I loved 1001, 1002 and 1003 for comfort and fit. the 1004s are too wide and almost a size larger than the originals. I returned them immediately without wearing them. I am surprised that the other comments didn't feel the fit was totally wrong. I am very disappointed about this as i know have to try and find another tennis shoe that I like as much as the prior models. Cant understand why NB would change a great shoe. Extremely disappointed.
Please know that your disappointment disappoints us as well. It sounds like you have been with us for years, which we always love to see, but it's too bad your 1004 didn't work out. Your sizing comments would lead us to ask if you are certain the shoe was the size you had requested. It's possible the shoe was in the wrong box (since the sizing should be identical) but let's talk directly and discuss some alternatives for you. We appreciate you being such a longtime fan and we look forward to helping you.

It is obvious from reading the reviews that this shoe either fits your foot or it doesn't. Fortunately, it fits mine perfectly. I had tried on literally every tennis shoe in about 4 stores, and nothing fit. Someone recommend I try this in a narrow, and what a great recommendation! While I don't usually wear a narrow shoe, many other tennis shoes were just a touch too wide, leading to blisters and instability. This is perfect for me. And it is much lighter and more breatheable than my previous tennis shoes - perfect for when the weather gets hotter.

I bought ct1000-1003, 1004 is totally different, uncomfortable with the elastics, shallow toe, doesn't feel stable. I can't figure out why they totally redesigned this shoe and labelled it in the same series; It's not at all like the others. Go back to making the 1000's plz. ct1000 - 1003 were the Best clay court tennis shoe out there.
We are so glad to hear you've loved our shoes over the years. It's too bad the 1004 isn't perfect for your needs. The feature changes that were made were designed to offer a higher degree of support and cushioning so let's chat directly and discuss some of the particulars. We would love to help you find the perfect New Balance style.

I have been wearing the 1000 series shoe for tennis for as long as I can remember (7+ years) and loved them. I recently wore the 1004 shoe and had to return them because the fit was totally different. First, it felt clumsy, too big and bulky. Second, for the first time I developed an achilles heel issue. While I can't say for sure its the shoe, I have to think that the fit wasn't good for me anymore. Third, the shoe seemed much wider and I don't measure a narrow width. I never could get them tied so that the width felt comfortable. Also, the laces were too long. Why did you change the shoe sooo much? I have to find another shoe now and I am mad. I already went through that process and now I have to start over.
Wow, it sounds like you encountered several difficulties and we were disheartened to hear of them. It is interesting to hear that you felt that the fit is different. Our 1004 is identical to the predecessor versions in terms of fit (the overall feel of the shoe would have changed about 5 years ago but otherwise should be the same after that point). Have you spoken to one of our Product Experts? We recommend contacting us so that we can discover more about your individual needs and what should work for you. Don't lose hope - we can help you and would love to do so.

Unfortunately, these shoes (WCT 1004) felt very uncomfortable, especially around the top of the foot. They felt heavy, with poor ventilation. I had to return them after trying for a week. I wish I could find a model similar to New Balance WCT 1002 - those were my favorite, very comfortable, light-weight, perfect fit.
