This is my final New Balance. Older models used to last for years. But something about the current materials and construction puts these things on death's door out of the box. I just started wearing it this month and the lace has sawed through the leather of the one of the holes. This has been a recurring problem with the brand.

The shoe was very cheaply made and built it had a narrow toe box on it which is not what they told me when I called earlier to new balance. So I returned it end of story and what I think about it

Product never arrived on the date promised. It's now one day later and still no product. You'd think a company focused on delivering shoes could do a more reliable job getting customers their purchases.

Soles separated from shoe in less than a year. Glued, not sewn. Lousy quality!

One shoe was shorter than the other. I am returning and reordered hoping for the correct sizing.

There is an absolute problem with width. These shoes are not a 4E! I have bought them before and they fit fine as far as width. These felt more like a D width! There is no excuse for a shoe that is advertised as a 4E to be so narrow. Shame on new balance!

Fit and feel were fine, but the stitching on the toe-box split after 2 months of use. These shoes were used only for tennis twice a week, and do not show wear elsewhere.

I have worn this shoe for years, but NB has obviously changed something. The toe box was excruciatingly narrow and after a walk, my feet were killing me. This seems to be a pattern for NB lately as there are tons of reviews saying that they have cheapened and ruined their shoes. You can add me to that list.

As a long time customer of NB, I am very disappointed in these. I bought them in June, started wearing them in July, and they were fine at first. Suddenly, at the beginning of August, something felt different and wrong. It's as if something inside, just ahead of the heels, has given out. First one foot, then the other a few days later, and the cut-out on the sole now acts like a suction cup on smooth surfaces! My feet feel lower at the heel, my feet hurt after a couple of hours, and sometimes my back aches. Yet, there is no visible wear on the outsole. A waste of money that I could barely afford.

I ordered two pairs of the exact same shoe, same size. One pair was perfect. On this pair, the left shoe was not long enough---the left shoe seemed to be an entirely different size. The left shoe did not fit, it was too short.

I have been buying and wearing New Balance shoes in a size 10 wide for over ten years with a great fit. Not these shoes. After just two short wearings (less than 2 hours) these shoes are too big and fit sloppy. Very disappointed. I wish I would have returned them as they are too sloppy on my feet and not comfortable to wear.

The shoe would have been great had the glue holding the sole on held! I don't know what has happened with the New Balance quality control, but the 623v3 is an abject failure!

The construction looked poor. I could see the leftover glue around the sole. The Azorb pads were not shaped the same. The stiching was inconsistent. The assembly looked short. The leather side reinforcement was not cut the same from left to right. The vent holes were not through in some places and not consistent. Overall a poorly construted product.
I have purchased New Balance shoes for over 20 years. In the past the materials and construction were excellent. I hope this is not an indication of future quality.

I have been very pleased with a NB 608 in a 4E for years but it appears to no longer be available. This 623 looked to be a replacement, unfortunately it's not for me, way to narrow for a 4E and it appears to be more cheaply made.

Uncomfortable and cheaply made.
These shoes were terribly uncomfortable for the first couple of days until they were broken in. Now they're not great, but they're wearable. Or, they would be if not for the fact that - after less than 2 months of normal use - the soles are already separating from the body of the shoe. My last pair of New Balance shoes held up well for years, but these are just garbage.

As far as I can tell, this shoe is a replacement for MX608V40, which was a great shoe. This model however, is awful. The sole is completely different. The cushioning and the support is a cheap imitation of the previous model.

Have been buying New Balance for many years, 623 has been my favorite. As no one carries 2E in all of Ann Arbor, MI. I decided to try getting them online!
(not a fan, prefer to touch and feel at a store) they arrive and I take my time to try them ( as I am sure they will be just like the ones I am wearing... surprise They felt good for the first two hours asI wore them around the house, took them off and went to work in my old ones. A few days pass and off to work knowing that the new shoes will be just like the old ones. An hour later I was calling a roommate to please bring my old shoes to me!
The soles feel much lighter/thinner causing the ball and heal of both feet to hurt, the seam at the big toe (left foot only) rubbed a sore spot. As I have worn the shoes out of the house I am sure I won't be able to return them. But I am more disappointed in the quality and comfort of the shoe. Now I have to start over looking for a quality shoe and I have tried many other brands with no luck!

I have a pair that fits perfectly. I ordered a duplicate pair which is too tight.I have bunions which makes tight shoe painful.
