"my old 623 had a slightly higher cushion (probably 1/4 -1/2 inch) up the ankle - the new one felt a little different when I first put them on - not a deal breaker - just different - still a great shoe for the price"

"I have large feet. Going to Famous Footwear online allowed me to find a New Balance 623 in a size 16. This is something that I cannot do very often in retail stores. I really appreciate this website for it's ability to provide shoes hassle free, at a fair price, and in my correct size.
I originally bought the New Balance 623 in both a size 15, and a size 16, because I wasn't sure which size would be the best fit. After trying on both sizes, I determined that the size 16 was the best fit. Famous Footwear made it very easy to return the size 15 that did not fit. I just took the pair of shoes to the closest retail store. All in all, it was an excellent buying experience. I will definitely use Famous Footwear in the future when I need to buy new shoes. Thanks again for the great shopping experience!"
Yes, I recommend this product.

"These shoes are very comfortable & very supportive of your feet.
I have always found New Balance shoes to be best for people
with larger feet & the shoes tend to last for a good long while!
I stumbled on the shoes on your web site by accident and I'm
glad that I did! The price was much better than several other
sites that I visited. In addition, the quality of the shipping was
very good and these were received in a very timely manner!
I'll be back for more when it's time to buy another pair!
"
Pros: Good traction, Cushioning, Shock absorbing, Durable
Cons: no cons at all!

"I wear a size 16 shoe and it is difficult to find reasonably priced shoes, but Famous Footwear seems to come through for me with the New Balance brand. The 623 has a rounded toe and is the most comfortable New Balance shoe I have purchased. I would recommend it to all the other "big foots" out there."
Pros: Lightweight, Good traction, Cushioning, Shock absorbing, Durable, Breathable

"The shoe is very comfortable and well cushioned. They have good arch support. They feel good on my feet for walking and standing for extended periods of time.
I like the basic design unlike multicolored options. I like the all leather shoe versus shoes that have the mesh on them.
