New Balance Mens FuelCell 996 V5 Hard Court

These were rated by a YouTube foot doctor at Top 5 outdoor pickleball shoes. I actually tried 4/5 top options and these were the best for me. They were comfortable from the first day. I got the black color so they look sweet and match all my outfits. My feet are wide but the regular size fit well. I went up 1/2 size bc I was concerned about my toes getting too squished as I ran around on the court. They were comfy for the very first game. I played for 4 hours and although my body was exhausted, my feet were great. I haven’t had any turned ankles or problems. These were a great buy! Read more

Love these sneakers, very happy with them Read more

Best shoes for my wide feet. I’ve tried lots of wide shoes and some are very comfortable but don’t have the best support and some aren’t very durable but these fit well, have excellent support and they don’t wear out quickly. Read more

Great fit, wide as expected. They do rub a bit for me if I wear the wrong socks that have stitching in the toe. I mean really rub. I have to be very mindful of the socks I wear with these. I might try a half size smaller next time. But they are light, very comfortable, breathe really well and dry fast. Read more

I play pickleball indoors and outdoors and these shoes are great for both environments. My shoe preference is New Balance but have other brands that I consider "OK". When I found these on line I was impressed with the appearance and thought I would give them a try. A review by another buyer suggested he wears a size 10 but ordered a 9 1/2 and was pleased with the fit, I did the same and ordered a 1/2 size smaller. I also need a wide shoe :(. When I received the shoes and tried them on they felt too tight but after lacing them up and walking around they felt perfect. Since then I have played on indoor and outdoor courts and can say they are the best court shoes I have ever owned. Each time I find a product that I like this much when I re-order it's not available or has been discontinued so I purchased additional pairs. Love these shoes. Read more

The size is the correct size, but no matter how I tie them or what socks I wear, the left and right shoes rub my ankles raw and cause bleeding along with an ultra-sensitive bruised ankle bone. I tried inserting moleskin and different cushioning for padding, but it doesn't help. The top eyelet on the shoe is higher on my ankle than what I find on all my other shoes and the stiff ridge at that point of the shoe causes this problem by digging into the ankle. That stiff ridge should be higher or lower so as not to fall directly on the bone that protrudes at the ankle. It is very painful and the shoes are truly unwearable for Pickleball. Read more

Great shoe for me. Good support and great fit. Size 15 men with wide toe box and narrow heal. Great traction and support. Wish it had a little more cushion , but I will try some insoles. Read more
