Lightweight is good

Originally posted on New Balance US

No, I don't recommend this

Colors, materials, weight are all good. I wish the toe box were wider- I feel pinched after putting in orthotic arch support. The tread is for forward motion only. Definitely not for pickleball or hiking.

Since using these, my bad shin spints I get from regular running have felt amazing. I would highly recommend for daily use with running,, between the 12-15 mile per week range.

Disappointingly too Tight in the Front

Originally posted on New Balance US

No, I don't recommend this

I purchased the New Balance 680v9 after carefully following the provided size chart, so I expected the fit to be comfortable. Unfortunately, although I ordered the recommended size, the front of the shoe is uncomfortably tight around my toes and forefoot. What makes this especially disappointing is that I have never experienced this issue with my previous running shoes from ASICS or Brooks, even when wearing the same size. I decided to give New Balance a try this time, expecting a better level of comfort as you claim, but unfortunately the fit has been a major disappointment. At first, I thought the shoes simply needed some break-in time and that the material would loosen with use. I have now been wearing them for about two weeks, but the tightness at the front has not improved enough to make them comfortable. The issue isn't really the overall length the size I ordered matches the size chart. The problem is the lack of room across the front of the foot. I've tried loosening the laces and giving the shoes time to break in, but neither has made a significant difference. I really wanted to give New Balance a try, and I gave these shoes a fair chance for two weeks expecting them to loosen up. Unfortunately, they haven't. Compared with my previous ASICS and Brooks shoes, this has been a very disappointing experience, primarily because of the fit.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for giving New Balance a try. We're sorry to hear the fit around the toes and forefoot remained too tight despite following the size guide and giving the shoes time to break in. We understand how disappointing that can be, especially when your previous footwear provided a more comfortable fit, and if you'd like assistance exploring styles with a roomier forefoot or different width options, our Customer Care team would be happy to help.

NB 680

Originally posted on Joe's New Balance Outlet

Yes, I recommend this

Have worn many versions of the NB 680 shoe over the years and use them to train on roads, trails and treadmill plus have worn them in races from the 5k to the marathon with no issues. They accept my orthotics easily wear well and are comfortable to wear for short or long distances.

Comfortable, but upper wore out quickly

Originally posted on New Balance US

Comfortable everyday shoe, neutral support which allow orthotics to fit well. Only complaint is at 3.5 months my big toe wore a hole through the upper, never had that problem with 880, but then it's more expensive. Good shoe just expected it to last longer.

Bait and switch sale price.

Originally posted on New Balance US

I'm not happy that the shoes are now $10 cheaper than went I bought them just a few weeks ago, and at that time they were advertised as on sale. Also the shoes are 1/2 size too small, had to send back the first pair and order a second pair 1/2 size larger than my other two pair I use.

Bought these for my husband before he went on a weekend trip with the boys to Atl for Braves games. They walked 3 days, countless number of miles and his feet never got tired, and never hurt. Maximum comfort and style.
