Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 680v7

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!

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.
