If you play hard look elsewhere
New balance did a very critical change in the design causing meaningful pains while playing, very sad

Tennis shoe fit too tight, inconsistent 11.5 vs 12
I purchased and tried the NB tennis shoe size 11.5. Fit was way too tight, whereas the Prince 11.5 tennis shoe has plenty of room. I have purchased NB 11.5 running shoes which were fine, may I will try a 12 for tennis.

Poor design causing premature wear
Comfortable and breathable. Would generally recommend, but the "chicken foot" stabilizer in the sole has caused a hole to wear through in both shoes and they're not going to last nearly as long as they should.

Excellent support and stability
I have been wearing these for about a month, 3-4 days a week, 6-8 hours per week of play. Very happy with the support and stability I feel in my feet with the 996v6 compared to my previous asics tennis/pickleball shoes (which were still good shoes). The 2e wide is sufficient width for me. Overall, very happy with these shoes.

Very good low drop for manueverability
Coming from the 1007, the lower drop on these is great for reducing my lower back tightness - immediate benefit for me. I'm 13 2e wide and these provide plenty of speed for quick pivots and good grip. I will say it feels a little snug on the outside of my slightly larger right foot but the mesh seems to be breaking in nicely after 4x3hr sessions and no blisters so good to go can recommend!

SO NARROW
Always wear New Balance and these run SO narrow could not wear. Could barely even get feet in the shoe

Stable yet stiff
Overall, highly recommended. The shoes hold my feet securely, providing excellent stability for long-distance walking and running. However, I do feel some tightness or stiffness around the heels when wearing them.

Great court shoes
Great court shoes which I am wearing for pickleball. Good combination of comfort and stiffness for quick pivots. I took the advice of prior buyers and went with the wide. I am typically an E but these 2E's are perfect.

Love the look almost as much as the feel.
Needed wide sneakers as part of doctor’s orders. Im a DD and they fit great for me. Great support and i love the low pro look. Not running shoes, but cross fit performance is great.
