Comments: It fits a little looser than other New Balance models I've tried (820, 652, 801, 1002). I'm now wearing two pairs of socks to keep them snug.

Comments: I tried the Prince MC4 but started getting bad shin splints. I switched about 3 months ago to the 803 at a friend's recommendation and have not had a problem since. Great shoe!

Comments: This is a great shoe for players with weak ankles. Plenty of stability. However,
there is one caveat about this shoe. I wear my shoes out in the heels. This model shoe has only 1/4 inch of rubber in the heel. In a very short time you will wear through the 1/4 inch rubber onto hard plastic, while the rest of the shoe hardly show any wear. Very poor design.

Comments: Shoes wore very well and were comfortable except that they were hot.

Comments: This is the best shoe on the market for someone with Plantar Faciitis. Supports the arch and heel without sacrificing cushioning. Its almost like having a built in orthotic. The key to getting the most out of the shoe is to find your perfect NB fit. Too bad TW doesn't carry the B widths, which fit similar to a Nike. This is really a great shoe!

Comments: Tried Nike Cage and Adidas Barricade IV and I did not like them. I found they were too narrow and very tight. Both the Nike Cage and Adidas Barricade IV are very overrated! The New Balance 803 are very comfortable and offer a lot of support and traction as well as a normal, good looking shoe. My toes are a little wider so these shoes worked very well. I normally wear a size 11 but in these the 10.5 were perfect. I went with the med. width. Took 2 hours to break in. NICE SHOE! Would buy again. Great price from Tennis warehouse.

Comments: I think it's the best shoe ever made for people with an arched foot. It's a great improvement from the already great 802, this time with added cushion for when on hard-court, but still the good track for clay.
