Best wide toe. Love this shoe for tennis/pickleball.
The first pair I ordered was a 7 1/2 D wide. I went up a size because I wanted to add my supportive orthotic insole. They were VERY wide and too big even with a sports orthotic insole. I sent them back and got a 7DD at a local wide foot store, after the salesperson measured my foot and told me I was a DD width. Not so. Tried to wear them with my orthotic and my heel slid all over the place. Tried cinching them down with a "runner's" tie, but they still wouldn't work on the court. I took them back and found out that the Wide Foot Store" doesn't carry a "D" (single wide width). Now I know why they sold me the DD.Aaagggghhhhh! Third time was the charm....these shoes are hard to find in women's 7D, so I tried again from Amazon Prime. This time they showed up in a couple days and are the perfect fit with my favorite orthotic. I love them so much I hate to take them off. Corrects my over-pronation. Gives me sure-footed stability and support on the court. No toe jam or inflamed bunion. I highly recommend to any woman who has foot and knee problems.FYI*** Just buy your regular size and add your favorite orthotic insert, since they come with a flimsy flat piece of nothing inside that removes easily. These shoes have a roomy toe box even in regular M.Expensive, but worth every penny in comfort and durability.

Great Shoe - Well Made and Stylish
I ordered these in both 5.5 and 6 M, as those are my usual sizes in shoes. I have a pair of New Balance running shoes in a 6 M, and those are more narrow and short than it seems New Balance shoes for tennis. I had ordered another style of New Balance shoes for tennis before this, in a 6 M assuming they'd fit the same as my running shoes of the same brand, and found that New Balance for tennis ran both longer and wider in the toe area. These shoes fit well in Size 5.5 for me. They are wider than I'd like (I don't like loose shoes, and I'm somewhat afraid that being leather they'll widen over time), but they fit well now, comfortable right out of the box, and they seem very well made, have a lot of support, and are very classy-looking shoes.

The tennis shoe I like the best
This is a good shoe for support and the length fits well. The narrow width is still a little wide for me but I just have to periodically tighten them. The tops are very durable but the bottoms tend to wear a little quicker than I wish. I use them to play on hard courts.

Shoes of the same brand and size don't necessarily fit the same.
I was very disappointed that the shoe was tight in the front. I bought a pair of NB shoes last year and it fit like a glove and was the best sport sneaker I have ever worn. I'm not sure about their quality control since it would seem like all shoes in the same size should fit the same. I was also disappointed in the packaging for the shoes. The box and inner wrapping were all torn and wrinkled as though the shoes had been returned several times before me.

Great for pickleball
My orthopedic foot Dr recommended New Balance court shoes with roll bar. Great traction and stability which helps support my feet that are prone to plantar fasciitis. And they come in the wide widths I need.Not the most stylish shoes out there, but they deliver for comfort.

Wonderful Shoe
I had to send the first one back because it was not true to size, but the second pair is wonderful, when I wear them they feel really good on my feet! It feel as if when I wear them the comfort and the stability that I have when I am walking and standing for periods of time. Make sure unless your feet are narrow, you buy a bigger size!
