Light Weight, Supportive, Roomy Toe Box

Light weight but still supportive, roomy toe box. Standard width is a tad wide (I’m pulling the laces a bit tighter than other brands). Very comfortable, good grip on hard courts. Good value for the price.

Fuelcell 796v5 Pickleball

I have loved NB shoes for some time. Despite ordering the wide version (2E), I am a little disappointed the FuelCell 796v5 appears tighter than expected. I'm relying on the shoe stretcher at the moment to get by.

Nb Fuelcell Pickleball Shoes

NB shoes typically fit me well especially since I have wide feet. The NB pickleball shoes feel great with really good stability. The quality seems to be very good and so far very happy with them.

Great For Pickleball

Excellent shoe. Getting positive comments on the looks also. Good stability on the court.

Beautiful Looking Pickelball Shoe.

Beautiful looking pickelball shoe. There is ample room in the toe box and great support around the ankle. I've played 3 days in a row about 2 hours each, and no discomfort. I'm hoping these wear better than the last pair of Skechers which I only played with for 9 months and the toe area wore out and my toes were exposed. ( so much for their Goodyear rubber soles). The laces are solid and tie well giving my foot support on the bridge. Stopping action is very good. Id highly recommend these PB shoes.

Cut Into Ankle

The foot felt comfortable in the shoe. However, after the 2nd day of pickleball, the shoe cut into the ankle and drew blood. Now they are a walking or work in the yard shoe.

Good Shoes

I appreciate the fact that these shoes are available in wide widths. For my taste, the soles are a bit "grabby" -- very little ability to slide.

Light Sharp Look Sneaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the first thing I noticed was how light the pickleball felt.the construction of sneaker seemed good overall.the flap on the tongue was very useful in pulling the tongue tight.i did noticed that the sole was very rigid this made playing on a wood surface not as comfortable .there was no give to the sole.this would resulted in discomfort to my the feet. on the other hand playing on grass or dirt the felt much more comfortable as they tended to mesh with the playing surface.
