## Description

Stay ready when you're on the court with the New Balance 696v5, featuring a full-length NDurance outsole for superior grip on hard courts. These tennis shoes include a synthetic and mesh upper for durability and have a locked-in feel and reliable fit to help you feel confident through every match.

Review: Great for actual tennis - These may not be the most eye catching lung but they are comfortable and completely support me while I play tennis. Exactly what I hoped for!! Glad I bought them, and it’s been seven months and they are holding up just fine!!!
Review: Good fit, great traction - My size is 7.5 women's wide, and the shoe size fits as promised. The traction on a standard outdoor pickleball court with this shoe is not too gripping, yet is forgiving when needed. The sole holds up well on the court and the lateral support is top notch. Insoles fit well in the shoe. I only wish there were more colors to choose from.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good fit, great traction

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfy but wears fast
*by K***. on June 23, 2024*

I play tennis roughly 3-4 times weekly, mostly on hard court. What I love about this shoe is that it is offered in a wide fit. Tennis shoes are uncomfortable, but at least having a wide with available one makes it more endurable. I would say the tread is 80% worn and I will be lucky if I make it to the 3 month mark from the date of purchase. I will most likely buy again only because the OC are insanely expensive. I feel for the amount paid on these shoes, I am ok with them lasting only 3-months.
