Comments: Ouch! These were okay for a while, then started digging into my ankle bone. Plus, they smelled bad after a couple hours of play. I'm going back to the 804s!

Comments: I do not like the 656! The sides rub my ankles and I cannot wear them. Please bring back the 655 or older models that I have always worn.

Comments: I concur with Pat, 3/12. I have challenging feet: wide/bunions and older models such as 654 have been the best fit for me. I am hesitant to spend a lot of money to "experiment" with new models.

Comments: I loved my previous pair of New Balance tennis shoes (546). I thought that these were great initially, needing no break-in, but they run wider than the 546s, and I've noticed my feet shifting inside them. I've played in them a few times and because my feet are moving inside them they don't feel all that stable.

Comments: I have been wearing New Balance shoes for years since I have wide feet and do not fit into any other brand. New Balance keeps discontinuing the models that I like so I am forced to try new models, the 656 is awful. They are the first model that I can say I truly hated. My feet were killing me and I got a blister, which I never had before. New Balance, please bring back some of the older models, you will have a lot of happy customers if you do!
