I wear these to workout. Very comfortable and responsive. Fits TTS but a little snug on the upper.

We are going on a trip and I needed a new pair of walking shoes. They fit great and look good, however the print on top of the shoe is off center on the left sneaker. They are not balanced.. not a deal breaker but every time I look down I think about it.

Needs a better arch and softer heel....After three days I noticed my heel was bothering me....Like the look and they are very light weight....

Size was true and these feel very comfortable. Out the box I wore them on a vacation that included a lot of walking around and I felt great. Plus I love the colors.

Shoes are great for road running. Uppers are a little flimsy for anything off pavement, but they have a wide toe box, plenty of support, and are super lightweight.

I do not purchase from Zappos regularly. I ordered these New Balance and was very excited to get them only to be disappointed when they were too snug. It could not have been easier to exchange them and the new, larger pair arrived in two days, before I even had a chance to send the other ones back. Excellent customer service and the new size fits perfectly!

I've been wearing NB 990's and 1540's 4E, which fit, but are pricey. These cost half as much buy are a good half inch less wide in the 13 4E size. They work for me (barley). Wish they matched the sizing of the 1540's.

Fit and size; good. Hope I can squeeze an orthotic into it when necessary.

I am a recreational runner, 5K and under for exercise, and this is my second pair of 680s. They are a great shoe for the price and my use, mostly of roads and the treadmill. I put 300 miles on my first pair, and would have kept going. The cushioning and soles held up well, but the fabric began breaking down.

Wish the arch support was better. Will have to spend another $40-$50 to make the shoes work. But a good price on these New Balance 680v7.
Zappos has outstanding customer support when the wrong shoe was mailed. Thank you.

For an inexpensive athletic shoe, they feel good so far, surprisingly cushioned. To protect your arches, I suggest buying additional insoles.
Zappos is great. Thank you.

Much too wide. I discovered when I looked at them closely- they were Men’s size. No wonder! So I can’t wear them

I bought these as an alternative to my ride or die 840s (version 5 was so ugly) - width wise they are comparable, but the heel has this padding that juts into my heal and causes pain (and for me, blisters) alone the side of my inner heal, below the ankle bone, which is a very weird place to get blisters. Not as comfy as the 840s but an ok shoe unless you are part of the wide heel club

I normally wear a size 12 in 2E on my New Balance 840s. They had these 680s on sale in size 12 in 4E(x-wide) and they felt like 11.5 2E. Narrower and smaller than expected. They are still comfortable but a little tight in the toes compared to my 840s.

I think I was trying to order a 860 shoe so was disappointed in the 680...not nearly the quality and fit of the 860 and cost to send it back means I'm
stuck with a shoe I won't wear

Shoe looks nice, designed well. But runs small and narrow. This is not a 4E so size up one size.

I've always been a fan of New Balance and have owned several pairs, but these shoes fit very tightly. They are uncomfortable as they press against my toes. The laces are too short to use the heel lock. Disappointed.

The shoe lace eyes are to far apart, I see my socks between the shoe lace eyes and the tongue.

On the journey to a wide width running shoe, I have found that New Balance seems to be getting worse/cheaper with their fits. 4E 9.5 feels the same as a standard with 9.0 mens on this particular shoe. Odd

I need more cushion for running. These are light on cushion. I thought would be great for elliptical & weights. These are not as wide as my 1080s, which are just wide.
