Customer Reviews
Comfortable without being clunkyI used to wear Nike Vapor Pros, but they have changed them so much each year and the current version hurts my feet. This shoe is supportive without being clunky. I got the wide version, but it’s not crazy wide. (The Ons I also tried have a wider toe box).
Very different to the prior 996 versionsI have had many of the prior 996 versions and this one is very different. I have wide feet and hence always get the D (wider) option. This new v6 however is very different and very uncomfortable in the toe box. I just tried them on at home and they were hitting my feet just sitting on the couch. So unfortunately, I will have to return them. Going back to Wilson until New Balance fixes this issue.
