796v4 Pickleball

shoe is a bit hard and cause pain. the soles are good for the courts

Su far they feel comfortable. Haven't played in them yet. Like the wide width.

Light weight but the size is smaller than usual. Narrow forefoot.

One of the narrow shoe ever. Size is not true to what it says. It runs small

I have bought this shoe multiple times. Im so disappointed it is being discontinued. It is so hard to find a wide court shoe that is this comfortable.

I actually do not play pickleball. I am a long time tennis player and a long time fan of the FuelCell 996. This shoe has served me well for many years. Unfortunately in the last couple of versions the wide has gotten narrower and narrower. I thought I would try the 796 Pickleball since it was available in extra wide. I've only played a few hours in the shoe, and so far they are comfortable and appear satisfactory for use on the tennis court.

My first pickleball shoe was the tennis fuel cell in a wide and I loved them but my next pair of the same the wide got narrower and couldn’t were them. Switched to the foam in an extra wide which I could wear without pain but they were heavy and felt like bricks on my feet. Was so excited to see this shoe in an extra wide. They fall somewhere in between. Definitely not a true extra wide so you’ll be fine if you typically wear a wide. Lighter than the foam shoe but material has a cheaper, stiffer feel. Hoping they loosen up a bit. I’m really a 5 but got 5.5, may try 6 if I ever order again. Happy to see New Balance making a pickleball specific shoe and hope they expand their extra wide options.

My feet hurt most of the time (in all shoes) due to neuromas in both feet. In spite of that I play 3-5 hours of pickleball everyday. I usually can only tolerate a running shoe that is very cushy (but not a great court shoe). I even broke my toe playing because of how soft the running shoe is. This New Balance shoe is the first court shoe I been able to tolerate with minimal pain. It is very comfortable and stable. It also has great traction as the first time I wore this shoe, the court was wet.

It was so nice to finally find a woman's shoe size that offered xtra wide. I finally have an athletic sneaker that doesn't hurt my feet.

Too narrow! The Wides are not wide. These are nothing like my last pair.
