appear to be great running shoes and worked well before falling apart. After just a few months of hard court tennis, the outsole in the rear area of the shoe came loose. I tried to contact New Balance on their customer service website to report an issue and have not received a response.

This is one of my favorite tennis shoes. Good comfort, fit, performance and looks (minus that ugly checkered pull up heel). The only other downside is the red/color stains on my white socks. I'm worried that he might switch to other whites after washing. Let's see. Bought at a low price, and then the price went up a lot.
