Customer Reviews
So stiffI have a wide foot, so my shoe choices are really limited. The New Balance shoes always look so dope, and I love the color ways. This is the third time I have tried a pair of NB shoes and they kill my feet. Wear the my toes bend, it always feels so stiff, to the point that even walking in my living room trying the shoes on, hurts my feet.
ShoesI have 12 pair of New Balance shoes and this pair is as comfortable as my most favorite pair. Very light and gives exceptional support!
Wide, comfortable and good looking.Great option if you are looking for a wide and comfortable shoe. It is low to the ground so it lacks a bit of support but it compensates by being very comfortable and light enough to move quickly around the court with confidence.
New Balance MC696 - solid and comfortableThese shoes were great right out of the box. I bought the 2E width because of my duck feet, and they fit perfectly. Surprisingly, I never thought about having new shoes the entire time I started playing, which means that they had to be comfortable. I’ll definitely buy them again.
Great sneakersFor the price you cannot beat these sneakers for under $100 extremely comfortable where well light and I'm using them for pickleball I would highly recommend them a matter of fact I bought a second pair
NB shoesGreat looking shoe, but the construction has a little bit of a flat, thin feel rather than a thick support feel and it runs a full size smaller than listed. I ordered 13 and had to send it back and get a 14, but it was a great price, and the shoe is very comfortable and no problems on the court with movements or support.
Highly ComfortableShoe is very comfortable no breaking in needed.
Excellent cushioningVery pleased with the cushioning and traction. Really liked how I could run the laces in two different spots on the tongue of the shoe. It kept the tongue from sliding around during my match. And it is a light shoe. The only knock is that it is a little difficult to get on, but not real bad. For the price, if I can get 6 months out of it, I will definitely get another pair.
Comfortable shoeNo complaints here. Comfortable, good looking shoes. Seem to last.
Toe box ripsThe toe box has worn out in less than two months of use.
