Review on Women's Athletic New Balance WX623V3 Comfort Training Shoes by Laura Lamb

I ordered this shoe a half size up (size 10.5) because the others I had (different style) were size 10 and didn't fit either. This is a nice shoe, but the large sizes have disadvantages. EXTERIOR MATERIAL: The material and design seem good, which is why I bought them. They have many smooth leather panels covering the entire front half of the shoe and about 80% of the back half of the shoe. The other material is a textile material, but the entire shoe is black with black stitching. LOWER SOLE: The lower part of the sole has a "rubber" sole with the addition of this artificial material. It has some rubber in it, but the bottom feels nicer. Plastic for me with a rubber clutch here and there. SHOE INSIDE/FIT: The width of the show was decent, but the overall shoe fit was way off. I find the toe box and forefoot narrower like it's a triangular shape. Even at half a size larger (than my normal size) I felt like my toes were pinched and I had little freedom of movement (and I haven't tried them on with SMH socks). I felt that the arch of the shoe was causing my foot to pull forward which loosened the back of my shoe. Sneakers are offered in large sizes. I bought shoes in size 10, 10.5. and 11 from New Balance, and all of their shoes had an odd fit. In the end they all fit, but there was an issue with the toe box being too narrow. I won't be ordering anything from New Balance for a while until I try out their new release from their official website (which is unlikely). I would not recommend these shoes and I hope that helps a little :)
