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.
The New Balance 1223 is a high-mileage trainer designed to provide maximum stability and cushioning for the moderate to severe overpronator.
The New Balance 1223 is built with innovative Abzorb DTS cushioning system, gives you impact protection & stability for a smoother transition from heel to toe.
