The 1223 comes with better cushioning than its predecessor, thanks to a soft layer of foam over the midsole and a section of durable foam in the heel. Our tests showed the 1223 is lighter and more flexible than the 1222, so we've moved it from motion-control to the stability category. Make no mistake, though, the 1223 still has plenty of support. We recommend this shoe for average to bigger runners with low arches looking for a good combination of support and cushioning.
Introducing the new New Balance 1223! The long awaited upgrade from the 1222.
