Decent product . Not as wide as thought they should be for 4E. Just ok as far as comfort.

My son didn't like the shape of the shoe and we returned them. From the top view, the shoe went skinny in the arch area but bulged out going around the toe area.

Overall review of these new shoes is very good with a few exceptions, mostly concerning use of the shoes. Would not recommend for any hard sports activities such as tennis or pickelball. Sturdier support on sidewalls of shoes would be greatly appreciated, and better support at the final lacing on the top of the shoe. Also an optional insert supports for high arches. On the positive side, appreciate design and comfort level and sporty appearance.

The shoes i think are miss labeled. I have owned two pairs of this shoe in the past and they fit perfectly for the size ordered.

I switch off with other pairs of New Balance I own and the first pair of 680's I bought at the store are the most comfortable pair I've owned. It was apparent however that these new ones are made with cheaper materials and are just not as comfortable.

An uncomfortable shoe without much cushioning. Hardly recommended for hiking.

Do not recommend for 5X feet! I have ~5X width, size 12 feet and I was able to get these on thanks to the all-over stretchy material. (As opposed to older materials that wouldn't have even allowed me to squeeze them on.). So, it initially seemed like they fit but really made them like compression sneakers. Which was okay for short, un-athletic stints but when walking or running for any appreciable distance caused my pinky toe to dig into and rub its neighbor toe till the pinky nail made it bleed.
Will not buy again.

I've had the New Balance 680v6 shoes & absolutely loved them. I assumed the v7 would be the same quality but it wasn't. The sole is thinner, no arch support & the fabric is all bunched up around the toes. Will return for a refund.

Tight on the bridge of my foot. Liked the looks of the shoe, didn't like the fit.

Wish I would have read the comments before purchasing. My wife bought the shoes for me before Christmas and I didn't try them on until I needed them a couple of weeks ago, which was after the return period. My right foot is maybe a quarter of a size longer than my left, which makes these shoes tight on my right foot and unwearable for me. They run maybe a quarter of a size smaller than the other versions I have of the same shoe.

I have another pair of fresh foam nb that are foamier and more comfortable I'm the heal than these purchased directly from you. I thought the new ones purchased from you direct would be as comfortable in the heal. Not the case. Disappointed.

Shoe is extremely light weight and breathable, which is great for warmer weather, but I question its durability. I didn't notice in the photos that the toe cap is so minimal that it doesn't even cover the balls of the foot, so I assume that will be the first part to wear through. The sizing is accurate for me (9.5 4E)

I normally wear size 10 in New Balance. The size 10 in these sneakers was like a size 9!

Left foot shoe heel has a defect making it painful to wear with too much pressure on the heel and breaking the skin on the heel. Shoes have only been worn twice. Have worn New Balance before so suspect poor quality control. Right foot shoe feels perfect. Wish I could return.

Immediately upon putting on the 680v7 the top portion of the heel folded down into the shoe. Upon that portion of the heel did not pop back into its original shape. When I manually pulled it out into its original shape I could feel that the inner layer was not returning to shape. I returned to shoe.

Nice looking shoe that seems comfortable, but they run very small both width and length. Bought these to replace my old 775's which were listed as the exact same size (10.5, 4e). The old 775's fit much better than these.

Continuing the trend by New Balance of cheapening workmanship and undersizing their products.
