  • Comfortable and Durable Pickleball Shoes
Size: 9.5 Color: White/Grey/Team Red
I purchased these shoes again because my original pair, the same model, was beginning to show wear on the outsoles after a year of playing Pickleball up to three times a week. Amazon recommended I buy 1/2 size up which I did. I had to return them though because they were too long. I purchased my regular size, the same size of my old pair and they fit perfectly. The arch support is just right. Perhaps buy a half size up if you wear thick cushioned socks. If you play Pickleball, it is important to wear shoes specifically made for Pickleball. I found tennis shoes were too sticky and the bump-out on the outer sides prevented the smooth lateral movements required in Pickleball. ( In my experience, I have observed that often, the people who fall on the Pickleball court are wearing inappropriate shoes; either running shoes or tennis shoes.) I like the style of these shoes with subtle red, white and blue colors and an asymmetrical design. I found my original pair to be very durable. I threw them in the washing machine occasionally to keep them looking brand new. I carry them to the court and change into them there. If players believe these shoes wear out too quickly it may because they wear them off the court on cement or gravel. ... show more

  • Good shoes
So far so good. The 1st shoe that feels good out of all the other ones I tried they look even better than the picture, they fit well not narrow, the support and quality seem good but time will tell. I’ll update after I play using them.

  • Great Cushioning
Update sept 1. I’ve had these shoes 3 months and the soul on both shoes is worn smooth. So I would say for an all court shoe, these are not the best choice. I do not play every day, so I am surprised they’ve worn so quickly. Yes, they fit perfectly, no breaking. But for the cost I would say this is not your best buy.. Toebox is Roomy but not loose. Heel is secure. Great cushioning from heel to toe. These are great for Pickleball, as well as Tennis. Played 4 hours and no hotspots. I normally take a size 7 in women’s and these are perfect. Lightweight, but a solid, supportive, athletic shoe. I ordered them in green and the color is awesome with the contrasting purple heel. These will be my new go to Pickleball shoes! I can honestly recommend them since they sold more out, so quickly. ... show more

  • Best tennis shoe on the market
The BEST hard court shoes you will ever have. True to size. Great support without having too much padding Wish I had bought 5 pairs before they came out with the updated version. I’d do anything to go back in time and get a few more of these bad boys

  • Yellowing toe guard
I loved the look and feel of these shoes. However, I am disappointed in the yellowing plastic on the toe area. I was careful not to bleach them and only wash them with detergent, but the yellowing has darkened. I have had them for nine months and play pickleball several times a week in them - everything else is great. Little wear so far. ... show more

  • So comfortable, no foot pain after playing multiple days/week
Do not order 1/2 size larger, they will stretch a bit in the first few weeks of wear. V5 is the best pickleball shoe, most comfortable in arch, small break in period around ankle, but worth it! Do not buy V6

  • Its heavy and digs into me at the top of the inside edge of the shoe
I find the shoe comes up too high and digs into me. Mostly on the inside part of the shoe. I keep trying to bend it back but it is annoying. I am wondering why New Balance no longer has the woman's 464 v4. In the last 6 months I have been in 3 countries and not one has any in stock. I think it might be discontinued but its a great shoe and i cannot find anything as nice ... show more

  • Tread wears very quickly
These were delivered to me July 6. It is now August 25. I ordered new ones in a different brand due to the tread smoothing out so quickly. I compares mine with many friends and no one could believe how smooth they got. They are extremely comfortable but I feel they definitely should last much longer! ... show more
