Customer Reviews New Balance 680v6

I like a wide toe box, and this show is perfect.

Really good looking and allowed me to wear my custom orthotic without even retying the laces. Only wish I could find slip- ons like this

Took me a while to find an attractive sneaker that didn't look twice its size because the heel/sole extends out so far. These fit great and I can wear them all day and still be comfortable. I !love the color, too!

Not only are these about the cutest athletic shoes available, they are COMFORTABLE. Winners all the way around. I got the blue color and it’s gorgeous. Every time I wear these, at some point, someone makes a compliment about them. Very pleased with this purchase. Thank you Zappos!!

Very comfortable right out of the box. Already ordered another color! I'm not a runner but these are great for walking

Love, Love, Love these shoes. So comfy I'd wear them all day! Felt great walking too, even after 3 miles.

So cute! Comfortable right out of the box. Will get another pair in another color. Seems as though when you actually find a great shoe, when you go to reorder, they’ve either been discontinued or had some unpleasant design change. Thank you Zappos for making these fantastic shoes available!

I ordered my usual size 7 that fits perfectly. I love the powder blue color. Most of all I very like the support the shoes provide!

Wow! These fit right out of the box. I usually wear a 7-7.5 so I ordered the 7.5 and voila! Perfect. I am wearing them with a pair of Smart Wool Invisible footies. This sneaker fits snuggly so I think lightweight or thin socks would work just as well. If you like much thicker socks, then order a half size larger or even a bit wider to accommodate the thicker socks. I chose the Cashmere color and really like it. It’s more of a dusky lilac to me. I think it just gives the shoe some zip without overdoing it. Like many others who write reviews, I have bunions and hammertoes, but I can walk without pain in these New Balance winners! They will be my “go to “ shoe daily.

I've been wearing the 650v for a few years and love them so with them discontinued moved to 680. They are good, they run a tad smaller than the others and I'm personally not crazy about the color options however the shoes are good.

Super comfortable right out of the box and the purple color is gorgeous! A pink-y purple...different and very pretty. I am usually a Brooks girl, but I really like these and may get another pair in another color.

Even if you have bought NB before, READ THE REVIEWS! I've bought NB running shoes for YEARS and always the same size. This was the 1st time I've had an issue with fit. I had to go up a full size. Had I read the reviews (didn't think I needed to), I would have realized that many others have run into similar issues with sizing.

I normally wear a 10 in New Balance running shoes (9.5 in normal shoes) but the 10 in these were too small. sent them back and re-ordered a 10.5 and they feel great.

To begin with, I'm 77 years old and not very athletic. These shoes are good for me to wear all day long and take my walks in. I would like if there was a little more cushion on the balls of the feet area. The heel area has great cushion and the arch is very strong. I have 'hammertoes' on each foot so the mesh top is very giving. I really can't complain.

New Balance is the only brand sneakers I can wear. These are very nice looking , comfortable and great for warm weather, I can always find a wide width and it has a removable foot bed for my orthotic, but please note - when ordering my size, the prompt on the page kept popping up that me my fit is a was 7-1/2 Wide. Though I always buy one half size up in New Balance, I went against my better judgement thinking the style might run differently, not uncommon in shoes and sneakers. Now,I have to return them. New Balance run small in size and, for me, width. One half size up works well.

This is my 2nd pair of these shoes. I really like them!! They are a good summer shoe. They do run about a 1/2 size smaller. Excellent shoe!!

I usually wear a 6, but always get a 6.5 in sneakers since I wear thicker athletic socks and my feet swell a bit when exercising. But when I ordered the 6.5 in these they were too small. So I returned and ordered a 7. Now they fit great! Very comfortable and breathable.

Ordered 1/2 size bigger and fit good.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the look of these shoes but had to return them because the toe box is not quite large enough with my orthotics. They were super comfortable without my orthotics, but not enough arch support. The material is super stretchy, but my feet were still cramped.

I love the way this shoe fits and looks. I am a pretty true size 11. I returned the 11 and ordered a 12! I think a half-size availability would help some folks. Only thing i noticed after several days of where. The shoe top can get dirty easily. Still I love the color and style and comfort.

Like many reviews said, does run small. Glad I trusted the reviews and I ordered 1/2 size larger. I have never had to go up to a 9 but did so on this shoe. A local store had the shoe but only in a 10, from trying that on I could confirm as other reviews said, it defiantly runs small. I even compared the 9 heel to toe with all my other 8.5 athletic shoes and the 9 looks exactly the same. Hope this is helpful for others, but good thing is ZAPPOS has free shipping and returns! Thank you Zappos! Nice shoe for the price. I ordered in 2 colors and the fit was consistent with each color.

I normally wear a 8.5W in New Balance athletic shoes. This shoe is the correct width but way to short. My big toe is almost touching the end. I might order a 9W and see if it fits or if it will then be to wide. Insole seems comfy not real plush but soft, I did not notice much arch support, there is a little, (no category to rate the support as minimal). The fabric upper is nice, soft and stretchy for bunions. I am not a runner, just a walker.

No cushioning in forefront - lots of pressure on big toe; painful enough that shoes aren't wearable for me. Shoes ran short: I wear 7B in NB, TEVA and 6-1/2 in Chaco. Color and style are good. Heel cushioning and fit were good.

The toe box was not deep enough for my wide feet. I take Women's 7 Wide. Had to return them.

The fit and size are ok. For a running shoe, the sole is very hard and has minimal cushioning, especially in the front of the foot. Also, the stability in the front of the foot is not good and my foot wobbles and isn't as balanced as I would like. In the past I have always been happy with New Balance running shoes and therefore ordered these without trying this particular model ahead of time. However, I will not order this model again but stick to the ones that I like better. I don't recommend this shoe.
