I bought them for about $40 so it was definitely worth it, but for the MSRP it's just a decent price. Not as comfortable as regular $100+ tennis shoes, but you get what you pay for. Minus 1 star for the insole, which rubs very badly on the midsole and can slip. I had to discard it and replace it with insoles from another old pair of shoes. 1 star deduction for the tip. I've never broken a shoelace before, so maybe I should thank New Balance for letting me experience it? Good thing it was towards the end of the session and I didn't play a serious match. I wore the sole down a couple of times a week playing hard court tennis for about 2.5 months. (150-200 hours)
