These shoes don't seem to be a wide. They're labeled 9 1/2 Wide, but they are way too snug. Otherwise I would like them. Very nice looking.

I ordered these because it is hard to find the 680v6. Assumed they would be even better.
They arrived, looked nice but they were way more narrow and short even being a wide.
Wish they would leave the great models from before as is!

One shoe felt great and looked great! Unfortunately the other shoe was a different size, too small. Unfortunate and I returned.
OBe specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

I normally wear 6.5 wide. I ordered these in 7 wide for more room. They were too small. Could not wear them a full day without pain.

The shoe was cute. However, it was poorly made. You could see the glue all around the edges of the shoe. I returned them and got my refund.

So disappointed with New Balance shoes. I went up a 1/2 size and ordered a wide fit and the toe box was short and tight. New Balance, go back to when you made shoes that fit correctly and didn't squeak when you walked! On to another brand...

REALLY DISAPPOINTED!!! Worst fitting New Balance shoe EVER! The shoes even had smudges and dirt on the white sections of the heel, like they were worn, however the inside looked unused....wish I had read previous reviews before I wasted my time ordering and returning these shoes.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance has been my favorite brand for many years, but no longer.

I love NB and always wear them for walking, running and working out. I always have two pairs that I trade out to give them time to breath and air out. This pair did not last nearly as long as older ones I still have as backups - only a few months at most compared to 6-12 months for others. Not only did the bottom wear out quickly but it wore out/tore at the top near my ankle in different places on both shoes. Will go back to some of my others but not buy these again

Bring back Original 680. Whilefresh for may be comfortable for some It has completely changed your line. I can no longer wear your footwear in fresh from because eats taking away from the width of the shoe. I tried going up a size I tried going up with and I can't get situated. I am completely disappointed in this
And fresh foam.

I ordered a 12 wide but they were more like a 10 regular. I had to send the shoes back.

This shoe makes you put pressure on the ball of your foot making it uncomfortable and causes pain to your foot

I bought New Balance shoes for several years. I tried 547s because of the positive online reviews a couple of years ago, and I loved them. They were comfortable the first day I put them on. When it was time to replace them, they were not being made any more. I tried 680v's but they were not even close to what I expected. They were made "crooked", the toe box was not in line with the mid-section of the shoe. I returned them for that reason and am still looking for a shoe as comfortable and well=made as 547s. I can't fill out the overall fit with honesty--but I will have to say true to size.

So narrow that I can't even wear them. Not the same quality or feel as previous fresh foam shoes. Very disappointing.

I never get blisters from shoes. Never ever from New Balance and New Balance are the only athletic shoes I've worn for several decades. The first time wearing them on a walk outside I got a huge blister on one heel and blood all over my sock and the heel of the shoe. If I hadn't worn them outside I would return them!

This shoe runs full size smaller even though I ordered a half size up, and it was narrower than even a medium size which I usually order. I wear a 6 m and ordered a 6.5 wide or D. I always am happy with New Balance, but this is either a knock-off or just poor quality control.

Bought for teenage daughter & her orthotic inserts; toe box isn't that bad but where the laces are is too tight; she didn't notice a difference from regular width to wide width either; returning to purchase Big Kids 680 that are actually wide width

. They are comfortable when you first put them on but having them on for 11 hours walking and standing.
My feet are sore. I have had them for about 3 weeks. I have purchased new balances before and wore them forever until they got holes in them. But this pair I wouldn't recommend if your gonna wear them more then a few hours.

This came up a bit short in the toe area, unlike the previous model. Unfortunately the previous model is no longer available in my size :(
