Feet no longer hurt after a 3 hr pickleball session like they did with my asics! I had revolution 8s and i couldnt hardly walk when i finally stopped for 30 min after playing. I'd be limping to the shower like my feet just got run over by a truck. I usually have a hard time finding shoes that are wide enough. These in wide were incredible.

I ordered a 12.5 but should have gone with a 13 as it seems a little tight. But overall, it is fine. I love the color!

I have pretty wide feet. Nikes are almost always too narrow for me. I looked into these New Balance tennis shoes specifically because they offered wide sizes. I typically wear a size 9. These 796v4s in 9W fit very comfortably. The toe box feels roomy, but not too roomy. Length is right. Grip on the court feels good so far.

Sometimes it's hard to find what i would call the color red in a shoe. This shoe fits the "bill".

I typically wear a medium with in most brands, but the fuel-cell felt more narrow than usual.

Only played in them once but my initial thoughts were really good. I had Adidas baricades before and hated how stiff they were along with the built in tongue. These are much softer and way more cushion in the sole.

After an hour of pickleballing on an outdoor hardcourt my feet/joints felt great. These shoes offer a lot of support and comfort. I’m 50+ and was playing in running shoes or slip on vans prior to purchasing the NB FuelCell so I’m glad the difference was pleasantly obvious. I have wide feet so I always order a half size larger shoe for extra room in the toe box. These felt a little snug at first, but after playing for about 10 minutes they felt great.

The wide width was narrower than I'd expected. It just barely fit.

I wear a Women's wide, but usually buy men's so I can just get regular width. After reading the comments I got the wide width in the size Zappos suggested. They were too small and too narrow. These fit like Nike's, not like New Balance normally does. I would have returned for a 4EE, but that doesn't exist.

If you don’t need a wide shoe this may be a good choice, but I was searching for a wide shoe, and this didn’t make the cut. Back to the Wilsons.
