These fit perfectly. Good looking shoe as well. Not as much cushion as I would like, especially when compared to my Fresh Foam 1080's, but a good shoe overall

Shoes look and feel great. I normally wear 10EE, and while these are 4E, they fit like EE. Only reason for four rather than five stars is the toe box is slightly shallower, measured from insole to fabric vertically, than I'm used to. Found the same with New Balance golf shoes, so appears to be a characteristic of this brand.

My son liked this shoe a lot, but it was narrow for an extra wide.

I've worn NB in 4E width for many years in 10.5 and have always had enough room in the toe box, but not with these. Going to try 11 4E instead

First I love New Balance -
These shoes seem to be sized correctly and true to size.
I am disappointed with how firm the soles were, seemed almost hard. Even with walking around the house the soles were uncomfortable and hurt the bottoms of my feet. I will be returning these as for me they are not comfortable.

The soles of the 680v6 are really hard. Other than that not bad.

I ordered this and the New Balance Fresh Foam Roav Backpack Dark Blaze/Workwear 10.5 EE - Wide. Fresh Foam Roav PERFECT FIT!! The 680v6 not a true 101/2 4EEEE. Too short! Returning and may order a second Roav Backpack. I have one concern; the soles of the Roav are a throwback to the gumsoles of the 70's and 80's and wore out fast and not sturdy!! BUT, it's the best fitting, cushioned and supportive shoe I've found in a LONG time regardless of price!!

They fit ok and they look okay. And I know they aren’t a premium shoe, but the soles are like concrete.

I like the way they look, and they are not one of BN's high end shoes, but I swear the sole feels like concrete. I won't return them because I just use them for knocking around, but I wouldn't order them again, and will likely have to buy inserts for padding.

love these shoes - I will probably buy another pair to have on hand - they are extremely soft and easy to wear

The lightest pair of sneakers I have ever owned. Fit perfectly. I love the fact that New Balance has more than one wide size. The 4EEEE is perfect for my bunion. And there is no pain since the fabric is very soft. Great for the gym and walking (I’m not a runner.)

It seems New Balance has changed their sizing. Always have worn 10 4E. Ordered that size way too small. Went to 10.5 4E, still too small. 114E. Perfect

I have worn New Balance for years and years. The only problem is when they discontinue a shoe I run in and the go crazy modifying the toe box. Then somehow they come back to their senses. The 680v6 is a return to "it fits, it works, and its comfortable." Great shoe to run in and width is excellent. Good toe box and light compared to my last New Balances which could be used to weight down a tarp in a hurricane.
The only problem is the shoes squeak. Not a mouse squeak, but loud enough my family can hear me walking in from the car (ok, maybe not that loud). But it takes a while to break these shoes in. So, accept the squeak, get these shoes.

The fit and size were great. Great width and comfortable. The only issue the shoes squeak. And not a little squeak. A "here I come from a mile away squeak!" But over time the squeak has moved from loud to annoying to a cute squeak announcing my arrival.

Intentionally bought a 1/2 size up from my regular size to give me more toe room, and these do that. Satisfied. Like these lightweight breathable shoes in the heat of Florida.

The upper material seems durable and very breathable. The midsole leans towards the firms side, like shoes of the past, not like some of the newer super soft midsoles. It's a good solid shoe and priced well.

I ordered these for my husband who is very “particular” about how his shoes fit/feel. I ordered these in the wide width since that seems to make sneakers more comfortable for him. The verdict? He LOVES them! He wears them everyday and he likes them so much, I just ordered him a back up pair! Thanks New Balance and Zappos!
