Customer Reviews New Balance 680v6

The look is very Turkish but the shoe is extremely short. Toes reached the end and were rubbing the tops. Too bad.

They fit as suggested and worked great on the tennis court

These are very cute and I was hoping to add them to my sneaker line up. But they are noticeably tighter and not as comfortable as the Brooks I usually wear.

Felt Great until mid afternoon when my toes started to rub against the front of the shoe....I guess they're not meant to be worn all day!

Ordered my usual size. Found the toe box to be too narrow. Had room at the front of the shoe but the lack of width of the toe box caused me to be able to feel the edge of the insole padding with my big toe. Not comfortable, can’t imagine that feeling good during exercising. Sending them back. Very cute shoe wish it had fit better.

Overall these shoes fit well. There is very little 'cushion' to them and they feel 'hard' on the walking surface. I would advice adding a cushion insole to help lessen the shock on your foot.

This model is similar to most of the current New Balance walking/running shoes. The mesh in the front is very stretchy and does not hold the front of the foot. Based on my experience with another model, the mesh stretches out and there is no stability. New Balance needs to take a serious look at the mesh they are using and the construction of their shoes. The only NB shoe that has been satisfactory for me is a discontinued model WMORGC. The mesh and support on this model is good. Padding bumps on the side are bothersome at first.

This shoe didn’t work for me. Athletic shoes have become narrower over time and do not fit me. I have a narrow heel so if I get an extra wide width it won’t fit either. I wish shoes would fit like they used to, even just a few years back I could find workable options.

I’d don’t dislike the shoe as a whole, it’s just didn’t work for my feet. I loved the roomy toe box (but it too roomy) and the fact that is also fit my narrow heel and my feet felt secure in them. They seemed to offer support and breathability. I would have liked more flexibility in the sole, they fel stiff, but a new shoe is always a tad stiff so that might not be a long term issue. There was moderate cushioning, I would have liked a tad more under the balls of my feet. For some reason the right shoe over corrected my foot, so that it rubbed on the inside seem where the shoe and foot bed meet. Overall it’s a comfy running shoe, and I’m bummed it didn’t work for me.

Size spread is way too big. Can’t fit because it’s either too big or too small.

Shoe itself was easily a half size smaller than the other 2 pair of New Balance shoes I was trying. All ordered shoes were size 6D. Very odd. Cute looking but strange sizing.

I have worn New Balance for many years, have been fitted in their stores, and have always worn a 6 D (wide). The 680's V6 feel true to a size 6, but the shoes are definitely not a D width - the shoes are narrower. As a result, the the fit is tight - not unbearably so, but not the comfort I am use to from New Balance shoes. I am going to keep them to wear to the gym, however, I will not purchase this style again.

The reviews stated that this shoe was shorter...I wear a 7 and I buy an 8 in gym shoes...I have several pairs of NB and they are all 8's. This shoe style needs to be a half size bigger. Plan to return and order an 8.5.

I have purchased New Balance sneakers in the past in size 8.5 wide and these sneakers run smaller than expected according to the reviews so I ordered a 9 wide and they just did not fit properly in the toe area. Unfortunately I will have to return these.

I hated the detail on the tongue. It looked strange and stood out WAY too much from the black (I got the black with light blue detail). They were very comfortable, but I didn't like how they looked at all.

liked this shoe but not enough arch support

These shoes seemed like they'd be comfortable but sadly made my hips, back and feet hurt. Really hoped they'd work for me bc I lived the look and weight of them. I have severe arthritis in my feet and back.

I loved the colors and the style. The soles were stiff and felt hard when walking on hard surfaces. If they had been a bit softer or had more of a cushion feel, I would have kept them.

Had to return as the color was more gray than beige.

Keep hoping that the 680 will be improved with more cushioning - but sadly this shoe remains way too hard. Feels like walking on boards or planks. I even switched out the insole for one with more cushion but that didn’t help. It’s too bad because this shoe has nice room in the toes and works well with my narrow heels- no slipping.

Very tight narrow fitting. I am a 7 W and own the NB 840 running which fit fabulous. I thought this shoe would be the same but the toe bed is not wide enough. The shoe is also a whole size too small. I would need a 8. Love NB, too bad had to return.

These shoes fit smaller than my other new balance shoes. I also was looking for a stronger toe. They seem more like a fashion shoe vs exercise for the reason of not having a reinforced toe, it’s only fabric. I feel like my toes would go right through it.

No arch support at all, which is usually why I love Asics. The style and color is awesome though.

too tight

SO disappointed. They do run very small and narrow.
