Perfect for Zumba!
I have been looking for good zumba shoes for ages. I have some foot issues, so good shoes are a must. I had been using New Balance Walkers, which have been great, but don't give me the lateral stability that you need with all the sideways motion. I also didn't want something that had super dense treads as you need to pivot and not hurt your knees while doing it. And I wanted a removable insole so I could insert my own orthotic.I had read that most tennis shoes fit tight and recommended to size up. In terms of width, I am a medium - maybe even a bit toward wide. I ordered my size (7 1/2) and one size up (8) in regular width. I want the shoe to fit snugly, but obviously be comfortable, not tight, and my orthotic to fit. The 7 1/2 shoes were perfect. I wear a thin half sock in them, so if I was wearing something different, I might have gone up, but the 8 actually felt too loose when I moved around a lot. There is average arch support so that would be fine for most people - I just need a little extra so use my own insole. Highly recommend!

Best tennis shoes for me!
I have been wearing this style show for several years now. I play tennis often and buy a new pair each year as they start to wear on the bottom, as expected. The rest of the shoe holds up well. I have very wide feet and found this shoe at a tennis specialty shop. I bought a pair there and since then I just order them from Amazon.I can't speak to the arch support as I wear inserts in the shoe.But this is comfortable for me and has held up well.The shoes in the picture have been worn for 16 months.

A good buy for wide toe box fans
Love the shoe; it's a tiny bit large, but not enough to bother me. The top gets dirty and doesn't clean up well at all.

Cushiony and comfortable
This is a very comfortable shoe. It fits like a glove with lots of cushion under foot to make it very comfortable yet it's still a solid, stable shoe for the courts. When I ordered my normal size for New Balance, it was too small but a half size larger fit perfectly. It's a great, comfy fit for narrow feet!

Give your toes space!
I measure 8-1/2 but was advised by a knowledgeable NB salesperson who fitted me and sold me on size 9-1/2 for Pickleball. My size 8-1/2 shoes were too short and were causing me foot pain. These shoes are great! Very comfortable, don’t feel too big and provide great stability on the court.

Not the same shoe!
I have purchased 6 pairs of these shoes in the past and was extremely pleased with them until this last pair. I ordered an 8.5 wide as always and what I received does not fit or feel the same as my previous purchases. of the same model and size. This pair feels narrower in the toe box and the insole is a cheap, stiff foam material. Previous shoes had a very cushy, flexible and comfortable insole. I have always been able to put my new shoes on right out of the box with no break in period. This pair however, I tried alternating with my old ones thinking they needed a break in which never happened. I am extremely disappointed with the last purchase and am actively looking for another women's wide court shoe as my go to.

Great shoes for the tennis court
I love these shoes, especially the hard soles, but comfortable fit. I usually go right through the toes and bottoms of my tennis shoes when I play almost every day in the summer, but these are lasting a little longer. Don't forget to use the very top hole when you are lacing them, because it will help prevent slippage from side-to-side. I forgot, and almost wanted to send them back! Once I realized it, I laced them correctly and they are great!
