5 Stars Tennis slippers

Tim K from ON wrote (October 19, 2018):

All shoes should be this comfortable! I've been wearing these shoes for 2 years now and have to admit, playing in these shoes is like wearing slippers - - they are so comfortable. If I had to complain about something, the only thing would be the exterior soles wear out a little too quickly for my liking. I play winter tennis apx. 3 times a week and during the summer, about half a dozen times. I go through 2 to 3 pairs of these shoes a year. However, I am a little heavy for my size and probably wear them a little harder than most. Otherwise, they are an awesome shoe!

1 Star New shoe is too small

I have worn New Balance 1006 size 8 2E for several years. Ordered a new pair and they are about 1/2 inch shorter than my current shoes.

2 Stars Toe area not full

Wear mainly NB for my wide foot. Bought these and they are tight in the toe box area. The toe area is flatter (almost like the Nike shoe) Had hoped they would get better after a break in period and time past and did not improve. Feel it is too late to return.Very dissappointed.

5 Stars Best shoes

These EE are the best shoes on the market for my feet.

3 Stars BS is not the same width as BW

Nash C from CA wrote (March 04, 2018):

I was happy with the white 1006BW and wanted to have a pair in black. I ordered the 1006BS in exactly the same size. The BS felt narrower and shorter than the BW even though it was labeled as the same size. I have similar experience with NB shoes lately, that the sizes are inconsistent across models. Unfortunately they are the only ones that offer 4E width!

4 Stars myshoes

Shoes arrived in a timely fashion. They fit well, except the toe box could be a little larger,(fuller) and the laces should be longer.

5 Stars As advertised

I really need the 4E width. Of late, some of the New Balance shoes that I tried were not really 4E. This one is.....

5 Stars width problem with 2EE

Dave from AZ wrote (September 10, 2017):

As with Fran's review above, I have worn both the 1004 and 1005 series with the 2EE width, and they fit perfect. However, after ordering the new 1006 2EE shoe, found it too tight. Thanks to Midwest Sports free return policy and exchange, I got the 4EE version and they fit great. If you have used the 2EE in the prior models, you might have to go to the 4EE in the new 1006 series.

5 Stars Good support for my feet

Bdship from AZ wrote (March 30, 2017):

I bought these shoes based on a recommendation from a foot specialty store. I wear 2E width and I wear orthotics inserts in them (I pull out the insole first). I also have arthritis in my feet, so there a few issues to deal with. These shoes provide the support I'm looking for and yhey feel comfortable when I have them on for day while playing pickleball tournaments. They wear well. I am on my second pair. In my experience, I find them to be true to the size.

5 Stars Nice wide shoe

I have used NB 4EE for about 20 years now. I heard a rumor that the 4EE was going to be discontinued so I thought I'd try a 2EE. And the color is not available in a 4EE. As it happens, the 2EE has been great. If NB now keeps some color options in the 2EE I'll be a very happy camper. I have long suffered with plantar fasciitis so I use the NB 2EE with NB insoles and my feet have no problem at all. The 4EE was fine with the same NB insoles but there are better color options for the 2EE if you find that they work for you.

5 Stars AWESOME Shoe

Straight out of the box: Very comfortable. I bought to play tennis and I have pain in left heel after play. My pain was less severe after playing in these shoes. Great cushioning, fit true to size for me. I am a pleased customer. The level of service at Midwest exceeds expectations

5 Stars Great Shoe for Orthotics

This shoe is wide and deep for those trying to fit their orthotics in a good tennis shoe. Very comfortable.

2 Stars 2e not wide enough

Fran G from NJ wrote (March 25, 2016):

I have worn NB for many years & I've had several pairs of the 1005's (2e), which are now discontinued. The 1006's are very tight. I bought both the white & black. Both too tight! I've played matches with both pairs 4-5 times, hoping that they stretch out, but it hasn't happened yet.

I have very good experience with this shoe. Tough to find in my area, but really like the shoe now that I can find it!
