Love my New Balance Basketball Shoes,
I really love my New Balance BB581’s. I have a very wide foot,Size 13 4E’s, and these shoes fit wonderfully. I have a terrible time getting shoes to fit well and especially basketball shoes. These are wide and comfortable and have great support. I can’t say enough good things about the shoes and Amazon’s great service.
Good not great, but that’s what you should expect,
This is a good not great basketball shoe. You have to kind of know what you are purchasing before you do with this shoe. I bought this shoe because it came in the wide size (which seems super hard to find with Nikes, etc.). It is a comfortable shoe for those with wide feet and it provides above average ankle support.
Obviously it has a couple drawbacks as it is manufactured by New Balance who is not exactly at the top of the bball shoe game. The shoes are a bit clunky (but not overly so) and a wee bit on the heavier side.
Also, while I have had no wear/defect issues, I can tell that these shoes are going to wear out a little faster than most bball shoes. Having said that, it is $60 shoe and really what type of lifetime are you really expecting for $60?
Overall, you have an affordable, comfortable, supportive shoe for the average part-time (2-3 times/week) baller. If you play more than that, you have to shell out a bit more scratch for a nicer, longer-lasting shoe.
