4E width tennis shoes

If you have wide feet then you are probably aware how hard it can be to find high-performance, comfortable tennis shoes that also fit well. While New Balance is known for making shoes with truly wider width, they haven’t always been the biggest name in tennis shoes; luckily, the New Balance 656, 806 and 1005 all meet the rigorous demands of hardcore tennis players while still offering a variety of wider sizes. Even though they don’t list 4E shoes in their repertoire, tennis greats Babolat and Prince also provide a few styles with generous toe boxes and more space.

Babolat SFX

Along with a generous toe box the Babolat SFX is known for its cutting edge Ergo-Motion dual material midsole. The dual density midsole is made to equalize pressure on the foot during both lateral movements and quick change directions. SFX stands for Superior Fit Experience and these Babolat shoes offer plush cushioning and increased comfort. The large toe box lets you move naturally and comfortably. According to players who need a wider toe box, these are definitely at the top of the list.

Prince NFS Viper VII Low & Mid

Like the Babolat SFX, these are only available in medium width D but, also like the SFX, they boast a generous toe box. In addition to the wider toe area, the Viper VII’s — both the low and mid version — offer plenty of stability, both in the ankle and for side-to-side later movements. They also provide plenty of cushioning while the ShockEraser insert in the heel helps to absorb impact and dissipate shock. Available in both Low and Mid styles.

New Balance 656

New Balance has set themselves apart by offering a variety of wide and narrow sizes for hard to fit feet. The New Balance 656 is available in D (medium), EE (wide) and 4E (extra wide) widths. The 656 is known for its versatility: the perfect combo of comfort and stability. Excellent shock absorbtion, a lightweight EVA midsole and optimal arch support make this shoe a fan favorite. If that wasn’t enough, this durable shoe comes with a 1-year outsole guarantee.
