FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
The 680 v9 is excellent for base miles, though elite marathoners might look for more specialized racing-series shoes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and foam density. Always clean by hand.
Is the sizing true to fit?
They generally follow standard athletic sizing, but it is recommended to have a thumb's width of space at the toe.
What is the primary material?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, durable polyester for breathability.
Are these good for flat feet?
The Fresh Foam cushioning offers neutral support, but those with specific arch issues should consult a podiatrist for orthotic compatibility.
Does the white fabric stain easily?
While durable, the white colorway shows dirt easily. We recommend applying a water-repellent spray designed for synthetic fabrics before the first wear.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly tight during long runs
Feet often swell during exercise. Try loosening the laces or wearing thinner performance socks.
Visible dirt on the white upper
Use a soft sponge with mild soap and water to gently blot the fabric. Avoid scrubbing hard as it may fray the polyester fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Fresh Foam 680 v9 trainers remain in optimal condition, verify your size before the first wear, as New Balance sizing can differ from other brands. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the foam integrity and glue bonds. Instead, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and spot-clean the polyester upper using a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators, to maintain the shape and cushioning properties of the midsole.
