This is my 3rd pair of these New Balance. I use New Balance because they cater to people with wide feet. Those of you who use New Balance know they have a 6 month sole warranty. I’m a bigger guy so they wear out quick. The great thing is that you basically get 2 pairs for the price of one. Now I normally order from Tennis Warehouse but they were out of stock so I searched Amazon and found that Zappos was selling them on here. So I ordered them. Of course the soles wore out as they do so I sent a message through Amazon asking how I send them back in. And here is where Zappos gained a customer for life; Zappos responded letting me know that it was beyond the Amazon return date. What I didn’t know was Zappos has a 365 day warranty is you order from them! They refunded me my money and I will be ordering directly from them directly! As should you! Read more

Wore for grocery shopping yesterday to stretch out and adjust, then wore today for 2 hours of tennis on clay. Initial positive impression. EE seems like a true EE, not the sometimes too narrow EE coming out of New Balance. I wear ankle supports for tennis and even with these and two pair of socks had plenty of room both in width and depth of heel, felt very secure but not cramped. Cushiony but supportive, not soft or sloppy, Some reviewers report these are a little heavy but I did not find them noticeably heavier than my 1005s which were considered lightweight. Feet felt good even after two hours on court. These are comfortable enough that I even wore them home from tennis, instead of switching to cushiony NB running shoes like I usually do. Only dig on these is not a performance issue but an appearance one. The mesh gets a little damp if you sweat much, and on clay the mesh seemed to absorb the dust like crazy, so the shoes now look two tone, black where they are rubber, and grey where they are mesh. I don't care about this, but if you play on clay you might want to be prepared for sort of a two tone shoe. Assuming no problems like early failure or quick wear soles pops up, I expect to bump this up to a 5 star in a few months. Solid, good fitting, supportive shoe for tennis. Read more

Feels great on my foot and provides ample support. Happy with the wear and durability so far. Would order wide instead of extra wide next time. Read more

These fit really well I wear them to all sorts of occasions. Very good fit and very well designed. Will buy them again. Read more

Typical New Balance tennis shoe, they fit (if ordering the right size) without breaking in needed.They are very comfortable. I have a wide foot so extra large is a must. They lasted me more than a year and a half as a weekend warrior .Of course it depends on the way one plays on the court. There is an issue with the sole which collapses a bit at the heal area and also some of the white material ( plastic?) changes color from white to yellow after washing, on the white shoes. They are the best shoes for me and I just ordered my third pair of this model but it will be black this time.I hope my feet will not bake in them in the hot Phoenix summer sun. Lol. They are going to be my first black tennis shoes.Have fun! I just got them .Black, they look great, kind of ominous, like I mean serious business on the court.. lol..No surprises, they fit like a glove just like the others . A bit pricey but I am kind of hooked to this model and cannot go back to cheaper models. As long as New Balance does not change things for the worse I am not even going to look elsewhere .Some reviews talk about New Balance messing up with the shoe sizes.I have been using New Balance for more than 6 years and the sizes stayed the same , I never had to adjust to a new size.At least that has been my experience.
