Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 680v7

I have worn many pairs of New Balance athletic shoes and have liked them very much. I ordered this shoe in my usual size which is 6.5 Wide. But it fit quite tight in the toes and the length. I didn't order a size larger because in my experience a 7 is too long. I am disappointed I couldn't rely on my usual size being the right fit.

The sole tapers too much at the toe area. This leads to reduced absorption and push off for the front of the foot.

Light weight but size is small

I have been wearing New Balance for many, many years, but these latest ones I purchased don't seem to have the same quality I have been used to.

I ordered 2 sizes because I wasn't sure which would fit! The sneakers arrived and looked great. However, due to my very high arch, I couldn't get my foot in either pair. It wasn't the shoes, it was my feet!

I only wear new balance shoes; kids and women . These are just a little too narrow even though I got the wide width.

I wear an 8.5 wide. Ordered this shoe and it was too tight. I am exchanging it for a half size bigger. I like the look of the shoe and the price, so I hope next pair will fit.

But have yo return. 3rd pair? All very pretty but to small. Wear 6-1/2 shoe, sneakers 7 but 7-1/2 to short in these shoes.

the front of the shoe is very short so besides buying a larger shoe, the tops of my toes are being crunched by the reinforced toe.

Too small; returning them and ordering a larger size.

I have been purchasing only New Balance shoes for a decade. This is the first time I had to return shoes as they ran very narrow. I hope NB is not altering sizes.

I was quite disappointed with this purchase, and I should have known by the price. The pair I purchased before were $150+ and great quality, these were on sale for $50 something dollars and just not good quality. When you put them on the back slips inside and you have to dig it out - its not even taut enough to stand straight while you put your foot into the shoe. Won't waste my money on another cheap pair.

I will use these for short walks and inside. They look pretty but not the usual feel of New Balance that I have had before.

The shoes look very nice but I am disappointed I didn't realize how close my toes are to the front of shoe. I ordered my normal size in a wide width but the shoes run small by about 1/2 size. I've already worn them and cannot return now unfortunately.

THese run small and narrower than normal. I had to give them to my daughter in law.

Was so excited about getting them once I received it I put them on - which I got 1/2 size bigger - it's hurts my toes. Recommend one size bigger. Wore and sad about it. Don't know if they will exchange

The shoes are cute, but they run small.

Similar to the Roav, I ordered a different color in the exact style and size to a pair I have that fits. The new ones were too small. Disappointed!

I ordered the usual 1/2 size bigger than my usual size and was disappointed to find that the usually generous toe box was very tight. Now, not sure whether I should get a larger size, a different style, or start looking around for a new brand. I've been satisfied for years with New Balance--this was a first.

Seem too tight by the top of my foot area. Wear them off and on but not daily.
