Pros & Cons
Pros
Shoes have roomy toe box even in regular m. I wear a wide width, and they are hard to find. They are well cushioned. Removable insoles so i can add my own orthotic insoles.
Gives me sure-footed stability and support on the court. Corrects my over-pronation. It’s a comfy, supportive shoe that is perfect for pickleball.
Cons
The 806 iteration has a significantly narrower toe box. Not only are they too narrow they are very stiff and hit on my ankle bone. They hurt as soon as i put them on.
My biggest complaint is that the leather they are made from looks and acts like it is fake leather (maybe it is). It's a shame, because there are not a lot of option for over-pronators like myself. The shoe is very stiff and hard.
Highlights
Quality
They fit and look like good quality.
5 wide and they are very comfortable.
Price
Only gave 4 stars because the price is a little high & the bottom wears fairly quickly if you play on hard courts.
Packaging/appearance
These shoes are so comfortable from the moment you put them on after taking them out of the package.
Competitiveness
It usually takes me a while to break in my pickleball shoes but these were comfortable right away!
I wear my new balance 806 to play pickleball.
Could use more arch support for pronated feet.
Needed some court shoes to use for pickleball.

The toe box was a little smaller than previous versions but not to the extent that they needed to be returned
