Love them!

The most comfortable shoes ever! I play pickleball in them! If you’re on the fence, DO IT!

Weird Lacing

If you can figure out how to adjust the laces, congrats. VERY difficult and, frankly, not worth it.

Not great. The colors are nice. Just ok. Not a fan

These are not comfortable. Very narrow and stiff. Nice looking but comfort is most important

Amazing for wide feet!

First shoes for tennis I've found that actually fit my wide foot. They are still a tight, protective fit, but they were comfy from the 1st time on court. No break-in period needed. Heavily recommend if you're looking for wide-friendly court shoes.

Prefer the old lacing method

I have worn NB696 forever. They are instantly comfortable and require no breaking in. But this model has changed the lacing structure making the shoes very tight and difficult to get on. They are pretty and comfortable but a production to put on.

Pleased with fit and comfort

I have wide feet, very little arch and narrow heels. This pickle ball shoe model fits well and it didn’t take long to break them in. Really it was just the first day of wearing them when they felt stiff. They’re not as cushy as my running shoes, but I guess pickle ball shoes aren’t supposed to be as cushy.
