Really like the color and laces on these. Wish they were slightly wider (I purchased the regular width)

I have 5 pair of fresh foam so far. And I didn't have any problems about size but this one comes smaller than what I bought before. I felt like I couldn't stretch my toes for few days. But after a week, it was fine.

Good shoe, great fit …. Good looking sneaks. One of the better economy sneaks. Will get me by till I can upgrade to one of the better models. I tend to favor New Balance because there is always room in the shoe for my toes to splay, and they still have a few made in America styles.

I buy new balance shoes for running. These shoes were comfortable for the first one or two runs but then the foam insole seems to disappear. I'm going to keep these shoes though and just buy insoles for them.

I am a fitness instructor and fresh foam sneakers allow me to have just what I need - a lightness on my feet as well as flexible stability and good support. It is not rigid, stiff, heavy, or too wimpy for multiplanar movement and quick direction changes. And attractive enough to wear outside of class for a post-workout latte or private client training!

I've had the most success with New Balance models. I get good mileage out of them and they cushion well

I have purchased Brooks shoes in the past and decided to try the New Balance. They are not as comfortable at the Brooks shoes are, lacking in as much arch support. They are fine though and work out well for walking.

When my shoe delivery arrived I didn't think my box contained my shoes. The box was so light weight. I have been wearing my shoes for about 2 weeks now. I love the color and they are light weight and comfortable. My only issue and it is my personal issue is the high backs. It just means I can't slip my shoes on.

I decided to return these. I ordered 1/2 size larger than what I normally wear and I found that size to be too small. I tried them on at a local shoe store a full size larger and that seemed to be right. Not as comfortable as ASICS cumulus or brooks ghost, but not terrible either.

I use my tennis shoes for walking. I have several foot issues that makes it
difficult for me to find the right fit. I usually don't get the shoes online because
of that. I had to remove my orthotics and use the original insert for a better
fit. I hope they wear well with time.

This shoe was for my mother, who cannot get out and try on shoes. She usually takes a size 10, but I got her an 11 based on the reviews I read. The size 11 was a good length. The shoes needed to be returned because they were too wide in the heel, and she felt them rubbing up and down when she walked. She has always worn new balance. We'll try a different style

This style ran smaller than all my other NBs. Will have to exchange.

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.
