Who it is for

Players who need a hard or all-court outsole in a heavy shoe with a roomy fit.

Why it works

New Balance 1006 sits in the brand's performance tier with a durable all-court tread and a genuine wide size, not just a roomy standard.

Watch-outs

Check the width: a roomy standard fit is not the same as a true wide size. Weight and drop are not published for every colourway, so they are shown as not verified.
