New Balance Men's MX624v2 Casual Comfort Training Shoe

Comment

Other than being too small to put on, the shoes are very nice. So how would I know without wearing them? Because I bought the identical NB model and size a few years ago and I couldnt be happier. But gee--identical manufacturer, model, and size...how could the first pair fit perfectly while this pair is too small to even try out? No one seems to be interested in this question, but if it is not pursued wont the same thing happen to someone else? Caveat emptor. P.S. I sent the following Email to New Balance on 12/4/17; no useful response yet. A few years ago I bought a pair of New Balance Mens 624 USA size 10.5 D, and I have really enjoyed using them. I ordered a new pair from Amazon, same size and model. They were too tight to use (not wide enough), and I returned them. Today I went to an actual store. The same problem exists there--10.5 D was too tight. I tried on 10.5 EE, and they were a little loose, but I can adapt with heavy socks and firm lacing, and so I bought them. No, my feet have not grown. The salesman measured my feet and 10.5 D is correct (the width is even slightly LESS than D). I believe that the new ones are too tight for the marked size because the shape of the "box" at the front of the shoe has changed. For my old shoes (that fit), the upper rises vertically from the sole on both sides before curving to the middle. But for the new shoes the upper rises at a steep angle from the little-toe side towards the middle, leaving less usable room on that side. To help other on-line buyers I intend to post this information at Amazon. I am writing to you first to get your comments. I think it would be in your interest to fix this error, else your shoes will start getting "too-small" reviews from everyone..

Actually the product was defective. After wearing it for a few weeks, the leather covering over the toe on the left foot, poked my foot. It began to hurt. At first I thought it was my socks, but, then I began to realize that it was the workmanship. The leather wrinkled next to the toes and the sides began to wrinkle. I tried using heavier socks but it did not help. I had to pay $24.00 extra to return the shoes. It was not worth it.

Unfortunately the negative reviews are correct, NB 623/624 wearer for well over a decade. This shoe was designed for a non-human foot. Not sure what they used for the model, but they may want to throw it out and use a model from a human. The heel section is at least 3/4 to 1 of an inch shorter then previous versions. This shoe feels like its going to slip off your heel with every step since it not high enough. A picture is worth a thousand words. Old shoe vs. new.

I have been buying these shoes for many years. Why are you making them so narrow now????? My old shoe sole width was 134.70 MM wide (See Picture). This new shoe (identical size) is only 125.62 MM wide. Is this a cost reduction gone bad? Or are these shoes massively mis-labeled ???? Both new and old shoes are marked M2034 USA13 5E(XX), both are made in China. I am very sad that I no longer can order this shoe that I loved to wear. Propet…..get your act together!!!!! Bob H.

The 624 fits differently than it used to. A little narrower in the toe box, a little less space in the arch. I had worn an 8.5 EE for years, with ample space. The current model is generally tighter but still comfortable. After two 30 minute sessions on the treadmill, the shoes feel fine. If I order another pair, I will probably order 4E width. Most new shoes require some break in time to get used to them. In the past I could take 624s out of the box and have a perfect fit.
