Reviewed by 22 customers Displaying reviews 1-22 Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: I'd ran in NB's years ago but the past 3 years I've been an asics girl. I alternated between the Kayano & Nimbus depending on length of runs, but have had problems with the fit up the uppers on both recent models (I like having all my toenails, thanks!). Pros

Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: I love these shoes and I hope Road Runner continues to have them! I recently bought a pair and now I just got a second pair so I can switch off between the two.
Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: After some disappointment with the recent Asics Gel Kayanos (namely, the 13's), I decided to give New Balance another try. I'm not sure why a good wide-width is so difficult to find. The 1221s were decent but rigid; not the best marathon shoes for me. This update (1223) has quite possibly the smoothest heel to toe transition I've ever experienced. Stable and supportive, but well-cushioned and pliable at the same time. NB has won me over. Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: Great shoe if you need a wide toe box and snug heel. No slippage. Also wears well; I am a heavy heel striker and usually break down shoes fast, but not with this shoe. Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: In my age, I have developed wider feet, and as a result have had difficulty finding running shoes that don't give me blisters. The last pair I had, (Nike), created a bunionette. These shoes are the most comfortable, fitting shoes I have ever worn, and I've been running for 29 years!!! Pros

Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: Since my 10.5 size is no longer available, I had to switch to an Asics and it is no match for the NB1223. Guess I will have to try something else to try and replace the NB I had worn for years.

Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: I run anywhere from 30-50 miles per week and have continued to buy these shoes for several years now. They are a staple in my running wardrobe and I don't know what I'll do when they discontinue them! The fit and support of the shoe are like no other. I've tried out other shoes over the last few years and keep coming back to this one. I have a slightly wide foot, so I started ordering the wider size and it fits perfectly.

Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: Ordered a wide for winter running (wearing heavy socks) and ordered B width for summer running--fits my insert.....so definitely a wide toe box. Feels great. It will be the shoe that I alternate with training for a fall marathon.

Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: I used to wear NB1006. Loved them...started having plantar problems which left me without being able to walk let alone any other sports. PT, doctor visits, etc. No real improvement. Read other peoples reviews and found that over 5-6 people use this shoe with plantar problems and it totally got them back to running. I first put the shoe on and truly, my foot was like, "finally some pain relief." It changed immediately and the pain has been gone for over 6 months now. It looks like a regular shoe...trust me, its a miracle to people who are in pain! Already told the PT to start recommending this shoe.
Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: I love this shoe. I did the 3 Day in November, and wore these shoes for two of the 3 days. I wore the 1224 for only one day and, although I trained in both, the 1223 was so much more comfortable...1224 gave me heel blisters...I'm so glad I can still buy the 1223!! Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: I'm a true Asics Kayano fan, but gave these a try just so I can alternate between 2 different styles. It does the job on both long and short runs. Satisfied with this pair. Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: I love these shoes! I've worn various NB shoes through the years and these are by far the best. They are supportive yet flexible with excellent cushioning. I'm confident that these shoes will get me through the next few months of marathon training. Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: I am a 220 lb female w/ plantar fasciitis and these shoes have seen me from couch potato to 5k. I am currently up to about 15 miles of training a week. I have had a few aches and pains along the way but I am a big runner so what do you expect. These shoes have kept me running with few days off (to nurse sore knees and calves), so two thumbs up! Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: Great shoes. feels wonderful. I love the wide width Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: Finally! Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: Love the shoe. I was so bummed that Sacouny changed the hurricane 8 with the 9. The 9 was way too wide. This shoe fits my heal great. I have had no issues with blisters. Love it. Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: What an amazing update from the 1222. I loved the smooth transition from heel to forefoot, the cushiness and the flexibility and I'm a small runner! And this is the first shoe that I've every tried on (millions) that employs a design accounting for your calcaneus being on the lateral part of your foot! Great Job New Balance. You hit it the bulls-eye! Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: Great shoe. I love how it hugs the heels but the toebox is so wonderfully wide! Amazingly comfortable. Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: Yuck! These shoes are the worst. Blisters no matter what you do. After wearing them for only several runs (one 20 miler), I'm going back to Saucony--I never should have left! Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: I have a lot of orthepidic problems and this shoe works great. Normally I get blisters but haven't had any with this shoe. Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: these shoes felt like slippers UNTIL the end of mile one.....I ended up with 4 big blisters and had to cut my run short. I put in ALOT of miles and use good socks and even had the glide stick with me that I applied twice. I've got to blame the shoe. Comments about Womens New Balance 1223 Running Shoe: I ran in the 1221 with no problems. The 1222 was horrible. It was wonderful to hear about the 1223 coming out, but that's about as wonderful as it gets. Blister was a word I just heard about, never experienced. Well, the 1223's changed that. The blisters I got made up for nevering having them. This shoe is awful! After wearing New Balance for years, I am now looking at either Asics and Brooks.
