Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 680v7

The sneakers look great but are narrow. Ordered a wide and they are fitting tight. Hoping they stretch a bit. Also the heel not as thick as i thought it would be - not as much cusion as other brands of new balance sneakers purchased.

Love the shoes. The shoe was as expected. Just a little short. Purchases size 6.5 which is my true size but toe was all the way at the edge and may be uncomfortable for the big toe. Exchanging foe size 7. Gave 3 stars because I had to return them.

I knew I would send these back almost as soon as I opened the box. They look cheap and didn’t feel well made like my other NBs. They are a true wide width- if you are in between wide and medium these will probably be too wide for you. They seemed like they would be ok for light walks or a day of running errands but don’t offer a lot of cushioning for long distance days.

I like this shoes but unfortunately its on the small side , I’m normally 6.5 - 7 so not sure if I should get 7.5 or wide. Be aware the insole is not plush

I love the look of this shoe, but they ran short on my toes! Nice shoe though

Felt bigger than other New Balance shoes. Just did not like the fit. Very pretty

Please be aware, if you buy these shoes they do not fit like a Medium width. They are narrow across the width across the toes.

Runs slighly smaller, I got them in a 9M when I usually wear an 8.5M But now days the difference between a 8.5 and 9 is so small I would rather get a 9 and not have my toes rub through the top, or be cramped. This applies to sneakers only. Flats I wear a 8M. I read the reviews and go from there. Lot of reviewers said these ran small. I was very surprised how good they felt (after wearing them for an hour or so.) At first they felt too hard. Especially inside bottom of the shoe. Again, now days with the cheap material being used, there is no cushion on the inside. You can blow up the sole with tons of rubber, but still the inside feels hard. Guess they want us to buy the inserts. NOT! If I pay over 150.00 for sneakers I expect great, soft, hand feel and FOOT feel. Got it Shoemakers! I mainly got these to do gardening. I can't wear cheap shoes anytime, so, for dirty jobs I do not want to wear my best shoes in the water and dirt. These are comfortable, and they will work. They felt better than the Asics Nimbus 24. What a horrible disappointment they are. Asics are gone forever. They have gone from bad to worse. Anyway, these New Balance sneakers have some bounce to them. I like that there is not 2 inches of rubber sole jutting out in the back. Stupid design. I changed the inserts . Feel much better now. So difficult to find a decent pair of sneakers!

The wedge-shaped sole pushes the toes into the front, so walking on any grade of downward incline bruises toes...

Very cute but not flexible enough for under-pronation

I have worn New Balance for many years. The width on these is less than others I have purchased. Wore them a few days in the house to see if they loosen but they didn’t. I will be returning them.
