I am still breaking them in and they look great but feel a little tight.

I bought this model because I had the older version of it and loved it, unfortunately it fits different and not as comfortable the back seems to come up higher on my ankle. Probably use them for my weight trainer classes and go back to my older version.

These shoes are very comfortable. I can't comment on the arch support as I have orthotics that I have to use. They did fit well into the shoes with no issues. My one complaint would be that the lace holes are narrow and an odd longer shape, and I was unable to put the elastic laces that I prefer into them. I don't know why the designers would think that these lace holes need to be such a non-user friendly shape.

I'm an avid Walker and that is my main use for NB 680. This is my 2nd pair of 680's. My main complaint is the cushioning under the ball of my foot is not as soft as I would like. I do have problem feet so NB and Merrill have been my go to shoes. They are the best for my feet that I have found. I do like that I can remove the footbed and use my orthodox insert.

I have had to routinely go up a half size in new balance shoes lately. It seems like they changed their laste or pattern. These are pretty comfortable. The shoes have a wrinkle in the fabric from the arch area to the toe as if the fabric was cut too short and is being pulled out of shape even when they are not being worn. They are good enough for now.

I wear a size 8W in all athletic shoes and that's what I ordered. They were wide enough but too short! I needed about a size larger but don't want to jump up an entire size. These were very nice and comfortable otherwise. New Balance was easy to deal with and very prompt.

New Balance shoes run very small. I knew this from experience. I wear a size 6 sandal and bought these in a 7.5. These are good for running errands and light workouts. The soles are a little stiff.

Shoe seemed very comfortable and lightweight but runs a bit small. My usual sneaker size is 8.5 (shoe size 8) but the 8.5 were too snug and I would have tried a 9 if available.

Love it but the foam insert is thin and not durable enough for more than 4 months.

I had bought the 680 style before and liked it, so thought I would do the same. I have a narrow foot and this style seems to work fine for me. As always new balance has quality craftsmanship.

I have another pair of new balance that I really like. I bought the same size and these were small like shorter small. Had to send three back and will reorder.

The heel bothered my daughter’s heel. These shoes run at least 1/2 size small.

I ordered a wide 8. They are supposed to be wide but they feel really tight. Usually when I buy wide shoes they fit a little loose so I always order a half size down. Thank god I didn’t do that with these shoes because they fit really tight. I would order again but I would order a size up.

I love New Balance because they fit well and they are light weight. The web site was easy to navigate and they came when they were supposed to. I will buy from them again.

Shoes are good for what I want them for. Zoom workouts. They fit decently. The ones that I have purchased in the past have a little more toe room. If I bought these for running or outdoor wear I would have returned them.

While these don’t look like much, they are really comfortable on my flat, tend toward pronating feet.

These running shoes were immediately comfortable for me and I think they were a good value for the price. I work out at a gym (mostly treadmill and elliptical) and they work very well in that environment. However I'm not sure they provide enough support and cushioning for "real" running outdoors.

I ordered these shoes a half size up from my regular size, which is 6 and a half, because I know this type of shoe sometimes run small. My toes were still touching the end of that shoe so reordered up another half size. I have received these 7 and a half, and they are fine.

These shoes were definitely shorter than the norm. Comfortable enough that I will be sizing up.

Took a while to find the perfect fit and I'm thrilled that I got these. Got an insole for arch support but otherwise they're good sneakers without breaking the bank. May need to get another pair soon, I'm wearing these so frequently!

True to size and really cute but when I laced them up the tongue stood straight up maybe it was just the foam not lying flat

I bought the Fresh Foam 680v7 because I had previously purchased a pair and was very satisfied. These were not the same, very uncomfortable and hard on my hammer toes. The previous pair was great. Don't know what happened!
