This is my first serious pair of New Balance running shoes as I have been a Mizuno Wave Renegade guy for a while now. I got these and put about 25 miles on them before running the Costa del Luz Half Marathon here in Spain. Decent. Not great, but decent. The cushioning seems to fade just a bit at...

Just ran 10 miles out of the box. They felt great! I have a mild arch and I pronate more on one foot than the other. Also, I have a medium frame (5'11', 168); so that helps too. I wanted to find a shoe with the cushioning of the Nike Vomero and the stability of the Nike Zoom Elite 4. I would highly ...

At 6'1, 210 lbs, multiple hamstring pulls since third run; comfortable, good-looking shoe for cardio machine and weight training, but sub-par stability and cushioning for 15+ miles/week road work. I've used numerous pairs of 1220s - great to sometimes excessive stability, but rarely ever injured. ...

I have worn these shows through numerous 10k, half-marathon, and marathons since back with the NB 1220. The shoe is a little on the heavy side, but I like the cushioning with a Spenco Cross Trainer insert. At 6'1" and 225, this is a good shoe for heavy runners. I had tried other but this is the b...

I'm a big runner...6'3" 260lbs! I ran two marathons back to back in October in this shoe. I usually can break down a pair of shoes in a few months. I'm surprise how long this pair has held up.

I'm a big runner 6'3 230lbs and I love this shoe....I used to wear Asics Gel-Kayano but with recent models they have gone downhill and provide very little support for me.
This shoe feels so comfortable and has nice snug support for the long haul without being too heavy. I tried a bunch of shoes...

I'm 215 pound runner upgrading from the 1221 to the 1223 and they are great. Overall cushion is better than the 1221 especially in the forefoot but its not too soft either. The fit is better and the shoe feels much lighter with the same stability. The toe box is slightly higher but after 10 miles th...

They're comfortable for a big runner like me with a wide forefoot. I just find them too soft to run in. My ankle starts hurting in about a mile, because these are too squishy. it's almost like I have to put in too much effort into taking the next step...
I'll stick with the brooks adrenaline gts 7 ...

Guys if you "toe off", roll off the front or whatever you call it don't buy this shoe, I'm 5'9", 210, after a 1/2 mile my achilles and shin just above the ankle begins to hurt and it only gets worse. The 1223 has a very flat ride and the cushioning is firm. To add insult to injury some designer dec...

Usually run in the 990 series but wanted to try something lighter, they were good for about a month and then I had terrible knee pain and they wore quickly in the heel. Will go back to the 990 series.

Very solid shoe feel very comfotably with good blend of cushion and Stability. Only complaint is to break in before long runs due to blister issue I had.

I love the shoe and fits real nice. Good quality, it just doesn't have the cushy feel like my progrid hurricane 9's do. But they feel so light that I will keep them for shorter faster runs.

just started training with this shoe- seems a bit light in the uppers (like a slipper) leaves my body with less aches and pains than my last shoe. - not bad overall- able to run quieter - less "road noise" with this shoe.

previously ran in 1222's, and just switched to the 1223 thinking it would be an improved shoe, but it seems completely different with much less stability, especially in the forefoot, which seems to slide all over the place. i loved the 1222's and will go back to them.
