Great shoe, just what I was looking for. I only buy New Balance shoes. They fit perfect and look good on. I needed a pair of white shoes and they fit what I needed.

Great for the Price

These are nice shoes for the money. The come in all colors in wide width which a a huge plus for me. I wear them for working out mostly. I do have a pair at work when I'm on my feet too but I like the 880's better for all day walking and wear. They also have the deeper fit so my ankles are better supported, and my inserts fit well in them as well.

V9 very different than previous versions
Originally posted on New Balance US
No, I don't recommend this
I have been getting 680s for the last few years and they have been consistently comfortable with no need to go to a store to try on. Unfortunately, the v9 fits completely differently to the previous versions such that it might as well be a different style shoes altogether. They are extra roomy, less cushioned, and, the thing that makes they impossible to wear, is the side of the shoe is now digging into my ankle bone because it is several millimeters higher than the previous versions of the same shoe. I'm so disappointed because I loved not having to shop for sneakers every time I need them - I could just order the same shoe and size with no fuss before - now it's back to a whole order/return or find time to go to a store.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for being a longtime 680 wearer. We're sorry to hear the v9 fit so differently from previous versions, with the roomier fit, reduced cushioning, and higher collar causing discomfort around your ankle. We understand how frustrating it is when a trusted style no longer fits as expected, and if you'd like assistance finding a comparable option, please contact Customer Care and our team will be happy to help.
