Customer Reviews New Balance 680v5

I just got these and they look real nice. I usually wear NB walking shoes but thought I'd try these. Big mistake. These are nowhere near as wide as the walkers. From mid foot forward they just get smaller. Although they say they are a 4E they are not a true 4E. And the length is short too compared to the walkers.

Looking for wide padded shoes for bunion afflicted feet. These fit the bill

Very comfortable fit.

The fit of this shoe was perfect. This pair makes the third pair of this model I have bought. The other pairs were other versions, but they are basically the same shoe. I have purchased the same size and width of all three pairs, and they have all fit perfectly true to size. For being 6 foot 3 inches tall, I have a big foot (size 14), but I have a medium width. The medium of this model is perfect for my foot. They have moderate arch support. I did take out the removable insert and replaced it with an insert I bought that would help me with my planters fasciitis. This is a great shoe. I would not have bought three pairs over the years if it didn't work for me. Through Zappos, the price was amazing, and the service is always great.

My 8th grade son really likes the style. We had to order several pairs to get the sizing right.

ONE OF THE MOST COMFORTABLE SHOES I HAVE EVER WORN, AND THE GENTLEMAN NAMED CHRIS P. STAYED ON THE PHONE WITH ME UNTIL I FOUND A PAIR OF SHOES FOR UNDERPRONATION. THEY NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE THAT WHO ARE SUPER NICE AND CUSTOMER FREINDLY. IT'S NOT VERY COMMON TO FIND SALES PEOPLE THAT WILL GO THAT EXTRA MILE ANYMORE, BUT EVERY TIME I HAVE CONTACTED ZAPPOS FOR ANYTHING THEY HAVE BEEN UNBELIEVABLY HELPFUL. THAT IS THE KIND OF SERVICE THAT WILL KEEP ME COMING BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN. THANKS ZAPPOS!

I have a wide foot but just couldn’t find a comfortable shoe and the 4E width is perfect. Ended up buying the black as well.

My Husband loves his new shoes very fast shipping.

Great Fit, I have a little wider foot and the 4E makes all the difference. Great Comfortable Sneak!!!

My son, 7th grade, loves these shoes. He says 'they are just flashy enough to be fun, but not too flashy.' He tried on a few pairs, and chose these for best overall in style, comfort, and fit.

My child wears AFO’s, and we have to order wide shoes. These fit great and are comfortable for him.

Way too narrow compared to all previous new balance of same. Sizeand width

Lightweight all purpose running shoes. Good value for the money.

Good shoe, happy with the purchase. Could use more arch support.

Recently I ordered the New Balance Arishi in wide. They were not wide at all, and I had to return them. I was concerned when I ordered this shoe that it might also not be wide enough. I've had them about a week, and I like them. Not as wide as New Balance I've had in the past, but they are comfortable. I bought a pair for every day and a pair for the gym, and both have worked out well. I put my on arch supports in, so I can't comment on the support in these shoes.

I bought these for my teenage son. Size 11 was a slightly smaller in size and width than his current size 10 New Balance shoes that are similar in style (compared the shoes sole to sole). My son liked the style so I ordered size 12 in wide and double wide.

Nice Shoe. Very stylish. The Deep Pacific blue was beautiful. But this shoe was way too small and narrow, even in 4E width. Not sure bigger size would help. I didn't take the time to walk in this shoe because it was that narrow and small. I'm a 57 year old woman with bunions, and I have a wide forefoot. However, I have a narrow heel, and I can say this shoe fit well in my heel area.

Way too narrow for a 4e

The Fit is Perfect. I am a 14 4E|5E. These shoes feel great! I walk my dog everyday atleast a mile through Suburbia and these shoes feel great! I love the bright blue!

While this shoe fit well, and the width was good for me because it runs narrow, I agree with the person who mentioned the crackling plastic sound and feeling over the toe box when walking. I would have kept them if not for that.

The shoes fit as expected and are comfortable to wear.

For a size 13, over 220lbs, who breaks down midsoles as fast as I do, these are the best neutral fit for a severe underpronator that I have bought in 6 years. Back then the New Balance 1200 series were great when new, but collapsed fairly quickly. These have a firmer midsole, still feels springy after standing all day, and for the money can't be beat. Bought two pairs and hope the future updates don't change the characteristics of this model. It's a pain to have to search when updates make a shoe no longer ideal.

Fit exactly the same as all my other NB shoes. Stylish but not over the top.

Very comfortable sneakers that fit well in the medium width. Colors are nice too.

Perfect fit, comfortable!
