Great reviews on these shoes but they are tight as they use a sleeve instead of a tongue. The lock is magnificent and must be picked before you are comfortable. I had to go half size especially if you use thick Thorlos tennis socks. This is geared more towards speed but still has some support.

Provides excellent support when playing tennis. I didn't really care about the color, but the price I paid was really good, so I didn't mind the color.

These shoes were great for comfort, grip and even style. However, the outsole on one of the shoes started peeling off after just a month of use, playing around once or twice a week. They started falling apart shortly after the return window closed, so I can't say if this is a single fault or if it's likely happening with every pair.

This shoe features a sock-like opening rather than a traditional tongue that makes it impossible to slip your foot through the opening if you have a wide foot or foot of almost any size. It's a shame that such a beautiful shoe was designed so badly, what were the New Balance employees thinking?

Don't buy these shoes. After less than a month of wearing twice a week for paired running shoes, I already have a few holes in the running shoes. For shoes that are positioned as durable, this is unacceptable. I contacted the company and they offered to replace the shoes with a 6 month warranty but did not refund my purchase so I was able to purchase a solid shoe indeed. In the future I will buy Adidas Barricade or Asics Gel Clearance and avoid New Balance.

The shoes came and didn't fit, I ordered the same size as previous orders but these were very tight at the toes. I sent them back because they didn't fit and they charged a $30 restocking fee. I will never order from them again.

This is an extra pair of the same model so I can change shoes. I use them for Pickleball, a tennis game. Great grip but safe to play on the pitch. They are as advertised and of excellent quality.

My husband loves the look of them. He's 13 4e wide and found them a bit narrower than his new Balance Fresh foam but still comfortable. No complaints.

Do not buy! Although the discount is tempting, believe me these are the worst tennis shoes you have ever seen. Too low toe design almost broke my nails in half. Because with every run you inevitably hit the hard plastic in front with your toe and thereby bend your nails. It only lasted three days and I had to freeze my legs with ice to relieve the pain. Sorry for the picture but I just had to show you what they did to my toes.

Widely ordered and still could not put the shoes on. The hole is narrow and sewn to the tongue so that the wide foot does not slip in the shoe. Terrible design!

I love the 996 and 896 heels, but their fit was inconsistent, especially on the more expensive pairs. New fresh foam Lav V! fits perfectly. Was able to jump right into pickleball games for 2 hours and they did a great job.

Bought this shoe to replace a Nike shoe that lasted less than 4 months and played about 5 hours a week. I've been using them for 1 month so can't comment on durability yet, but the shoes seem very reliable. What I can say now is that the shoe is probably the most comfortable tennis shoe I have ever owned. In addition, they are very light and have excellent grip even on sand, and they are marked as hard court shoes. Definitely recommend them to anyone looking for great tennis shoes.

I bought these pumps to play pickleball and they are very comfortable, fit my foot well and look great. Most people ask me where I bought them so they can get a pair. I actually saw them from a guy I play PB with and that's why I bought them!

These shoes are not very good right out of the box. Here are some of the questions. There is no tongue in the shoe and the upper part under the laces is a sock integrated into the shoe. So it's not a shoe you put on quickly. When I finally put them on, there were a few hot spots on the toes of my feet. The shoe is quite snug, but I explained that by ordering the regular width and not the roomy size that New Balance is known for. Despite the bad first impression, I fell in love with these shoes.

The heel-to-toe heel (12mm+) was too big for me to be comfortable with, and large heels tend to exacerbate the hamstringitis I suffer from. I can understand how people like these shoes but they are not for me.

Fantastic looking shoes and great on the tennis court. The cushion looks like you have springs in your shoes with tight ankles and foot support.

Bought 2 pairs for paddling season to wear alternately so they last longer. I play 2-3 times a week and both pairs shot in less than 5 months.

I'm 6'2, 198 pounds and a 5.0 player. I need something with good cushioning to protect my knees and body. These are the best shoes for it. And yes, better than the Asics resolutions I use. Great work NB! It's good to see that NB is no longer a shoe company that only makes white shoes for the elderly. Now they're a "cool" brand again. I highly recommend.

This is my third pair of these shoes. After years of playing Adidas, I developed chronic arch pain. Someone recommended New Balance and the difference was amazing. After 2 days the pain was gone. However, the shoes felt like walking across the court in 2X4 shoes. When they released Fresh Foam I decided to give it a try. They all start tight and hard. but after about 6-7 hours they are put on like gloves and have great cushioning for a shoe sole. I would recommend if you have the patience to…

These shoes really work on the court. They fit perfectly or as close to perfect as possible. I've always felt cramped in most shoes. I ordered a size larger. Not with these 12 widths, they fit great. I very much look forward to buying more shoes from New Balance especially when wide shoes are available. And hey, you can't get better quality than Made in USA. Great gaming shoes
