My new favorite tennis shoes!

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

I have finally found the perfect tennis shoe for me. I have wide feet without much of an arch, and most shoes I’ve tried are too narrow and/or too heavy. These are not. I play tennis at least once a week on hard courts and recently developed heel pain. Since I started wearing these, the pain is not nearly as bad. I’ve only had them a month, but I’ve noticed a big difference. They’re lightweight and have a wider toe area than most shoes I’ve tried. And the best part is they were only $51! I’m used to spending a lot more for tennis shoes. I may have to buy another pair in case NB discontinues them. I love these shoes!!

I have problems with swelling in my feet and they are wide! I have anxiety about ordering shoes online. I can fit literally TWO brands. These came better than expected. NB has always fit my wide foot but with the swelling issues the top of my foot needed room. These fit soooooo good! And also have PF in my foot. It hasn’t bothered me since wearing there. I work in a warehouse and can walk comfortable. They are a tad bigger than expected clearly so maybe order a half size down. I like the room for me tho.

Cute Comfort

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2019

Size: 12 D USColor: Oxblood/Vivid CoralVerified Purchase

I ordered these shoes for my daughter. She liked the look of these shoes and they seemed like they would be comfortable. She is a tall girl and has y’all girl problems- larger feet. I ordered a size 12 regular width at first. She usually doesn’t require a wide width. She said these shoes were too snug in the instep area. However, the length of the shoe was appropriate. I ended up sending the shoes back and ordering a size 12 wide. Typically New Balance is wide enough and long enough, but these didn’t meet that usual standard. I would still recommend. The shoe is cute, well-made, and not too stiff.

Aesthetically a good looking sneaker. Appeared to be a good value. Sturdy ankle support and thick leather to keep from wearing out too quickly. I bought these shoes for indoor pickle ball. Needed a court shoe for inside or out. Bought a half size larger to ensure room to keep big toe from hitting the front of the shoe when stopping and starting and changing direction. But both my big toes keep jamming into the front. Very painful. There isn't an extra lace hole up by the ankle to keep your foot from sliding forward in the shoe. Patiently trying to break them in with memory foam in front to protect my toes. Wouldn't buy them again.

The worst shoes I've ever had

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

I always wear size 7. Sometimes I buy 7.5 at Nike and NB. These were extremely small so I got them replaced and got them in size 8. They were a little too wide but I needed a new pair of tennis shoes so I decided to give them a try. I hope I didn't: I got my toenails broken on both feet and since it happened during the game and I couldn't see what was going on there I kept playing ( I just thought that I was feeling pain because the shoes were new and they needed a little bit of breaking in); after the game I couldn't feel the toes and now I don't know how soon I will be able to play again. So disappointed and frustrated.

I give the New Balance Women's 696v3 a five star

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2018

Size: 95 D USColor: Pigment/Vivid CoralVerified Purchase

I wear orthotics because I have flat and wide feet. It is difficult to find sneakers to fit. These New Balance Women's 696v3 Tennis Shoe are one of the best sneakers I have worn. In order to fit my orthotics in, I have to remove the liner,but there is still sufficient cushioning for my feet. I liked the New Balance WC806, but they were too heavy to play in. Also, the New Balance 696V lack the cushioning, and I could barely ge tmy orthotics into the sneaker.

Uncomfortable toe

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

The shoe seems to be made of average quality for the price, I didn't expect superior quality since it's not a $100+ shoe. I only play tennis once a week (and not competitively). The support around the foot and ankle were good for tennis. I am a true size 6.5, slightly athletic build, and a slightly wider than average foot. The shoe length and width fit well, but the toe of the shoe was super uncomfortable. With just a light jog and stop to return balls, I could feel the discomfort at the toe of the shoe. So, I can imagine bruised and damaged toe nails if I were to play "all out". I didn't try wearing thicker socks since I don't think that would have helped.

Es un calzado para jugar tenis

Reviewed in Mexico on August 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

El calzado esta genial, es lo que se necesita para jugar tenis, en mi caso cancha dura. Cumple con los requerimientos en cuanto a soporte del talón y movimiento lateral. Buena calidad y excelente precio.
Me parece que quienes opinaron negativamente no tenían claro que es para la práctica de tenis, porque usarlo para correr no sería cómodo, es otro tipo de soporte.
