Customer Reviews New Balance 623v3

Feeling bummed... While I normally love this model, part of the mid-sole of the right shoe has come unglued after only 2 weeks of use! Hoping it's an anomaly. Will see what customer service can do for me.

Shoes SQUEAK when walking on linoleum or tile floors. Unacceptable. Otherwise, nice shoe

New Balance no longer makes 4E width shoes. Every pair I have tried on has a much narrower toe box and then ends in a semi-pointed toe. I have 2 pair of New Balance trainer/sneaker shoes that I bought 3 years ago and if you match up the bottoms of those shoes with their new version of what 4E width is you will see a 1/2-3/4 inch difference depending on the shoes. Why would they do this? Squeeze out a little bit more profit...pathetic! If you need 4E shoes you are out of luck with these.

The fit was ok, but the shoes were a full plastic outside and were hot and sweaty, and then "stinky" after just a few weeks of wear.

Felt narrower than exact item it was replacing.

toe bed was not wide enough

I usually wear a 14, but could barely get these on. Also, I ordered WIDE but they felt very narrow, especially in the toe box, which is where I need extra width.

I have purchased this shoe three times. Overall it is comfortable and fits well, although the 'moderate' arch support option for this review is minimal and I use an insole to help arch support. Giving it 2 stars because on the second pair the stitching came apart at the toe and the leather split (left shoe in one image) and after 3 months this latest pair split where the leather is joined to the sole at the front (right shoe in the other photo) different pairs in each photo. I want to buy some more, but after 3 months of use with the latest pair, I question the value. I do not use them every day and the sole is only half used.

I expected these to feel more like an athletic shoe. They have little support and feel flat.

I have another pair of these New Balance MX623v3. I love the shoe, but my last pair was a 4E which was a little too wide. I tries the 2E and they are a little too tight. New Balance used to have a 3E which I was going to order, but they stopped making them. Seems as though they are following other manufacturers and consolidating their sizes to increase profitability. As much as I like this shoe, I will be forced to look for another manufacturer. I had purchased a pair of New Balance Men's 411v1 shoes recently, the X-wide width. It felt good when I wore them, until I started my walking routine. Then they were extremely tight where my toe got black & blue from them. I don't know why they insisted on changing their sizing. I will not buy this shoe again either.

I was very disappointed in the quality and fit of the shoe. The leather felt like plastic and the shoe felt very cheaply made. I guess you get what you pay for but ordering shoes online is difficult. Thanks to Zappos though for making their return process so easy.

It seems NB resized this model. It was previously a perfect fit. This latest version is a full size narrower. Go figure.
