New Balance MC 996 are soooo good!

Bought these on looks alone. They look great, yet to play in them.

which insoles are a good option with these?

The shoes fit great, very comfortable. All aspects of the shoes in terms of performance is top notch, but the durability is horrible. The lasted me only a month.

This is for TW. I think I heard somewhere that you're done with the review but the review (and the video) is nowhere to be found.

Ditto. I purchased them on March 15th. About the first week in April I noticed to small spots on the toe had worn down into the foam. Now, a month later, I have completely blown through the outsole on the left toe and the right is soon to follow. They also have completely lost all lateral stability.

This shoe was comfortable and looked nice, but that's it. It's a damn shame too, because I have wide feet and can't find any other brands that do a 2E. Going to try the Babolat SFX next.

I have a 2E foot and I wear Vapor 9s at a half size bigger than I do in New Balance shoes (851, for example) and they're spot on. Maybe worth a try?

I had a pair of Court Ballistec 4.3's that were way too narrow, and I just assumed the Vapor's would be the same. I will definitely be stopping by the shoe store today to see how they fit.

Thanks.

JGads is right. The Vapors are wider than the Ballistecs as is the Cage model. I'm currently loving the width of the new K-Swiss Bigshot as well.
