WCT1004

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.

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.

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.

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.
