Customer Reviews New Balance 680v6

Not as wide as one would expect for being marked 4E. I ran one time in these shoes and my feet and knees hurt. They don't seem to have cushioning needed. The arch support is non-existent as with most shoes these days. I have to by $40 orthotics to get the support. They might be ok for just walking around.

I have purchased many pairs of NB shoes and was disappointed in the overall fit and comfort of this particular pair of shoes. I ended up purchasing an expensive set of insoles to compensate for the lack of cushion with the shoes. The were marked down, and now I know why.

Too small and too narrow

The sizes always vary Even when they are marked with the matching sizes.

The New New Balance is narrower than the old New Balance. I've been wearing size 13 4E for years until now. Thid 680v6 as well as the Fresh Foam Arishi v2 are slightly smaller and narrower than all the old models I've worn. Be warned.

My son wore these for two weeks. The top completely separated from the sold during PE.

they are rock hard soles. I’m an 8 mile a day runner, and I can say definitively these are not good shoes for distance running. Again, soles are very hard, quite uncomfortable. nice looking shoes though, but not for running.

I would NOT recommend these shoes if you have issues with pronation or heel spur history. Pronation makes it worse.

felt smaller than sneakers from same maker of the same size & width

Shoe was not the size advertised.

I purchased this shoe in a Men's 9.5 4E width. This shoe was 3/4 inch less in length than another recently purchased pair of New Balance shoes of the same type, size and width, and the toe box was substantially narrower.

Shoes are not put together properly. There was difference between right and left shoes. Moved on to Brooks Ghost 13--an exceptional running shoe.

They aren't exactly attractive, they were heavy, and the support was firm and not comfortable at all. I quickly exchanged these for the Fresh Foam Arishi v3 (which cost less) and am EXTREMELY happy with that decision.

My son wore these for 3 months and the whole side blew out, completely ripped open. On day two he scraped against something and the blue coating on the front of the shoe came off, exposing white underneath, so they looked like a mess almost right away.
