Got these shoes for my wife. There is really nothing wrong with them, but there is nothing special either. At this price point I would have expected a bit better. At the same time she got these I got a pair of ASICS Resolution 4's based on a friends recommendation. We play quite a bit of tennis and it was like I had been wearing them for a couple of months. No break in at all. She immediately got a pair for herself and loves them as much as me. Again nothing wrong with the NB's but no comparison to the ASICS. Do not get the lower level ASICS and expect the same comfort. In this case you definitely get what you pay for.
