Great shoe, weird kind of suede, works great though.

Everything fits as expected

These shoes have been a godsend to me! I am not a runner, my reason for purchase was a severe case of plantar fasciitis plus a bone spur on my heel, so much so that even walking around the house or with daily activities was extremely painful. A Podiatrist told me I needed a good stability tennis shoe and to do stretches multiple times a day. I looked at numerous shoes, mostly New Balance, because that was her first recommendation. Nothing felt good until I tried on the Brooks Adrenaline 18 at a store. As soon as I put it on, it felt like a slice of heaven! So I went home and ordered through Amazon. I am wearing them with the premium orthotics from the Walking Company, so I can’t speak to what the footbed feels like without them. But in general, the comfort is amazing! The padding around the ankle is supreme and feels like it holds my foot in a secure position. The shoe keeps my foot from pronating, the lace up area is snug and secure, the toe box is roomy for my toes. The sole is perfect for me...it’s very stable but doesn’t feel like a cast like some of the higher stability New Balances did. I understand that’s what the Podiatrist recommended, bot those brick-like shoes actually made my plantar fasciitis hurt more! The Brooks Adrenaline 18 took just a day or so to break in and get used to, and after 1 week I had good improvement, after 2 weeks it is like night and day from when I started wearing them! I’m feeling mostly better!!! They’re so amazing, I bought a second pair from another company on a Black Friday sale in a different color! I take an 8 wide with my orthotics. If you use orthotics, I’d recommend a half size up. The wide is not too wide at all, it’s perfect!! Before getting plantar fasciitis, I always bought cheap shoes. I now see the importance of buying better quality shoes, I will never go back! Love, love, love these shoes!!! Don’t hesitate to get these gems, your feet will love you for it!!!

These are really beautiful sneakers. I bought these as a gift for my sister. She is about 5' 6" and typically runs about a 7 1/2 to an 8 in shoes. I purchased these in a 7 1/2 and they were a perfect fit. The cloudfoam in these shoes are no joke and the shoes, in general, are so lightweight. My sister always says it feels like she's barefoot, that how lightweight and comfy they are. I also got the ones in all black. They are so clean and crisp looking, couldn't be happier with this buy. Plus they are a big discount from the prices in stores!

I have needed a new pair of NB 623's for some time now, and I have been hesitating strictly because of some of the recent negative reviews. Finally, one of my laces gave out, so I decided to suck it up and give these a try. I have to say I am impressed with the look, the fit and the comfort! Usually I dread getting a new pair of shoes because I can only wear them for 2 or 3 hours at a time until they break in. With these, I was able to put them on, go for my daily walk, and continue wearing them as long as I pleased.

I don't know the version of my old pair, but I know I have had the old pair for at least 3 years (as I bought 2 pair at the time), but one identifier of the older pair was the "623" is in an oval on the heel (white numbers on a navy background) -if this helps any aficionados do a comparison. Whatever the case, I am impressed enough to order at least one more pair to set aside for later.

Great shoe!!

Great color. Great fit. Great price. What else could I ask for?

Perfect

Did not last very long. Disappointed with the amount of money it cost
