FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for long-distance marathons?
The 680 v9 is best for daily training, short-to-mid distance runs, and casual use rather than extreme long-distance racing.
How do I ensure the right size?
New Balance sizing is generally standard. We recommend measuring your feet in the afternoon when they are slightly swollen to ensure the most accurate fit.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the stock insole is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the polyester construction is breathable and not intended for use in wet or rainy conditions.
What surfaces are these shoes designed for?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running, paved paths, and indoor gym surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of decreased cushioning over time
This is often a sign of foam fatigue. Allow the shoes to rest for 24-48 hours between intense uses to allow the foam to decompress.
Outer sole picking up debris
Periodically inspect the tread and use a toothpick or soft brush to dislodge small stones or stuck debris to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Fresh Foam 680 v9s last, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Given the polyester upper, do not machine wash or tumble dry these shoes as this can break down the adhesives and foam integrity. Instead, clean the exterior using a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks—ideally moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool—to maintain the comfort benefits of the shoe interior. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
