Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 680v8

Wide size doesn't actually have wider sole. I ordered these in a wide (2E) bc I have a foot injury and my podiatrist said I needed wider shoes. The sole on these is exactly the same width as the normal width version (D) - the only difference is they add more fabric. So it's for thick feet, or tall feet, but not really wide feet. Misleading.

Its feel great

Fit is good and comfy, feels good to run/walk in. Sole wears quick. Mine lasted a little under a year, working out each morning.

It was ok, I have a wide foot that needs a rounder toe box and NB usually fits that bill but this one just didn’t work for me. I rated lower stars mostly because I didn’t like how thin the upper mesh was on the shoe. Just felt flimsy to me but someone else may like that. Not a bad shoe but I wouldn’t purchase again.

For fine, but felt like I was walking on a foam balance beam … basically no stability.

Felt wider

Felt wider and were not comfortable. Prior were happy with New Balance.

Overall just wore out quickly. Comfortable but didn’t hold up.

Felt "cheap." Didn't seem like it would hold up well at all.

Did not like the fit

What happened to New Balance? I wear a 13 W and almost all NB shoes fit. A couple of years ago they changed their dimensions and now it is RARE to find a pair that is comfortable. Toes stick in to tip of shoe creating pressure and discomfort.

I am profoundly disappointed with these shoes and New Balance. This is the second pair of NB running shoes that I bought in the last year or so that I cannot wear. I have worn NB running shoes for many years and have loved them. Both of the newer pairs have felt smaller and narrower than the same size and width I have always ordered. I AM DONE wearing New Balance shoes.
