New Balance Men's 806 V1 Tennis Shoe

Shoe was great just did not fit my father as his feet were swollen.

Very comfortable and lasts for over 1000 miles of walking.

I work for USPS and these shoes were great while I had them with some very minor issues. This will be my 2nd pair.They wore down to almost nothing at just under the year mark. The foam sole retained most of its properties but I could definitely tell the foam wasn't as reactive around the 6 month mark and I was starting to feel the ground more. There isn't much for support. These are extremely lightweight and comfortable but your feet will warm up quick in direct sunlight because of the material that the upper is made of, although they do breath well. It looks like New Balance has stopped producing the New Balance Men's Fresh Foam Slip Resistant 806 V1 Industrial Shoe or are planning on coming out with a newer version so whatever is available is most likely all that's left I'd assume. New Balance has the Fresh Foam Arishi v4sr as a similar alternative. I also ordered those directly through New Balance as I like to have at least 2 pair of sneakers to switch up. Overall the New Balance Men's Fresh Foam Slip Resistant 806 V1 Industrial Shoe is a great shoe if you're going to be relatively active for work. I'd probably not suggest these for a restaurant setting honestly. As they do breath well, I'd imagine water and oils would seep in easily and create a problem. I'd rather give these 3.5 stars just because of the issues I experienced. Worth the price of $79.99 as of this review on 06/01/2023.

Best tennis shoe for pickleball for me!

The most recent pair of Newbalance shoes I ordered (NB 806) did not live up to my expectations. I have bought several pairs of NB1006 (have been unable to find lately) in the past several years and have always been very pleased with the way they fit, their comfort and their durability. The pair of NB806 I most recently purchased that was specified to be the same size as all the pairs previous ordered was not wide enough nor long enough. I returned the first pair and ordered a wider (4E) pair as a replacement. These were also very tight across the width of the shoe and very uncomfortable. Although I continued to try to wear them past the return deadline thinking they would loosen up, they have been very uncomfortable and I will not purchase Newbalance shoes like this in the future. Some of my friends that I play pickleball and tennis with who have purchased the NB806 tell me they have also had the same experience as me.

Shoes look good. The quality and comfort are not so good. MY past experience wearing NB has been good. Probably just this model.

In my opinion this is a very good, supportive tennis shoe. Many others shared that they felt this shoe was running small so I ordered it a half-size larger than normal. They were too big; I returned them and ordered my usual size, and they fit perfectly.

My husband is a professional tennis player and has worn New Balance tennis years forever. He mentioned he could use a new pair a week before Christmas. I knew exactly what he liked, ordered them on line & Amazone delivered the next day. My husband has been wearing them since.
